history

During the Middle Ages there were at least 14 pitch huts in the Finsterwald area , in which wood tar was produced. In 1593, four more Pechhütten were mentioned, one of them south of Nehesdorf, although it is not certain that it was clearly the present day Pechhütte. Pechhütte was first mentioned by name in a church book from 1620 under the name "Pechhütte bei Grünhaus".

Before the Congress of Vienna and the cession of territory from the Kingdom of Saxony to the Kingdom of Prussia , Pechhütte belonged to Saxony. From 1816 the place belonged to the district of Luckau in the Prussian province of Brandenburg . In the topographical-statistical overview of the administrative district of Frankfurt adO for the year 1840, the place is recorded as Pechhütte zu Nehesdorf. In 1864 the place, then known as Nehesdorfer Pechhütte , had 15 residential buildings with 105 inhabitants and was parish off to Nehesdorf. In addition to the Pechütte, there was also a forester's house in the village . There has been a volunteer fire brigade in the village since 1935 .

The place Pechhütte was never an independent municipality, but always belonged to the municipality of Nehesdorf . Until 1815, Pechhütte belonged to the Luckau district , which was converted into the Luckau district after the changes in territory at the Congress of Vienna. On January 1, 1925, the municipality of Nehesdorf was dissolved, Nehesdorf became a residential area in the main town of Finsterwalde and Pechhütte a district. After the Second World War , the place was first in the Soviet occupation zone and then in the GDR . During the district reform carried out in the GDR on July 25, 1952, Pechhütte was incorporated into the Finsterwalde district in the Cottbus district. After the reunification , the Finsterwalde district was renamed the Finsterwalde district and finally dissolved, the town of Finsterwalde and its districts were assigned to the Elbe-Elster district .
