Location of Lübbenau in the Spreewald

Lübbenau / Spreewald (since January 1, 1998, previously Lübbenau), Lubnjow / Błota in Lower Sorbian , is a town in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district in Brandenburg , about 80 km southeast of Berlin . Due to its location on the southeastern edge of the Spreewald biosphere reserve and its city gate, the city of Lübbenau is also known as the gateway to the Spreewald . Since the incorporation of Hindenberg on October 26, 2003, part of the Niederlausitzer Landücken nature park has also been located within the Lübbenau urban area.

Lübbenau is part of Lower Lusatia and is a member of the “Cities with Historic Town Centers” working group of the State of Brandenburg. Lübbenau was the main town of the historic lordship of Lübbenau , but with its population structure remained an agricultural small town for a long time. With the opening of the Seese-West open-cast lignite mine and the commissioning of the Lübbenau power plant in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Lübbenau finally developed into an industrial city and the economic center of the Calau district, with the number of inhabitants quadrupling between 1950 and 1970. The living space required for this was created through the construction of the Lübbenauer Neustadt .

Since reunification and the closure of the Lübbenau power plant in 1996, the city has had to contend with a decline in population. Between 1989 and 2002 the population decreased from around 21,000 to around 15,000. In 2003 the population of Lübbenau rose again to 18,000 through the incorporation of the municipalities of the Lübbenau / Spreewald office , and the number of inhabitants has been falling again since then. In 2019, the population fell below the 16,000 mark. Today the inhabitants live mainly from tourism.

geography

Geographical location

The city of Lübbenau is located in the northern part of the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district in southern Brandenburg, about 35 kilometers west of Cottbus and about 50 kilometers north of the district town of Senftenberg . In the northeast, Lübbenau borders the Spree-Neiße district , and the Dahme-Spreewald district in the west and north . Neighboring cities and communities are ( starting clockwise in the north): Lübben (Spreewald) , Alt Zauche-Wußwerk and Straupitz (Spreewald) (all in the district of Dahme-Spreewald), Burg (Spreewald) (in the district of Spree-Neisse), Vetschau / Spreewald and Calau (in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district ) and Luckau (again in the Dahme-Spreewald district).

Lübbenau is known as the gateway to the Spreewald . The northeastern part of the urban area with the Lübbenau old town, the districts of Lehde and Leipe and parts of the districts of Boblitz , Krimnitz , Ragow and Zerkwitz are located in the Spreewald biosphere reserve . The north-eastern border of the city forms the Great River . The districts of Hindenberg and Lichtenau are located in the Niederlausitzer Landücken nature park .

City structure

The city of Lübbenau consists of the following districts and residential areas (Sorbian names in brackets):

The district of Zerkwitz also includes the former municipality of Kleeden (Kłodna) , which was incorporated on January 1, 1926 and is no longer shown as a residential area. The former Berg (Gora) residential area, which belonged to Groß Lübbenau , was deleted from the Brandenburg municipality and district directory in June 2014. Furthermore, the corridors of the devastated by lignite mining settlements Boschwitz , Kückebusch , Schönfeld , Seese , Tornow and Vorberg are in the urban area.

The largest part of the urban area - namely around 69 percent - is forest and arable land, with arable land accounting for the largest share with 47 percent of the total area. This is due, among other things, to the fact that some areas within the city, for example between the Lübbenau old town and the former Recklin, are used for agriculture. At 2.4 percent, the proportion of water area is relatively low compared to the rest of Brandenburg (3.4 percent) despite the location in the Spreewald. Around 853 hectares and thus around 6 percent of the urban area are buildings and open spaces. Recreational and green areas such as parks make up a share of just under one percent of the total area.

Waters

Due to its location in the Spreewald, the urban area of ​​Lübbenau is characterized by a multitude of bodies of water. The Spree crosses in the direction of flow from the east at first the district Leipe and then the town of Lübbenau, where they passed the Great Spreewaldhafen. In Leipe and Lehde, a large number of small canals branch off or flow into the Spree. To distinguish it from these rivers , the Spree in the area of ​​the city of Lübbenau is also referred to as the main Spree . The tributaries of the Spree include the Lehder Fließ and the Bürgerfließ as well as the Südumfluter , which flows into the Spree south of the castle district in the Kaupen residential area. The Malxe flows in the far north of Lübbenau on the border with the Dahme-Spreewald district .

