geography
Jetscheba is located in the Upper Lusatian heath and pond landscape about 14 kilometers north of Bautzen in the floodplain of the Kleine Spree . To the north, extensive forest areas extend between Jetscheba and the villages of Rauden and Mönau, which are five kilometers away .
In terms of settlement history, the place is a lane village , which was later expanded in an easterly direction and is bordered in the south by the Little Spree. The manor is located in the center of the village. The neighboring towns are Kauppa in the south and Milkel in the west.
history
As early as the Middle Bronze Age, there was a village with wooden houses on today's road to Teicha .
The current place was first mentioned in 1419 as Jetzrebie . The place name is derived from the Sorbian word for "hawk", in modern Upper Sorbian jatřob . In 1441, the place was also referred to as zum Habich . The National Socialists took up this origin in 1938 when they Germanized the Slavic place name to Habichtau . The name change was reversed in 1949.
In the year 1621 a preliminary work of the manor Kauppa in Jetscheba is recorded. Jetscheba has always been a district of Kauppa and was incorporated together with it on April 1, 1936, initially to Commerau and finally to Großdubrau on January 1, 1994 .
Population and language
For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Upper Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a population of 285 for Kauppa and Jetscheba in the 1880s; including 257 Sorbs (90%). Since then, the use of Sorbian in the village has declined sharply.
The predominantly Protestant population has been parish to Klix since at least 1614 .
