history

Byhleguhre and Byhlen, which were still Saxon villages until the Congress of Vienna , belonged to the Lübben (Spreewald) district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg after 1815 and to the Lübben district in the GDR district of Cottbus from 1952 . Since 1993, the places have been in the Dahme-Spreewald district of Brandenburg.

The municipality was created on October 26, 2003 from the voluntary amalgamation of the previously independent municipalities Byhleguhre (Běła Góra) and Byhlen (Bělin).

Byhleguuhr

Byhleguhre was first mentioned in a deed of sale about the possessions of the Lübbenau lordship on September 29, 1315 as "Belgar". The name comes from Lower Sorbian and means white mountain . Byhleguhre is said to have been near this mountain in the past, but burned down almost completely in July 1719. The residents rebuilt it on the spot where it can still be found today. As part of the settlement of colonists in the region, which was desired from 1782, the villages Mühlendorf and Neu-Byhleguhre were founded by the end of the 18th century on the initiative of Gottlob Carl Wilibald von Houwald. Górka (hill) is to be interpreted as a small form of Góra (mountain). The cutting mill that gives Mühlendorf its name ( Rězak , Lower Sorbian for saw or cutting mill) can be traced back to the 17th century. In 1815 Lower Lusatia passed into Prussian ownership. In the time of National Socialism , Byhleguhre was called "Geroburg" because the place was associated with the Margrave Gero . Neu-Byhleguhre and Mühlendorf were incorporated as Neu-Geroburg and Mühlendorf on October 1, 1938. Since the end of the Second World War , the places have had their old names again.

Byhlen

Byhlen was first mentioned in a document in 1340. The name is derived from the Lower Sorbian word běła and means white village . In 1447 the owners of Straupitz, the von Ilows, sold their until then enlarged property "Straupitz with all accessories, namely the village of Straupitz with the vineyards and Vorwerk, Laasow with the mill there, Mochow, Liebitz, Byhlen and Byhleguhre" to Kaspar , Heinrich and Franz, Burgraves and Lords of Dohna. However, the property had to be sold to the creditor Joachim II von der Schulenburg in October 1578. After a further sale of the rule in 1615 to Georg von Wallwitz, it was finally passed on to Christoph von Houwald in 1655 for 54,137 Reichstaler and remained in the possession of the von Houwald family until the end of the Second World War . During the Nazi era, the Slavic sounding place name Byhlen was changed to Waldseedorf in 1937, and that of Byhlener See to Houwald See. As with Byhleguhre and Neu-Byhleguhre, the renaming was reversed after the Second World War.
