Roitz on a measuring table from the 1930s

Roitz , Lower Sorbian Rajc was a village in the Lower Lausitz , wholly 1977/1978 resettled and later from the lignite mine Welzow-South was dredged. The former district or the renatured mine area is now part of the district of Spremberg ( Spree-Neisse district , Brandenburg).

location

Roitz was about 4 km west of the old town of Spremberg and had with Josephsbrunn a colony north of the village . The community was south of the Lausitz border wall and was originally surrounded by forests and fields. The Kochsa , a stream that flows into the Spree near Cantdorf , originated in Roitz. In earlier centuries, the Zuckerstraße, an important trade route connecting Central Germany with Silesia, passed south of the town.

Roitz memorial stone

Today a memorial stone reminds of the no longer existing place. The boulder with the inscription "Roitz 1350–1976" is located on the high tip of the Pulsberg near the toboggan hill and marks the former village square. The “Josephsbrunner Höhe” is a memorial to Josephsbrunn, set apart from the Roitzer memorial stone. Several paths or streets in this area were named after the municipality or prominent places, such as Roitzer Strasse or Consulhöhe.

history

The first documentary mention, then still as Roycz , later also Raicz and Raiz , goes back to the year 1527. The name is of Sorbian origin ( raj = joy, pleasure, paradise). 1785 about 800 meters north of the town center was the Vorwerk applied Joseph Brunn.

Roitz owned by von Schütz

After the death of the Hungarian-Bohemian King Ludwig II in the Battle of Mohács (1526) and the accession of King Ferdinand (later also Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation), the brothers Siegmund and Georg von Schütz received confirmation of their fiefdom Village Roitz with the knight's seat and Vorwerk, Trattendorf , 6 Hufen in Terpe , 4 Hufen zu Groß Buckow , 45 Groschen in Graustein , a free farm in Spremberg, three gardens and a vineyard in front of Spremberg as well as a meadow under the Proschimer Heide and hereditary freedom To read and cut firewood from the Proschimer Heide, except for timber and construction wood. Ultimately, only Siegmund took the oath of fief, so it can be assumed that he was the actual owner of Roitz and his brother Georg was only one of the tenants. Since it was a revival, it can be assumed that Siegmund was the owner of Roitz a few years before 1527.

Siegmund had three sons named Christoph, Otto and Hans, of whom Hans died early, so that after the death of their father in 1541 only Christoph and Otto took the feudal oath. Christoph and Otto von Schütz bought the Pulsberg manor from their cousin Heinrich von Schütz in 1542 . While Otto took over the newly bought manor Pulsberg, Christoph stayed in Roitz. In 1548 he ordered Trattendorf as personal belongings for his wife Barbara von Reichenbach. The sons of Christoph von Schütz and Barbara von Reichenbach, Hans and Georg, shared the inheritance after their father's death. Hans von Schütz took over Trattendorf and Georg von Schütz took over Roitz. They are named as the owners of the two villages in 1568 when they fought a legal dispute with Marten Wuschatz and the entire Trattendorf community over fishing and logging rights. In 1591 Georg d. Ä. von Schütz auf Roitz still acquire the Pulsberg manor. Pulsberg was sold by Joachim von Schütz, the son of Otto von Schütz above, to Heinrich von Peichwitz in 1588, who then sold it to Georg the Elder in 1591. Ä. resold. In 1610 Georg d. Ä. von Schütz died, and his sons Christoph, Georg d. J. and Siegmund as well as their underage brothers Samuel and Otto received the feudal letter about the fiefdoms Roitz and Pulsberg inherited from their father. In the fraternal division of 1612, Georg received Pulsberg. The other brothers initially shared Roitz. Samuel died before 1628, and Siegmund was able to take over Klein Loitz . Christoph was apparently in financial difficulties and in 1635 had to take out a loan from Matthes Hauffe, Krüger zu Stradow. In 1638 he sold the right to free harvesting of wood in the Proschimer Heide to Adam Leupold zu Spremberg, Reuthen and Teil Graustein. He died in 1641 and left five unequal daughters. Otto d. Ä. von Schütz had died shortly before. He left behind the underage son Otto and the daughter Anna. George d. J. auf Pulsberg tried to get the loan from Roitz in the name of his brother Siegmund auf Klein Loitz and his underage nephew Otto. However, the Oberamt refused on the grounds that fiefdoms were committed.

