List of cultural monuments in Bröthen / Michalken

Map with all coordinates: OSM | WikiMap

The list of cultural monuments in Bröthen / Michalken contains the cultural monuments of the Bröthen / Michalken district of the Saxon city of Hoyerswerda , which were recorded by the State Office for Monument Preservation of Saxony until August 2017 (excluding archaeological cultural monuments). The notes are to be observed.

First mentioned as Pritthun in 1401 and belonging to the Hoyerswerda estate, Bröthen was parish after Hoyerswerda and was incorporated into the city in 1993. Since there are many clay deposits in the municipality, more and more modern brickworks were built. Between 1732 and 1903 there were 12 fires. Although the structure of the village is authentic as a street village with striped corridors resembling a winch and courtyards built on both sides of the street, the individual buildings are often more recent. The one or two-storey houses and the one-storey outbuildings (pull-out houses) usually face the street with the gable and border a courtyard with the barn at the back and the front courtyard wall, whereby the buildings are almost always built next to each other. There is often another barn at the back of the property. Brick, which was left unplastered, served as building material.

	Stone cross	(east of the village, extended Schäferweg, way to Hoyerswerda) (map)	15-17 century	The legend reports that a robbery and murder took place at this point, in which the murderer stole three pfennigs. The cross was smashed once and put back together again. It bears witness to a very old tradition in which a stone or a cross is used to remind of a sad event. It is also a witness of medieval jurisprudence. That is why it is historically and locally significant.	08975799
More pictures	Water tower on the Adler with parts of the original technical equipment	Am Wasserturm 1 (map)	1914/1915	High-quality designed tower structure that characterizes the landscape, of technical and local significance, containers no longer exist, parts of the technical equipment on the ground floor (pump with electric motor, pipelines) have been preserved	08975768
	Atelier building of a brick factory and side wall with gate	Dresdener Strasse 100 (map)	1920s	Since there are many clay deposits in the area of the former municipality of Bröthen / Michalken, brickworks were built - first small ovens, later ring kilns. The measuring table sheet from 1937 shows four brickworks along the main street: the easternmost brickworks is the Weistsche brickworks south of the main street, which was counted as part of Michalken (another brickworks immediately to the west of it must have gone into the Weistsche), then the brickworks of Einigkeit north of the Main street and opposite to the south of the main street the Lorenzsche brickworks and to the far west and also north of the main street the brickworks Stegmann. The protected studio building of a brickworks with a wall on the side with a gate, everything in clinker brick with the most sophisticated Art Deco design, belongs to the Weist brickworks and was therefore assigned to Michalken. The cubature of the studio building is simple - the building rises above a simple rectangular floor plan with only one, slightly higher storey and a gable roof. This gable roof is towed backwards in such a way that it makes a bend to a flatter slope. The front long side is open with a large studio window. There is only a small window at the back. One gable side has a door that is designed with a pointed arch and an artful clinker frame as well as a no less artful door leaf in a Gothic-inspired Art Deco style. The entrance to the factory probably runs past the other gable end. Here the front wall of the house is pulled out, with a magnificent portal in the pull-out, followed by a protrusion, possibly a porter's house. The building is artistically extremely rare and significant. Local history and economic history take a back seat.	08975737
	Gatekeeper house and outbuilding (shed)	Flugplatzstrasse 54 (map)	Around 1900	On June 1, 1874, the Falkenberg - Hoyerswerda - Kohlfurt railway line (now Wegliniec / Poland) went into operation. The gatekeeper house and the outbuilding (shed) were probably built at the same time north of Bröthen and west of Hoyerswerda. The house has a small rectangular floor plan on two floors with a jamb floor. It has a flat gable roof protruding far. The shed is also two-story. Downstairs was a small stable, upstairs was storage for hay and straw. So the gatekeeper could improve his existence by keeping small animals. These are typical buildings of the time, like the ones that the railway almost always built in brick. That is why the property is important in terms of railway history and building history	08975755
	Syringe house from Bröthen	Hauptstraße 10 (next to) (map)	Around 1900	As usual, a new syringe house for the hand pressure syringe was built in Bröthen in the late 19th century. It is located far south in the village. As with the residential buildings, hard-fired bricks were used as the material. The cracked gable roof protrudes far. The gable with the segment arch gate faces the street. The house has been authentically preserved, the roof has been re-covered with plain tiles, but unfortunately verge stones were also used. The syringe house has a historical, fire-fighting and local historical value.	08975767
	Memorial to the fallen soldiers of the First World War in Bröthen	Hauptstraße 16 (in front of) (map)	After 1918	As usual, after the First World War, a memorial for those who died in the First World War was erected in Bröthen. It is a stepped plinth, an upwardly tapering base with the inscription "In grateful memory dedicated by the municipality of Bröthen" and a large, also upwardly tapering stone with a list of the names of all those who fell, an iron cross and a Relief with helmet and saber. The war memorial is made of granite and is located at the southern end of the village street, where it expands. More recently, flanking stones with the names of the victims of the Second World War have been added. There is a historical significance.	08975765
	Barn (western construction) of a farm	Hauptstrasse 19 (map)	2nd half of the 19th century	The end of the farm to the road consists of an outbuilding with a passage. This building is changed in the picture, as is the house with its enlarged windows. Only the rear brick barn is under protection. This is part of a courtyard that has remained unchanged in its structure. So we encounter a landscape typical design with architectural and regional historical significance. Cancellation of the outbuilding (southern outbuilding) on April 13, 2011, as its monument value is too badly impaired.	08975764
