Culture and sights

Nagel’s column

Nagelsche pillar, Oßling

In the years 1862–1890 the Royal Saxon Triangulation was carried out on the territory of the Kingdom of Saxony. The column erected in Oßling in 1864 is a first-order station. It is labeled “Station Ossling der Mitteleurop. Degree measurement, K. Sachsen, 1864 “. There is also a board with the following inscription: "Original marking (Nagelsche column) of a point of the European (initially" Central European ") degree measurement in the Kingdom of Saxony". This scientific survey, created between 1862 and 1890 to determine the shape and size of the earth, was the life's work of the Saxon geodesy professor August Nagel (1821–1903). Due to the quarry expansion, the pillar was recovered from its original location approx. 750 m away and then erected here as a surveying and local history monument by the Oßling municipal administration in cooperation with the Land Surveying Office of Saxony.

history

Church around 1925
Evangelical Lutheran Church

The place name "Oßling" comes from the Sorbian language of Wosling , which means something like Steinberg . The name should refer to the Oßlinger Berg , where Grauwacke was already mined in the early days . After the Congress of Vienna , Oßling, like large parts of Lusatia, came to Prussia in 1815, but was reassigned to the Kingdom of Saxony in 1818. In 1994 the large community of Oßling was formed as part of the Saxon regional reform.

The district of Lieske has belonged to the municipality since 1896. The manor there was handed over to the "Association for Workers' Colonies of Saxony" in 1897. After the Second World War, the present-day mission courtyard of the Diakonisches Werk Kamenz with living and working places (workshop, farm shop, brewery) for mentally handicapped people developed from the colony property over several intermediate stations .

The district Trado was first mentioned in 1374 as Matei Tradow . The name is likely to come from the Sorbian tradacz and means something like "lack".
The district Skaska was first mentioned in 1383.
The district Döbra was first mentioned in 1374 as Dobry (which means something like "good"). In 1992 traces of settlement from the Young Bronze Age (1000 to 800 BC) were found south of Döbra .
The district of Liebegast was first mentioned in a document in 1408. The name can be traced back to the town's founder, Lubogost. Later the name was then Germanized to Liebegast. It was incorporated into Sollschwitz (Kr. Hoyerswerda) on July 1, 1950 . On January 1, 1994 the OT Sollschwitz was spun off and incorporated into the municipality of Wittichenau .
The formerly independent communities Döbra, Skaska and Trado merged on January 1, 1969 to form the Skaska-Döbra community, which was incorporated into Oßling on January 1, 1994.

As late as 1884/85, all of today's districts were predominantly Sorbian , although they were on the outer edge of the core settlement area. Oßling itself was 56%, Döbra and Skaska 82%, Weißig 83%, Lieske 92%, Milstrich 93% and Trado exclusively inhabited by Sorbs. In the course of the 20th century, the Sorbian language largely disappeared from everyday life and only Milstrich is still an official settlement area today.

education

Evangelical middle school

The community of Oßling has two primary schools, one state called Chestnut School and one that is integrated into the privately run Protestant secondary school in the village, which, although Oßling is outside the Sorbian settlement area, offers Sorbian lessons.
