Pritzen ( Lower Sorbian Pricyn ) is a locality in the municipality of Altdöbern in the Brandenburg district of Oberspreewald-Lausitz . Large parts of the village were demolished in 1982 and 1989 in favor of the Greifenhain open-cast lignite mine , and a total of 188 residents were resettled.

location

Pritzen is located in Niederlausitz in the Niederlausitzer Landrücke Nature Park and in the Lusatian Lakeland . Neighboring places are Greifenhain (to Drebkau ) in the east, Ressen (to New Zealand ) in the southeast, Lubochow (to New Zealand) in the south and Woschkow (to Großräschen ) in the southwest. In the north and west, Pritzen is surrounded by Lake Altdöberner .

history

The place Pritzen was first mentioned in a document in 1495. The name of the place can be traced back to the Lower Sorbian word precny for cross , as Pritzen - in contrast to most other villages - was laid out in a north-south direction instead of an east-west direction.

The municipality of Pritzen belonged to the newly formed district of Calau from July 25, 1952 . On January 1, 1989, Pritzen was incorporated into Lubochow and from October 1, 1992 to January 31, 2002 it belonged to the Altdöbern office . After the district reform in Brandenburg on December 6, 1993 , the community of Lubochow and with it the town of Pritzen became part of the newly formed district of Oberspreewald-Lausitz . In the course of the municipal reform in 2002, Lubochow became part of the new municipality of New Zealand and Pritzen became part of the municipality of Altdöbern .

The districts of Nebendorf (Lower Sorbian Njabodojce ) and Neudorf ( Nowa Wjas ), which were demolished in favor of the Greifenhain open-cast mine, belonged to the municipality of Pritzen .

Because the former connecting road between the town of Altdöbern and the village of Pritzen was broken off by the open-cast lignite mine, the road in Pritzen ends in a dead end. With the flooding of the Altdöberner See in the former open pit, Pritzen is now on a peninsula in the lake. The Fürst-Pückler-Weg cycle route leads across the peninsula around the village.

In 1993 and 1995, two biennials took place in Pritzen , in which numerous artists took part. During this time 23 art objects were created, 16 of which still exist today.

Lignite mining

In 1973, the then council of the Calau district decided that the Pritzen community should give way to the Greifenhain open-cast lignite mine and that the residents should be relocated. In 1991, the Pritzen village church was dismantled and rebuilt near Spremberg . In 1992 almost three quarters of the place were demolished, and by 1995 at the latest the place should be completely devastated .

In 1992 the Greifenhain opencast mine was shut down, which is why Pritzen was not completely devastated. Most of the residents had previously left Pritzen. Since 1993 Pritzen has had a bell tower to replace the former church, this bell tower was previously located in the village of Wolkenberg, which was devastated in favor of the Welzow-Süd opencast mine .
