Drochow ( Lower Sorbian Drochow ) is a hamlet in the town Schipkau in southern Brandenburg Oberspreewald-Lausitz . Local mayor is Joachim Kniep.

geography

Drochow is located in Niederlausitz on Drochower See, a remaining open pit . The place is the northern part of the community Schipkau, south is the community part Meuro and west Annahütte . In the north-west Drochow borders on the municipality of Sallgast in the Elbe-Elster district and in the north and north-east on the districts of Saalhausen and Freienhufen in the town of Großräschen .

history

Like the neighboring towns of Särchen ( Annahütte ) and Dobristroh ( Freienhufen ), Drochow belonged to the Cistercian monastery Dobrilugk (today Doberlug-Kirchhain). In 1419, the monastery acquired Drochow as the eastern edge of its possessions, and the purchase deed is also the first mention of Drochow in a document. The place name is derived from a Sorbian personal name "Droch". In 1541, the Saxon elector Johann Friedrich had the Dobrilugk monastery occupied and secularized during the Reformation . Drochow came into Saxon possession as part of the margravate Niederlausitz , which was finally transferred to Electoral Saxony in the Peace of Prague in 1635. Drochow belonged to the Luckau district until 1835 .

A fiefdom developed in the village, which remained as a manor until 1945. With the land reform after 1945, the manor was divided among new farmers. In 1952 the first agricultural production cooperative (LPG) in the Senftenberg district was formed from the estate . The LPG specialized in pig breeding and worked until it was dissolved in 1989.

The “Waidmannsheil” open-cast mine operated by Niederlausitzer Kohlenwerke AG and belonging to Ignaz Petschek's group of companies was operated by Drochow in the 1930s and 1940s. In 1944 the mine came to a standstill due to the Second World War . It drowned and was not put back into operation. It was retained as a remaining hole and was given the official name "Restloch 6". Later the name "Drochower See" caught on. Again and again there were numerous embankments breaking off at the remaining hole, which posed a danger to the residents. As a result, it was renovated from 1995.

Drochow was to be devastated by the Klettwitz-Nord opencast mine, which was opened in 1983 . Due to the change in energy policy and the abandonment of lignite , the work of the open-cast mine was stopped in 1990, so that the place was ultimately not devastated. The former opencast mine was flooded between 2001 and 2014, creating the Bergheider See . The plans to devastate the site meant that little was invested in maintaining and improving the existing building fabric. A change was not made until the Klettwitz-Nord opencast mine was stopped.

On July 31, 1992, the communities of Annahütte , Drochow, Hörlitz , Schipkau , Meuro and Klettwitz merged to form the office of Schipkau . On December 31, 2001, Drochow merged with the other municipalities to form the new (large) municipality of Schipkau. The office Schipkau were dissolved at the same time.

In the middle of the 19th century, Sorbian was still spoken by the older population in Drochow . When Arnošt Muka visited the place in the 1880s, he could no longer find any residents with Sorbian language skills.

On January 1, 1973, was devastated place Sauo and on June 1, incorporated in 1974 Meuro in Drochow. Meuro's spin-off from Drochow followed on May 6, 1990.
