Hunting and forester's lodge

The Dobra hunting lodge that can be seen today was built in the second half of the 18th century. It is a single-storey brick building with a half-hip roof . It is believed that it was built under the Saxon Elector Friedrich August II (1696–1763). The forest area called Liebenwerdaer Heide and east of Dobra was once an old hunting ground for the Saxon electors. As early as the middle of the 16th century , this area was surveyed by the Saxon surveyor and surveyor Georg Oeder (1511–1581). The electoral hunting parties mostly lived in Liebenwerda Castle , just a few kilometers from Dobra , where the forester also lived until the 18th century and later in Elsterwerda Castle , which was owned by the Saxon elector from 1727. In addition to Dobra, there were other hunting lodges in the heather in Hohenleipisch and near the Turmberg in the middle of the heath , where there was also an electoral hunting garden .

Modern times

Later walked out of the old hunting lodge forester Dobra out from where care of the Dobraer forest district and was farmed. From 1960, large parts of the area of ​​the old Liebenwerdaer Amtsheide were used as a military training area for the NVA and large forest areas were closed to the population for security reasons and to protect against Western espionage. Therefore, the old hunting lodge in Dobra became the residence and office of a military forester from 1960.

There was also a half-timbered barn on the site , which was built in the middle of the 19th century and which was used by the forester, among other things, to bundle firewood. Over the course of time, a company developed here that manufactured various wooden products such as fruit and vegetable crates, pallets and packaging boxes and, in the 1970s, expanded it to the neighboring property, where a social building and a boiler room were built. After the fall of the Wall , it was taken over by the Federal Forest Administration and the small production company was outsourced, privatized in the following years and soon afterwards liquidated.

The Federal Forestry Office was still located in Dobra until 1994 and in the following years the land of the former electoral hunting lodge was finally privatized.