Otto d. J. von Schütz was finally able to replace the claims of his uncles in 1651 by paying 3,100 thalers and become the owner of Roitz. In 1659 Otto von Schütz carried out a legal dispute with the heirs of Georg von Muschwitz on Wintdorf over 1000 thalers promised marriage money for his wife (presumably an aunt of Otto von Schütz), which was decided by Governor Georg Abraham von Grünberg on Cottbus (1603–1672) had to. In 1662, Erdmann Ludwig von Pfuhl on Stradow, Otto von Schütz on Roitz and Martin Reichenbach on bike because of their respective contributions to the construction of the parish and school buildings. Otto von Schütz died on February 14, 1706 at the age of 75 and was buried in Stradow.

The sons Wolf Siegmund and Nickel Erdmann received the paternal estate on November 25th, 1706. Nickel Erdmann died just a year later, so that Wolf Siegmund became the sole owner of Roitz. In 1708 there were 9 cottagers in Roitz, in 1718 there were 10 cottagers; Roitz had 10 houses (apart from the manor). In 1722 Wolf Siegmund von Schütz had a dispute with Marianne von Loeben on Pulsberg because of the paddock guard. He died on January 2, 1727, leaving behind three underage sons Ferdinand Siegmund, Georg Siegmund and Carl Erdmann. Apparently Roitz initially remained in the joint ownership of the three brothers until Ferdinand Siegmund was able to pay off his brothers in 1745. In 1755 Roitz had 100 consumers . The average harvest (in Dresden bushels ) was 330 bushels of grain, 10½ bushels of grain, 17 bushels of barley, 72 bushels of oats, 15 bushels of peas, 87 bushels of heather (= buckwheat ), 2 bushels of hops and 4 bushels of flax . He took the feudal oath again in 1764. But he must have died soon after, because on September 5, 1788 his son Adolf Siegmund von Schütz took the oath of feud for the Roitz manor. He sold Roitz in 1768 to Christian Joseph von Tietzen and Hennig.

Roitz owned by von Tietzen and Hennig

Christian Joseph von Tietzen and Hennig (1729–1793) was married to Henriette Charlotte, née von Diepow (1760–1806). The couple had five children, three daughters and two sons, including Wilhelm Ferdinand Joseph Tietzen and Hennig, who later became the Prussian general of the cavalry and commander of the 5th Army Corps, who was born in 1787 . Christian Joseph, like his brothers Tobias, Johann Gottfried and Johann Gottlob, was raised to the imperial nobility in 1788. He was also the heir in Josephsbrunn and Laubsdorf . As early as 1768 he had a quarrel with his neighbor Johann Schmidt on Pulsberg about the protection. In 1771 the community of Roitz litigated Christian Joseph von Tietzen and Hennig for backwood and firewood. The Roitz manor was converted from a feudal estate into a hereditary estate between 1782 and 1790. In 1793 Christian Joseph von Tietzen and Hennig died. His second wife married the bailiff Dürr, the owner of Stradow and Wolkenberg. She died on April 4, 1806. In 1808 Wilhelm von Tietzen and Hennig leased the Roitz manor to Premier Lieutenant Anton Wilhelm von Goerschen. In 1810 11 cottagers and 13 cottagers or Büdner lived in Roitz. Possibly he leased Roitz to Heinrich Rudolf von Warnsdorf around 1812, because his son and later owner of the manor Bernhard von Warnsdorf was born in Roitz in 1812. In 1815 Wilhelm von Tietzen and Hennig finally sold the Roitz manor to Christian Erdmann Zeissig.

