Geheege is a district of oberlausitzischen Town Rothenburg / Oberlausitz that at the North Sea and Baltic Sea watershed is located.
geography
The flat street village Geheege is southwest of Rothenburg on the road to Horka .
At Geheege, the Lusatian Neisse , which drains over the Oder into the Baltic Sea, and the White Schöps , which drains into the North Sea via the Schwarzen Schöps, the Spree, the Havel and the Elbe, have come so close that the watershed between them two rivers is only about one kilometer from the banks of the Neisse. About 500 meters to the west of it is the artificially created enclosure "water parts ", where the Biehainer Bruchgraben from the Biehainer Torfstich is divided into two arms. His left arm flows as a Schwarzgraben in a north-westerly direction to the Spree and there flows into the White Schöps; the right arm flows as the Wiegands Canal in a south-easterly direction to Nieder-Neundorf and there flows into the Neisse.
history
The first documentary mention of the place takes place in 1390, when a Hanus de Gehege is mentioned in a Görlitz court book . In the same source, Hannoslesener de Gehege appears in 1392 . The place name is likely to be of German origin, after German settlers came to the originally Sorbian village at this time .
In 1492, Simon Ritter von Gehege was mentioned in a Görlitz council bill, and a manor has been attested since 1544. It was owned by the von Nostitz auf Nieder-Neundorf family and in 1620 passed to the Nostitz branch in Rothenburg.
On October 14, 1824, in the meantime the village belonged to the Prussian-Silesian district of Rothenburg (Ob. Laus.) , Seven houses burned down. In 1854 "a piece of gold wire of high value [found] in Geheege, which probably comes from the time of the fall."
After the First World War, a WWII memorial was erected in front of the school built in 1914. It was a granite obelisk.
On January 1, 1973 Geheege was incorporated into Rothenburg.
