history

Dissen was founded by West Slavic settlers from the Lusitzi tribe . The place was first mentioned in 1449 in a document as part of the Mark Brandenburg . In 1464 the place was already listed as Dissen . In the following time the place name changed from Dissow (1466) to Dessen (1486), Dossenn (1502) and Dysenn (1543) back to Dissen in 1652. After that, the place was listed three times under a different name, 1761 as Deschno , in 1843 under his Sorbian name Dešno and again as Deschno in 1847. The place name is probably derived from the Sorbian personal name Dycha and means village of Dycha . Another possible meaning is dull smelly place , which indicates the location of the place.

The Wendish village church of Dissen was built in 1772. In 1937 it was designed with verses from the Bible in Lower Sorbian . Services in the Sorbian / Wendish language were held in the church until the 20th century, until this was forbidden by the National Socialists ; Bogumił Šwjela held the last Sorbian service before this ban in 1941. Wendish services have been held in the village church again since 1987.

Since 1978 there has been a local museum in Dissen , which shows the life of the former Wendish and rural population. Among other things, tools, household items and children's toys as well as various variants of Sorbian costumes are exhibited there .

With eight to twelve occupied stork nests a year, Dissen is one of the most stork-rich villages in Germany.

In 2005 Dissen was the winner of the Spree-Neisse district in the competition Our village has a future .

After the Congress of Vienna , Dissen came to the Kingdom of Prussia as part of Niederlausitz . On July 25, 1952, the community was added to the newly formed Cottbus-Land district in the Cottbus district. After the reunification , Dissen was in the Cottbus district in Brandenburg and has been part of the Burg (Spreewald) office since July 16, 1992 . After the district reform in Brandenburg on December 6, 1993 , Dissen finally came to the newly formed Spree-Neisse district . On December 31, 2001, Dissen was merged with the neighboring town of Striesow to form the new municipality of Dissen-Striesow .

Sorbian language

Until the 1950s , Sorbian / Wendish was the colloquial language in town. For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a population of 815 inhabitants, all of whom were Sorbs , in the 1880s . In 1956, Ernst Tschernik still had a Sorbian-speaking population of 74.8%. Since then, the proportion of the Sorbian-speaking population has declined; in 1995, 28.9% of the population still knew Sorbian. In 2003, Dissen was recognized as a language-friendly municipality in a state competition . Furthermore, the children in Dissen learn the language as part of the Witaj project in kindergarten .

In Dissen, as in almost all places in the Sorbian settlement area, the place and street signs are bilingual. The monolingual Sorbian district boards are a special feature.
