geography

Location Lauchhammers am Schraden

Geographical location

The city is located in Niederlausitz . Lauchhammer is located 45 kilometers north of Dresden . Cottbus is about 50 kilometers away, the distance to the singer town Finsterwalde is about 25 kilometers. The altitude ranges from 94 to 160 m above sea ​​level .

The city lies on the Black Elster , a tributary of the Elbe .

Urban area

Due to numerous incorporations, the urban area extends over more than 88 square kilometers.

There is a large number of large forest and meadow areas between the individual parts of the city and district. Due to the lignite mining, there are numerous post-mining landscapes both in the urban area and outside the city . These largely determine the appearance of the area around the city. The Grünewalder Lauch recreation area is located in the Grünewalde district . The lake was filled in in 1981 as a former open-cast mine and has developed into an important local recreation area in recent years.

In addition to the Grünewalder Leek, there are three other ponds: the Wolschinkateich, the Kuthteich and the Wehlenteich. The latter two are located in the 16 hectare forest and meadow area, also known as the Green Center , between Lauchhammer-Mitte and Lauchhammer-Süd.

history

Today's Lauchhammer was created on July 1, 1950 as a large community from the amalgamation of the communities of Bockwitz, Lauchhammer, Mückenberg and Dolsthaida. Lauchhammer is a comparatively young town and was only granted town charter on July 5, 1953.

From its incorporation in 1974 to its rededication in September 2014, the Kleinleipisch district was the fifth district to be run under the name Lauchhammer-Nord. In 1993 the villages Kostebrau and Grünewalde were incorporated into the city as new districts.

With its long mining tradition, Lauchhammer is one of the oldest industrial locations in the state of Brandenburg. The industrial history in the area of ​​the current city began as early as 1725 with the construction of a lawn iron works based on charcoal and peat at a remote mill. This work on the leek ponds - the hammer in the leek  - gave the city its current name.

On 17 July 1725, issued Saxon Elector Augustus the Strong of Baroness von Löwendal the privilege of establishing an iron hammer mill in Lauchhammer with a blast furnace and a small foundry. After the founder's death in 1776, it became the property of her godchild, Count Detlev Carl von Einsiedel . An art foundry was established in 1784, and in 1785 the enamelling of iron dishes began.

In 1789 the first coal seam was drilled near Bockwitz - today's Lauchhammer-Mitte. This is also the first written reference to the Niederlausitz brown coal . Numerous coal mines have been built since the middle of the 19th century, including the Milly mine . Around 1900 the city began to become more industrialized. In that year BUBIAG (brown coal and briquette industrial corporation) was founded. In the period that followed, numerous jobs were created in the mining and manufacturing industries. This led to increased population growth and the establishment of new residential areas. From 1906, the Bubiag implemented an initial settlement program for the workers and their families. The Grundhof , which is now a listed building , was built in 1919 .

In 1912 the first high-voltage line in Europe (110 kV) was built between Lauchhammer and Gröba near Riesa .

From 1898, briquettes were produced in the first briquette factory . In total there were eight briquette factories and a coking plant in the city . In the coking plant Lauchhammer 1952 succeeded in the world's first attempt from lignite hut capable coke ( Braunkohlenhochtemperaturkoks ) to produce. In 1993 the last factory was shut down.

The imposing construction of the overburden conveyor bridge F60 (series of the largest moving machines in the world) near Lichterfeld is evidence of the earlier lignite mining . It was manufactured in the heavy machinery Lauchhammerwerk of TAKRAF .

Lauchhammer is also known as the city of art casting . It also has a very long tradition in the city. The first iron art casting was carried out in 1784. An art and bell foundry is still operated in the city today .

Bathtubs have been manufactured in Lauchhammer since 1880 . Between 1968, when a new bathtub foundry was built, and 1989, all bathtubs for the GDR market were manufactured in the Lauchhammer plant. While the tubs were made of cast iron until the mid-1990s, the much lighter acrylic is used today.

On May 25, 2009, the city received the title “ Place of Diversity ” awarded by the federal government .

Lauchhammer and the communities that were incorporated later belonged to the Liebenwerda district in the Prussian province of Saxony since 1817 (from 1947 in the newly established state of Saxony-Anhalt ). In 1952, the city came to the district Senftenberg in the GDR - district Cottbus (1990-1993 in Brandenburg). Since the district reform in 1993 it has been in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district.

coat of arms

The first city coat of arms was approved by the Lauchhammer City Council in the spring of 1953. The coat of arms showed a black hammer in a red circle and a black briquette stone on a gold shield, in front of a blue cloth. Two ears of wheat could be seen above it.

