history

Massen was first mentioned in a document in 1375 under the name "Massin". The place name is derived from the Sorbian personal name “Macha” or “Mascha” , according to Reinhard E. Fischer . According to Ernst Eichler , the place name is based on the basic form "Maš", a short form of the name "Małomir". The place name therefore probably goes back to a former village owner.

Before the Congress of Vienna and the cession of territory by the Kingdom of Saxony to the Kingdom of Prussia , Gröbitz belonged to Saxony. From 1816 the place belonged to the district of Luckau in the Prussian province of Brandenburg , where Massen belonged to the Finsterwalde office . In 1819, 212 people lived in 42 houses, including several landowners with 31¾ hooves . The local church was a branch church in Finsterwalde. There was a windmill near the village and the village also had a school.

In 1840, according to the topographical-statistical overview of the administrative district of Frankfurt adO, Massen had 56 residential buildings with 282 inhabitants and belonged to the Dobrilugk Rent Office . Two windmills belonged to the place at that time. By 1864 the population rose en masse to 435, at that time the place was part of the Finsterwalde office in the Dobrilugk registry.

Until 1815, Massen belonged to the Luckau District , which was transformed into the Luckau District after the changes in area at the Congress of Vienna. After the Second World War , the community was initially in the Soviet occupation zone and then in the GDR . During the district reform carried out in the GDR on July 25, 1952, Massen was incorporated into the Finsterwalde district in the Cottbus district. On May 19, 1974, Tanneberg was incorporated into Massen. After the reunification , the Finsterwalde district was renamed the Finsterwalde district and finally dissolved, the community of Massen was assigned to the Elbe-Elster district and joined the Kleine Elster (Niederlausitz) office . On December 31, 1997, Massen was merged with the communities of Babben , Betten and Lindthal to form the new community of Massen-Niederlausitz .

Attractions

  • The Protestant village church in Massen was built around the middle of the 13th century as a field stone building with a west transverse tower. The design of the church is unique for the region. In the 16th century, the nave was vaulted with cell vaults, and at the eastern end of the nave there is a sacristy with a ridge vault . In the 18th century the church was renewed, another renovation followed in the 19th century. In front of the church there is a memorial to the fallen , which was initially erected in honor of those who fell in the First World War, later plaques with the fallen in the Second World War were also attached. The church and the monument are under monument protection .
