history

The first mention of Borow comes from the year 1353. The village was in the northeast of the Mark Meissen in the Grossenhain district near the border with the Lausitz . Other forms of the name were Bora (1376), Paraw (1406), Poraw (1503) and Bohr (1504). Since 1791 the village was called Bohra .

There is evidence of a Vorwerk since 1547. Bohra had been parish in Cracow since 1540 , and in 1938 the village was re-parish to Koenigsbrück.

From 1551 the village was subject to the rule of Königsbrück, from 1562 to the state rule of Königsbrück and from 1764 to the Glauschnitz manor. Administratively, Bohra belonged to the Hayn office from 1547 and to the Radeberg with Laußnitz office from 1843. In the 19th century several peat cuttings were carried out near Bohra. There were also smaller greywacke quarries in the vicinity of the village .

With the reorganization of the Saxon administrative structures, Bohra was assigned to the Königsbrück court office in 1856 and to the Kamenz district administration in 1875 . In 1907, the Königsbrück military training area was laid out northeast of the village in the Kraków Heath. In 1925 the district of Glauschnitz was reclassified from the municipality of Stenz to Bohra.

In the course of the expansion of the Königsbrück military training area decided in 1937, the Bohra community was dissolved in 1938. The properties were bought by the German Reich and the 215 residents were relocated. The place was evacuated on April 1, 1938. The 498 hectare parish corridor became part of the military training area. The district Glauschnitz was excluded from this, it was officially reclassified to Laußnitz in 1940 .

After the end of the Second World War, the military training area was seized by the Soviet occupying forces . On June 25, 1945, Silesian refugees settled in the undestroyed villages of Bohra, Steinborn , Krakau and Naundorf , which were in the military area . The local commander of the Red Army in Koenigsbrück ordered the evacuation of Kraków on August 3, 1945, and for military reasons he also prohibited repopulation of the villages of Sella , Zochau and Rohna . This left Bohra, along with Steinborn and Naundorf, one of the three villages on the military training area that were repopulated after the war. In 1947 Bohra and Steinborn merged to form a rural community Steinborn-Bohra. That same year, Bohra and Steinborn at the instigation of the GSSD vacated and dissolved the municipality Steinborn-Bohra. The village was later shot to death. The corridors of Steinborn-Bohra have belonged to Königsbrück since 1957.
