Roman cellar (Lauchhammer)
Römerkeller was a settlement at the railway station of the same name, which was on the Sallgast – Lauchhammer branch of the Schipkau – Finsterwalder Railway .
history
The Römerkeller residential area was created after the railway station of the same name opened in 1902. There is no evidence of an older settlement history. Römerkeller, which was located in Niederlausitz not far from what would later become the town of Lauchhammer , was a district of Kostebrau . The site was demolished in 1980 by the Klettwitz opencast mine . 29 residents were relocated. In other sources, 90 households with 195 inhabitants (including Wischgrund ) are given as resettlers to be provided with housing.
legend
The field name Römerkeller was associated with the legend about a place of worship for the Wendengott Flinz . A golden lion is said to have stood on the Römerkeller hill group. On the south side of the hill, a large opening is said to have led into an approximately four-meter-high cellar-like room. According to Gottlieb Paulitz, at the height above the cave there was a stone with illegible characters, a sacrificial stone for Flinz.
