Publick , in Upper Sorbian Publik , is a former village in Upper Lusatia , 11 km southeast of Weißwasser . Located on the old White Schöps between Hammerstadt (district of Rietschen ) and Schadendorf (district of Boxberg / OL ), it was devastated in 1986 by the Reichwalde opencast mine due to lignite mining .

location

Publick was in the Sorbian settlement area between Weißwasser in the north, Rietschen in the east, Niesky in the south and Boxberg / OL in the west. Neighboring villages were Mocholz in the north, Zweibrücken and Altliebel in the east, Neuliebel in the southeast, Kringelsdorf in the south, Reichwalde in the southwest and Wunscha in the west.

history

The place, which always belonged to the rulership of Muskau , had different names. Around 1400 it was recorded under the name Publicsdorff, 1505 and 1581 under Puplick, 1572 under Pupplingk, 1603 under Pupligk, 1625 under Bublick and since 1791 under Publick.

On a map (before 1724) it appears under Bublie , on another (before 1727) as Public , 1745 (adjacent map) as Publicke and around the same time (1746) as Publick and after 1757 again as Public and 1759 (adjacent map) as a peek .

Publick in the Third Reich

In 1936 Publick, like many other places in the Sorbian settlement area, received a new German name in the course of the Germanization of Sorbian place names. From December 22, 1936 to 1947, the place was called Wildfelde . The previous naming was then reversed.

In the district of Wunschhausen there was a labor education camp for men from February 26, 1942 to August 1, 1942, which was subordinate to the state police station .

Administrative affiliation

After the First Silesian War , the village of Publick came to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1742 . On April 1, 1938, the neighboring village of Wunscha was incorporated into Publick. In 1945, Wunscha became independent again and Publick was incorporated into Wunscha. The place was part of the district of Weißwasser-Görlitz and was after its renaming from January 16, 1947 in the district of Niesky . On July 25, 1952, the community of Wunscha with the Publick district was assigned to the newly formed Weisswasser district in the Cottbus district . On January 1, 1986 the Publick corridor was incorporated into the municipality of Viereichen , which in turn was merged on March 15, 1992 with the previously independent municipalities of Daubitz , Rietschen and Teicha to form the municipality of Rietschen . After the district reform in Saxony on August 1, 1994 , Rietschen and thus also the former location of Publick was added to the Lower Silesian Upper Lusatia District. Since the Saxon district reform on August 1, 2008 , the former location of Publick has belonged to the Görlitz district .
