From January 1, 1991, Gribona belonged to the town of Spremberg in the Spree-Neisse district .

location

Gribona was in Niederlausitz, southeast of Drebkau . Surrounding villages were Steinitz and Göhrigk in the north, Wolkenberg in the northeast, Dollan in the east, Töpferschänke in the southeast, Welzow in the southwest and Kausche in the west. Except for Welzow and Steinitz, all of the surrounding villages were also excavated by lignite mining.

history

Gribona was probably founded in the 19th century as a sheep farm in the municipality of Wolkenberg. The place name comes from the Lower Sorbian word grib for "mushroom". Originally there were two properties in Gribona, in 1844 the place had 43 residents who lived in five buildings. Ecclesiastically, Gribona also belonged to Wolkenberg. The predominant language in Gribona was initially Lower Sorbian , but the use of the language fell sharply towards the end of the 19th century. In 1956 Ernst Tschernik counted only three Sorbian-speaking residents in all the villages belonging to the municipality of Wolkenberg.

In 1939 the settlement was renamed to Wolkenberg-Vorwerk as part of the National Socialist Germanization of Sorbian place names . After the Second World War it got its original name back.

On July 25, 1952, Gribona came to the Spremberg district in the GDR district of Cottbus as part of the Wolkenberg community . After the fall of the Wall , Gribona was initially in the Spremberg district in Brandenburg. In 1991, the demolition of the municipality of Wolkenberg began, on January 1, 1991, the outlying areas of Wolkenberg, and with it Gribona, were incorporated into Spremberg . Gribona was ultimately also relocated and then devastated . The exact number of resettled residents is not known. A memorial stone today commemorates the Vorwerk near the former location of Gribona.
