Döllingen ( Sorbian Dolinki ) is a district of the municipality of Plessa in the Elbe-Elster district in Brandenburg and is located about five kilometers northeast of the city of Elsterwerda in the Niederlausitzer Heidelandschaft nature park .
Döllingen belonged to the Bad Liebenwerda district until the district reform in Brandenburg in 1993 and had 423 inhabitants in 2009.
history
Döllingen was first mentioned in writing as Dolgan in a document collection around 1400 . The place name is derived from Sorbian and means "long" (cf. Upper Sorbian dołhi ). The village was probably named after the Döllinger See, which was once near the village. Due to the construction of the raft ditch in the middle of the 18th century, which, like the raft canal starting in Elsterwerda, served to transport timber from the huge forest areas bordering the village to Dresden , the lake later dried up "with its abundance of fish and its beautiful carp bottom" .
In 1408 the place belonged to Pope and Conrad von Köckritz as a whole . Siegmund von Reichenbach sold the village of Dolgen in 1438 to the brothers Herrmann and Hans Schaff zu Falkenberg with the permission of the Duchess and Dowager Prince Offka . In 1489 Georg von Hundorf acquired half of the village. Döllingen belonged to the Liebenwerda office .
In 1589 a small chapel was built. This was demolished in 1739 due to dilapidation. In the same year a baroque style church was built, which is now a listed building. The building, which cost around 300 Reichstaler, was donated by a noblewoman.
Noa von Heuna , who in 1598 repurchased his father's pledged village from those of Köckeritz , merged five of the town's farms and made a farm out of them, later the Döllingen manor.
The children of the village attended until their own school was set up in the Döllinger Hirtenhaus in 1804 in neighboring Hohenleipisch. In 1855 a new school was built west of the church, which was replaced between 1906 and 1908 by a new school on today's Schulstrasse.
In 1816 the village had 218 inhabitants and around 1910 451 inhabitants.
The royal Prussian lieutenant colonel Hermann von Ploetz (1816–1879), who had lived at Gut Döllingen since 1856, initiated the drilling for lignite in the middle of the 19th century . These wells were successful. As early as April 1, 1857, the region 's first lignite was extracted from the Emilia coal mine. This underground pit only existed for a short time.
1920 originated in nearby Kahla in the Elstertal highly visible, 35-meter-high Bertzitturmruine , one of the oldest today Invest ruins of Germany. A low-temperature lignite charring of the lignite from the nearby Ada Döllinger mine was planned . It is a steel frame building. The stairs are closed due to structural defects and can therefore only be climbed with great care. The tower is part of a planned factory in which the so-called Bertzit method , a method for drying coal, was to be used. Lignite mining ended near Döllingen with the closure of the last Ada underground mine in 1930. The effects of mining have shaped the landscape around Döllingen. Funding from the Brandenburg Ministry of the Environment in 1995 made it possible to plant and care for almost 600 trees on the edge of the village. A meadow orchard was created . Here a circular hiking trail as a nature trail leads guests through the orchards. This project, supported by the Niederlausitzer Heidelandschaft nature park, is to be promoted further in order to develop Döllingen into a real orchard village .
On April 1, 1974, Döllingen merged with the neighboring municipality of Kahla to form the new municipality of Döllingen-Kahla. On February 1, 1990, the two places were separated again.
The place Döllingen was incorporated into the municipality of Plessa on December 31, 2001.
Culture and sights
Pomological Garden Döllingen
In 2000 the opening and laying of the foundation stone for the pomological show and teaching garden took place. Over 150 old and newer main types of fruit, such as apples, pears, cherries and plums and so-called additional fruits such as nuts and peaches grow here on an area of three hectares. Here you can follow the development of the fruit trees from their wild form to the latest cultivars and also look at different growth and crown forms. Not every type of fruit tree blooms at the same time, so you can experience a special kind of blooming calendar. Fruit fields and orchards demonstrate different traditional cultivation methods.
Visitors can get advice here and find out about the characteristics of the variety.
This project was launched and supervised by the Niederlausitzer Heidelandschaft nature park and the Naturschutzbund Deutschland - Fachgruppe Streuobst. The sponsor is the "Landschaftspflegeverein der Schradengemeinden e. V. "
Annual festivals and events
After the reunification , the Schützengilde Döllingen e. V. This organizes an annual shooting festival, which has become a magnet for many visitors from near and far. The shooting festival takes place on the first weekend in September.
Every year in October, the Niederlausitz Apple Day takes place in the Pomological Garden.
