history

The building was built in the 1920s by the Niederlausitzer Bergbauverein . The association founded in 1898 as an association of the Niederlausitz lignite works by 13 companies represented the interests of the Niederlausitzer lignite works . As business increased, more rooms were needed. In 1920, a building plot was acquired on Dubinaweg not far from the Amtsmühle and south of the castle park. The mining house was opened on May 16, 1924. In addition to the mining association, the building was used by mining-related institutions such as the Employers' Association of Niederlausitzer Bergbau, the Ostelbische Treuhandgesellschaft für Bergmannsiedlungen, the editorial team of the works newspaper Der Niederlausitzer Braunkohlebergmann and the lignite museum as well as the Niederlausitzer Wasserwerkgesellschaft. In addition, the mining preschool used the building for two semesters of preparation for the students at the Eisleben mountain school . The lignite museum opened on November 9, 1925. After 1933 the legal advice center of the German Workers Front moved into the house.

After the lignite companies were placed under trust by Order 124 of the Soviet Military Administration in 1945, expropriated in 1948 and transferred to public ownership, the building was no longer used for mining purposes. In 1947 the building was used as a district office. With the completion of the administrative and territorial reform, the building became the seat of the newly formed Senftenberg district in July 1952 . Since October 1994 the building has been the seat of the District Office of the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district.