In the southern urban area of ​​Lübbenau there are mainly lakes that were created by the flooding and recultivation of the remaining holes in the former lignite opencast mines. These are (from west to east) the Lichtenauer See , the Schönfelder See and the Bischdorfer See , the former mostly in the area of ​​the Calau district of Zinnitz and the latter mostly in the Vetschauer district of Koßwig . The Schönfelder See is drained by the Dobra , which flows into the Südumfluter near Boblitz. Other lakes that were created by the flooding of former gravel pits are the Hindenberger See in the Hindenberg district and the Redlitzer See in the Groß Klessow district.

history

Place name

The name "Lübbenau" comes from the Lower Sorbian language and can be derived from the personal name Lubin , a short form of Lubomir , which in turn means "the peace-loving one". In relation to the city, the place name can be interpreted as "place / city of the peace-loving". The village of Neu Lübbenau located in the Unterspreewald was named after the city.

When the castle was first mentioned in 1301, the place name was Lubbenowe , when the town was first mentioned fourteen years later, Lubenaw . In the church articles of the diocese of Meissen , which are only preserved as a copy from 1495, the place name Lobenaw is mentioned. In 1557 the German place name was Lübenaw . The current name Lübbenau then appears in the Schmettauschen map series from 1767/87 . The Sorbian place name was Lůbnow in 1761 and Lubnjow in 1843 .

Foundation and early modern times

Torhaus and Spreewald Museum in front of the entrance to the historic old town

Due to its location in an ice age valley sand spur , the area around Lübbenau was settled early on. This is proven by archaeological finds from the late Middle Stone Age and the New Stone Age . Margrave Gero is said to have stayed in the region in the 10th century and took possession of the place. Around 950 a fishing settlement consisting of a few log houses was discovered during a bear hunt on the site of today's town of Lübbenau, which could only be reached by water. Lübbenau appears for the first time on August 3, 1301 as Burg ( castrum ) Lubbenowe , on September 29, 1315 Lubenaw designates the castle with the spot ( castrum cum opido ). The construction of a settlement in the southern Spreewald was favored by the location on the Spree and thus a good trade connection to Lübben and Cottbus . However, due to its location, Lübbenau was almost isolated from the outside world, as there were no other transport routes to Lübbenau. After Luckau and Calau two highways, but they were often flooded and unusable led. At the time it was first mentioned, Lübbenau belonged to the Mark Brandenburg .

From 1364 Lübbenau belonged to the countries of the Bohemian Crown . In 1429 the then still small village was attacked by the Hussites . At the same time territorial disputes arose between Lübbenau and the neighboring town of Lübben. Both cities had joined forces with surrounding villages to expand their area, and several battles broke out in which the city of Lübbenau was able to expand its area to the northwest. In 1448 Lower Lusatia was pledged to the Elector Friedrich II of Brandenburg , making Lübbenau Brandenburg again. Thereupon there were armed conflicts between Brandenburg and Bohemia, so that the Lübbenau with the entire Lower Lusatia after the peace of Guben in 1462 became Bohemian again. In 1476 Lübbenau was called a little town and in 1496 it was granted town charter. The first officially appointed mayor of the city, Albinus Dorhalcz, is recorded for the year 1483 . This year, the office of mayor and city judge were also separated.

In the 16th century Lübbenau was a very insignificant town. There were two chapels next to the town church , but no town hall . In addition, the city had no fortifications other than the archway, as the residents on the Kaupen around Lübbenau could quickly get to safety. The residents of Lübbenau mostly ran cattle , growing fruit and vegetables , fishing and collecting farming in the Spreewald. Craft professions were only rarely represented. In the 16th century, linen weaving and brewing were added as branches of business. From 1565 onwards, the Recklin settlement in front of the city was built for the linen weavers . At the end of the 18th century there were 61 breweries in Lübbenau.

