history

The place was first mentioned in 1498. Until 1605 it was a vassal village of the noble von Zabeltitz family. Historically, the place had the shape of a narrow street . The courtyards on both sides of the main street were built very close to one another. From 1860, the village has its own cemetery. In the 19th century the shape of the village changed due to the new development due to the constantly growing population. Before the demolition of Klein Lieskow, the Museum of Prehistory and Early History in Potsdam carried out systematic excavations in the early 1980s. A total of 17 sites were found. Including from the Younger Stone Age, Late Bronze Age and from the Early Iron Age Lausitz culture (so-called Billendorfer culture ). Slavic finds date from the 12th and 13th centuries.

The Thirty Years War saw looting, billeting of imperial troops, famine and plague. During the Seven Years' War there were again troop movements and billeting. Since 1695 Lieutenant General Anton von Pannwitz (from the Kahren headquarters) bought Tranitz and Kl. Lieskow, this family resided there until 1805. Anton Dietrich Wilhelm von Pannwitz (1723–1782) died childless and all his property with other goods in the Cottbus area fell to his widow and sisters. After the death of his mother Anna Helene, married v. Schöning came to Gottfried Carl August von Schöning in possession of all goods and established the v. Schöning Foundation. At the end of the Second World War , in April 1945, the 76th and 120th rifle corps of the Red Army were on the line Grießen - Heinersbrück - Groß and Klein Lieskow - Schlichow - Frauendorf.
