Interpretation and development of the place name

Brieske was first mentioned in 1448 as Brehisk . The name developed via Breßk (1474) and Briesk (1529) to the related name used today. The name Brieske goes back to the Sorbian word for birch (Brazk).

timeline

The Sorbian line village was surrounded by water and swampy meadows. Until the regulation of the Schwarzen Elster in 1850, the land yields were so low that the residents did not have to pay any interest grain to the Senftenberg Office . From 1906 onwards, with the industrialization and the development of the Marga open pit mine by Ilse Bergbau AG , the economic situation of the residents changed somewhat. The influx of industrial workers led to a strong population increase. Between 1907 and 1915, a factory settlement with the character of a garden city was created for the mine workers, the garden city of Marga .

On January 1, 1974, the neighboring village of Niemtsch was incorporated into Brieske. As a result of the turnaround , Niemtsch was hived off on May 6, 1990. At the end of December 31, 2001, both places were incorporated into Senftenberg. From 1992 to December 31, 2001, the administrative headquarters of the Am Senftenberger See office was located in Brieske . The local mayor is Christina Nicklisch.

Culture and sights

Like the former single homes, the machine house and the wash house, the garden city is one of the architectural monuments in Senftenberg . In the miniature park Brieske , models on a scale of 1:25 are exhibited in an open area of ​​2500 square meters. The main attraction is a model of a complete opencast mine with all large equipment and driving operations. In Brieske-Dorf there is a pedunculate oak that is protected as a natural monument.

Transport links

Brieske is on the Grossenhain – Cottbus railway and near the Lübbenau – Kamenz railway . However, no passenger trains stop here.

The federal highway 169 ran through Brieske until the opening of the Senftenberg bypass in November 2008 and has since then been north-west around the town. To the west of the village is the Senftenberg-Südwest junction on the federal road, which has been expanded to 2 + 1 lanes .
