history

Local history

The first written mention of Lodenau dates back to 1375, at that time still under the name Lode . However, as early as 1358 a Nickil Lode was mentioned in the oldest Görlitz town book. The manor is documented for the year 1390, when its owner Günther von Kottwitz was in a border dispute with the Muskauer Mr. Hans von Penzig.

In 1609 the estate belonged to Wolf von Rechenberg. The eligibility for this was awarded to Kurt Reinicke von Callenberg in 1657 , but ultimately it did not come into his possession, but remained in the possession of the von Rechenberg family until 1748.

In 1724 the northern district of Ungunst was mentioned, the name of which is probably derived from the unfavorable soil.

After Saxony had to cede the northeastern part of Upper Lusatia to Prussia in 1815, Lodenau was assigned to the Rothenburg district (Ob. Laus.) .

Lodenau was repeatedly a victim of flames, but also endangered by floods due to its location on Neißewiesen. For example, parts of the village burned in 1852 and in 1897 the estate and the entire Niederdorf were flooded.

The Lodenauer Holzstofffabriken was founded in 1873. In 1908 "one of the most modern cylinder-mold machines in the world for producing cardboard in endless paths" was installed in them. There was a bridge connection to the neighboring community of Zoblitz, which also had a constantly expanding paper factory.

With the construction of the Horka – Przewóz railway line in 1907, the town received a train station and the paper mill a siding.

Lodenau was merged with Zoblitz to Zoblitz-Lodenau on April 1, 1938 . After the Oder-Neisse line represented the new border between Germany and Poland at the end of the Second World War , Lodenau became an independent municipality again.

On July 1, 1969, Steinbach was incorporated into Lodenau. New care was added on March 1, 1994 . On January 1, 1999, the communities Lodenau and Uhsmannsdorf were finally incorporated into Rothenburg.

In 1777 there were 8 possessed men , 19 gardeners and 21 cottagers in Lodenau .

After the population fell from 454 in 1825 to 417 in 1885, it rose continuously to 664 until 1937. After the merger with Zoblitz, the double community had 1,141 inhabitants in May 1939. The again independent community Lodenau had almost the same number in the post-war years. From 1950 to 1964 there was a decrease of 10% to 1021.

Despite the incorporation of Steinbach, the population of the community in 1990 was almost 250 inhabitants lower than in 1964. In the three years after the reunification it fell again by 8% to 715. The incorporation of Neusorge increased the number in 1994 by around 165 inhabitants to around 880. In the following years the population increased again and could be kept at around 910 until the incorporation. The comparison between 1998 (Lodenau municipality with Steinbach and Neusorge) and 1999 (Lodenau district only) shows that around 70% of the residents of Lodenau municipality lived in the main town.

After the influx fell, the number of inhabitants fell again, so that the village of Lodenau has 545 inhabitants in 2006. In 2006, around 800 inhabitants lived on the territory of the municipality of Lodenau from 1998.