19th and 20th centuries

Christian Erdmann Zeissig was the son of Matthäus Zeissig, who owned the Göritz manor in 1763, which he had previously managed as a tenant. In 1786 he ceded Göritz to his son Christian Erdmann Zeissig. In 1804 he sold Göritz to the senior government councilor Hans Carl Gottlob von Reinsperg. The topographical-statistical overview of the administrative district of Frankfurth ad O. from 1820 (status: 1818) distinguishes the aristocratic village with Vorwerk with 195 inhabitants and 31 houses, the Roitzer extension (Josephsbrunn) with seven Büdner apartments and 25 inhabitants, the Roitzer sheep farm with one house and three residents, the Roitzer (wind) mill with a house and three residents and the Roitzer brick barn, which was uninhabited.

1829 to 1834 was a woman bailiff white born. Zeissig, certainly a daughter of Christian Erdmann Zeissig, the owner of the manor. During their time of ownership, the regulation of community and estate property and the replacement of services took place. Frau Amtmann Weiß sold Roitz in 1838 for 27,300 thalers to Wilhelm von Meyern-Hohenberg (1773–1848). From him the Roitz manor passed to Mrs. Ernestine Elisabeth Christiane Schober, née Kiesewetter, divorced from Warnsdorf.

The topographical-statistical overview of the government district Frankfurt ad O. from 1844 (status: 1840) already lists Ms. Schober as the owner. She was first married to the later royal Prussian major Heinrich Rudolf von Warnsdorf (1775–1855), who in 1798 had taken over half of the Gersdorf am Queis Mannlehenritterguts (in 1799 he also bought the other half from his brother). The marriage of Ernestine Elisabeth Christiane geb. Kiesewetter and Heinrich Rudolf von Warnsdorf were divorced, and she married the second marriage to the superintendent Johann Gottlieb Schober , who, however, had died in 1848. In 1843 a Schumann zu Roitz innkeeper appears. In 1845, the windmill owner Kossack in Roitz was compensated for the elimination of the compulsory meal on his mill. The windmill was about 500 meters northeast of the town center. According to Berghaus, Gut Roitz with Josephsbrunn in 1853 had a total size of 1241 acres, 108 square rods , of which 418 acres were 15 square rods arable, 23 acres 93 square rods were meadows, and 506 acres and one square rod were forest land. The estimate was 500 guilders. Ernestine Elisabeth Christiane Schober died in 1856.

From 1857 to 1861 her son Bernhard von Warnsdorff (* 1812 in Roitz) was the owner of the Roitz manor from her first marriage. He had been the steward on Roitz before. In 1845 he was elected fire and road police commissarius of the 3rd district of the Spremberg district. He moved away from Roitz in 1861 and sold the estate to Friedrich August Richter.

From 1861 to 1879 Roitz belonged to Friedrich August Richter (1815–1882). He was married to Auguste Belten, daughter of Johann Christian Belten on Tornitz and Johanna Friedrike Krüger. Through this marriage he also came into possession of the Tornitz manor. In 1862 he was elected fire and road police commissarius of the 3rd district of the Spremberg district, instead of the spoiled von Warnsdorf. In 1877 a burial place ( churchyard : Mes table sheet no. 4451) was created north of the town center and north of the Josephsbrunn suburb on the boundary with Stradow. In 1879 the estate had a total size of 301.33 hectares, of which 140.64 hectares were arable, 28.44 hectares of meadows, 12.70 hectares of pastures, 115.95 hectares of forest and 3.65 hectares of water. The property tax net income was set at 2,359.47 marks. In 1879 Friedrich August Richter sold the Roitz estate to Robert Paul Blütchen.

In 1884 Paul Blütchen sold the Roitz estate to Georg Karl Dietrich Wilkens. Paul Blütchen then leased the Muskau domain (until 1890). From 1888 to 1890, a reindeer Meißner is said to have followed as owner of the Roitz estate.

In 1890, the agricultural scientist Prof. Karl Freytag from Halle and his son Robert Freytag acquired the Roitz estate. From 1892 Robert Freytag was the sole owner of the estate. In 1902 the first shop was opened in the village. Robert Freytag was not only a landowner, but also head of an agricultural school on his estate. In 1913 there was an inn and a forge in the village. There was also a warrior club and a cycling club. Robert Freytag died on November 5, 1914 in Cottbus of war injuries sustained on the Eastern Front. With that came the end of the agricultural school.

