history
The place Lindenau was probably created around 1200. During this time the area between Schwarzer Elster and Pulsnitz was drained and the village of Lindenau was founded. In 1346 Lindenau appeared in a first document as an independent parish office. In 1392 Lindenau belonged to the Milzemie district. It is likely that the estate and village were founded as a street village by the knights of Lindenau , who belonged to the nobility of the then Mark Meißen . The layout of the village, which indicates a Germanic settlement, supports this assumption. A tree (linden) served as a coat of arms and a seal. The place name developed from Lindenaw in 1495 via Lyndenaw in 1498 and 1551 to Lindenau .
In 1881 a major fire destroyed the old Lindenau, which had consisted of reed-covered houses. Stone farmhouses in rural Art Nouveau style from the turn of the century then shaped the village center. The discovery of lignite near Lauchhammer from 1900, the associated industrialization and the settlement of families from the former German areas east of the Oder-Neisse border after 1945 almost doubled the population.
Administrative history
Lindenau, which until then belonged to the Electorate and later Kingdom of Saxony , came to the Kingdom of Prussia through the Congress of Vienna in 1815 . The municipality became part of the district of Hoyerswerda in the province of Silesia . Lindenau was the westernmost place in Silesia. Since the district was west of the Oder-Neisse line , it became part of the Soviet occupation zone in 1945 and incorporated into the state of Saxony . In 1952 Lindenau came to the newly founded Senftenberg district in the GDR - Cottbus district (1990-1993 in the state of Brandenburg). Since the district reform in 1993 , the community has been in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district.
On May 19, 1974 Lindenau was together with the adjacent Frauendorf after Tettau incorporated. On May 6, 1990, both were spun off from Tettau and became independent communities. Since 1992 they have belonged to the Ortrand office.

Attractions
Lindenau Castle
The Lindenau Castle is located on the western outskirts of the community (Platz der Einheit). It is built on the entrance side in the Renaissance style, the park side presents itself as a three-wing baroque complex . It has a gatehouse with a mansard hipped roof and ridge turrets as well as a castle and village church. A moat surrounds the building. A baroque hood sits on the castle tower.
The castle was built in 1584 by Loth Gotthard von Minckwitz (1611–1678), presumably on the foundations of an old moated castle. After the Thirty Years' War , the gatehouse was built in 1690, giving the castle the character of a castle . The baroque garden was laid out by the von Gersdorff family from 1736 . The Saxon Minister Heinrich Graf von Brühl bought the castle as early as 1744 . In 1833 his descendants sold the building to Rochus Ernst zu Lynar (Count's line), and through marriage in 1917 the castle came to the princes of Lynar. In 1920 the castle was extended by two neo-baroque side wings.
In 1945 the royal family was expropriated. The building was then used for teacher training, and from 1953 to 1998 it was used as a children's home. Lindenau Castle was sold to the Berlin senior citizens 'home operator ProCuro GmbH in 1998, but the intended establishment of a senior citizens' residence in the palace could not be realized, and the building has been empty since then. As early as 2008, the owner had announced that restoration work on the castle would soon begin with the aim of removing the structural changes made for use as a children's home and restoring it to its original state. A 23-hectare English landscape park is attached to the palace complex, the main features of which were created around 1881.