The hammer stood for the ironworks, the briquette brick for lignite mining, the ears of corn for the importance of agriculture for the city. The blue cloth was related to the yellow sign and was meant to symbolize youth and peace struggle at the same time.

After the political change, a new coat of arms should be designed. Mayor Christian Häntzka commissioned citizens of the city to do this. The new coat of arms, initially provided with a crown, was designed by Rudolf Armer and after a resolution passed by the city council, it was approved on June 3, 1992. A modified version without the crown has been approved since October 24, 2001.

Blazon : “In a divided shield, split at the top, in front a silver lion (leopard) turned to the left, looking ahead, behind in green a growing natural hermit in a silver robe, in the left a golden rosary, in the right a silver grave hoe natural style, accompanied by three golden ears on both sides. In the lower golden field there is a black hammer mechanism. "

The lion is a symbol of the von Löwendahl family who shaped the city, the hermit stands for the family of the Counts of Einsiedel . The ears of corn surrounding the hermit symbolize agriculture, the hammer mill stands for the importance of the various ironworks in the city.

Since the entire economy and infrastructure of the city was linked to lignite mining in Lusatia , the city's overall economic situation has deteriorated considerably since 1989. More than 15,000 people lost their jobs as a result of the closure of the opencast mines, lignite factories and the coking plant. Lauchhammer has had one of the highest unemployment rates in the region for years.

This development could only be partly stopped by the settlement of new companies. The business location is one of 15 regional growth centers in the state of Brandenburg. This promotes selected future-oriented industries.

Established businesses

The most important companies in the city include:

traffic

Lauchhammer is located on federal highway 169 between Elsterwerda and Senftenberg and on state road  63 between Staupitz and Ortrand . The closest motorway junction is Ruhland on the A 13 Berlin - Dresden .

The newspaper that appears in the area with regional editions is the Lausitzer Rundschau . The private regional television broadcaster Stadtkanal Lauchhammer (WMZ TV Lauchhammer), based directly in Lauchhammer, reaches around 12,000 households in Lauchhammer, Kostebrau, Ortrand, Plessa and Schraden via the cable television network.

Sports

do gymnastics

The gymnastics is a sport that had quite an early stage established in what is now the city of Lauchhammer. As early as August 1893, the civil gymnastics club "Edelweiß" was founded in Bockwitz. Two years later, the first gymnastics area was set up in Brunnenstrasse and gymnastics was to develop into an integral part of the sport in the Mückenberger Ländchen in the following years. Other notable clubs in the country were the men's gymnastics club, MTV for short, Bockwitz "Gut Heil", the Bockwitz workers gymnastics club founded in 1908 and the "Freie Turnerschaft" Kleinleipisch. A first gym, which was created by converting a barn that was previously used for gymnastics, was in 1907 on the property of the “Goldener Löwe” inn (today a community center) in Bockwitz. After taking part in the 1st Federal Festival of the Workers' Gymnastics and Sports Association (ATSB) in Leipzig in 1922 with around 100 athletes, the “1st ” was now held in Bockwitz. District gymnastics and sports festival ”. Competitions and other sporting events were also held in the other neighboring communities in the Ländchen (Mückenberg, Dolsthaida, Nauendorf, Kleinleipisch). Due to the Second World War, gymnastics finally came to a standstill for some time.

After the resumption of gymnastics in Lauchhammer in August 1945, it developed into a talent factory for competitive sports in the GDR. In addition to numerous titles in the youth field, athletes who started their sporting career in Lauchhammer have won numerous national and international titles. The successful tradition of Lauchhammeran gymnastics has been continued since 1992 by the gymnastics club Lauchhammer 92 , TGV 92 for short, which emerged from the gymnastics section, the BSG activist Lauchhammer .

basketball

Lauchhammer had a reputation as a basketball stronghold during the GDR . Today's basketball community (BG) Lauchhammer 1950 emerged from the basketball section of the former company sports community Motor Lauchhammer Ost, which was founded in 1950. The team played in the GDR basketball league.

