history

The first documentary mention as Mieschen dates from 1412. However , the document regulating a forest sale to the municipality of Werben , in which the spatial demarcation to Mieschen is named, is no longer verifiable. The meaning of the name is unknown. Until 1945, Müschen was the seat of noble landowner families.

The von Seyffertitz family has been named as the owner of Müschen (and von Krieschow) since the beginning of the 15th century, since in 1500 Hans, Georg and Christoph von Seyffertitz were enfeoffed with Müschen. At the end of the century (1597), the captain of Lebus, Kersten von Rohr, bought the estate, but did not keep it for long and was acquired by Friedrich von Loeben in 1615. Müschen burned down twice during the Thirty Years' War . In 1651 the village had 81 inhabitants. After Müschen passed into the possession of the city judge to Kottbus Hans Sommer in 1659, the von Hoym , von Landsberg and Magnus von Stutterheim families appeared as further owners in less than twenty years. The latter acquired the estate in 1677 for 3,500 thalers, was married to Eleonore von Loeben and, in his second marriage, Elisabeth von Pannwitz. At the beginning of the 18th century the whole village burned down in a large fire.

In 1707 his son Otto Heinrich von Stutterheim built a new manor house in Müschen, but in 1714 felt compelled to sell the property for 10,000 thalers to Heinrich Wilhelm von Pannwitz, who owned the neighboring goods Babow and Gulben, from which Babow had been parting since 1519 was family owned. Heinrich O. von Stutterheim, however, continued to live in Müschen until a few years later he acquired a works in Werben.

Heinrich Wilhelm von Pannwitz was a Prussian district administrator and also owned Gulben and the Betzkow'sche Vorwerk in Werben. During the tenure of Otto Heinrich von Pannwitz († 1751) there were protracted disputes with the villagers, who complained about excessive services and interest as well as alleged unlawful occupation of rural land by the rulers.

The married couple Otto Heinrich and Juliane von Pannwitz, b. von Schönfeldt (from Werben) had a daughter Juliane Ulrike born in Müschen on March 22, 1746, who married Joachim Friedrich von Kleist (Guhrau) in 1775 and became the mother of the famous German poet Heinrich von Kleist .

Otto Heinrich von Pannwitz's youngest son Friedrich Wilhelm August inherited Müschen and in 1786 married the baroness Jeanne Marie Digeon de Monteton, the widow of Ernst Albrecht von Schönfeld auf Werben, who brought the Wormlage estate in the Calau district into the marriage. He died in Müschen in 1805, which then fell to his youngest son, Lieutenant Julius von Pannwitz, who was married to Marianne Henriette von Schuckmann and who had today's manor house built. During this time, in 1822, the services and duties of the subjects were replaced (separated). Julius von Pannwitz died early in 1818 from the wounds he sustained in the liberation war against Napoleon 1813-1815. Since his son Friedrich Julius was born posthumously and died only a few weeks after his birth, the property fell back to his mother, who soon sold it.

In 1844 the merchant Müller from Brunschwig owned the manor. In 1847, Müschen bought Lieutenant Johann Friedrich Hellwig for 50,000 thalers. The estate at that time comprised 698 acres, of which 217 acres were arable land and 204 acres were meadows. In 1844 the village had fifty residential buildings with 321 inhabitants.

In 1856 Theodor von Pannwitz from Wormlage, who was married to Countess Isidore Lynar (from the Ogrosen family), bought the property back again. With him, however, after almost 350 years in 1864, the Pannwitz era on Müschen and Babow finally came to an end when he sold the estate in 1864.

In 1885 the von Wurmbs'chen heirs are mentioned, who were probably the heirs of Otto Ludwig Ulrich von Wurmb († 1871), who was probably the purchaser of the property. His youngest son, the royal Prussian lieutenant general a. D. Adalbert von Wurmb (1860–1935) followed him, whose widow Gabriele von Wurmb, b. von Stoecklern zu Grünholzek, it to her son, the retired government councilor in 1937. D. Kurt von Wurmb (* 1887) inherited. At that time the manor still had 167 hectares and remained in the family's possession until it was expropriated in 1945.

In 1848, Müller Kerstan received permission to build a watermill on the Kzschischoka (today Greifenhainer Fließ), which was rebuilt in 1903, 1904 after being sold due to insolvency and was completely destroyed by fire and is still working today (status: 2018). In 1878, Willibald von Schulenburg found a prehistoric burial ground with urns on the Muschink . Seeds of peas and broad beans were found to be grave goods . Vegetable growing still plays an important role in the region and in Müschen.

A war memorial was dedicated on June 11, 1922 . After its restoration, a new inauguration took place on June 10, 2007. The names of 51 Müscheners who died in the world wars are listed on the memorial. For a long time, Müschen was predominantly settled by Sorbs . Even today there is a Sorbian minority. 21.4% (as of 1995) of the population have knowledge of Sorbian .

On December 31, 2001, Müschen was incorporated into Burg.

In 2012 the village celebrated the 600th anniversary of its first mention.