	Courtyard wall (with archway and gate) and barn of a farm	Hauptstrasse 22 (map)	2nd half of the 19th century	The two-storey residential building is disturbed by the installation of enlarged windows in the picture, but like the one-storey parallel outbuilding in the walls and roof has been preserved. Only the rear barn, which, in contrast to the other buildings, remained unplastered and exposed to brick, and the courtyard wall with a large basket arch for the entrance and a smaller arch for the people are under protection. The barn and courtyard wall are part of a courtyard that has remained unchanged in its structure. So we encounter a landscape typical design with architectural and regional historical significance.	08975763
More pictures	Mill technology of a water mill	Hauptstrasse 27 (map)	19./20. Century (mill technology); 1874 (mill)	It is the Bröthen watermill. It is located in the northern part of the village to the west, behind the courtyards that line the road. Probably because the Mühlbach (often or always) did not have enough water, its water is dammed in a pond immediately behind the mill. Some of the mill buildings that exist today were probably not built until 1874. They are largely unchanged. However, only the completely preserved historical technical equipment of the mill, including the grinder, is under protection. The water drives an overshot water wheel with a diameter of 4.7 meters. Grain was ground in this way until the 1950s. It is of great importance for the history of technology.	08975757
	Barn (eastern construction) of a farm	Hauptstrasse 41 (map)	Before 1900	The house and the outbuilding - both on one floor - are disturbed by the installation of enlarged windows in the picture. Only the barn at the very back of the property is under protection, which in contrast to the other buildings remained unplastered and exposed to brick. This barn is part of a courtyard that has remained unchanged in its structure. In it we meet a typical landscape design with architectural and regional historical significance.	08975762
	Field barn of a farm	Hauptstrasse 42 (map)	Before 1900	The house and the outbuilding - both on one floor - are disturbed by the installation of enlarged windows in the picture. Only the barn at the very back of the property is under protection, which in contrast to the other buildings remained unplastered and exposed to brick. This barn is part of a courtyard that has remained unchanged in its structure. In it we meet a typical landscape design with architectural and regional historical significance.	08975761
	Farm with stable house, gatehouse (with upper arcade), side building and barn and field barn	Hauptstrasse 44 (map)	Late 19th century (farmhouse); 1824? (Gatehouse)	The completely unchanged farm is fully protected. The gable of the stable house and the gatehouse with a passage point to the street. The stable house is two-storey and built in exposed brick. The gatehouse presents itself to the outside as a plastered solid structure. On the inside, however, its upper floor consists of half-timbered houses with an upper arbor. The southern side building is characterized by several entrances with segmental arches in stables. The barn that closes the courtyard is massive and plastered. In terms of architectural history, the most remarkable thing about the gatehouse with the upper arbor is the half-timbered barn in the rear of the property. Here we find an authentically preserved courtyard with a typical landscape design. This applies to both its form and function as well as the building material. Two buildings are still in the older half-timbered construction, which otherwise often fell victim to the fires. The courtyard is of architectural and regional significance.	08975758
	"Drei Linden" inn	Hauptstrasse 46 (map)	Around 1850	The inn is in the middle of the village and is surrounded by streets. The other buildings on this "island" certainly belonged to the property. An inn can only have come into being later, as Schenk / Zürner do not mention either the inn or the tavern. The part under protection is a single-storey building with a gable roof, which is connected to the right with an auxiliary building that develops into the property at the rear. The facade design is elegant, late classicist, with tightly lined, rather high windows with straight roofs. The entrance on the penultimate axis from the right with a small open staircase also has a roof. The door is still the original with a skylight and two wings. Another entrance is located in the leftmost axis. There was a wooden vestibule here, which unfortunately was demolished after 2001. Above the third and fourth axes there is a two-axis massive roof house, the gable roof of which is integrated into the main roof. The rear courtyard side of the inn is heavily modified (not least due to the demolition of old additions). Nevertheless, the inn has an architectural and regional historical significance.	08975759
	Transformer tower station	Hauptstrasse 55 (next to) (map)	Around 1915	It is one of originally two transformer stations in the village, which date from the early days of Bröthen's electrification, i.e. probably from around 1915. The present transformer station is designed as a tower with a small square base, in accordance with its function as a link between the overhead lines of different voltage networks. As is typical of the region, hard-fired brick was used as the material for the walls and design. About two-thirds of the height there is a base with corner pilasters and a final cornice, and above that a slightly recessed part, which is designed with slightly cantilevered bricks at the corners and a now much finer cornice. A smooth wall and a steep gable roof follow above. The transformer tower is important in terms of local history and technology. Its structural form is evidence of the electrification of Bröthen. Tower station in the old town of Bröthen, slender tower building with a steep pitched roof made of light brick, facade in the lower part of the tower divided by corner pilasters, terminating with a belt cornice made of darker clinker, above that the tower corners are accentuated with perforated wall strips, a circumferential wall strip forms the conclusion of the facade design of the tower station , Transformation from medium to low voltage for the distribution of electrical energy in the local network using overhead lines.	08975766
	Side building (moving house) of a farm	Schäferweg 6 (map)	2nd half of the 19th century	Typical brick building in good original condition, two-storey with a crooked hip roof, beautiful cornice. Window with brick lintels. The house and courtyard are typical, authentically preserved witnesses to the regional architecture and are of architectural importance.	08975760

