About this picture
Doberlug Castle , once the residence of the Saxon dukes, today the city's cultural and exhibition center

Doberlug-Kirchhain ( Dobrjoług-Góstkow in Lower Sorbian ) is a twin town in the south of Brandenburg in the Elbe-Elster district . It was created in 1950 by merging the neighboring small towns of Doberlug (until 1937 Dobrilugk) and Kirchhain . The Cistercian monastery Dobrilugk and the white tannery brought prosperity and importance.

The existence of two town centers results in typical characteristics of a twin town : there are two volunteer fire brigades , two rifle guilds, two cantories and associations for each town center. The distance between them is about 2.5 km.

geography

location

Kleine Elster in Kirchhain
Doberlug-Kirchhain at the Niederlausitzer Heidelandschaft nature park

Doberlug-Kirchhain is centrally located in the Elbe-Elster district, immediately north of the Niederlausitzer Heidelandschaft nature park, which comprises 484 km² . The Kleine Elster , a tributary of the Black Elster , crosses the urban area from northeast to southwest and flows into the adjacent nature park. Berlin (112 km), Dresden (78 km), Leipzig (99 km) and Cottbus (63 km) can be reached directly by train.

Characteristic for the urban area are the relatively high proportion of green, field and forest areas, etc. a. the Doberluger Forest, as well as the quarry ponds near Hennersdorf and the local recreation area Bad Erna . Since the last incorporations, the municipality area is 148.95 km², the east-west extension is about 16 km.

Doberlug-Kirchhain lies on the edge of the southern land ridge , an old moraine plateau that is bounded by the Lausitz glacial valley of the Black Elster . The urban area is slightly hilly, the Spitzberg with 116 m is the highest point. The Prießener Mulde, the Dübrichener Sattel and the Werenzhainer Mulde extend from northwest to east with a length of 13 km. This is followed by the Kirchhainer Sattel, through which the Kleiner Elster flows. As the southernmost part, the Hennersdorfer Mulde borders on the Finsterwalder area. The rock layers are divided into the Werenzhainer Formation , mainly consisting of conglomerates , the Kirchhainer Formation with clay slate and coal seams and the Doberluger Formation made of Lydit grauwacke .

Anthracite deposit

There is an anthracite coal deposit on the north-western outskirts of the city . The storage of the layer sequence is flat. It is traversed by faults , mostly flat in the Ore Mountains , which often extend into the overburden and are partly responsible for a hydrologically complex situation in the area . The deposit contains 19 seam layers.

climate

With its humid climate, Doberlug-Kirchhain lies in the cool, temperate climate zone , but a transition to the continental climate is noticeable. A favorable climate in the Middle Ages promoted viticulture.

Neighboring communities

In the north , following clockwise, are the neighboring communities: Fichtwald , town of Sonnewalde , singer town of Finsterwalde , communities of Heideland , Rückersdorf , Schönborn , Tröbitz and Schilda and the towns of Uebigau-Wahrenbrück and Schlieben .

history

Church in Nexdorf
Church in Lugau

Place name

The name Dobrilugk can be traced back to Sorbian origins. The adaptation of Dobrjoług is Dobry Ług or Dobraluh , which means good meadowland . In addition, the interpretation Lug am Dober - Wald ( Luch) am Dober can be found in some representations , whereby Dober is a historical name of the Kleine Elster . Since traces of a Slavic pre-settlement were not found, the Doberlug Monastery, which is committed to solitude, did not adopt a place name , but a field name .

Kirchhain goes back to the name Kyrkhagen and is a German name that refers to the church of a “enclosed” settlement.

Due to the Cistercian monastery Dobrilugk , Dobrilugk initially developed as the impulse-giving town for the surrounding area and large parts of the east of the Elbe. Proof of sovereignty over the city of Lübben and around 40 villages in the 14th century is valid . Since the 18th century, manufacturers of white tanners have been established in Kirchhain , especially for sheep's wool . Thanks to the soft water of the Kleine Elster , fewer plasticizers are said to have been required. Leather production provided a boom in industry and commerce there. In 1912 there were 76 tanneries in the village.

First mentioned in the manuscript of Thietmar von Merseburg : Chronicon Thietmari Merseburgensis . Dobraluh is subsequently marked in white.

