history

The village Schmogro was first mentioned in a document in 1371. In 1474 the place name was Smogorow . This name comes from Sorbian and describes a settlement laid out on a peat floor . In 1844 there were 20 buildings in Schmogro, in which 140 people lived. The village belonged to the Senftenberg Rent Office and belonged to Großräschen.

Schmogro was a Sorbian-speaking village for a long time; In the 19th century, however, the proportion of Sorbian-speaking residents fell sharply as a result of industrialization. Arnošt Muka determined a total of 221 inhabitants for his statistics on the Sorbian population in the communities of Niederlausitz in Schmogro, 150 of them Sorbs and 71 Germans, which corresponded to a Sorbian-speaking population of 68%.

After the Congress of Vienna , the previously Saxon Lower Lusatia came to the Kingdom of Prussia . From the new district formation in 1816 Schmogro belonged there to the district of Calau in the administrative district of Frankfurt in the province of Brandenburg . On March 1, 1946 Schmogro was incorporated into Großräschen and renamed Großräschen Ost. On July 25, 1952, the village came to the Senftenberg district in the Cottbus district . After the reunification , Großräschen Ost was initially in the Senftenberg district, where Großräschen and its districts joined the Großräschen office on July 21, 1992 . The district reform in December 1993 brought Großräschen Ost to the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district .
