history

The village of Reuthen was first mentioned in 1474 with the name Rewten . Reinhard E. Fischer derives the place name from the Lower Sorbian word "ruda" = lawn iron stone and thus establishes a connection to the church ruins in the village. The Sorbian folklorist Arnošt Muka refers the place name to the Lower Sorbian "ruta" for rhombus plants , this variant also considers the linguist Ernst Eichler to be more likely. In 1508 the place name was Reuthe and finally Reuthen in 1511 , the Sorbian name was called Ruschi in 1761 and Ruśc in 1843 .

The oldest building in the village is the Alte Schenke , which was first mentioned in 1552 and which today houses a community center. In the 17th century, Reuthen belonged to the Spremberg dominion and thus to the margraviate of Niederlausitz . This was part of the Bohemian Crown Lands until 1635 and came to the Electorate of Saxony with the Peace of Prague in 1635 . Reuthen was destroyed and rebuilt during the Thirty Years War , but the church has been in ruins since then. In 1806 the Electorate of Saxony was elevated to the Kingdom of Saxony . Around this time Reuthen consisted of 15 houses and 80 inhabitants, eight of the households were farmers, six gardeners and one housekeeper. The estimate was 983 guilders. There was also a village school. After the division of the Kingdom of Saxony decided at the Congress of Vienna , Gut Reuthen came to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 and was assigned to the Spremberg district in the province of Brandenburg during the territorial reform the following year .

At the beginning of the 1840s there were 44 residential buildings in Reuthen, with a total of 277 inhabitants. There was also a water-powered sawmill , a windmill and a brick factory . Ecclesiastically, Reuthen belonged to Graustein . In 1852 Reuthen had 300 inhabitants, in 1864 336 people lived in the village. In the census of December 1, 1871, the population of the rural community of Reuthen was made up as follows: 38 families and a total of 186 inhabitants lived in the village, 89 of whom were male and 97 female; 49 inhabitants were children under ten years of age. All residents were of the Evangelical Lutheran denomination. The Reuthen manor district had 137 inhabitants, 64 of them male and 73 female, as well as 44 inhabitants under the age of ten. 136 residents were Evangelical Lutheran, one was Catholic. In 1874, a 38-hectare landscape park was created in Reuthen , which is now a listed building . In the 1880s, Reuthen was a predominantly Sorbian-speaking community. For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a population of 383 around 1884, of which 363 were Sorbs (95%) and 20 were Germans. On December 1, 1910 the rural community Reuthen had 204 inhabitants, 112 people lived in the Reuthen manor district.

On January 1, 1938, the neighboring municipality of Horlitza to the south was incorporated into Reuthen. After the Second World War , the place became part of the Soviet occupation zone , from which the GDR emerged in October 1949 . From the district reform of July 25, 1952, the municipality of Reuthen belonged to the Spremberg district in the Cottbus district . In the meantime, the proportion of Sorbian-speaking residents had fallen sharply; Ernst Tschernik counted a Sorbian-speaking population of only 4.1% in 1956. After reunification , Reuthen was initially in the Spremberg district in the state of Brandenburg, which was incorporated into the new Spree-Neisse district during the district reform on December 6, 1993 . In the Spremberg district, the Reuthen community had merged with twelve other communities and the city of Döbern to form the Döbern-Land office . On October 26, 2003 Reuthen was incorporated into Felixsee .
