history

Preilack was first mentioned in 1587 as "Preylangk". In 1652 the name "Preylagk" was mentioned. The place name comes from the Sorbian language and means "settlement on the Luch". Preilack belonged to the Cottbus rulership and is therefore a historically Markbrandenburg village that was located in an exclave surrounded by the Electorate of Saxony . In 1641, during the Thirty Years War , Preilack was set on fire by Swedish troops. The village has a chause money lever and a Prussian round milestone , which suggests that Preilack must have been on an important road.

With the Peace of Tilsit , Preilack came to the Kingdom of Saxony in 1807 . In 1813 the area was again occupied by Prussians. In the course of the division of the Kingdom of Saxony decided at the Congress of Vienna , Preilack came back to the Kingdom of Prussia and there to the administrative district of Frankfurt of the province of Brandenburg . During the territorial reform carried out the following year, Preilack was assigned to the Cottbus district . At the beginning of the 1840s, 224 residents lived in 40 buildings in Preilack. Ecclesiastically the place belonged to Peitz. By 1864 the population of Preilack rose to 343. At that time, the village had a windmill and four expanded farms. In the census of December 1, 1871, the rural community of Preilack had 345 inhabitants in 68 families and a single household. Of the population, 167 were men and 178 women; 91 residents were children under ten years of age and all residents were of the Evangelical Lutheran denomination.

According to Arnošt Muka , all 396 inhabitants of the rural community of Preilack were Sorbs in 1884/85 . In 1886 the Cottbus district was renamed the Cottbus district . On December 1, 1910, the rural community of Preilack had 371 inhabitants. After the end of the Second World War, Preilack was still in the Cottbus district and came into the Soviet occupation zone .

From 1947 the community belonged to the state of Brandenburg , which was founded in the Soviet Zone and which initially continued to exist in the GDR from 1949. During the regional reform on July 25, 1952, the districts and states were dissolved and the districts re-established, with Preilack being assigned to the Cottbus-Land district in the Cottbus district . In 1956, according to Arnošt Černik , 56.7 percent of the inhabitants of Preilack had a knowledge of Sorbian. After reunification , Preilack was initially in the Cottbus district in Brandenburg, and in 1992 the municipality joined the Peitz office to handle its administrative business . The Cottbus district was incorporated into the new Spree-Neisse district on December 6, 1993 . On December 31, 2001, Preilack and the neighboring municipality of Turnow merged on a voluntary basis to form the new municipality of Turnow-Preilack .