Lübbenau in the Electorate of Saxony

As a result of the Reformation , a new church order was introduced in Lübbenau in 1574. In 1616 almost all rivers in Lübbenau dried up due to a long-lasting drought. After the Peace of Prague in 1635 , the city became part of the Electorate of Saxony . During the Thirty Years' War , Lübbenau was attacked in 1637 by the troops of General Hatzfeldt and between 1641 and 1644 by various warring parties. In July 1644 there was a battle near Bolschwitz, in which the village was destroyed. The surviving residents did not initially rebuild the place. Most of Lübbenau's residents were able to save themselves by retreating to the Spreewald, but large parts of the city were destroyed and the neighboring city of Calau was completely devastated . In 1656 the Lübbenau schoolhouse, which was destroyed in the war, was rebuilt. In 1675 there was a major fire in Lübbenau , in which almost the entire city was destroyed. On May 14, 1688, the areas of Recklin , Kampe , Berge and Haag in front of the city gate were incorporated into the city of Lübbenau. These were largely individual settlements, the owners of which had to pay taxes to the Lübbenau landlords.

In 1694 a new school house was built, which was inaugurated on April 12, 1696. In 1703, at the instruction of the Countess zu Lynar, a fixed traffic connection in the form of a stick embankment to the neighboring town of Boblitz was created for the first time by laying several strong wooden trunks in front of and on top of each other and pouring gravel over them. Another fire broke out on May 15, 1708, in which 27 buildings in the city were destroyed. Today's St. Nikolai Church was built between 1738 and 1740 in place of the previous building of the same name. On February 12, 1741, the first sermon was delivered in the new church. The Cavaliershaus was built between 1744 and 1746 and served as the residence of the count's family for a long time. Around the same time, from 1745 to 1748, the court registry was established. The baroque- style building was the location of the count's court judge. It was later used as a library and museum. On October 3, 1745, another fire broke out in Lübbenau. After the Seven Years' War the city of Lübbenau had to pay 11,515 thalers as a contribution to Prussia. In 1780 the gatehouse, in which the Spreewald Museum is located today , was completed. In 1791 there was another devastating drought in and around Lübbenau. Among other things, this led to the alder trees dying off in the Lübbenau area and the village of Leipe being destroyed by fire.

Lübbenau as a Prussian city

Due to its location on the Spree, there have been four floods in the course of history. In 1804 the Ragow district was flooded to such an extent that the residents could only reach their houses by barges. Due to the agreements of the Congress of Vienna , Lübbenau had been a Prussian city since 1815. During the territorial reform in the following year, Lübbenau was assigned to the district of Calau in the administrative district of Frankfurt in the province of Brandenburg . After a longer transition phase, the Prussian land law was introduced in 1830. The builder Siegel built Lübbenau Castle between 1817 and 1820 . In 1820 the orangery was added to protect the frost-sensitive plants of the castle in winter. The landscape architects Freschke continued to create a nine-hectare park in the English style based on designs by Peter Joseph Lenné . In addition to the castle pond with the duck house and ice cellar, there is also the Lehder pond, which is also the eastern end of the complex. During the revolutions in 1848 the castle was stormed. In 1844 the road from Berlin to Cottbus was built through Lübbenau, and in September 1866 today's Berlin – Görlitz railway line was opened on the section between Berlin and Cottbus. Until the death of Pastor Christian Friedrich Stempel in 1867, services were held in Lübbenau for the Sorbian-speaking residents of the city and the parish villages of Leipe, Lehde and Boblitz, also in Lower Sorbian (Wendish).

In the census of December 1, 1871, the population of the city of Lübbenau was made up as follows: There were 441 residential buildings and 761 households. The city had a total of 3330 inhabitants, which made Lübbenau the largest city in the Calau district. Of the population, 1,549 were male and 1,781 were female. The majority of the population (3310) were of the Evangelical Lutheran denomination, and 19 Catholic and one Jewish citizen lived in the city. 735 residents were children under the age of ten. In addition, there were 17 families and 105 residents in the Lübbenau castle district, 41 of whom were male and 64 were female. 104 residents were Evangelical Lutheran and one Catholic, 19 residents were younger than ten years old. On May 12, 1873, lightning struck the tower of St. Nicholas' Church, causing the tower to catch fire. Arnošt Muka determined in 1884 for his statistics about the Sorbian population in Lusatia of 3,805 inhabitants 150 Sorbs, i.e. a share of around 4%. The Sorbian language can still be found in the Lübbenau area in the 21st century through names of waters, fields, families and plants.

