Kahren , in Lower Sorbian Kórjeń , is a district of Cottbus . Before the incorporation in 1993, it was an independent village. The first documentary mention goes back over 750 years. About 1300 inhabitants live in Kahren. Despite the incorporation and proximity to the city of Cottbus, Kahren has retained its village character. Bundesstraße 168 (former section of the B115 ) runs about 1 kilometer north of Kahren . Kahren includes the Nutzberg / Nuzberk residential areas , located in the north by the Branitz outdoor park, and Karlshof / Wólšyna in the west along the L50 to Kiekebusch.
history
Kahren has been settled continuously since the Stone Age. This is confirmed by archaeological finds dating back more than 10,000 years. The first mention of the place Kahren took place in 1300.
In 1463 the elector Johann von Brandenburg enfeoffed the von Loeben family with the village of Kahren. Until the end of the 16th century, Kahren was owned by this family, albeit initially divided among cousins. In 1586, Nickel von Loeben became the sole owner. He was married to Elisabeth von Pannwitz from the Kathlow family. Ten years later he exchanged one half with Baltzer von Pannwitz for his village Jehserig near Drebkau. He sold the remainder to Casper von Nadelwitz in 1591. But just three years later, Baltzer von Pannwitz was named as the sole owner of Kahren. He was married to Ursula von Loeben, the daughter of Captain zu Peitz , Melchior v. Loeben.
During the Thirty Years War , large parts of Kahren were devastated by the Wallenstein troops. At that time the hereditary lord was Christian d. Ä. von Pannwitz (1616–1679), who had Hedwig Sophie von Wulffen's wife. The Prussian chief hunter and governor Christian the Elder inherited from their thirteen children. J. (1655–1703) took over the estates and married Anna von Lüderitz (1664–1718). In the first years of the 18th century the old manor house was rebuilt, the rectory was renewed and the church was expanded. A baptismal bowl with the Pannwitz-Lüderitz alliance coat of arms still commemorates this couple .

With considerable financial support from the manor and the Prussian king, the then Kahren pastor Johann Gottlieb Fabricius translated Luther's Small Catechism and the New Testament into Wendish ( Sorbian ). The first editions in this language were produced in the printing house built in 1706 in the sexton's house.
The second son Ludwig Ernst (1686–1759) inherited Sergen, Kahren and Koppatz, who were now an integral part of Kahren. He had the manor house completely rebuilt and in 1716 married Catharina Amalie Magirus. Her only son Christian died at the age of 21 as a student in Kahren. As a widow, his mother bequeathed the Kahren and Koppatz estates to her own relatives, who, however, had the estates auctioned in 1766. They were acquired by Captain Friedrich Carl Leopold von Kleist (1731–1799), an uncle of the poet Heinrich von Kleist , whose mother Ulrike, in turn, was born von Pannwitz from Müschen am Spreewald. During the lifetime of Carl Leopold von Kleist, a brickworks was built in Kahren in 1779 and a new settlement with four Huguenot families, called Karlshof, in 1782 . In 1804 his second wife, Regine Sophie Wilhelmine von Kleist, sold the goods as a widow to Maximilian von Oertzen from Bagenz , who originally came from Mecklenburg. His second son Maximilian d. J. became the next man on Kahren and Koppatz and after him his son Arthur.
In 1850, the Kahrener Gut together with Koppatz, which was the second largest in the Cottbus district after Gut Eichow, with its Vorwerke Karlshof and Nutzberg comprised 3276 acres and 1600 acres of forest. Almost all of the residents spoke Sorbian at that time.
The widow of Arthur von Oetzen, a née Annunciata Countess von und zu Westerholt and Gysenberg, is named as the owner in 1851. After several changes of ownership, the Imperial Count Heinrich von Pückler (Branitz) bought Kahren in 1878 and bequeathed it to the later District President August Graf von Pückler .
Due to the global economic crisis, 329 hectares of the original 689 hectares of the estate were sold in 1932. In the same year Kahren had a state visit when King Fu'ad I of Egypt was visiting the Pücklers in Branitz and they visited the village together after going to church in Kahren. Until the expropriation in 1945, the rest of the property remained in the possession of the Count von Pückler family.
The place was predominantly Sorbian / Wendish until the 20th century . An investigation commissioned by the Lübben Consistory showed that of 202 resident families only 10 used the German language. Arnošt Muka described the village after his visit in 1880 as "purely Sorbian".
On December 6, 1993, Kahren was incorporated into the independent city of Cottbus.
Johanneskirche zu Kahren

One of the sights is the Johanneskirche zu Kahren . In 1346 it belonged to the archpriest's chair in Cottbus as an important parish church and was consecrated to John the Baptist . Like many churches in Brandenburg, it was also badly destroyed in the Second World War. Significant restoration work only began after the fall of the Wall .
The current shape is a late Gothic building made of roughly joined field and turf stone (1500). The construction of the tower can possibly be dated earlier.
In 1707 and during the 19th century the church was enlarged. The church has a flat roof and a gallery .
The wooden altarpiece from the 16th century shows depictions of the sacrifice of Isaac , the Lord's Supper and the adoration of the shepherds. The altar crucifix was made in 1791. Restoration work on the altar began in the early 1990s.
The pulpit from 1706 is a carving, probably by the Muskau master thirty marks . The pulpit decoration fields show the Salvator , the four evangelists and the donor coats of arms.
The Johannis bowl with the head from the 15th century commemorates the consecration of the church .
Furthermore, the church is equipped with a floating baptismal angel from the 18th century. This includes a baptismal dish from 1704 with the alliance coat of arms of Pannwitz / von Lüderitz .
Johann Gottlieb Fabricius
In 1706 Johann Gottlieb Fabricius , who was the village pastor in Kahren at the time, translated the Small Catechism from German into Wendish . In 1709 the translation of the New Testament followed .
societies
The three clubs in the village with the largest number of members are the Bürgererverein Kahren eV, the sports club Kahrener SV 03 and the volunteer fire brigade . In addition, Kahren has a fishing club and a youth group called K-Town as well as a folk choir .
