Göbeln , Kobjelń in Upper Sorbian ^{? / i} , is a place in the east of the Bautzen district in Saxony and has been part of the Großdubrau community since 1994 . The place lies in the Upper Lusatia and belongs to the settlement area of the Sorbs .

geography

Göbeln is located in the Upper Lusatian heath and pond landscape about 14 kilometers northeast of Bautzen in the floodplain of the Kleine Spree . While that and the further southern area of ​​Göbeln are used for agriculture, there are extensive forest and heath areas to the north ("Göbelner Heide").

In terms of settlement history, the place is a lane village with a small estate at the southern end. The Kleine Spree crosses Göbeln across the main street. The neighboring towns are Halbendorf in the northeast, Spreewiese in the southeast, Särchen in the southwest and Commerau in the northwest.

history

The place was first mentioned in 1419 as Kobelen . However, there was already a settlement here in the younger Bronze Age . A knight's seat is recorded as early as 1449, where the manor was in the village until the 19th century. Since 1768 it was united with the manor in Klix.

Until April 1, 1936 Göbeln was an independent rural community; then it was first incorporated into Commerau and on January 1, 1994 together with this to Großdubrau.

Population and language

In the course of the 19th century the population rose slowly from less than 100 to around 130 in 1925.

For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Upper Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a population of 133 in the 1880s; including 125 Sorbs (94%). Since then, the use of the language in the town has declined.

The predominantly Protestant population has been parish to Klix since at least 1614 .
