history

prehistory

Horno was first mentioned in the Meißner diocese articles from the year 1346/1495 as "Horn". The place name describes metaphorically the location of the place, the original Horno was on a spur-like extension of the Lieberoser Heide .

As a result of a decision by the Cottbus District Assembly, Horno was earmarked for devastation for the Jänschwalde open-cast mine from 1977 . The residents then demonstrated against the demolition of Hornos under observation by the Ministry of State Security . The fact that Horno was a village with predominantly Sorbian-speaking inhabitants played a major role at the time.

At the end of 1999 Horno still had 350 inhabitants, in mid-2004 only the couple Werner and Ursula Domain lived in the village. At the same time, a large part of the village was already being dredged. On June 9, 2004, the couple was expropriated and the property was transferred to Vattenfall Europe Mining AG . The couple filed a lawsuit against the expropriation, but reached a settlement with Vattenfall in November 2005 to forestall an impending eviction . Horno Church was blown up on November 29, 2004. By December 2005, the entire village had disappeared.

New Horno

Between 2002 and 2004, 69 private homes, three rental buildings and communal buildings such as a community center and a fire station were built on a vacant piece of land between the core town of Forst and the Eulo district . A village pond was created in the center of the village opposite the church . Most of the residents of the old Horno were relocated to the newly built Horno from 2003. Like the old one , the new village is laid out as a street perch village, the street names were also taken from the old Horno.

The chosen specifications for building law resulted in a harmonious-looking development. The village has its own village church , the altar and tower dome were taken over from the earlier village church. The natural stones of the old church were joined together to form a low churchyard wall. Before that, the artistically processed trunk of the Kaiser Wilhelm oak planted in 1897 is to be found as a memorial site.