Sprayer house built around 1900 by the Lübbenau volunteer fire brigade

On April 15, 1894, the inn north of Lübbenau was opened on the island of Wotschofska . This was initially only accessible by water, before a footpath to this restaurant was opened on September 20, 1911. In 1898 a girls' school was built , which was inaugurated on April 10, 1898. On November 25, 1905, Lübbenau was connected to the power grid, and the associated power station was built in Recklin. In 1908 the first ferrymen's association in the Spreewald was founded. With the census of December 1, 1910, when the city had 4123 inhabitants, the buildings of the city of Lübbenau were given house numbers for the first time. By 1921, the suburban streets that would connect the city to the train station had been completed. On November 8, 1921, Lübbenau was connected to the telephone network. In 1929 the first land connection between Lübbenau and the Spreewald village of Lehde was opened to traffic, before the place could only be reached by water.

During the time of National Socialism , people in Lübbenau were also persecuted politically and racially. The Jewish veterinarian Max Plessner was imprisoned in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp during the November pogrom in 1938 and committed suicide in Lübbenau in August 1942. Beatrice Ledermann, who was also Jewish from Lübbenau, committed suicide three months later, shortly before the imminent deportation . On January 23, 1944, Lübbenau Castle was badly damaged by fire. With the end of the Second World War approaching, Lübbenau was taken on April 20, 1945 by the advancing Red Army .

Time of the GDR and construction of the new town

In the Soviet occupation zone Lübbenau still belonged to the district of Calau. On October 7, 1949, the German Democratic Republic was formed from the Soviet Zone . On July 1, 1950, the city of Lübbenau and some surrounding communities moved from the Calau district to the Lübben district . With the GDR district reform on July 25, 1952, the city was reassigned to the newly formed Calau district in the Cottbus district .

During the GDR, a branch of VEB Trikotagenwerke Lübben was opened in what was then Maxim-Gorki- Strasse (today's Dammstrasse) . Nevertheless, Lübbenau initially remained a small town with a poorly developing textile and food industry as well as the tourism industry . With the construction of the Lübbenau power station and the opening of the Seese West and East lignite mine , the economic and social structure in the city changed considerably. Due to work-related immigration, particularly from the GDR districts of Karl-Marx-Stadt , Magdeburg , Halle and Erfurt , the number of inhabitants rose from 5,626 to around 22,000 between 1946 and 1976. In addition, there were the residents of the villages abandoned because of the opencast mining. At that time, Lübbenau had an above-average proportion of children and people of working age. Between 1946 and 1975 about 6,000 remote-heated homes were in Lübbenau bricks with the corresponding infrastructure (schools, kindergartens , clinic , department store built) in today's New Town. The number of schools increased to seven over the same period. While in 1956 only 255 people were employed in industry in Lübbenau, in 1971 almost 7,000 people were employed in industry. In 1954 the ferrymen's association became the barge ferry cooperative, which still existed in the 21st century. The Lübbenau power plant, a lignite power plant with an installed capacity of 1.3  GW , was in operation from December 17, 1959 to June 30, 1996. In its time it was the largest steam power plant in Europe. It was shut down in 1996 and demolished by 2010. A sawmill on Am Holzgraben in Dammstrasse also closed in 1971 . The river is named after the logs that were raised there. In 2019 there is a natural harbor there.

The new town, built in prefabricated construction, was further supplemented in the 1960s and 1970s with restaurants , shops, sports fields and green spaces and is now growing in the southwest to the Zerkwitz district and the municipality of Kleeden and in the north to Landesstrasse 49. The first prefabricated buildings were built in May 1958, a separate type of prefabricated building was designed for Lübbenau, the concept of which was later also used in other cities. According to plans from the 1960s, the Neustadt should be able to accommodate around 30,000 residents by the year 2000. In 1960 the second polytechnic high school was inaugurated, so that in the 1960/61 school year 427 children in 23 school classes could be enrolled. The population had already doubled between 1950 and 1960. The department store of the trade organization , which opened on November 11, 1960, was then the largest department store in the Cottbus district. At the beginning of 1965, the high-rise building with 155 apartments was inaugurated on Red Square .

In 1966, a team from the Technical University of Dresden carried out measurements in Lübbenauer Neustadt, which revealed increased air pollution from fly ash and sulfur dioxide . In addition, more lung diseases and various blood diseases were found among the residents of Neustadt, and the population had a life expectancy that was five to ten years lower than in the rest of the GDR. Thereupon it was considered to completely stop the construction of further apartment blocks in the new town. However, since this would have resulted in an industrial collapse and the living space for the resettled residents of the devastated villages Seese and Tornow was required, the expansion of the Neustadt was continued.

