Interpretation of the place name

Lindena means something like settlement in the Lindenaue . This was proven by Ernst Eichler's research on place names in 1975.

Local history

Lindena was first mentioned in a document on May 3, 1228. At that time the entire property belonged to the Dobrilugk Monastery . In the document of Margrave Heinrich the Illustrious of July 22nd, 1234, the street village of Lindenowe , which was founded by German settlers around 1200 and located on the Kleine Elster , appears as the property of the Dobrilugk monastery , as does Schonenborn and many other villages. After the introduction of the Reformation it remained with the rule and the later princely office of Dobrilugk.

According to a report from 1723, the Immediatamtsdorf was occupied by 25 hoppers and 13 gardeners. The church was, as it is today, Filia von Schonenburn under sovereign patronage .

In 1740 Friedrich Seidel introduced the inn trade in Lindena. The village got a school at the beginning of the 19th century and the forecourt was planted with linden and chestnut trees.

In 1998, Lindena merged with the neighboring villages of Schönborn, Gruhno and Schadewitz to form the municipality of Schönborn.

In August 2003 Lindena celebrated the 775th anniversary of the first mention of the village.

The church

Interior of the church
Lindena Farm Museum

The Lindena village church is a three-aisled basic church. The rectangular altar house with its semicircular apse adjoining the nave in the east does not reach the width of the central nave, in contrast to the tower facing the entire western front. With regard to the design of the floor plan, apart from features of a constructive or formal nature, the first half of the 13th century can be assumed as the time of origin for the core of the church. The interior of the church has galleries on three sides which, like the stalls, have a modern painting. A rare piece of equipment is the late Romanesque sandstone baptism.

Lindena Farm Museum

The farmer's museum in Lindena was founded in 1986 on the initiative of the teacher Tuband and his pupil class. A farmhouse was created from the building, which was actually left to decay, as is customary for the area. The museum facility documents the rural way of working and living in earlier decades. It will u. a. Wedding dresses and household appliances are on display, including agricultural implements such as old scythes and flails . The simple and modest rural life can be experienced through the originally furnished living room, the kitchen, the bedroom or the laundry room. A special feature is the classroom in the attic with school desks and slate boards . The museum is housed on a typical farm with stables and barns, in which the larger and smaller tools of the farmers are.

War memorial

The Lindena war memorial is in the form of a stele on a four-tiered base. On the four sides there are panels with a dedication and the names of those who died in the First World War . At the foot of the monument there is a plaque for the victims of the Second World War .
