history

Friedrich August Wagner
Malitzschkendorf and some neighboring towns on an original table sheet from 1847

The first traces of settlement in the area date from the younger Iron Age. Between Malitschkendorf and Schlieben there is an old castle rampart with an area of ​​around 3.3 hectares, which was once believed to have served as a place of worship and refuge in the middle of what was once a huge swamp area. This castle wall, which could later be assigned to the Billendorfer culture , was researched between 1826 and 1833 by the Schlieben doctor and archaeologist Friedrich August Wagner , as he suspected that the Semnones' holy grove might have been at this point . In the meantime, the ramparts were also considered as the location of the Slavic castle Liubusua mentioned in Thietmar's chronicle , but this has since been widely refuted.

The place was mentioned for the first time in 1290 in a document of the Cistercian monastery Dobrilugk, which has existed since 1165 . This is a so-called street village , as the layout of the historic Malitzschkendorfer location is predominantly based on the course of today's main street. It is said that in 1474 fourteen hofners and two gardeners cultivated sixteen Hufen land in the village. In 1518 a village jug was mentioned in the documents of the office of Schlieben .

Like many surrounding communities and the neighboring town of Schlieben, which was destroyed several times, Malitzschkendorf also suffered from the Thirty Years' War . It is known that three years before the end of the war in 1645 there were four pieces of land in the village and almost twenty years later there were still two gardeners vacant here in 1672.

There is evidence of a windmill in Malitzschkendorf from the 18th century to the 19th century. It can already be found in 1781 on a map by the Saxon cartographer Peter Schenk . It is also mentioned in an Electoral Saxon mill directory in 1791 and listed as two-course. In 1797, however, it is said to have only had one gear. At that time it was owned by the gardener Johann Martin Dümichen.

According to the regulations of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Malitzschkendorf came from the Kingdom of Saxony to the Merseburg administrative district of the Prussian province of Saxony, and the Schweinitz district was established in 1816 .

In 1854 a school was built in the village, which is located opposite the rectory.

As part of the National Socialist Germanization of Sorbian place names, the district administrator of the Schweinitz district had applied in 1937 with the consent of the municipality to rename Malitzschkendorf to "Eisengrund" and thus to erase the Sorbian name. Unlike in other regions , however, the renaming failed here due to the rejection of the responsible district president and only the spelling was slightly adjusted because the z was omitted.

In February 1947 the Allied Control Council ordered the formal dissolution of Prussia. Malitschkendorf now belonged to the newly founded state of Saxony-Anhalt . The district of Schweinitz was renamed the district of Herzberg in 1950 , from which the district of Herzberg emerged in 1952 . In the same year, the state of Saxony-Anhalt was dissolved again as part of the administrative reform in the GDR , which was formed in 1949, and the village was located in the Cottbus district after the districts were established until reunification in 1990 .

From 1992 the until then still independent community belonged to the newly formed office Schlieben . On December 31, 2001, the voluntary merger with Kolochau and Polzen followed to form the new municipality of Kremitzaue, which today also belongs to the Schlieben office.

Culture and sights

Monuments

The Malitschkendorfer village church

In the south of Malitschkendorf is the church of St. Georg from the second half of the 13th century. This was once built mainly from field stones and has a square tower from the 18th century with an octagonal bell cage, in which the oldest bells of the village churches of the Elbe-Elster district are located. Among other things, it is equipped with a single-manual organ built by Christoph Schröther in 1838 and a chalice-shaped sandstone baptism from around 1300.

The parsonage, which dates back to 1870, is, like the neighboring church, on the list of architectural monuments of the state of Brandenburg today . It is a semi-cellar exposed brick building with a gable roof. Dating from the founding period , like the church, it is one of the village's defining buildings. In addition to Malitschkendorf itself, the localities of Osteroda , Jagsal and Redlin belonged to the former parish of Malitschkendorf . A branch church from the 17th century in Osteroda was demolished without replacement in the 1960s.

A memorial in the form of a memorial stone with dedications and name plaques commemorates the residents of Malitschkendorf who died in the First and Second World Wars .

Leisure and club life

In Malitschkendorf there is a leisure and community center, a soccer field and a bowling alley for leisure activities and local events. Active clubs in the village include the SG Malitschkendorf football club , the Malitschkendorf women's choir and the local volunteer fire department.

The Malitschkendorfer Sports Festival takes place every year in August .

It pays homage to the small village in the Kremitzaue and describes autobiographically the author's difficult childhood years.
