history

The Angerdorf Drasdo is presumably of Slavic origin and was first mentioned in 1335 in a sales document of the Lords of Ileburg as "Drozedowe". In this document, a border adjustment between the place and the neighboring Schilda was described as possible. Together with Wiederau, the village owned an annually changing Dingstuhl , to which the village of Langennaundorf also belonged.

In 1589, Drasdo did not have its own dinging chair, but it did have an inheritance court as a man-less estate and, as a direct administrative village, belonged to the Electoral Saxon Liebenwerda office . Like most other places in the area, Drasdo was badly damaged in the Thirty Years War . Between 1529 and 1763 there were 19 to 20 hüfners and two gardeners in the village . In 1835 the village had 32 houses with 206 inhabitants. 62 horses, 239 cattle, 2 goats and 85 pigs were counted.

Half of the village was destroyed in a devastating fire in 1874. Some two-story large farmhouses with clay framework survived this fire and have been preserved to the present day.

The place belonged from 1879 to the district court district Herzberg , although it was in the district Liebenwerda . Until 1890 a stick dam led to Drasdo. In 1890 the village road was paved and the connecting road to Langennaundorf was built. In the same year the building of the restaurant "Zur Friedenseiche", which characterizes the townscape, was given a hall extension. A short time later a school was built in Drasdo in 1894.

Until the end of the 1960s there was a village pond on the village green, which the Drasdoers called "Axpool". After the founding of the BSG “Traktor” Drasdo on September 13, 1968, the pond was filled and a duck and goose fattening facility used by Drasdoer LPG to the north was demolished. In its place, a bowling alley was built, which was inaugurated on October 4, 1969 as part of a festive event for the 20th anniversary of the GDR . A sports field was built in the immediate vicinity.

On December 31, 2001, the cities of Wahrenbrück and Uebigau were merged with the communities of Drasdo, Bahnsdorf , Neudeck and Wiederau and renamed Uebigau-Wahrenbrück.

Brick factory

About 1.25 kilometers north of the locality of the village is the Drasdoer district "Ziegelei" on the boundary to Nexdorf . Every detectable piece of land here once produced bricks . The production of bricks began in the 19th century due to the rich clay deposits located here. The goods produced were brought to the surrounding areas on horse-drawn vehicles.

When the Falkenberg sand-lime brick factory was founded in 1922 , the situation of the Drasdo brickworks deteriorated noticeably, as the building owners in the area preferred the cheaper sand-lime bricks . The local companies became more and more unprofitable and lost. As a result, the brick trade in Drasdo ceased in 1934. After the end of the Second World War in 1945, the Dradoer brick production facilities were dismantled.

Culture and sights

Drasdoer post mill
Listed farm in Dorfstrasse 14
War memorial

In the middle of the Drasdoer Dorfanger there is a field stone church , which is surrounded by a cemetery and built in the 15th century and is a listed building. The slightly elevated church was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War and was therefore completely renovated between 1682 and 1695. The tower was renewed in 1895. Inside there is an organ built by Carl Friedrich W. Loewe from Delitzsch in 1842 , a font from 1594 and a medieval church chest that was carved from an oak trunk and ironed. → Main article: Drasdo village church

There is also a post mill in the village . Their original location was the village of Beyern near Falkenberg . In 1723 it was moved from there to Drasdo, where it was initially part of the bar. The grinding operation of the mill, which could last also be operated with diesel, was stopped in 1969. Until 1961 the post mill could still be powered by wind. There are no longer any wings. → Main article: Drasdo post mill

A historical, elaborately designed signpost with directional arrows from the last third of the 19th century is also under monument protection. It is a square sandstone pillar with a protruding cover plate with triangular gables. It is located on the oval village green of the village.

On the property at Dorfstrasse 14, the former home of a large farmer and a Torstallspeicher are under monument protection. The two-story clay frame building of the farmhouse was built in the second half of the 18th century. With the warehouse, which was also built in this way, this homestead is characteristic of the town.

Near the Drasdo village church there is a war memorial in honor of the fallen villagers of the two world wars.
