history

Hornow was first mentioned in a document in 1346. The Hornow- Vorwerk residential area was first mentioned in a document in 1810. The place Horno was spelled until around 1890, but a w was added to this spelling to better distinguish it from the place Horno in the district of Guben . Up until the end of the 18th century, Hornow was a place exclusively inhabited by Sorbs .

The first documented owner of Gut Hornow was Nickel von Gersdorf in 1436. Other owners then included the von Zabeltitz family (1526), ​​the von Oertzen family (1685 to 1845), the Baron von Wendt (1846 to 1852), the Graf von Pückler (1855 to 1861) and the Wilkins family (1862 to 1945). The population of the place increased with the estate. In 1708 Hornow had 54 inhabitants aged between twelve and 60, in 1755 there were already 229 inhabitants and in 1914 Hornow had 619 inhabitants.

After the Congress of Vienna Hornow came to the Kingdom of Prussia together with Niederlausitz . On July 25, 1952, the Hornow community was assigned to the newly formed Spremberg district in the Cottbus district . After the fall of the Wall, Hornow was in the Spremberg district in Brandenburg . After the district reform in Brandenburg on December 6, 1993 , Hornow came to the newly formed Spree-Neisse district . On December 31, 2001, Hornow was merged with the municipality of Wadelsdorf to form the new municipality of Hornow-Wadelsdorf . This initially belonged to the Office Hornow / Simmersdorf and from 2003 to the Office Döbern-Land . On January 1, 2016, the Hornow-Wadelsdorf community was dissolved and Hornow became a district of Spremberg .

Hornower Mill

In 1787 a windmill was built on Gut Hornow , which had to be turned by hand in the respective wind direction. From 1923 the mill was operated electrically and therefore in 1930 it was fixed and no longer rotatable on a foundation. In the same year an annex was added to the mill and the blades were dismantled. In 1963 the mill was stopped. Most of the machines in the mill are still there today and can be viewed.

Hornow Castle

Hornow Castle was built as a mansion in 1864 and renovated in 1903. The castle park with a total size of 13 hectares was placed under monument protection in 1981 . In 2007 the castle was renovated again. The village church in Hornow was built in the 13th century . The altar was erected in 1588 . Next to the altar is a plaque on the pioneer Carl Jack , who was baptized in the church and in 1864 in the German-Danish war the heroic died. Next to the village church there is a 700 year old oak, this is the oldest tree in the Spremberg region and was the oldest tree in the former Spremberg district .

The school in Hornow was first mentioned at the beginning of the 19th century and was part of the church until 1908. Until 1862, teaching there was in German and Sorbian / Wendish , and since then only in German. After the school was built in neighboring Bohsdorf in 1894, the majority of the students from Bohsdorf left the Hornower School. In 1934 the school was rebuilt.
