history

The Grabo desert north of Beiersdorf on a map by Peter Schenk from 1753 .

The location, which fell desolate in the 14th century, is said to be northwest of Neumühl on the left side of the Black Elster. The Bad Liebenwerda local researcher M. Karl Fitzkow suspected in an article in the Bad Liebenwerda local calendar from 1963 that the location was an area north of the former route from Neumühl to Beiersdorf. Your field mark stretched on both sides of the county road 6217 from the Uebigau land border to the land border of the likewise desolate village of Redern between Wahrenbrück and Zinsdorf.

The Slavic foundation was first mentioned in 1299 in a conciliation document between Otto von Ileburg and the Dobrilugk monastery . It is also mentioned in a document in 1300 in which the Dobrilugk monastery granted Otto freedom to grind in two Wahrenbrück mills for the places Wöllersdorf, Marxdorf , Bönitz , Beiersdorf , Zinsdorf , Grabow, Nexdorf , Schilda , Wildgrube , Beutersitz , Rothstein , Winkel and Wahrenbrück bought from Ileburg. In 1302 it appears again in an exchange certificate between Otto von Ileburg and the parish church of Langennaundorf . Otto von Ileburg received the village Grabo with the school administration , fishing and all accessories.

Grabo must have fallen desolate some time later, because in 1398 the place was already described as a desolation in a deed. The Ileburger vassals Hansen and his cousin Henry of Welte wit were in this with interest the village, the new mills (Neumühl) as well as in that zone deserted villages invested Grabo and Rederns. Parts of the Graboer Feldmark went to Uebigau , Wahrenbrück, Beiersdorf, Zinsdorf and Neumühl.

In maps of the German Empire from 1902–1948 there are references to the desert, because there the name "Mark Grabo" appears south of the Leipzig-Cottbus railway line and west of the K6217 road.

legend

Nothing is known about the reasons why Grabo ultimately fell desolate. In the chronicle of the town of Liebenwerda published in 1837, the author Carl von Lichtenberg described a feud from the years between 1058 and 1072. In the course of the conflict that broke out between the Brehna counts and the unspecified Heyderittern because of the election of abbot in the Dobrilugk monastery , the village of Grabo , the waiting Lausitz and at Zeischa located Harigsburg have been destroyed. The defeated Heyderitter were ultimately punished and robbed of their possessions. In addition, the captured leader of the knights Aribo von der Harigsburg was sentenced to starvation.

Since, among other things, the Cistercian Abbey Dobrilugk was only founded between 1165 and 1184 and other dates of the work could later be refuted, Lichtenberg's information without clear sources is viewed as uncertain from today's perspective.

In her historical novel “Aribo: Ritter der Harigfeste”, published in 2009, the writer Nora Günther made the traditional conflict the focus of the story, which is based on historical facts, regional locations and traditions.
