Buchhain (until 1937 Buckowien , Bukowina in Lower Sorbian ) is a district of the town of Doberlug-Kirchhain in the Elbe-Elster district in Brandenburg .
history
Interpretation of the place name
The place name comes from the Slavic Bukowina and means red beech , red beech forest. Under National Socialist rule, the place was renamed "Buchhain" on October 30, 1937 in the course of the Germanization of Sorbian place names .
timeline
The first documentary mention is for the year 1329. Rudolf I (Sachsen-Wittenberg) sold "Buckewien" in 1329 with the right of patronage, so that the feudal people, whatever their status, should take the feud from the abbot every time . The village was thus one of the 14 monastery villages of the Dobrilugk monastery . There is evidence of a pastor in 1380. Buchhain is a typical rural village . The village is laid out in a rectangular shape, with the church and smithy on the village meadow. Buckowien was a market town with a wax, honey and bee market. Wahrenbrück is said to have taken over this market later . In 1495 the church at Burgkewin belongs to the archpriest Sprengel in Schlieben . The village church, already mentioned in 1346, is a rectangular field stone building with a late Gothic transverse tower. The barrel vaulted interior dates from the 17th century and was modernized in 1977. The pulpit altar was made in 1785 by Johann Gottfried Winklern, a carpenter from Sorno . There is a Rococo tombstone on the southern outer wall .
In 1529 Buckowien had 15 hofners and only 1 gardener ( Büdner ).
In 1815 Buckowien became part of the Luckau district . In 1952 the Finsterwalde district was established and Buchhain was assigned to it. With the incorporation in 1993 Buchhain came into the newly created district of Elbe-Elster .
A special discovery was made near Buckowien in 1850 when a Germanic equestrian grave from the 3rd century was found. The iron and bronze objects contained therein are in the Museum of Prehistory and Early History in Berlin.
Buchhain was important as a central school location for the west of the Finsterwalde district . The school was expanded in 1976 and a gymnasium was added. In 1988/89 the school was replaced by a new building.
In 2008 Buchhain successfully applied for the annually awarded title of Nature Park Community. Buchhain was thus responsible for organizing the nature park festival for the Niederlausitzer Heidelandschaft nature park in 2008.
