history

Thoroughfare in Ruben

The current area of ​​Ruben was settled by the Wendish tribe of the Lusitzi as early as the 8th and 9th centuries . There used to be a forest on the site that was cleared in favor of the village . This is where the place name comes from, which is derived from the Lower Sorbian word rubaś = "to chop" or rodowaś = "to clear, to make arable". Ruben was first mentioned in a document on August 16, 1317 in a document from the Neuzelle monastery as Rubyn . At that time Ruben was still an independent manor , which was later dissolved and placed under the manor Werben. From the 15th century at the latest, Ruben belonged to the Markbrandenburg dominion of Cottbus . In 1449 a Hanns Lauwald was enfeoffed by the Brandenburg margrave Friedrich II with the Brahmow estate and a homestead in Rubbin , the rest of the feud went to Niklaws Wydow. The ownership changed then regularly.

The place was a fiefdom of the Bohemian crown lands until 1742 and only became part of the Kingdom of Prussia with the preliminary peace of Breslau and the peace of Berlin . Until then, Ruben was in an exclave of Prussia within the Electorate of Saxony . The Schmettausche map series from 1767/87 shows a brickworks south of Ruben. In 1806, Prussia had to cede the territory of Cottbus to the newly formed Kingdom of Saxony . Friedrich Wilhelm August Bratring describes Ruben in 1809 as a village with 33 houses and 179 inhabitants. Twelve of the households were farmers and nine were cossets . After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Ruben returned to Prussia through the division of the Kingdom of Saxony .

The following year, a comprehensive local government reform was carried out in Prussia, in the previous Cottbusische county in the district Cottbus was converted. Since then Ruben has belonged to the Frankfurt administrative district in the Brandenburg province . A school was built in 1826. According to the topographical-statistical overview of the administrative district of Frankfurt adO, Ruben had 41 residential buildings and 207 inhabitants around 1844 , was parish after Werben and administratively subordinated to the village of Papitz. In 1867 the rural community Ruben had 43 houses and 241 inhabitants. The place also had a windmill and eight farms. Towards the end of the 19th century, Ruben was still a strongly Sorbian community. For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a population of 240 in Ruben in the 1880s, all of whom were Sorbs .

In the 1890 census, the place had 252 inhabitants, in the census of December 1, 1910, 238 inhabitants were recorded for the community. At the beginning of the 20th century, Ruben recorded three development settlements . In 1926, exactly one hundred years after it was built, Ruben's village school was demolished and replaced by a new building. The building is now used by the Domowina locality group Ruben. In May 1934 the volunteer fire brigade was founded. Today this is a local branch of the Burg (Spreewald) fire department. After the end of the Second World War , the population of Ruben rose to 294 as a result of refugees from the formerly German eastern regions. On July 1, 1950, the Ruben community moved from the Cottbus district to the Lübben district . Two years later, on July 25, 1952, a comprehensive administrative reform took place in the GDR, with Ruben joining the Cottbus-Land district in the Cottbus district . In 1956, Ernst Tschernik counted a Sorbian-speaking population in Ruben of still 73.4%. On January 10, 1973 Ruben was incorporated after advertising.

After German reunification , Ruben was initially in the Cottbus district . On July 16, 1992 the administrative municipality of Werben merged with several neighboring municipalities to form the Burg (Spreewald) office .