On October 28, 1970, the school sports hall of the polytechnic high school "Werner Seelenbinder" was inaugurated, the largest gym in the Calau district at the time. The blocks of flats in Neustadt are now being partially renovated and managed by WIS Housing Association im Spreewald mbH.

Since the reunification

The new town hall inaugurated in 1999 on the Altmarkt

After reunification, the city of Lübbenau initially belonged administratively to the Calau district in Brandenburg, which merged with the Senftenberg district on December 6, 1993 in the new Oberspreewald-Lausitz district. Still in the district of Calau, the city merged on July 21, 1992 with ten other communities to form the Lübbenau / Spreewald office . In January 1998 the city was officially renamed Lübbenau / Spreewald . In addition, since 1998 the city has had the right to use the designation “ state-approved resort ” in connection with the municipality name . In the course of this development, the city had the landing area at the Great Spreewaldhafen rebuilt and expanded in 1999 and 2005. In the mid-1990s, the port opened at the mill weir . In 1999 the new Lübbenau town hall was inaugurated on the Altmarkt. Due to the decline in residents in the Neustadt, around 1,300 apartments were demolished in the district between 2002 and 2014.

In 2006 the city of Lübbenau was accepted into the working group "Cities with historic city centers" . Only cities that have a closed historical cityscape and give priority to monument protection are included in these. In May 2007 the so-called Sagenbrunnen was inaugurated next to the Sankt Nikolai Church. On May 25, 2009, the city received the title “ Place of Diversity ” awarded by the federal government . At the end of 2009 Lübbenau was named the winning city of the nationwide Mission Olympic city ​​competition . In the same year, extensive renovation work on the palace and in the park was completed. The 13th Brandenburg Day took place in Lübbenau on September 1 and 2, 2012 .

Incorporations

The first incorporations into the city of Lübbenau took place on December 26, 1929 with the affiliation of the communities of Stottoff and Stennewitz . On May 1, 1974, the communities Krimnitz and Lehde, on January 1, 1978, the community Zerkwitz were incorporated into Lübbenau. During the municipal reform on October 26, 2003 , the municipalities of Bischdorf, Boblitz, Groß Beuchow, Groß Klessow, Groß Lübbenau, Hindenberg, Kittlitz, Klein Radden, Leipe and Ragow were incorporated into the town of Lübbenau / Spreewald.

Population development

Population development of Lübbenau from 1875 to 2013

At the beginning of the 19th century the city of Lübbenau had around 2300 inhabitants. After that, the population rose slightly. In 1871 there were 3330 inhabitants and in 1910 there were 4123 inhabitants in Lübbenau. After that, the number of inhabitants did not change significantly until the end of the Second World War. In 1946 Lübbenau had 5,626 inhabitants, with the increase in population mainly resulting from the influx of refugees from the eastern German regions.

From the 1950s onwards, there was a strong population growth, which was triggered by the commissioning of the Lübbenau power plant and the associated influx of workers. At the end of 1959 the city had 10,669 inhabitants, almost twice as many as ten years earlier. By 1971, the population doubled again to 21,198. After German reunification, however, lignite slowly lost its importance as an energy source. In 1996, the Seese-Ost opencast mine, the last open-cast lignite mine in the region around Lübbenau, was shut down and the power plant ceased operations in the same year. Many residents then left the city, especially young people who left Lübbenau after completing their schooling to study for Berlin or West Germany. In 2003 the number of inhabitants rose again by around 3,000 inhabitants due to the incorporation of the municipalities of the Lübbenau / Spreewald office, and has been falling again since then.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of Lübbenau / Spreewald
 Blazon : "In blue a swimming silver fish between three (1: 2 posed), six-pointed, silver stars."
Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms symbolism of the city of Lübbenau / Spreewald in the form of a fish surrounded by three stars has been consistently verifiable since the 16th century. The oldest seal (from the 16th century) can be found in von Mülverstedt's "Diplomatarium Ileburgense" (Magdeburg 1877). It still shows the stars in the original arrangement, two above and one below the fish, which were taken over from the former city lords, "the noble lords of Ileburg". In contrast, the fact that the city was part of the Lübbenau estate from 1621 to the 19th century as the property of the Counts of Lynar resulted in no heraldic imprint on the city's coat of arms. The current position of the stars is also recorded on other seals, in some cases even before the 16th century.

