Klein Döbbern ( Lower Sorbian Małe Dobrynje ) is a district of the municipality of Neuhausen / Spree in the Spree-Neisse district of the state of Brandenburg .

Geographical location

Klein Döbbern is located in Niederlausitz, 9 km south of Cottbus and 3 km west of the Spremberg dam . The place can be reached from Cottbus via a country road, which branches off the federal highway 97 shortly after Groß Oßnig and leads to Groß Döbbern .

The place is partly on lignite . In GDR times there was a construction freeze due to a possible demolition.

coat of arms

Originally the place is said to have been in the Hobrysch corridor on the Roschitzer Berg. According to legend, in order to protect themselves from the raids of the robber barons at the beginning of the 15th century, the inhabitants withdrew to the swampy valley.

The colors red and silver as well as the eagle flight are borrowed from the Brandenburg coat of arms. The morning stars symbolize the robber barons and the fish indicates the nearby Spremberg dam, which is partly part of the municipality .

Incorporation

On September 19, 2004, Klein Döbbern formed the new community together with a number of communities from the dissolved Neuhausen / Spree office.

politics

For the local elections on May 26, 2019, a new local advisory council consisting of 3 members was elected:

  • Lothar Krogull
  • Gerd Schwarzer
  • Jens Butze

Population development

In 1933, 309 people lived here and in 1939 there were 316. Due to the construction freeze because of brown coal, the number of inhabitants declined as many younger residents moved away. After its abolition there are currently 289.

Klein Döbbern was largely Sorbian / Wendish into the 20th century . An official investigation commissioned by the Lübben Consistory stated in 1812 that “the Wendish language was“ predominant ”in all the villages” of the community and that there were only 12 families in the entire parish where German was spoken.

The core of the village church is a late Romanesque brick building from the late 13th with extensions from the 15th century. Around 1680 the building was extended to the east. He concluded with a five-page choir. The tower was destroyed in 1794/95. In 1794 a massive church tower was added. In the last days of the war, the church was destroyed in 1945 except for the surrounding walls. In the years 1950/51 the church was rebuilt, whereby parts of the original structure could be preserved. In recent years it has been restored both inside and out. In 2014 the roof of the nave was renewed. Inside there are still individual pieces of equipment from the 17th century. To the west of the church, the street name Dorfanger refers to the Anger .

There are no remains of the manor castle, which was damaged in a bombing and demolished in 1945. Only a small pond on site and a park with old trees are evidence of this. In the 1970s, a primary school was built on the northern edge of the park .
