history

Papproth was first mentioned in 1527 as "Paperit". The place name, which comes from Sorbian, describes a location where ferns grow.

Until the 19th century, Papproth was a largely Sorbian-speaking village. For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a total population of 53 in the 1880s, of which 51 were Sorbs and only two were Germans, which corresponds to a Sorbian-speaking proportion of 96%. For various reasons, the use of the Sorbian language fell sharply in the following years.

After the Congress of Vienna , the entire Lower Lusatia came to the Kingdom of Prussia . When the new district was formed in 1816, Papproth came to the Calau district . On January 1, 1939, Papproth lost its independence as a community and was incorporated into Jehserig . On July 25, 1952, the place was assigned to the newly formed Spremberg district in the Cottbus district . After the reunification , Papproth was initially in the Cottbus district and after the district reform in December 1993 it was assigned to the Spree-Neisse district . On December 31, 2001, Jehserig was incorporated into the town of Drebkau together with its parts of the community and the previously independent communities of Casel , Domsdorf , Greifenhain , Laubst , Leuthen , Schorbus and Siewisch .
