Riegel , Upper Sorbian , is a place in the north of the Saxon district of Bautzen , which has belonged to the municipality of Lohsa since 1994 . Riegel is located in Upper Lusatia and is part of the Sorbian settlement area .
geography
The place is located near the emerging Scheibe Lake on the state road 108, which leads from Lohsa to Hoyerswerda , only a few kilometers away .
history
A Heyde am Rigell ("Heide am Riegel") was mentioned for the first time in 1537 . From the 16th to the 19th century, the manor was under the rule of Hoyerswerda . In Riegel and Neustadt (Spree) , Hoyerswerda operated two new hammer mills for processing the lawn iron ore from 1550/1560 . Both works replaced the only hammer mill in Nardt , which had been in existence for over 150 years and which was apparently abandoned. The Thirty Years War brought a turning point in iron production in Upper Lusatia. The hammer has been desolate since at least 1660 . The hammer mill was probably located on the site of the watermill, the building of which still exists today. The Mühlgraben is now dry and the Kleine Spree was relocated in the course of the lignite mining. It now flows north around the Scheibe Lake.
Until 1977 Riegel was an independent rural community, since 1938 with the district of Scheibe . On January 1, 1978 it was incorporated into Weißkollm . In 1986/87, the town of Scheibe had to give way to the open- cast mine that was opened at short notice .
Population development
For his statistics, the scientist Arnošt Muka counted 89 inhabitants in Riegel in 1884, 86 of them Sorbs and three Germans. Ernst Tschernik stated that in 1956 still 86.5% of the population spoke Sorbian from the bar and the slice. At that time, Riegel was one of the communities with the largest Sorbian-speaking population in the area.