In the course of time there were only changes in the details of the representation of the symbols: a more pointed or squat shape of the three stars and a different number of fins on the fish, which is why it is assigned to the loach or the barbel.

On the only seal in the Brandenburg State Main Archives (on a document from 1726), the fish is reproduced without pelvic and dorsal fins. There are also deviations in the tinging (coloring). In Otto Hupp's standard work “Deutsche Ortswappen” (Bremen approx. 1935), the fins of the fish appear gold-plated. And in Siemacher's large and general register of arms (Städtewappen Vol. II, Nuremberg 1885, pp. 154/155) the stars are described in gold.

The coat of arms was redesigned by heraldist Frank Diemar and approved on September 13, 2001.

Buildings

Castles and mansions

The Lübbenau Castle is the historic seat of Standesherrschaft Lübbenau and a classical three-wing building. Originally there was a medieval moated castle on the site, which was converted into a castle around 1600. The present castle was built between 1817 and 1820 under Carl August Benjamin Siegel . Between 1834 and 1839 the exterior structure was changed and the two towers were added. After the Second World War, the lords of Lynar were expropriated and Lübbenau Castle became public property . In 1949 a rural outpatient clinic and a maternity ward were set up in the castle . In 1963 the outpatient clinic was closed and the castle was unused from then on. First from 1971 and again from 1990, the building was extensively renovated. During the GDR era, a building was built in the palace park that was to be used as a kindergarten.

Hunting lodge in the Groß Beuchow district

The hunting lodge Groß Beuchow in the district Groß Beuchow, also known as the castle, was built in the years 1746 and 1747 in place of the previously demolished manor house on the same site. The annex in the back yard was the village church of Groß Beuchow until 1574, after which it was abandoned. Like all other manors in the Lübbenau domain, the hunting lodge belonged to the possessions of the Counts of Lynar. After their expropriation after the Second World War, the building was used as a kindergarten from 1952 until it had to leave the house in 2003 due to construction defects. Since the renovation between 2011 and 2016, the building has been a hotel.

The Castle Seese originated in the 15th century which now lying on Lübbenauer district village Seese. In 1768 or 1771 it came into the possession of the lords of Lübbenau and from the 1930s onwards it was used by the lords of Lynar as their main residence for cost reasons. The castle was demolished in 1969 before the land was claimed by open-cast brown coal mining.

Sacred buildings

The largest and most important sacred building is the St. Nikolai Church in the old town of Lübbenau. The existence of a church on the site has been documented since 1463, on April 4, 1500 the church was consecrated to St. Nicholas of Myra . The construction time of this first church is not known. In 1640, the tower of the original church burned down after being struck by lightning . In 1736 the church was closed due to dilapidation and demolished, in its place the present church was built until 1741 in three years of construction. The foundation stone was laid on March 6, 1738. The church tower is from the previous building. On September 25, 1754, three bells were installed in the church tower. Due to their age, these were removed from the church tower on August 28, 1895 and replaced by bells from the Gustav Collier foundry from Zehlendorf . On July 26, 1917, the bells were removed from the tower to be melted down for the armaments industry for the benefit of the First World War.

The St. Maria Annunciation Church in the north of Lübbenauer Neustadt is the Catholic church of the city of Lübbenau. Since the Catholic faith no longer played a special role in Lübbenau since the Reformation , construction of the church did not begin until 1954, when the number of Catholic residents in Lübbenau increased - also due to the arrival of refugees from the eastern German regions after the Second World War . The church was consecrated in November 1956.

The Lübbenau-Neustadt church was built in the area of ​​Lübbenau Neustadt as early as 1869 , originally as a chapel for the cemetery there. Only after the foundation stone was laid for the new town in September 1958 was the building used for church services. The conversion to the Lübbenau-Neustadt church began in 1959. The walled-up windows were broken open again and the building was provided with a false ceiling. The first church service after the renovation was celebrated on the 4th Advent in 1959, and in 1965 an independent parish was founded, into which the villages of Kittlitz , Eisdorf and Lichtenau were also incorporated. After the devastation of Schönfeld in 1975, the district of Hänchen (now Schönfeld) also became part of the parish.

