history
First mention
The first mention of Drebkau was conventionally but incorrectly assumed for the year 1280. This was based on a mention in a Welzow document together with Steinitz. As in Welzow, reference was made so far to a copy of a parchment that is no longer legible and on which the year 1280 was read. After intensive research in the state archives of Potsdam and Dresden , Joachim Schneider (Welzow / Dresden) was able to prove in May 2005 that the oldest surviving mention of Drebkau dates back to 1353. The original documents are in the state archives of Brandenburg and Saxony. Nevertheless, the 725th anniversary of the city of Drebkau took place in 2005.
Attack on the railroad in 1903
On May 29, 1903, the passenger train No. 983 derailed at Drebkau station on the Grossenhain – Cottbus line after a drunken carpenter had laid a sleeper across the track. The locomotive and three following cars derailed, with the car directly following the locomotive being completely smashed. One dead, three seriously and five slightly injured were the result.
Administrative history
Drebkau and its current districts of Casel, Domsdorf, Greifenhain, Kausche, Laubst and Siewisch have belonged to the Calau district since 1816 , Leuthen and Schorbus to the Cottbus district and Jehserig to the Spremberg district (all in the Prussian province of Brandenburg ). In 1952 they were incorporated into the Cottbus-Land district (Kausche in the Spremberg district ) in the GDR district of Cottbus . Since 1993 the places have been in the Brandenburg district of Spree-Neisse.
On July 1, 1950, the previously independent community Raakow was incorporated. The former municipality of Kausche was reclassified to Drebkau on September 29, 1996. On December 31, 2001, the following eight communities were incorporated into Drebkau: Casel, Domsdorf, Greifenhain, Jehserig, Laubst, Leuthen, Schorbus and Siewisch. The Drebkau (Niederlausitz) office that existed until then was dissolved. Drebkau became an office-free city.
