history
First documentary mention and interpretation of the place name
The village of Lichterfeld was first mentioned in the year 1474 as Lichtinfeld . The current place name of Lichterfeld appears as early as 1505 . The place name means something like village in a bright, sunlit field . The place was parish after Betten , which was originally under the superintendent of Grossenhain .
The Lichterfelder Pechhütte
Lichterfeld owned a bad luck hut . This was, however, a little south of the village in the meanwhile devastated village of Gohra, which later became Bergheide . This pitch hut was mentioned as early as 1630. The Gohraer Pechhütte was not far from their location. The Lichterfelde Pechhütte also came to Gohra in 1898 when it was connected to the area.
Lichterfeld mill history
A watermill also belonged to the Lichterfelder Pechhütte. Its location was once exactly on the Lichterfeld boundary with Gohra. This watermill, which had only one gear, appears on the historical maps of Matthias Oeder (1594) and Balthasar Zimmermann (1600). It can also be found on a map by Schenk in 1781. Later, only the name of the hallway called Verwallen Mühlchen reminded of this mill. The historic mill location then also came to Gohra in 1898. Another watermill was the Lapatsch mill , also known as the bush mill . This mill, named after its former owner, was located at the drainage ditch of the Lichterfeld vineyard pond and was mentioned in a document as early as 1575. The later mill owner Hans Zwygk (1694) relocated the mill to the later known location. There it remained in the family for a long time, although the spelling of the name changed to Zwick over time. As the last mill owner, Eduard Lieske was mentioned in a chronicle around 1900.
The Zwick family set up a brandy distillery at the mill site at the beginning of the 19th century . In addition, a brick factory, a new house and a fulling mill were built here at that time . In 1865 an oil mill and a cutting mill were added.
There were also two windmills in Lichterfeld . Which appeared in maps by Oeder and Zimmermann as early as 1594 and 1600 . Around 1700 even four windmills are said to have existed in the village. For the years 1875 and 1877, three windmills can still be found.
Lichterfeld and the brown coal
The place experienced an economic boom with the development of the extensive brown coal deposits in the region from the middle of the 19th century. The Helene and Hellda lignite mines were built on the Lichterfeld corridor . The Helene mine was opened in 1875. Their location was near the Lichterfelder Pechhütte on the boundary of Gohra. Another company was the Theresienhütte , which later gave its name to the part of the municipality of the same name east of the town of Lichterfeld. In the meantime, however, it was called Klinkerwerk until 1995 .
Ultimately, the extensive brown coal deposits near Lichterfeld almost became the town's undoing. The thickness of the coal seam here is between nine and twelve meters. In addition, it is comparatively high quality. At the beginning of the 1980s, preparations began south of the town to open up the new opencast mine for the Klettwitz-Nord opencast mine , which was to replace the Klettwitz opencast mine . The open-cast mine was opened in 1988 and an assembly site for the large-scale technology required was created near Lichterfeld. Lichterfeld lost a large part of its municipal area through the opencast mine. The southern town of Bergheide was eventually devastated. In 1985 there were 290 residents here. In February 1991 the conveyor bridge F 60, which is considered to be the largest mobile work machine in the world, went into operation and the opencast mine reached its peak in December of the same year. As a result of the turnaround , the briquette factories and power plants in the Lauchhammer area have now been closed. The need for raw coal fell drastically. The conveyor bridge was shut down again in June 1992. In December 1992 the last coal was finally mined in the Klettwitz-Nord opencast mine.
The large-scale technology of the opencast mine was relocated to other opencast mining fields or scrapped. The Klettwitz-Nord opencast mine became a mining rehabilitation area. The F 60 conveyor bridge was also to be scrapped. It was considered a huge investment ruin. Regional initiatives achieved that the financial means already available for the intended scrapping were ultimately used for the maintenance of the bridge. On February 19, 2000, the bridge was moved a few hundred meters from its decommissioning location to its current location. On September 1, 2000, then Federal Chancellor Gerhard Schröder visited Lichterfeld.
On September 7, 2001, the Lausitzer und Mitteldeutsche Bergbau-Verwaltungsgesellschaft (LMBV) finally began to flood the remaining hole in the former Klettwitz-Nord opencast mine and the Bergheider See was created , the flooding of which was ended in May 2014.
As a visitor mine, the Lichterfeld conveyor bridge became one of the external projects of the World Exhibition Expo 2000 in Hanover and finally a project of the international building exhibition “Fürst-Pückler-Land” (2000–2010). Today it is a regional magnet for visitors.

politics
District representation
Since December 31, 1997, Lichterfeld has been a district of Lichterfeld-Schacksdorf. The mayor is currently Norbert Richter.
Administrative affiliation
Lichterfeld originally belonged to the Finsterwalde dominion and thus later to the Finsterwalde Electoral Office .
According to the regulations of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Lichterfeld then moved from the Kingdom of Saxony to the Frankfurt administrative district of the Prussian province of Brandenburg and the Luckau district was created in 1816 . In 1830 the Finsterwalde office was dissolved and Lichterfeld and the villages of Betten , Lindthal , Massen , Naundorf , Nehesdorf and Tanneberg were assigned to the Dobrilugk Rent Office . In 1848 the Finsterwalde Rent Office was created, to which Lichterfeld also belonged. In 1874, however, this office, like the Dobrilugk office, was finally dissolved. With the territorial reform carried out in the GDR in 1952, Lichterfeld came to the newly founded Finsterwalde district .
After the fall of the Wall , Lichterfeld was initially in the Finsterwalde district . As a result of the district reform in Brandenburg on December 6, 1993 , the community of Lichterfeld was assigned to the newly founded district of Elbe-Elster , where the community merged with the neighboring community of Schacksdorf to form Lichterfeld-Schacksdorf on December 31, 1997.
