history
Bluno is a street green village . The place was first mentioned in a document in 1401 in a deed of donation issued in Prague , at that time with the spelling Blunde . In 1568 the place was called Blun , around 1635 the name was called Bluem or Bluhm . The current form of the place name first appeared in 1670. The place name, which comes from the Upper Sorbian language, means “settlement in the floodplain”. According to another source, the place name is interpreted as "village on a hut with trees".
From 1568 at the latest, the Bluno manor belonged to the Hoyerswerda registry office. Then living in 34 obsessive man and every 20 gardeners and cottagers . During the Thirty Years' War , Bluno was repeatedly plagued by robberies and arson. Due to the war and the plague epidemic at this time, the population of Blunos decimated strongly. After the end of the war, Bluno was rebuilt in its current location, the oldest building in the village is the village church from 1673. Before that, the village was located a little further south-east in an uneconomical swamp area . In 1814 the population of Bluno consisted of three rich estates, 24 service farmers, five gardeners and 13 cottagers. The villagers also had the right to keep sheep.
In 1825, Bluno had 371 residents. Until August 1 of the same year, the village belonged to the Spremberg district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg , after which the place was reclassified to the Hoyerswerda district in the province of Silesia . Since then, Bluno has been one of the westernmost villages in Silesia. At that time the Sornosche Elster flowed near the village, but it was later dredged over by the Spreetal open-cast lignite mine. A customs house still belonged to Bluno in the 1820s , but at that time it was already being used as a village mug .
Bluno is part of the official settlement area of the Sorbs and was historically predominantly Sorbian-speaking. Arnošt Muka counted 488 inhabitants for his statistics on the Sorbian population in Lusatia in 1884, of which 481 were Sorbs (99%). In the following time the number of Sorbian inhabitants decreased , in 1956 Ernst Tschernik still had 234 active Sorbian-speaking inhabitants and 86 inhabitants with knowledge of Sorbian.
In 1902, Bluno was connected with a train station on the then newly built Neupetershain – Hoyerswerda railway. In 1937 the place name was changed to Blunau in Lusatia due to the Nazi Germanization of Sorbian place names . During the Second World War , the number of inhabitants in Bluno fell sharply, from 635 inhabitants in 1939 to 550 inhabitants in 1946. In that year, the change of the place name was reversed. From 1949 Bluno was part of the GDR and was assigned to the district of Hoyerswerda in the Cottbus district during the district reform of July 25, 1952 . In 1966, the train service in Bluno was stopped and the railway line dismantled. In the 1960s, lignite was discovered in the region around Bluno . In 1970 part of the village was devastated by the Spreetal opencast mine , and seven families had to be relocated. In 1989 a part of the town was demolished again, this time by the Spreetal-Nordost opencast mine, which resulted in three families being resettled. In 1991, the lignite mining near Bluno was finally given up, the remaining holes were flooded.
After the turn of the circle Hoyerswerda was renamed district Hoyerswerda and merged in 1995 with the district Kamenz to district Kamenz . On July 1, 1995, the municipality of Bluno joined the previously independent municipalities of Geierswalde , Klein Partwitz , Nardt , Neuwiese , Sabrodt, Seidewinkel and Tätzschwitz to form the new municipality of Elsterheide . On January 1, 2008, the Kamenz district was dissolved and merged with the then Bautzen district to form the new Bautzen district .