Dobrilugk

Coat of arms of Dobrilugk

The first mention of a locality Dobraluh is proven for the year 1005 . The Cistercian monastery Dobrilugk was built here in 1165 (May 1st, 1165 is the date of foundation) under the rule of Margrave Dietrich von Landsberg and Eilenburg , which became very influential after donations and purchases from several surrounding farms and villages. A monastery church was added in 1184; it was consecrated in 1228. In the harsh winter of 1211/1212, Walther von der Vogelweide mentions the monastery as an inhospitable place: "Before I would be squeezed into such need any longer as I am now, I would rather be a monk in Toberluh." This barreness, however, was intentional. The Cistercian statutes had two ideals: loneliness and poverty, which developed differently. The special skills of the Cistercians led to greater production and trade. “As early as the 12th century, the Cistercians no longer limited themselves to self-sufficiency. They also wanted to use the profit opportunities of trading. In return, they took over existing markets and jugs and soon built more. ” The ideal of solitude made it impossible to trade in Dobrilugk. Instead, the market town of Kirchhain (" Oppidum ") was founded a short distance away (2.5 km) . Dobrilugk was raised to town in 1664 in connection with the expansion of the castle.

After its destruction in 1673 and 1674, the monastery church was converted into a court church. The planned expansion of the town and the granting of town charter on May 2, 1664 also fall during this period. The town developed rapidly due to the settlement of numerous craftsmen. However, it then changed and agriculture became the most important source of income. In 1820, at a time when the craft was booming again, a glassworks was built nearby. On November 30, 1937, the place Dobrilugk was renamed Doberlug to blur the Slavic origin of the place name. This affected a number of places in the region, cf. List of renaming of places in Lausitz 1936/37 .

Kirchhain

Kirchhain coat of arms
View of Kirchhain from the now excavated Galgensberg

Bronze Age urn finds on the former Galgensberg - today a lake on Finsterwalder Straße - and the Waldhufe waterworks document the Illyrian settlements as a Lusatian culture from 1500 to 500 BC. Around 500 BC. The Germanic tribes of the Semnones and around 200–400 Burgundians settle there . Around 600 the Sorbs (Wends) immigrate and settle there . Some of them were the Lusizi , who gave the Lausitz its name.

In 1234 Kirchhain was first mentioned in a document as "Kyrkhagen". It was currently owned by Dobrilugk Monastery. An actual granting of city rights (the city apparently had Magdeburg rights ) has not been handed down for Kirchhain, but it must have taken place between 1434 and 1446.

Around 1800, numerous craftsmen lived in this city , especially cloth makers , shoemakers and furriers . In this way she achieved significant economic influence and became one of the richest in the country. At the end of the 19th century the tanning trade experienced an outstanding development, which ultimately made Kirchhain the center of the largest sheep leather production in Germany. Complemented by the settlement of steam sawmills, mills and companies in the metalworking industry, the city gained supraregional importance. The books produced by the local printer were outstanding. With this industrial development came an expansion of the city, u. a. the extension to the Jähdeneck by the local pastor Jähde.

Doberlug-Kirchhain

The origin of the name Doberlug-Kirchhain goes back to the territorial reform carried out in the GDR on July 1, 1950. Due to the management of today's railway line Cottbus - Leipzig as part of the former Halle-Sorau-Gubener Railway between the two districts, a geographical separation remained.

While around 70 white tanners were counted in Kirchhain in 1875 , this craft experienced a significant decline in the 20th century. Between 1950 and 1960 about a third of the tanners had already moved to the Federal Republic of Germany with their patents. The remaining workshops were largely converted to tanning upper leather for the shoe industry. After the skins were not supplied from the Soviet Union and Mongolia and the market disappeared after 1989, the large companies were closed. After that there were only three private tanneries left.

On the market

Since the fall of the Wall , at the latest since the decline of socialist businesses and the onset of rural exodus, the city has tried to build on old roots while taking history into account:

Doberlug and Kirchhain belonged to the district of Luckau from 1817–1952 (until 1947 in the Prussian province of Brandenburg , 1947–1952 in the state of Brandenburg ). 1952–1993 Doberlug-Kirchhain was part of the Finsterwalde district (until 1990 in the GDR - Cottbus district , 1990–1993 again in the state of Brandenburg). Since the district reform in 1993 , the city has been in the Elbe-Elster district.

Incorporations

After the amalgamation of the two core cities Doberlug and Kirchhain on July 1, 1950, Frankena was incorporated in 1999, Buchhain, Dübrichen, Hennersdorf, Nexdorf, Prießen and Werenzhain in 2001 and Arenzhain, Lugau and Trebbus in 2003. Lichtena, previously part of the municipality of Trebbus, has been a separate district since September 27, 2008.

