Neu Zittau ( Nowa Žytawa in Lower Sorbian ) is a district of the municipality of Gosen-Neu Zittau in the Oder-Spree district in Brandenburg . The place belongs to the Spreenhagen office and was an independent municipality until October 26, 2003.
location
Neu Zittau is located in the east of Berlin's bacon belt, directly on the Spree . Berlin city center is about 25 kilometers northwest of the village, the city of Fürstenwalde / Spree is about 22 kilometers away. Surrounding villages are Erkner in the north, Grünheide (Mark) with the municipality part Fangschleuse in the northeast, Freienbrink in the east, Burig in the southeast, the Uckley residential area of the city of Königs Wusterhausen in the south, Wernsdorf in the southwest, Gosen in the west and Berlin-Rahnsdorf in the northwest.
history
At the beginning of the 1750s, the Prussian King Friedrich II. Had a colonist village built in the area of today's Neu Zittau by building 50 semi-detached houses. The place name Neu Zittau was first mentioned on December 22, 1751 in a document about the planning of the village. The first buildings were completed in the summer of 1752, the place was officially founded on May 16, 1753 when the founding deed was signed by Friedrich II. The place name was chosen because Neu Zittau was mainly intended to settle fine spinner families from Zittau . The name Zittau is derived from the Sorbian language and describes a place where rye (from Lower Sorbian: "žyto") grows. Ultimately, however, only two of the families who settled there actually came from Zittau.
In addition to the residential houses, the village also included a village jug , a Schulzen court and a mill. Due to the low income, which was insufficient for most of the local families to live on, many of the original residents left the place after it was founded. Due to the location of Neu Zittau directly on the Spree, a shipping trade developed in the place over time. In 1806 a boatmen's association was founded. On March 25, 1889, a ship's guild with 67 members was founded in Neu Zittau. From 1897 there was a ship's school in Neu Zittau. The source of income brought Neu Zittau to some degree of prosperity and new houses were built in the village. On April 1, 1935, the guild was dissolved. Since the Spree near Neu Zittau silted up more and more due to the construction of the Oder-Spree Canal , shipping traffic was relocated to Wernsdorf; today there is no shipping in Neu Zittau.
Originally, Neu Zittau belonged to the Storkow rulership , which at that time formed the Bees and Storkowic district with the Beeskow rulership . This was dissolved on April 30, 1815 and the Storkower part merged with the Teltowischer Kreis to form the Teltow-Storkow district . On January 1, 1836, the Storkowic part was again spun off from the district and merged with the Beeskowic part of the Lübben district to form the new Beeskow-Storkow district , which belonged to the Potsdam administrative district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg . In a population census in the Potsdam administrative district in 1841, Neu Zittau had 632 inhabitants and belonged to the Storkow district . In 1874 the Storkow office was dissolved.
After the Second World War , the community of Neu Zittau with its districts Burig and Steinfurt was initially in the Soviet occupation zone and from 1949 in the GDR . During the district reform carried out in the GDR on July 25, 1952, the community of Neu Zittau was assigned to the Fürstenwalde district in the Frankfurt (Oder) district . After the reunification , Neu Zittau was initially in the Fürstenwalde district , which was merged with two other districts to form the new Oder-Spree district during the district reform in Brandenburg in December 1993 . On October 26, 2003, the municipality of Neu Zittau was forcibly merged with the municipality of Gosen to form the new municipality of Gosen-Neu Zittau as part of the municipality reform in Brandenburg . On June 24, 2004, the constitutional court of the state of Brandenburg found irregularities in the municipality merger, but did not reverse the municipality merger.
Culture and sights
Village church
The Neu Zittau village church was built in 1763. It is a plastered hall building with a square west tower and tail hood . Before the church was built, services took place in the Neu Zittauer Dorfkrug. The church was consecrated on December 18, 1767, but at that time it did not have a steeple, this was only built in 1907 for reasons of cost. On April 3, 1877, the village church received an organ. During the First World War , the church bell of the village church had to be given in to be melted down in favor of weapons production.
From 1924 the renovation of the church began. On October 28, 1928, a memorial was inaugurated for the fallen residents of Neu Zittau during the First World War. In 1929 a cemetery chapel was built. During the Second World War , the village church was badly damaged by aerial bombs . In 1967 a further restoration of the church began. In front of the church there is a memorial for the victims of fascism .
Spree driving
Since 1996 the Spree drifting takes place annually in the Spree near Neu Zittau . Between 50 and 200 participants swim in wetsuits from Neu Zittau to Erkner through the Spree. The swimmers often use strange swimming aids. The route will be lined with up to 5000 spectators during the event.
