history

Milkersdorf was first mentioned in a document in 1652, and this document already lists the distribution of property from 1480. The place was then called Mülkerßdorf , the meaning of the German place name is unknown. The Lower Sorbian place name Górnej is derived from the Lower Sorbian word górny = "upper" and means "upper village". Milkersdorf belonged to the Cottbus lordship and was therefore a Markbrandenburg village that was located in an exclave surrounded by the Electorate of Saxony . With the preliminary peace of Breslau and the peace of Berlin , Milkersdorf came to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1742 .

In 1806 Prussia had to surrender the territory of Cottbus to the Kingdom of Saxony . In 1809, Milkersdorf designated the village and the manor . The place consisted of 22 fire places (= houses), had 189 inhabitants and nine Hufen . In Milkersdorf there lived three whole farmers, five half-farmers , four Kossäts , two brothers, as well as a granny and a Rademacher. Ecclesiastically the place belonged to Papitz. After the partition of Saxony decided at the Congress of Vienna , Milkersdorf became Prussian again in 1815. During the territorial reform in the following year, the place became part of the Cottbus district , which belonged to the Frankfurt administrative district in the Brandenburg province . According to the topographical-statistical overview of the administrative district of Frankfurt adO from 1844, Milkersdorf had 41 residential buildings and 169 residents at that time. By 1867 the population of Milkersdorf rose to 242.

In 1875 the rural community Milkersdorf had 245 inhabitants. Towards the end of the 19th century the place was still a strongly Sorbian village. For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a population of 263 for Milkersdorf in the 1880s, of which 259 were Sorbs (98%) and four were Germans. Around 1900, the Milkersdorf estate district, which was uninhabited in the previous census, was dissolved and incorporated into the rural community. In the census of December 1, 1910, these 280 inhabitants. By 1933 the population had decreased to 247. After the Second World War , Milkersdorf became part of the Soviet occupation zone. The population of the municipality was 312 in 1946 due to refugees from the former German local areas.

On July 25, 1952, the Milkersdorf community came to the newly formed Cottbus-Land district in the Cottbus district during a district reform . In 1956, according to Ernst Tschernik , Milkersdorf still had a Sorbian-speaking population of 57.8%, but the Lower Sorbian language has since disappeared from everyday linguistic usage. After German reunification , the municipality of Milkersdorf belonged to the Cottbus district in the German state of Brandenburg. At the same time as the district reform in Brandenburg on December 6, 1993 , Milkersdorf was incorporated into Kolkwitz. Since then, the place has belonged to the Spree-Neisse district.
