Dominion Cottbus

Cottbus Castle

The rulership of Cottbus was a rulership in Niederlausitz until 1815.

history

In 1156 a Heinricus castellanus de Chotibuz ( Heinrich, castle administrator of Cottbus ) was mentioned as the first administrator known by name in Cottbus . In 1199, Thymo de Codebuz appeared as a witness in a document. In the centuries that followed, the lords of Cottbus ruled as feudal takers from the Wettins , Ascanians , Wittelsbachers and Luxembourgers.

Since 1445, Elector Friedrich II of Brandenburg acquired the rule of Cottbus from the House of Hohenzollern and officially received it in 1462 after the Peace of Guben under his rule. With the Vogtei Peitz , the area now formed an exclave within the Bohemian Lower Lusatia. In 1652, after the Thirty Years' War, there were 10,279 people living in Cottbus and Peitz (excluding the towns of Cottbus and Peitz), 454 of the 2,767 farms were desolate.

In 1807, after the Peace of Tilsit , the area became part of the Kingdom of Saxony , and in 1813 Prussian troops occupied the land that had belonged again to Prussia since 1815 .

In 1816 the district of Cottbus in the province of Brandenburg was formed from him , which also included surrounding places in Lower Lusatia.
