history
The village of Brand was laid out at the beginning of the 18th century and was then part of the Electorate of Saxony . In 1777 the place was already called Brand , that year it was cultivated by three gardeners and eight cottagers. In 1791 the settlement was called Brand bey Muskau . From 1806 the community belonged to the Kingdom of Saxony , after the division of Saxony decided at the Congress of Vienna , Brand came to the Kingdom of Prussia . There the place belonged from 1816 to the district of Rothenburg (Ob. Laus.) In the administrative district of Liegnitz of the province of Silesia . Brand was subordinate to the rulership of Muskau and thus belonged to the possessions of the Lords of Pückler-Muskau .
In 1825 Brand had 124 inhabitants. In 1843 the community consisted of 18 houses and had 136 inhabitants. At that time there was a pitch oven and a tavern in town. In church terms, Brand belonged to Muskau. The local children went to school because of the more favorable location in Haide. The population of the rural community declined steadily in the following years, first to 106 in 1871 and then to 87 in 1885. Ten years later, Brand only had 61 inhabitants. In 1904 Brand was incorporated into Skerbersdorf . In 1919 the province of Silesia was divided, the village of Brand then belonged to the province of Lower Silesia . In 1938 Lower Silesia was reunited with Upper Silesia, but the Province of Silesia was dissolved again only three years later. After the end of the Second World War, the municipality of Skerbersdorf with the village of Brand came into the Soviet occupation zone .
On January 16, 1947, Brand came to the Weisswasser-Görlitz district , which was renamed the Niesky district a year later . From 1949 the place belonged to the GDR. During the district reform on July 25, 1952, the municipality of Skerbersdorf with fire was assigned to the Weißwasser district in the Cottbus district . At the beginning of the 1960s, Brand was cleared and devastated for the expansion of the Nochten military training area. The local corridor was incorporated into Krauschwitz on January 1, 1994 with the municipality of Skerbersdorf.