In addition to the three churches in the core city area, there are also village churches in the districts of Bischdorf, Hindenberg and Zerkwitz. The village churches of Schönfeld, Seese, Tornow and Vorberg fell victim to the Seese-West open-cast lignite mine, the Groß Lübbenau village church to the Seese-East open-cast lignite mine.

In addition to theater, cabaret, concerts and seminars, creative workshops, holiday offers and rooms for private celebrations are offered. From the cultural center there is a connection between the new town and the old town via the sinusoidal energy path. Isolators line the path .

Economy and Infrastructure

The cultivation and processing of cucumbers was already an important economic factor in the middle of the 19th century. When Lübbenau was connected to the Berlin – Görlitz railway line in 1866, the product could also be used in more distant regions, e.g. B. be transported to Berlin. In the 21st century, numerous companies exist that cucumber insert . For example, there is a company on the road to Stottoff that is now in its fifth generation of processing cucumbers, the popularly known cucumber stall .

Established businesses

The French building materials company Lafarge operated a plasterboard plant in the Groß Klessow district until the end of December 2008. The company gave up this location due to insufficient capacity utilization. The factory used by Lafarge is now a logistics center for the shipping company Reinert Logistic . The grocery retail chain Kaufland has a logistics center in the Lübbenau industrial area that employs around 1150 people (as of 2018) .

Another well-known company is Rabe Spreewälder Konserven GmbH und Co. KG , based in the Boblitz district

The girls' school inaugurated in April 1899

In the city of Lübbenau there are three primary schools ( Jenaplanhaus , Traugott-Hirschberger primary school, Werner Seelenbinder primary school), one secondary school (Ehm-Welk secondary school) and one high school (Paul-Fahlisch secondary school). There is also a special school with a focus on "learning" and "Spiritual Development," and a branch of the Kreisvolkshochschule Oberspreewald-Lausitz and a vocational school for social work. The primary schools and the Ehm-Welk-Oberschule are run by the city, the other schools run by the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district. There are also ten day-care centers in Lübbenau, six of which are run by the city and four are privately run.

In December 1795 the Lübbenau boys' school was inaugurated on the church square and an extension was added in 1866. There were also village schools in Lehde, Stennewitz, Stottoff and Zerkwitz. On April 10, 1899, the girls' school in today's Schulstrasse was inaugurated. A year earlier, a lyceum with two rooms was set up in today's building at Ehm-Welk-Straße 6 . The village schools in Stennewitz and Stottoff were closed in 1929 after the two villages were incorporated. After the Lyceum closed in 1933, the building was used by the general vocational school, which moved to today's Karl-Marx-Straße 22 in 1936 . From then on, it existed there until its dissolution in December 1971 as a branch of the district town general vocational school in Calau.

The POS "WI Lenin" (today Jenaplanhaus) was the first polytechnic high school to be newly built in the city of Lübbenau in 1957

Due to the economic developments in Lübbenau and the strong population growth from the 1950s, the number of children also grew, especially in Neustadt. In 1955, the construction of today's Jenaplanhaus began in what was then Ernst-Thälmann-Strasse (today Poststrasse). In 1957 the girls' school was transformed into the first polytechnic high school . On April 15, 1957, the completed Jenaplanhaus was inaugurated as the POS "VI Lenin". In 1960, the second polytechnic high school "Erich Weinert" was inaugurated in Neustadt. As the population of Neustadt and the need for school places continued to rise, the third polytechnic high school "Gerhart Eisler" was built and inaugurated in 1963. In 1966 the extended secondary school "Rosa Luxemburg" and POS IV "Nadeschda Krupskaja" were built in Humboldtstrasse , which shared a building. In the following time two more polytechnic high schools were opened, the POS V "Werner Seelenbinder" in 1970 and the POS VI "Feliks Dzierzynski" in 1975. The extended high school was converted in 1982 into the seventh polytechnic high school.

After the fall of the Wall , the Lenin High School and the Nadezhda Krupskaya High School were converted into Realschulen, the Erich Weinert High School into the Paul Fahlisch High School and the remaining polytechnic high schools into elementary schools. The first elementary school on Schulstrasse was closed on July 31, 1991 due to structural and hygienic deficiencies. The former Nadezhda-Krupskaja-Oberschule is now the Ehm-Welk-Oberschule, in the Jenaplanhaus (the former Lenin-Oberschule) a primary school has been housed since 2005.
