Byhlen , Bělin in Lower Sorbian , is a district of the municipality Byhleguhre-Byhlen in the Lieberose / Oberspreewald district in Brandenburg . It has about 180 inhabitants (2007).
history
Bronze Age finds and a large urn burial ground, which was discovered west of the community in 1936, indicate that the area was settled much earlier. Byhlen was first mentioned in a document in 1340. Its spelling in the old documents changed several times from Belin , Beelin , Belyn , Bühlen or Biehlen to the current form. Possibly the Slavic stem belin of the Lower Sorbian term bely (= white) indicates a light sandy area or placemark. In 1655 the rule of Straupitz and the surrounding villages passed to the Houwald family . The places have been associated with this dynasty of counts for almost 300 years, with wars, famines, but also long-term positive developments being recorded. The place grew from a farm to a village.
In the course of the National Socialist Germanization of Sorbian place names , the place was renamed Waldseedorf in 1937 .
After the Second World War , the village name returned to Byhlen , the Straupitz Count was ousted, and the land reform brought land to the small farmers. An LPG was founded. During the GDR era, the Red Army operated a military training area near Byhlen.
On October 26, 2003, the communities Byhleguhre and Byhlen were merged to form the new community Byhleguhre-Byhlen.
location
Byhlen is located on a lake, the predominantly ecologically oriented agriculture characterizes the economic life. Worth seeing are the Pintschens Quell (a spring in the forest that probably used to provide the water for the Straupitz Castle Brewery), the vineyard and the gay.
traffic
Byhlen used to be a traffic junction between Cottbus and the Schwielochsee . From 1846 to 1879 the Cottbus-Schwielochsee Railway ran right on the spot . It was a horse-drawn train. It was one of the first railways in Niederlausitz . In 1897 the Spreewaldbahn was opened. Byhlen was a junction at the junction to Lieberose and had its own train station. The railway brought trade and prosperity to the village. The technically outdated runway was shut down in 1970.