In 1921 the Roitz manor belonged to Mrs. Anna Freytag geb. Kühn, the widow of Robert Freytag. It was leased to a Wolbrich. Administrator of the estate was Count Ferdinand Nikolaus Karl Robert von Luckner (married since August 10, 1913 to Alice Auguste Luise Charlotte Freytag). In addition, there was an inspector who was on duty. The estate had a total size of 331.3 hectares (stated 333.2 hectares), of which 175 hectares were arable, 47 hectares were meadows, 7 hectares were pastures, 100 hectares of forest, 2 hectares of courtyard / paths and 0.3 hectares of water. The animal population amounted to 12 horses, including 2 brood mares, 28 head of cattle, including 25 cows, a stud bull and two draft oxen, 16 pigs, including four breeding sows, and 86 sheep including 76 ewes. The company had its own electrical system and three motorized plows. A Karakul tribe herd is noted as a special feature.

In 1923 the ownership structure had not changed. The Roitz estate was still owned by widow Anny Freytag, b. Bold. Under the special features it is noted that there was a motor driving school. In addition, the oldest Karakul sheep breeding in Germany is particularly emphasized.The total size in this work is given as 320 hectares, of which 200 hectares are arable, 40 hectares of meadows, 6 hectares of pastures, 70 hectares of logging, 4 hectares of unland and water, 8 horses, 34 cattle of which 20 cows, 80 sheep and 30 pigs. 100 hectares of arable land were leased individually. From 1930 there was also a post office in Roitz.

In 1929 the Neumärkische Ritterschaftsdirektion Frankfurt a. O. took over the property because of overindebtedness. The debt had run up to 150,000 marks. The knighthood management set Robert Meder as administrator. Niekammer's agricultural goods address book for the province of Brandenburg states a total size of 320 hectares, of which 200 hectares were arable, 40 hectares were meadows, 6 hectares were pastures, 70 hectares of wood, 3 hectares of land and 1 hectare of water. The property tax net income was set at 2360 marks. 8 horses, 34 cattle, of which 20 cows, 80 sheep and 30 pigs are named. In 1929 Gut Roitz was sold to Otto Sell for 160,000 marks. In 1938 Otto Sell sold the estate to Hans Hellmuth Kiepert.

With the land reform of 1946, the property was expropriated. Part of the estate was distributed to smallholders. The estate also received parts of the Stradower Flur so that the estate again reached a size of 230 hectares. From 1945 onwards it was initially run by the Brandenburg State Administration of Goods. In 1949 the estate was converted into a national estate , and the Groß Düben estate was later taken over. 1975 followed the takeover of the vegetable combine Trattendorf, and together with the LPG Proschim the cooperative plant production department Schwarze Pump was founded.

In 1958 the first LPG type I Dr. Erani founded with five companies. In 1960 the LPG "Lindengrün" was founded, which included all farms in Roitz, a total of 52 members with 120 hectares of agricultural land.

In 1959 the road to Spremberg was paved. In 1976 the LPG Lindengrün was dissolved. The last village festival took place on July 3, 1977. In 1977, 209 residents were officially relocated from Roitz and 100 residents from Josephsbrunn.

In 1998, the former residents founded the Roitzer Heimatverein, which hosted the annual stone festival on the memorial stone and the Roitzer fair in Komptendorf. The members took care of the preservation of the memorial stone and the Roitzer community grave at the forest cemetery in Spremberg.

