history

Neupetershain-Nord, which used to be called Petershain, is now the origin of the Neupetershain community. The settlement was settled by the Slavs of the Lusitzi tribe around 1200 . Neupetershain-Nord was first mentioned in a document in 1346 in the Meißen diocese article as a parish church . The place name Petershain indicates a place founder named Peter. The Sorbian place name wiki means "grain market". It is assumed that Neupetershain North first as a line village was created and only through further settlements into a street village was expanded.

While the lords of Petershain were always of Franconian origin , the farmers in the village were mostly Sorbs / Wends who had little or no command of the German language. In a property register from 1652, almost only Slavic personal names are recorded.

Petershain and the manor of the same name were owned by the lords of Muschwitz from the first mention of the village until 1738 . A moated castle was mentioned in 1405. Then the gentlemen von Rotberg followed . Their last daughter Pauline von Pannwitz sold the estate to an industrialist in 1868. After that the landowners changed frequently. In 1945, as a result of the land reform in the Soviet occupation zone, the property was expropriated and used by cooperative farms ( agricultural production cooperative ). During the GDR era , the building was damaged by the removal of the tower. An industrial park has been located on the estate since 1990 . The manor house now houses a hotel.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Petershain experienced a large influx from other parts of Germany. The reasons were the expanding lignite mining in Lusatia and the resulting glass industry. After the end of the Second World War, refugees came from the former German eastern regions . At the end of the Second World War, various fighting broke out in and around Neupetershain-Nord , in which around 2,000 soldiers and many villagers died. Lindenplatz and the surrounding buildings were destroyed.

After the Congress of Vienna , Neupetershain-Nord came to the Kingdom of Prussia and was located in the Senftenberg district . Neupetershain-Nord has been part of this municipality since 1928. On July 25, 1952, the community was assigned to the newly formed Calau district in the Cottbus district . After the reunification , Neupetershain-Nord was in the Calau district in Brandenburg . On October 1, 1992, the community joined the Altdöbern office . After the district reform in Brandenburg on December 6, 1993 , Neupetershain-Nord was finally part of the newly formed district of Oberspreewald-Lausitz .

Village church

A church in Neupetershain-Nord was mentioned when the place was first mentioned in 1346. In the course of time the church was rebuilt again and again, the last major intervention was carried out in 1724 when the church was expanded to the east. In addition, the ring walls were raised and baroque windows were used.

In 1733 the church tower was raised and the dome was replaced by a baroque spire. In 1830 the steeple toppled onto the roof of the church after a storm, and in 1935 the top was destroyed by fire. In 1937 a new entrance was created. In addition, the two bells that had been destroyed in the church tower fire were replaced by today's steel bells from the Lauchhammer art and bell foundry .

An organ was first mentioned in 1815; today's organ is an organ from the Heinze company from Sorau from 1905.

Sorbian population

Until the beginning of the 19th century, Neupetershain-Nord was a place with an exclusively Sorbian population . After the abolition of the Sorbian church service in 1842 and with the beginning of industrialization, the proportion of the Sorbian population in the village fell sharply. Arnošt Muka determined for his statistics on the Sorbian population in Lusatia in 1884 a population of 399 inhabitants, of which 100 were Sorbs and 299 Germans, which corresponds to a share of 25%. In 1956 Ernst Tschernik had only two Sorbian residents.

Up to the present day, however, Sorbian / Wendish customs such as zamping , the Easter fire and the design of Easter eggs are still maintained.