Remarks

This list is not suitable for deriving binding statements on the monument status of an object. As far as a legally binding determination of the listed property of an object is desired, the owner can apply to the responsible lower monument protection authority for a notice.
The official list of cultural monuments is never closed. It is permanently changed through clarifications, new additions or deletions. A transfer of such changes to this list is not guaranteed at the moment.
The monument quality of an object does not depend on its entry in this or the official list. Objects that are not listed can also be monuments.
Basically, the property of a monument extends to the substance and appearance as a whole, including the interior. Deviating applies if only parts are expressly protected (e.g. the facade).

↑ Water tower :
The first plans to build a municipal water supply in Hoyerswerda date back to 1892. The supply system, initially created using the natural gradient, consisted of a well, an elevated tank built in 1897 and a water line to several taps in the city area. Plots were later connected directly. Due to supply shortages, especially in the summer months, exploratory measures began in 1909 in the area around Bröthen and Neida, southwest of Hoyerswerda. After promising long-term pumping attempts in the following year, a provisional water pumping system was set up there before the construction of the actual waterworks in Neida could begin in 1913 after the land purchases were completed. The complex, which was completed in 1915, included the pumping station, the suction pipe network, a de-ironing system, a water tower and a service apartment for the foreman (first machine and later foreman was Bruno Vogt). The pumping system consisted of two centrifugal pumps driven by gas engines, which were operated alternately and pumped over 300 m³ of water per day. An electric motor was able to replace the gas engines at short notice. The water tower with its 250 m³ water tank was used for intermediate storage of the pumped water and ensured even water pressure in the 175 mm thick main line to Hoyerswerda. Plans to expand the waterworks, which were developed when the local water level fell in the 1930s, were no longer implemented due to the Second World War. In 1950, the municipal water supply was merged with the Niederlausitzer Wasserwerkgesellschaft to form the Lausitz water supply association (from 1952 VEB Wasserwirtschaft Oberelbe, Lausitz plant, from 1958 VEB Fernwasserversorgung Lausitz) and the Neida waterworks integrated into the larger supply network. After typhus incidents increased in the 1940s, presumably due to polluted water, the waterworks and with it the water tower that has been preserved to this day were finally shut down in 1951. A waterworks in Groß Zeißig that went into operation in 1952 now supplied the city of Hoyerswerda and the surrounding area with drinking water.
The water tower, a massive tower shaft that tapers towards the top with an only slightly cantilevered container storey and a pointed tent roof, has been preserved to this day and was rebuilt in 2000 for the restaurant. Today it is used for events. Its design probably corresponded to the demands of the homeland security movement and hid its technical function behind a cubature that blended into the surroundings. The predominantly plastered tower shaft made of brickwork has a clinker portal with fighters and keystones made of ashlar. The coat of arms above the latter - three green oak trees with leaves and fruits in silver on green hills - refers to the owner of the waterworks, the city of Hoyerswerda. The large container storey, made of predominantly unplastered clinker brick, rests on a multi-staggered cantilever, which is optically divided into two levels by a continuous clinker strip. While the lower one has narrow clinker round arches, each of which encompasses recessed and plastered masonry areas, the upper level is characterized by eight circular masonry niches, also framed with clinker brick. The niches, which were used to accentuate the design of the clinker masonry, were partly opened for the installation of arched or round windows in the course of the conversion as a restaurant with “tower room”. The interior of the container floor was originally the elevated container (possibly of the type of a loft container), which was supported by a riveted iron structure that was still exposed. Only a few parts of the system required to fill the container with and to remove water have survived, such as a piston pump with an electric motor from Siemens & Halske and parts of the pipelines with associated shut-off valves on the ground floor of the water tower. The water tower is closed by an octagonal tent roof over an iron roof structure with four flat dormers.
Despite the loss of function of the former water tower, which occurred after only a few decades, and the associated predominant loss of its technical equipment, the functional building remains a testament to the relatively late development of the municipal water supply in Hoyerswerda. It is therefore of technical, local and social historical importance. In addition, due to its location, size and design, the tower structure has an impact on the town and the landscape.