  • St. Marien Monastery Church, Doberlug - belonged to the former Cistercian monastery, the enclosure of which, apart from a few remains, disappeared in the 19th century. It was built since the end of the 12th century and was consecrated in 1228. It has been a Protestant church since the 17th century. It is a three-aisled, continuously vaulted brick basilica with a transept (transept apses lost), choir bay and main apse - the latter is richly structured on the outside with half-columns and cross-arch friezes over slotted niches (structure system in the succession of the Peterskirche on the Petersberg in Erfurt ). The current appearance of the church goes back to a thorough restoration at the beginning of the 20th century. The west gable in neo-renaissance style and the full-surface plastering of the brickwork (meanwhile renewed several times)date from this time. The furnishings include a late Gothic winged altar from the 16th century, baroque inventory with organ and pulpit and choir window with leaded glass. The painting of the choir room by Ernst Fey was painstakingly restored in its original condition from 1905 to 1909 andfurnishedby Karl Weber . The refectory of the Cistercian monks in the former south wing of the former monastery complex and brick wall as the remains of the former monastery and town wall has been preserved. The monastery church is considered to be the oldest preserved sacred building of the Cistercians in eastern Germany.

After 2000 the shell was repaired and in 2007 a new, second tower helmet was installed.
  • Stadtpfarrkirche St. Marien, Kirchhain - construction began around 1280. After several changes, a late Gothic brick basilica with painted wooden barrel vaults and a late Romanesque brick tower with two pointed helmets was built. This makes the church the oldest building in Kirchhain. The furnishings include the altarpiece from 1743 and the pulpit from the 18th century. Since this church had three towers in the meantime, these can be found in the coat of arms. They were replaced in 1590 because of dilapidation.

Coal shaft on the vineyard

In 1947, the sinking of the Kirchhain I shaft (colloquially the shaft ) to the west of the city on the vineyard began. In 1950 a sinking scaffold was erected. The 428.5 meter deep shaft was sunk using the freezing process . After exploring the deposit, mining the coal was deemed unprofitable in the 1960s. The existing facilities were taken over by the NVA and expanded into a garrison . After the takeover by the German Armed Forces , the barracks were renewed and used as the location of the Parachute Battalion 373 until it was closed in 2007. Part of the former barracks site is currently used as an initial reception facility and is a branch of the Central Foreigners Registration Office (ZABH) Eisenhüttenstadt.

traffic

Road traffic

The state roads L 60 lead through the city between Falkenberg / Elster and Finsterwalde , L 70 to Dahme / Mark , L 601bach Finsterwalde and L 701 to Sonnewalde . The closest motorway junction is Großräschen on the A 13 Berlin- Dresden, about 28 km east of the city. State road 701 is also part of the northern route of the Fürstenstrasse of the Wettins .

Rail transport
Oldest part of the city's tower station (postcard from 1905)
Station after the redesign in 2012

The station Doberlug-Kirchhain is located near railroad tracks Berlin-Dresden and Falkenberg / Elster Cottbus . It is served by the following regional train lines , regional express and intercity lines:

From the beginning of May 2020, the station will be served by the reintroduced international long-distance train Vindobona , which runs as Railjet 256/257 between Graz and Berlin.

On December 1, 1871, the Falkenberg / Elster – Cottbus section of the Halle-Sorau-Guben Railway , inaugurated in 1872, was completed. The town's original station building was already then called Dobrilugk-Kirchhain and is now called the Old Station . It was used as a residential building and railway maintenance facility until the end of the 20th century .

The Berlin – Dresden railway line was opened on June 17, 1875, and today's tower station was built at the intersection with the (Leipzig-) Falkenberg / Elster – Cottbus line. In 1890 and 1909, the two lines were expanded to double tracks and electrified from 1980 to 1989. A decentralized traction power converter on the railway bridge in the direction of Frankena supplied sections of both lines with electricity. After 27 years of operation, it was shut down in July 2008 and replaced by a modern converter plant . In the 1980s it was planned to expand the station into a junction with several tracks per route, widened abutments at the crossing bridge are evidence of this. After the political change, however, this plan was not implemented.

Today the Doberlug-Kirchhain station (station number 1240) is a category 4 station . In 2007 it was redesigned to be handicapped accessible.

education

Evangelical high school with the observatory

Doberlug-Kirchhain's oldest school building already housed several types of school. It was inaugurated as a primary school on October 17, 1889 and also served as a military hospital during wartime. Used as the “ Hermann Matern ” secondary school in the GDR , the Gerberstadt grammar school, which was run by the Elbe-Elster district , existed until 2007 . Since then it has been continued under the sponsorship of the Evangelical Church with the name "Evangelisches Gymnasium Doberlug-Kirchhain".

Between 1985 and 1987, a school and public observatory with a three-meter dome diameter and an equatorial south sundial was built on the premises of the grammar school . As one of the most modern astronomical facilities in the state of Brandenburg, it is available to anyone interested with guided tours to visit the stars by prior arrangement.

The Berggrundschule , built in 1951 as the Werner Seelenbinder Oberschule , can be found in the Kirchhain district . It uses one of the four sports halls in the city.
