history

First documentary mention and place name

The Knissen Colony and the Knissen Desert a little to the south on a sketch by Heinrich Nebelsieck (1909)

Knissen was first mentioned in a document in 1235 as Knüssyn. In that year, Margrave Heinrich von Meißen enfeoffed the Zeidelmeister Ulrich von Rummelshain with the "Land on the Premnitz", an area which included the villages of Knissen and Thalberg and the fortress Harig on the Black Elster near Zeischa. In 1243 the place was then called daz dorff knuessyn and in 1505 as Knossen . The place name is of Slavic origin. The interpretation is rather unclear. Presumably a place on the swamp or a place with putrid water was referred to.

Until the Reformation , the pilgrimage route (Pilarum) leading through the Knissen district was important. On it, the pilgrims from Brandenburg traveled through the Liebenwerdaer Heide to Liebenwerda to the chapel of the Holy Cross , which was there in front of the Großenhayner Tor and where there was a portrait of Mary that attracted numerous pilgrims. In addition, the rulers residing at Liebenwerda Castle , such as the Elector Rudolf III. and Frederick the Meek donated sanctuaries and relics from their pilgrimages to the city's churches, which also prompted pilgrims to make pilgrimages to the city.

Knissen later fell victim to the neighboring Thalberg in the power struggles between the supporters of the Dobrilugk monastery on the one hand and the Ileburgers with their supporters on the other. Already in the years 1504 and 1585 the place was mentioned as desolate . The location of the desert is described in an essay by Heinrich Nebelsieck published in the Black Elster in 1909 as being just east of the southeast corner of the large pond .

Resettlement in Knissen in the 19th century

Original table sheet from 1847

In Friedrich Gottlob Leonhardi's description of the earth of the electoral and ducal Saxon lands from 1803 and in Volume 6 of the Complete State, Post and Newspaper Lexicon of Saxony by August Schumann , which was published in 1817, it is described that part of the desert Mark Knissen belonged to the district village of Maasdorf. And even on a Urmes table sheet published in 1847 and on the map of the Liebenwerda district in the atlas of the province of Saxony published by Flemming Verlag (1848–1869), the location of Knissen is still not recorded, with the exception of a few residential places. However, a colony soon developed here, branching off from today's state road, mainly along Knissener Strasse in a south-easterly direction. The Government Gazette of Merseburg According belonged to them from 1874 to District Maasdorf of the circle Liebenwerda . From the following year the colony officially belonged to the Maasdorf community.

In 1936 Knissen finally came to Thalberg, representing the allocation of Knissen and its open fields, a district area was that it had temporarily lost for several hundred years as they like Knissen waste had fallen. Thalberg, was re-established as a settlement between 1785 and 1802, previously belonged to Theisa and, apart from 17.5 acres in the village, no longer had its own corridor. The place became an independent municipality again.

In 1993 the entire place was finally incorporated into the city of Bad Liebenwerda.
