history

Kahnsdorf was mentioned for the first time in 1503. It has the shape of a street village and was on the medieval trade route from Magdeburg to Silesia. There is evidence that it already belonged to the Lübbenau rule at that time . In 1793 there were 20 farms, a windmill and a sheep farm in Kahnsdorf in addition to the pre-works of the Lübbenau estate. The village was almost completely destroyed by a major fire in 1893 and with it the old rural buildings. Before the demolition by the lignite mining industry, there were a few large farms with the brick construction typical of the second half of the 19th century.

In 1880, as part of his studies , Arnošt Muka found that all the inhabitants of the village understood and spoke the Sorbian language. About 80 years later, the investigations by Ernst Tschernik (1956) showed that only three people in the village still knew the Sorbian language.

After the decision of the coal and energy program of the GDR government to open the Seese-Ost mine , the last inhabitants had to leave Kahnsdorf in 1987. The village was completely dredged and the remaining areas of the community went to Raddusch . The remaining lake Kahnsdorfer See lies north of the original location and south-east is the Slavic castle Raddusch .