The Lauchhammeraner basketball players could not build on their old successes after 1990. The men's team is currently (as of 2019) playing in the Brandenburg Oberliga , while the women's team was withdrawn from the 2007/2008 season after being promoted to the 2nd Regionalliga Nord . After re-establishing a women's team, the 2012/2013 season ended with the championship title of the Oberliga Brandenburg. In recent years, the club has been able to fight for more than 50 championship titles in the adult and junior division, making it one of the most successful basketball clubs in Brandenburg.

Personalities

Bust of Benedicta Margareta Freifrau von Löwendal in Lauchhammer

Honorary citizens of Lauchhammer are the local history researcher Rudolf Armer (1916–1993), who received the honorary citizenship letter for his research into the city's history in 1993, and the nature conservationist Werner Blaschke (* 1932). Blaschke received the honorary citizen's letter in 1999 for his decades of nature conservation work.

The name of the Benedicta Margareta Freifrau von Löwendal (1683–1776) is closely connected with Lauchhammer , as it was through her work here that she created the foundations for the town of Lauchhammer in the Mückenberger Ländchen, which exists today. The wife of the Saxon court marshal Woldemor von Löwendal (1660-1740) moved in 1716 her residence from Dresden to Mückenberg. The Baroness von Löwendal created the basis for the further development of the city in 1725 with the establishment of a hammer mill, the Lauchhammerwerk. She thus became one of the first women entrepreneurs in Niederlausitz. The baroness, who also owned the Saathain rulership , worked in the region for more than 51 years .

When she died in Mückenberg in 1776, the noblewoman bequeathed her property to her godchild Detlev Carl Graf von Einsiedel (1737–1810). As an entrepreneur, the politician followed in the footsteps of the Baroness von Löwendal. Through his commitment, he pushed the development of iron processing and art casting in Lauchhammer. On behalf of Detlev Carl von Einsiedel, for example, Thaddäus Ignatius Wiskotschill and Joseph Mattersberger succeeded in casting an ancient figure of a bacchante in iron that had been cast in wax. The Count was followed by his son Detlev von Einsiedel (1773–1863). He too became a politician and a successful ironworker. Two other personalities in the local iron industry were Johann Friedrich Trautschold (1773–1842), chief factor, smelter and company writer at the ironworks, and Traugott Leberecht Hasse (1775–1853), who was born in Bockwitz . The mining scientist had once received his practical training at the Lauchhammer ironworks in Counts Einsiedel.

The popular children's and young adult book author Benno Pludra (1925–2014), the “Schradenmaler” Walter Besig (1869–1950) and the actors Gunter Sonneson (* 1943), Petra Kalkutschke (* 1961) and Thomas were among those who worked as cultural figures Gumpert (* 1951) made a name. Siegfried Krepps (1930–2013) sculptural, urban history and often very important works in public space can be found in numerous places in Berlin and other cities. The Kleinleipischer teacher Otto Bornschein (1866-1936) is considered to be one of the founders of regional homeland research in the former district of Liebenwerda . His gravestone is near the train station on the site of the former cemetery in Lauchhammer-West . As a musician, the Lauchhammeran artist Ecki Lipske (* 1961) stood out as the guitarist of the rock band electra, which was popular in GDR times .

As a sports city, Lauchhammer has and continues to produce numerous successful names. In gymnastics were athletes such as Alex Niemann (1911-1964, multiple gaume master and bronze medalist at the Eastern Zone Championships in gymnastics in 1949 ), Heinz-Otto Werner (multiple GDR champion 1953/1954), Magdalena Schmidt (bronze medal winner at the Olympic Summer Games 1968 ), Bernd Schiller (* 1948, bronze medal winner with the GDR team at the 1970 World Championships ), Annelore Zinke (* 1968), world champion on uneven bars in 1974 and Jana Fuhrmann (* 1968, bronze medal winner with the GDR team at the 1985 World Championships ). In football, for example, it was the GDR Oberliga players Bernd Deutschmann (* 1953), Bernd Müller (* 1955) and Svend Fochler (* 1966). Successful boxers from Lauchhammer were Achim Brauske (* 1943, bronze medal at the 1971 European Middleweight Championship), Mario Veit (* 1973, professional) and Stefan Härtel (* 1988, professional). Annett Neumann (* 1970) worked as a railway cyclist successful and in basketball was Sabine Loewe Hannatzsch (* 1982) national player .
