Grießen , in Lower Sorbian Grěšna , is a district of the municipality Jänschwalde in the Spree-Neisse district in Brandenburg . The place is a street village .
location
Grießen is located in Niederlausitz on the terminal moraines of the Hornoer Platte on the edge of the Neißeaue southwest of Guben and on the eastern edge of the Jänschwalde opencast mine .
history
The earliest documented mention dates from 1451. The place name is of Middle High German origin and refers to sandy soil or fine gravel. Grießen was one of the three arid villages on the plateau between Guben and Forst. The Niederlausitz local historian Hermann Standke described it in his hikes through Niederlausitz as follows: “The farming village of Grießen, poor in water - the whole village has only 3 wells - and rich in stones, has an old remarkable church.” Arnošt Muka described it in 1876 still as a predominantly Sorbian place.
In 1904 the place was connected to the Guben – Forst railway line . Railway operations were stopped in 1982. In 1900 the residents founded a volunteer fire brigade "Spritzenverband Taubendorf Grießen".
On October 26, 2003, Grießen was incorporated into Jänschwalde.
economy
The hydroelectric power station built in 1927-29 was destroyed in 1945 and rebuilt after the end of the Second World War . In 1967 it was shut down and dismantled. Electricity has been generated again at the same location since 1993.
Some land and houses were used to build a sheet pile wall for the Jänschwalde opencast mine. However, the houses were not demolished. They could be inhabited again after the sealing wall was built.
church
The fortified church, which is under monument protection, dates from the 15th century. It was built entirely from field stones . The defense tower has a protruding bell storey with a four-sided point. Grießen was originally a branch church of Horno .
