history

History of the city

From the 14th century to the present

City Church

Earlier spellings of Lübenheen were Lubbtene, Lübbetene, Lubbetin, Lipten and Lübthen . The name, which comes from Slavic , is declared either as "Place des Lubeta" or as " Lindenort ".

The place was first mentioned on August 14, 1363, when Duke Albrecht V bought the Lauenburg half of the Jabel Heath from Heinrich von der Sude. Around 1650 the remaining farms were sold, so that Lübenheen now completely belonged to Mecklenburg .

In 1683 Lübenheen received its own parish and was no longer part of the Alt Jabel parish . The first church, a half-timbered building with a tower and bell, was consecrated in 1689. In 1820 a new building was built in the classical style. The church organ, which has been extensively renovated in recent years, is particularly valuable. It is the largest surviving organ from the organ builder Friedrich Friese I from Parchim with two manuals .

In 1846 30 houses were destroyed by fire. In 1890 the Malliss – Lübenheen railway was opened, but was discontinued in 1945. In 1938 the town was granted city rights. The inner city has been completely renovated since 1991 as part of the urban development subsidy.

Hugo Sholto Graf Douglas was commissioned by the Grand Ducal Mecklenburg-Schwerin government in 1896 to develop and exploit the potash salt warehouse located under a layer of gypsum near Lübenheen and Jessenitz. The Mecklenburg Trade Union Friedrich Franz , whose main shareholder was the Grand Duke himself, was founded and in 1906 the mine (Friedrich Franz shaft) was opened. The shaft had to be closed again in 1916 due to massive water ingress. In the potash and rock salt mine Jessenitz were from 1900 to the flooding of the mine in 1912 supported 1.4 million tons of coal and potash.

In 1849 a copy of the Wendish crown was found near Lübheen . The find of the hoop differs from others of its kind by its considerable size and the manufacture in hollow casting.

With the emergence of potash mining around the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, workers began to organize here too. The miner Franz Thaele, a social democrat, who came to Lübheen from the Staßfurt potash district, oriented the miners working there to advocate for their interests and in 1902 founded a local association of the SPD . In its wake, the Veritas 03 workers' gymnastics club was founded in 1903 and the Solidarity cycling club a little later . A plaque commemorates Thaeles home at Johannesstrasse 2.

From 1952 to 1994 Lübenheen belonged to the Hagenow district (until 1990 in the GDR district of Schwerin , 1990–1994 in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). In 1994 the city was incorporated into the Ludwigslust district. Since the district reform in 2011 , it has been in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district .

On June 13, 2004, the office of Lübenheen - consisting of the independent municipalities Garlitz, Gößlow, Jessenitz and the city of Lübenheen - was dissolved, the three municipalities were incorporated into the now office- free city ​​of Lübenheen.

Potash salt deposits in and around Lübenheen

Location of the former gypsum quarry on the bottom of which the “Friedrich Franz” shaft was sunk

Towards the end of the 19th century began in Mecklenburg searching for potash deposits after it had succeeded in various chemists that in Staßfurter encountered mines potash processing fabrikatorisch so that the contained in these salts potassium extracted for the production of fertilizers used could be. After almost 15 years of work, the "Herzog Regent" shaft of the Jessenitz potash and rock salt mine was completed in May 1901 . In 1905, the "Friedrich Franz" shaft of the potash and rock salt mine in Lübheen went into operation . The first shaft suffered a water ingress in 1912; Schacht "Friedrich Franz" shared this fate only four years later.

Lignite deposits around Lübenheen

In 1928, diatomaceous charcoal was first encountered at Lübenheen. This type of lignite is a brown-black deposit at depths of 40 to 400 meters that formed about six to eight million years ago. The resulting during the combustion of the ash is Diatomeenkohle impure kieselguhr . The coal has a very low calorific value (approx. 50 percent compared to the comparison coal) and an extremely high ash content.

The exploration of the deposit was already well advanced in the GDR, an open-cast mine development was postponed until 2010 (project "Objekt22"). By 1989 the research had cost over 30 million GDR marks.

1994 presented MIBRAG an application for exploration of the deposit, issued in 1997, the Mining Authority Stralsund MIBRAG permission for geological studies. The Schwerin Chamber of Industry and Commerce sought to advance the exploration of the deposits with the symposium “Diatomaceous Coal Deposits Lübheen” (1996, revised 2005). There it was stated: "The conditions of the deposit require a large open-cast mine with a production rate that far exceeds the requirements of a factory [...] alone".

The information on the size of the occurrence fluctuates. At the IHK symposium there was talk of 15 billion tons for the entire occurrence around Lübenheen, this size increased to 19 billion tons. The Schwerin Chamber of Commerce and Industry named the value of 300 million tons for the technically and economically minable deposit, while the Schweriner Volkszeitung reported a value of 1.8 billion tons (on 42 km²).

Since April 2005 loose associations, initiatives and associations like the citizens' movement “Braunkohle-kein e. V. ”against the further advancement of the mine project.

Former military training area

The German Armed Forces maintained a military training area on the Lübheener Heide until the summer of 2013 . In June 2015, the Lübenheener Heide with an area of ​​6,280 hectares was placed under nature protection. At the end of June 2019, the biggest fire in the history of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania occurred there.

History of the districts

Quassel was a fief of the von Lützow family until 1721 . The estate was then owned by the Eickstedt von Peterswaldt families (until 1755), von Paepcke (until 1901), Gustav Aufschläger (until 1934) and Fritz Homann (until 1945). Then an LPG ran the farm. The renovated Quassel manor was built in 1857 and received its neo-Gothic facade in 1886 . After 1945 it was a party school of the SED , then a district agricultural school and is now an office and residential building.

Volzrade was settled around a tower hill in the former manor park around 1200. The von Pentz family owned the estate from 1363 to 1945 . The knight's castle was destroyed in the 16th century, and Lewin von Pentz built a mansion in 1592, which burned down in 1618. Around 1640 Curd von Pentz built the second manor house as well as a windmill and a sheep farm. In 1827 the house burned down, and in 1838 the third mansion was rebuilt in the neo-renaissance style according to plans by JH Gottfried Krug and in 1863 an additional floor was made. After 1945 the building was a community center with a sales point. It was privatized and renovated in 1994.

Incorporations

The formerly independent municipalities of Garlitz, Gößlow and Jessenitz were incorporated into the city of Lübenheen on June 13, 2004.

Population development

The population increase in Lübenheen was interrupted by the Thirty Years War . The population figures have been declining since 1990 and there has been a labor migration and a surplus of men, in the 2010s, however, a recovery has been recorded, which also results from the integration into the metropolitan region of Hamburg .

Blazon : "Split, in front a silver mallet and a silver iron crossed diagonally in front, behind in silver on a half green hill a half green fir tree at the crack, on the trunk of which a red lion is erected."

Mallets and irons as symbols of mining are reminiscent of the Lübenheen gypsum open-cast mine and the mining of potash . The upright red lion on the green fir tree is the talking coat of arms for the Counts of Dannenberg, who were the former rulers of the area.

The coat of arms was redrawn in 1995 by the Schwerin heraldist Heinz Kippnick .