Communal history

In contrast to the neighboring villages of Jessen , Stradow and Wolkenberg , which at that time belonged to the Mark Brandenburg as part of the Cottbus dominion , Roitz was in the Saxon part of Lower Lusatia, which had come to Saxony in 1635. Roitz belonged to the Spremberg district of the Saxon Lower Lusatia. Only in 1815, in the course of the Congress of Vienna , Roitz became Prussian and incorporated into the newly created Spremberg-Hoyerswerda district, which belonged to the Frankfurt / Oder administrative district of the Brandenburg province . In 1825 this district was dissolved again and a new Spremberg district was created. In the 19th century, in addition to the municipality or the municipality, there was also the manor district, which was only united in 1928 to form the rural municipality of Roitz. In the course of a district reform in Prussia from 1872 to 1874, administrative districts were created. Parish and manor district Roitz including Josephsbrunn were assigned to district no. 8 Stradow of the Spremberg district assigned. The Royal District Administrator a. D. and manor owner Ernst Friedrich August Burscher von Saher elected to Weißenstein on Straussdorf . His deputy was the district deputy and manor owner Holm von Diepow auf Göhrigk . In the course of resettlement, the community was incorporated into Spremberg on May 1, 1978. The devastation began shortly thereafter.

School history

Roitz's children went to school in Stradow from 1822. It is not known whether they were previously taught in the village. The school house in Stradow was the sexton's house in which the sexton taught the children in his room. In 1835 compulsory schooling was introduced. In 1846 a new school building had to be built in Stradow because the old sexton's house and school building were in urgent need of renovation. At least until 1872, two classes were still taught in Sorbian.

In 1845, Baron Alexander Hermann von Patow founded an agricultural school in Gliechow and made his estate and manor house available for it. In a three-year course at school, young students should be enabled to run a farm themselves, or to run farms as administrators and inspectors. The school received a grant of 800 thalers from the Frankfurt ad O. district and was initially limited to 9 years. Only four students were accepted annually. Due to the great success of the school, the time limit was extended several times. In 1872 Baron von Patow resigned for reasons of age. The school was moved to Schöllnitz in 1876 . In 1900 it was finally moved to Roitz. It was directed by Robert Freytag and existed until 1914. In this educational institution in the province of Brandenburg, three teachers taught students in the theory and practice of agriculture. One course lasted 2 years. In 1902 20 students were accepted. The school fee was 40 marks a year. The school received an annual grant of 2,400 marks from the provincial administration. With the outbreak of the First World War, the school was closed. Robert Freytag was drafted into military service and suffered a serious wound as early as 1914, from which he died in November 1914.

In 1946 an agricultural school was set up again for a short time on the estate. In 1949 the previous estate became the people's own estate. School operations were stopped again. In 1951 an agricultural branch of the Spremberg vocational school was set up on the estate, where theoretical lessons were given. The former manor house of the estate, also known to the Roitzers as the castle, was converted into a dormitory for apprentices in 1955/56, in which 70 to 80 apprentices could now be accommodated as boarding school. The branch of the Spremberg vocational school has now trained apprentices in three years of training in agriculture. The branch of the Spremberg vocational school existed until 1971.

Train and bus connections

In 1907 Roitz was connected to the newly built Proschim-Haidemühl-Spremberg railway , which served the place with up to six pairs of trains a day until 1947. After they were discontinued, the Spremberger Stadtbahn continued to run until bus services were established at the end of the 1950s.

Lignite mining

From 1891 onwards, when the Consul pit was opened, mining was carried out in the municipality, and lignite from the 1st Lusatian seam was mined underground . The operator of the mine was Niederlausitzer Kohlenwerke AG. The dismantling was initially carried out in the "old facility" until 1906, then in the "new facility". However, this was in the area of ​​the neighboring municipality of Pulsberg, although from 1916 the mine field partially extended back to the Roitzer area. The coal was brought to Spremberg via the coal railway . The mine was closed on January 9, 1930 due to exhaustion of the coal deposits. Today only a pond can be seen in the area of ​​the pit.

The disappearance of the Sorbian language

The place was in the Sorbian settlement area . However, the proportion of Sorbian-speaking residents decreased over time. In 1850 256 of the 271 inhabitants were still Sorbian-speaking (= 94%), in 1867 there were still 216 inhabitants out of a total of 288 inhabitants (= 74.5%). In a study by Arnošt Muka , 178 German and 175 Sorbian residents were named for 1884 , the latter also partly understood as German. With this population distribution, Roitz differed from the places in the vicinity, which had a significantly higher proportion of Sorbian-speaking residents. Ernst Tschernik had 321 inhabitants in 1956, one of whom still had a knowledge of Sorbian.
