geography

Kauppa is located in the Upper Lusatian heath and pond landscape about 14 kilometers north of Bautzen in the floodplain of the Kleine Spree . While it is used for agriculture, there are extensive forests to the south and especially north of it.

In terms of settlement history, Kauppa is a lane village with an estate in the eastern part. The settlement is bounded in the east by the Kleine Spree and is surrounded by ponds in three directions. The neighboring towns are Jetscheba in the north and Commerau in the east.

history

The area around Kauppa was already settled in the late Bronze Age. In the Middle Ages there was a fortification similar to a moated castle on the Schlosswiese parcel , which is no longer recognizable today.

Today's place was first mentioned as Kupe around 1400 . Further forms of the name were Kawpen (1417) and Kaupe (1423/1543). The original Sorbian place name is derived from the word kupa for "island" and refers to the geographical location in the middle of the floodplain. So-called "Kaupen" are also known from the Spreewald . In 1488 the Kauppaer Rittergut was recorded for the first time, which also exercised the manorial rule in the place and over the forest areas in the north until the 19th century. Kauppa has also been a center of fish pond management in the area since at least the 16th century.

On August 3, 1790, the manor types Kauppa, Göbeln and Leichnam were attacked by around 600 people armed with axes and hoes from villages downstream (including Milkel , Lohsa , Hermsdorf ). In the unusually hot summer, the landlords had drained so much water from the Spree into their own ponds that the mills further below could no longer continue to operate. In the revolutionary times, the residents expressed their displeasure with the feudal lords in this way in Kauppa. Even before that, the gentlemen on Kauppa had repeatedly disputes with the upstairs Rule Sdier because of the water of the Spree.

In the last days of the Second World War , the Kauppa manor house burned down in the course of the Battle of Bautzen on May 2, 1945 and was later demolished.

Until April 1, 1936 Kauppa was an independent rural community with Jetscheba as a district. Then it was first incorporated into Commerau and together with it on January 1, 1994 to Großdubrau.

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%) and 28 Germans. 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 .
