history

Limberg was first mentioned in 1389 as Lyndenberg . The place name refers to a village on a mountain overgrown with linden trees. At the time it was first mentioned, Limberg was part of the Lower Lusatia margravate and thus belonged to the Bohemian crown lands . The ownership in the place changed frequently. In the past, the population lived mostly from agriculture and were obliged to serve the landlords and had to pay taxes to them. With the Peace of Prague , Lower Lusatia, and therefore Limberg, came to the Electorate of Saxony . Since Limberg bordered Cottbus in the east , the place was a Prussian-Saxon border town until 1806.

Fallen memorial

After the division of the Kingdom of Saxony decided at the Congress of Vienna , Limberg came to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 . Since the following year the place belonged to the district Cottbus in the administrative district Frankfurt of the province Brandenburg . In 1844 there were 44 residential buildings in Limberg, which were inhabited by 246 residents. The manor belonging to the village was owned by the von Loeben family at that time . Ecclesiastically Limberg belonged to Krieschow. In 1867 Limberg had 293 inhabitants, the manor belonged to a merchant from Calau . Until the 20th century, Limberg was a predominantly Sorbian-speaking village. For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a population of 300 for Limberg in the 1880s, of which 292 were Sorbs (97%) and eight were Germans. There was a school in Limberg at the end of the 19th or beginning of the 20th century. Furthermore, a brickworks north-west of the town center is shown in the basemap from this period .

In 1890 the municipality of Limberg had 310 inhabitants, five years later the Limberg manor had 32 inhabitants. In 1903/08, the Limberg manor was incorporated into the rural community. On December 1, 1910, the rural community Limberg had 379 inhabitants. On July 25, 1952, the community was assigned to the newly formed Cottbus-Land district in the Cottbus district . In 1956, Ernst Tschernik still had a Sorbian-speaking population of 26.4%. After reunification , Limberg was in the Cottbus district in Brandenburg . After the district reform in Brandenburg on December 6, 1993 , the community came to the newly formed Spree-Neisse district and was at the same time incorporated into the greater Kolkwitz community .

Limberg has seen a strong population increase in recent years . After the city had 383 inhabitants after the fall of the Wall, in 2006 there were already twice as many with 742 inhabitants.
