history

Münchhausen was first mentioned in a document in 1229 as "Monichusen". The place name means "place where monks live / dwell", the village was originally owned by the monks of the Cistercian monastery Dobrilugk .

After it was first mentioned, Münchhausen was owned by the Burgraves of Wettin , after the knight Dietrich von Torgau sold some of the hooves to the Dobrilugk monastery in 1286 . Münchhausen later belonged to the Dobrilugk pledge . The place was pledged to the Solms-Sonnenwalde and was redeemed by Rudolf von Gersdorff by 1572 . 1819 Munchausen had 350 floor and 1552⅞ Gulden deliver estimate. A church was also mentioned that was a branch church in Frankena. However, this church must have disappeared by 1895 at the latest, as the current Münchhausen village church was consecrated in that year .

In 1840, according to the topographical-statistical overview of the administrative district of Frankfurt adO, Münchhausen had 42 residential buildings with 231 inhabitants and belonged to the Dobrilugk Rent Office . At that time there were two windmills in the village . By 1864 the number of inhabitants in Münchhausen rose to 326. At that time the two windmills and two brickworks still belonged to Münchhausen .

Until 1815 Münchhausen belonged to the Luckau District . After the Congress of Vienna , the Kingdom of Saxony had to cede parts of its territory to Prussia , after which Münchhausen was in the district of Luckau in the administrative district of Frankfurt in the province of Brandenburg . After the Second World War , the community was initially in the Soviet occupation zone and then in the GDR . In the district reform carried out in the GDR on July 25, 1952, Münchhausen was incorporated into the Finsterwalde district in the Cottbus district. On October 1, 1973, the neighboring Ossak was incorporated into Münchhausen. After the reunification , the Finsterwalde district was renamed the Finsterwalde district and finally dissolved, the Münchhausen community was assigned to the Elbe-Elster district and joined the Sonnewalde office . On September 27, 1998 Schönewalde was incorporated into Münchhausen. On October 26, 2003, the Münchhausen community was dissolved by law and incorporated into the city of Sonnewalde .
