location
Dollan was in Niederlausitz between the towns of Spremberg and Drebkau on the mountain range of the Steinitzer Alps . Surrounding villages were clouds Mountain in the north, Radeweise in the Northeast, Stradow the east, Roitz the southeast, pottery tavern in the South, Welzow in the southwest, Gribona the west and thimble and Steinitz in the northwest.
With the exception of Steinitz and Welzow, all the surrounding villages were sooner or later also excavated.
history
The place Dollan was founded around 1867 as a Vorwerk of the municipality of Wolkenberg. The predominant language in the village was Lower Sorbian , but the use of the Sorbian language declined sharply until the 20th century. In 1956 Ernst Tschernik had only three Sorbian-speaking residents in the entire municipality of Wolkenberg with its districts of Dollan, Gribona and Michholz . In 1939, Dollan was renamed to Wolkenberg expansion as part of the National Socialist Germanization of Sorbian place names , which was reversed in 1945.
In 1973, Dollan was connected to the drinking water network due to a falling groundwater level. In 1988 the residents of Dollan began to move to Spremberg. The resettlement was completed in 1989, there is no official number of resettlers. In the following months Dollan was torn down and the site of the Welzow-Süd opencast mine devastated . The former location of Dollan is being recultivated today .
