geography

Kringelsdorf is surrounded by Boxberg in the north, Reichwalde in the east, Klitten in the south and the Bärwalder See in the west. To the north of the village, on the site of the former Bärwalde open-cast mine , there is a 26.5- hectare industrial area on Staatsstrasse 131 (Boxberg– Rietschen ) .

To the north of the village, the White Schöps flows into the Black Schöps , before the relocation of the White Schöps in favor of the Reichwalde open-cast mine , this confluence was between Kringelsdorf and Reichwalde.

Kringelsdorf is divided into three suburbs: The original village of Kringelsdorf is located on the left bank of the Schwarzen Schöps, in the western part of the village. The eastern part of the locality is formed by the former village Eselsberg , which was divided by the Schöps into a southern Jahmer and a northern Muskauer part. Wilhelmsfeld is located between Kringelsdorf and Eselsberg, part of Muskau .

history

Local history

The shape of the village as an extended round hamlet suggests that a Slavic settlement was developed during the period of German expansion to the east. Klyngisdorf is first mentioned in a Görlitz council bill from 1400 . The village parish after Klitten belonged in its history to the manors Dürrbach and Jahmen .

A manorial Vorwerk has been proven for the 18th century. The children of the three villages have been educated in the sheep farm since 1780. A mansion was built in 1794.

After the Kingdom of Saxony had to cede Lower Lusatia and the northeastern part of Upper Lusatia, which had belonged to Saxony since 1635, to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815, Kringelsdorf was incorporated into the Rothenburg district (Ob. Laus.) Founded in 1816 in the Prussian province of Silesia .

In May 1899, the Kringelsdorf community leader found a pot while working on the ground in his field southwest of the village. This contained 29 well-preserved silver coins from the years 1500 to 1619, wrapped in a cloth.

In October 1928, the Prussian Minister of the Interior ordered the amalgamation of Eselsberg, Kringelsdorf and Wilhelmsfeld on January 1, 1929 under the name Kringelsdorf. This took into account the fact that the villages were quite small and that Kringelsdorf had long appeared to form a village community with the two neighboring villages Eselsberg and Wilhelmsfeld. At Easter 1929 a new school was inaugurated, which was used until the opening of the new Boxberg school complex in February 1971.

After the Second World War , Upper Lusatia, west of the Lusatian Neisse, was reassigned to the state of Saxony. Through the administrative reform of 1952 , Kringelsdorf was attached to the new Weißwasser district ( Cottbus district ). In the south the border ran to the Niesky district and to the west to the Hoyerswerda district .

As in Boxberg, an agricultural production cooperative (LPG) was only founded in Kringelsdorf during the "socialist spring" in 1960. A dairy cattle facility was put into operation in 1973.

On January 1, 1992, the communities Boxberg and Kringelsdorf founded the administrative community Boxberg , after they had already belonged to the community association Heidedörfer in GDR times. On April 1, 1996, Kringelsdorf was incorporated into the Boxberg community.

In 1777 there were six possessed men , three gardeners and six cottagers in Kringelsdorf , one economy was in desolation . The three Eselsberger shares come this year to two possessed men, seven gardeners, ten cottagers and also a desert. With a total of 34 owners, the villages were somewhat larger than Nochten at that time , although the social structure was very different.

With 86 inhabitants, Kringelsdorf is smaller than Eselsberg (146 inhabitants) in 1825. The population grew rapidly within half a century, so that in 1871 there were already 121 inhabitants, in 1905 there were 151. At the end of the 19th century the population was almost entirely Sorbian . Arnošt Muka determined a Sorbian population of 98% around 1880, although he only gave 106 inhabitants.

In 1925 the three localities had 273 inhabitants. This number hardly changed until the Second World War, but after the end of the war it rose by almost 100 to 368 inhabitants in October 1946. This also affects the linguistic situation. In 1956 Ernst Tschernik counted a Sorbian-speaking population of only 52.2% in the municipality of Kringelsdorf. The language change to German mostly took place in the second half of the 20th century.

A slight decrease to 326 inhabitants was recorded by 1971, after which the population increased to 377 inhabitants in 1988. After an initial decrease in the turning point , the number of inhabitants increased again and reached a level of around 420 inhabitants at the turn of the millennium, which then fell slightly is.

Place name

The name develops from Klyngisdorf (1400) via Clingesdorff (1415) to Clingelstorf, Clingelsdorff (1418). Then the first -l- is reinterpreted to -r- and the name appears in documents in 1428 as Kringlisdorff , 1522 as Kringelßdorff and 1732 as Krengelsdorff . The current form Kringelsdorf is documented for the year 1768. The place name probably originally referred to the village on the Klinge "valley gorge" or the village of a Klinge (who was then probably the locator responsible for the town's expansion). Due to the early dissimilation of the first -l-, it is reinterpreted as Kringel , which can designate a small “circle” or “village square”.

The Sorbian name is borrowed from the German and proven to be Krengylezy in 1800 and Kryngelecy in 1884 . The official Upper Sorbian name Krynhelecy differs from this spelling, which can be assigned to the Sorbian transition dialects , through the change from -g- to -h- .
