Potok ( German  Pattag , from 1937 to 1945 Neißebrück ; Sorbian Pótach ) is a village in the Polish rural community Przewóz in the Powiat Żarski ( Sorau ) in the Lebus Voivodeship . With the neighboring town of Jamnitz , which was devastated by war in 1945 , Pattag formed the Jamnitz-Pattag community until 1938 .

geography

Potok is located on the Lusatian Neisse downstream from Przewóz (Priebus) . To the south-east lies the small town of Werdeck on the German side of the Neisse , with which Jamnitz-Pattag formed the municipality of Neißebrück from 1938 to 1945 . The provincial road 350 runs between the border towns Łęknica and Przewóz past Potok.

history

The village was mentioned in a document when in 1430 the mugger Fritsche Gradis confessed that he and his companions received two sheaves of grain in a wood near the Patag and that they had accommodations at the Patag by Prebus . Later, the Schulze is said to have delivered food and temporarily oats to the robber baron Hans von Horn († 1513), son of Peter von Horn on Klein Düben .

Since Pattag was in the Priebus town's ban mile , she raised an objection to the tailor who was based in Pattag. Balthasar von Metzrode then testified that there had always been a tailor in town, and Duke Georg von Sachsen allowed him to continue working in Pattag. There is also evidence of an iron hammer in Pattag.

In 1463 Duke Balthasar von Sagan enfeoffed Kaspar Rutschitz with Pattag. Heintze Haugwitz was the owner of Pattag towards the end of the century. He, who was also accused of robbery, sold the annual interest to the pastor of Priebus. Soon afterwards Pattag must have split into two parts, in 1543 Balthasar von Metzrode was enfeoffed with half of the village by Duke Moritz von Sachsen , the other half belonged to Lorenz von Haugwitz.

The village was drawn to the ducal chamber in 1671 , but loaned to Hans George von Liège. It was only under Peter von Kurland that Jamnitz and Pattag were listed as princely chamber goods around 1800. Because of the small size of the two villages, they were mostly considered together in subsequent population surveys.

When the Sagan district was dissolved , Jamnitz-Pattag became part of the Rothenburg district in 1932 . In this the community with the opposite place Werdeck was united on April 1, 1938 to the community Neißebrück .

After the Second World War , the village was east of the Oder-Neisse line in 1945 and thus came to Poland. Under the name Potok, the village came to Powiat Żarski , the Polish part of the former Sorauer district .

Place name

Mentioned as Pattach on Schreiber's map (1745) of the Muskau rule and the Priebuser district

The German place name is documented alongside Pattag as Patag , Patach and Pattach . According to Pohl, its meaning is doubtful and perhaps comes from the Sorbian word pata 'chicken, mushroom'. In 1937 the place was changed to Neißebrück in the course of the National Socialist Germanization of Sorbian place names .
