history

Gallinchen was first mentioned in a document in 1421, but was settled earlier, which is evidence of broken fragments south of today's local area. The place name is derived from the word golyn and means village in the heath . The place was owned by the governor of Mandelsloh from 1574 to around 1700 . The population of Gallinchen lived mainly from cattle breeding and fishing , especially carp breeding was of great importance. A fishing industry is mentioned as early as 1470 in a loan letter from the Margrave of Brandenburg.

The place was parish after Groß Gaglow and the children were educated according to Saxon school law. Between 1748 and 1825 Gallinchen belonged to the von Pückler family , but Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau had to sell the place due to debts. In the topographical-statistical overview of the administrative district of Frankfurt ad O. from 1844, 231 inhabitants are recorded for the corresponding year. In 1867 Gallinchen had 221 inhabitants. There was a wool spinning mill , a highway cash drawer and a sheep farm . In the years 1857, 1870, 1892 and 1898 parts of the village center burned down. Towards the end of the 19th century, Gut Gallinchen was dissolved and the manor land was parceled out after the operation was no longer profitable.

From the 1930s onwards, Gallinchen's population rose sharply due to its proximity to Cottbus, the convenient transport links and the local industry. On February 15, 1944, Gallinchen was badly damaged in the bombing raids on Cottbus, killing several residents. After the end of the war, Gallinchen was rebuilt. While a large part of the population worked in Cottbus during the GDR era, after the fall of the Wall, new jobs were created in industrial areas in the area around Gallinchen, which caused the population, which had recently declined, to rise again.

Gallinchen has always been part of the Kingdom of Prussia . There the place was in the district of Cottbus and from July 25, 1952 in the newly founded district of Cottbus-Land in the district of Cottbus . After the district reform in Brandenburg on December 6, 1993 , Gallinchen came to the newly formed Spree-Neisse district and together with 17 other communities formed the Neuhausen / Spree office . Despite numerous protests of the inhabitants Gallinchen was on 26 October 2003, the previously independent municipalities also large Gaglow and Kiekebusch to Cottbus incorporated.

For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a population of 375 for Gallinchen in the 1880s, all of whom were Sorbs . According to him, Sorbian (Wendish) was still spoken with all children in Gallinchen. The parish of Groß Gaglow had a Sorbian-speaking pastor until 1882. The language change to German took place in the first half of the 20th century. In 1956 Ernst Tschernik counted a Sorbian-speaking population of only 0.2%.
