history

Origin and foundation of the village

Neuburxdorf around 1900
Neuburxdorf train station around 1900

Neuburxdorf owes its existence mainly to the Jüterbog – Röderau railway line , which was completed in 1848 and where the Burxdorf station was opened. In the vicinity of what is now called Neuburxdorf train station, commercial, trading and manufacturing companies emerged and this is how the Burxdorf train station colony developed. In 1899, the efforts to establish a communal independent municipality with the approval of the German Kaiser led to success and Neuburxdorf was able to split off from the mother village of Burxdorf. In 1902 a school house was built. In 1909 the Neuburxdorf – Mühlberg railway was opened. In 1913 the place received electric light. With the construction of the first houses around 1930, the Neuburxdorf settlement was created.

In 1939 the prisoner-of-war camp Stalag IV B was established near the village, which was continued as special camp No. 1 Mühlberg of the NKVD / MWD until 1948 after the liberation by the Red Army in 1945 . More than 3,000 soldiers from 17 nations - most of them Soviet soldiers - died by 1945 and after the end of the war almost 7,000 people of malnutrition, the cold and their complications. Today the site houses a memorial. Every day at 6:00 p.m., the bell rings in the chapel of the Neuburxdorf cemetery in honor of the dead from both camps. A special feature is the memorial created by the French prisoner-of-war sculptor Georges Bacincoust in 1944 with the year "1939–194 ...". The number for the end of the war, unknown at the time of production, was carved after the liberation.
