Klingmühl

Klingmühl is an inhabited part of the municipality of Sallgast in the Elbe-Elster district in Brandenburg . Klingmühl was an independent municipality until 1933. The site was largely devastated for the Klettwitz-Nord opencast mine by 1989 , but was not dredged when the opencast mine was closed. About a quarter of the homesteads remained. 187 people were resettled.

location

Klingmühl is located in Niederlausitz in the former Finsterwalde district . The dredged town center was about two kilometers west of the municipality of Sallgast and southeast of the town of Finsterwalde. The Klingmühl-Lichterfeld station on the Finsterwalde - Annahütte railway line was north of the village. The remaining district of Klingmühl is on the edge of the disused Klettwitz open-cast mine , three to four kilometers away from the F60 visitor mine .

history

The place was first mentioned in 1437. At the end of the 18th century, the place consisted of the estate with its stables, which belonged to the lord of the castle von Sallgast, plus a few houses and the water mill that gave the place its name. In the first half of the 19th century, the village still had the form of a hamlet settlement . In the following decades it changed to a street village. Until the 1950s, traditional festivals were celebrated together in the village. B. Carnival and Zampern , Stollen Riding, Thanksgiving Festival.

The region is rich in clay and loam deposits. The Klingmühl-Lichterfeld brickworks was built in 1844 and a pottery was built in 1855 that processed clay from the deposits around Klingmühl, Gohra and Hohenleipisch . Another pottery followed in 1880. The connection to the Finsterwalde – Sallgast – Schipkau railway took place in 1889. This gradually led to an economic upswing in the region.

The first coal mines were opened around Klingmühl and Sallgast in 1855. More pits followed around 1900.

In 1983, preparations began for the complete demolition of the village by the Klettwitz opencast mine. In 1990, after the majority of the village had already been devastated , the open-cast mine was shut down and repopulation began gradually. In 2001, the Konrad Adenauer Foundation awarded the Klingmühler Citizens' Initiative one of the three gold medals that were awarded at the “Konrad Adenauer Prize for Local Politics”.

building

The Gasthof Griebner (formerly Thiemig's Gasthof ) is one of the few remaining buildings . Former and current residents of Klingmühl gather here for the annual Klingmühl meeting. The building and its predecessor have existed since at least 1840.
