history

Gorden was first mentioned in 1297 in a document from the Dobrilugk monastery under the name Gordan . In 1394 the place was called "Jordan". In 1529 there were 17 hofners and 3 gardeners living here.

Gorden also suffered badly during the Thirty Years' War . In 1641 troops of the Swedish general Wrangel robbed all the cattle in the village. In 1672, after the war, 15 hofners, 7 gardeners and 5 cottagers lived here.

In 1733 the whole of Gorden burned down in a major fire. From 1740 to 1744, Johannes Müller dug the Gohra-Elsterwerda raft ditch. The ditch, which was used to supply wood in the Dresden and Meißen area, only carried water during the rafting period and was supplied with it via three feeders from ponds located between Sorno and Gohra . The first massive church in Gorden was built in 1749 and in 1766 the place got its own school.

After Gorden fell from the Kingdom of Saxony to the Merseburg administrative district of the Prussian province of Saxony as a result of the regulations of the Congress of Vienna in 1815 , the village belonging to the Liebenwerda district had 58 houses with 411 inhabitants in 1835. There were 43 horses, 300 cattle, 262 sheep, 6 goats and 84 pigs. In 1874 a registry office was set up in the village. The village received street lighting with seven lamps in 1929.

A harvest kindergarten was set up in Gorden in 1954 and an agricultural production cooperative (LPG) type I with 3 farmers was founded in 1957 . A year later a self-service grocery store opened in the village, which was the first of its kind in what was then the Bad Liebenwerda district and in the entire Cottbus district . In 1963 the Gorden water pipeline was built.

The Grünewalder Lauch recreation area to the southeast was opened in 1977. Five years later, the Gorden school closed in 1982. From then on, the local children went to a newly opened school in neighboring Staupitz.

After Gorden 1992 which, after the reunification newly created Office Plessa was assigned, was on 31 December 2001 from the voluntary merger of the formerly independent municipalities Gorden and Staupitz the community Gorden-Staupitz .

Culture and sights

  • The Gorden village church, built in 1749, the rectory at Hauptstrasse 6, a baroque tombstone in the Gorden cemetery and the bronze monument "Mother and Child" erected in 1926 by Oswald Haberland are all on Brandenburg's list of monuments.
  • In the local area of ​​Gorden there is an atonement cross. A legend tells of a submerged city not far from the “Loben”, a moorland in the south between Gorden and Hohenleipisch. There is also said to have been a castle where a relentless knight lived who plagued the peasants who were subject to him with high flax taxes. The women of Gorden were so outraged that they beat him to death with strands of flax. As a punishment, they had to have an atonement cross placed, which has been preserved to the present day.
  • The Grünewalder Lauch recreational area is located about three kilometers southeast of the village. There is a 100-hectare bathing lake here, which was created when a former open-cast mine was flooded. At the lake there is a campsite with over 200 parking spaces, restaurants and a boat rental.
