history
From the 14th century to the Second World War
Ruhland was founded as a fishing village and was a church village before 1200. Urn finds suggest a settlement as early as the end of the Neolithic Age (approx. 2500 BC). In 1317 the place was first mentioned as a Rulant. The place came in 1319 with the change of Upper Lusatia from the Margraviate of Brandenburg to Bohemia. In 1332 the Kaupenburg was first mentioned in a sales contract as "Schloss Rulant". In 1397, Ruhland was first mentioned as a city in a document from King Wenceslas IV of Bohemia . In the Middle Ages and in the early modern period , Ruhland was a border and customs post between Upper Lusatia and Kursachsen .
Ruhland was destroyed by fires several times, including in 1542, later in the 17th century in 1624, 1661 and 1648. On August 22, 1768 almost all buildings fell victim to another major fire: 184 town houses, 60 barns as well as public buildings and the church. 20 houses survived the fire. One of them still exists today and is located on Dresdner Straße, the year 1672 is indicated on the weather vane . The reconstruction from 1768–1774 was carried out according to plans by Samuel Locke . The church was rebuilt in its current form in the baroque style between 1772 and 1774. Ruhland received the wood for the tower from the neighboring municipality of Zschornegosda (part of today's Schwarzheide ). On April 1, 1870, Ruhland was connected to the Grossenhain – Cottbus railway and experienced an economic boom. The local industry, especially fishing and the shoemaking trade, supplied the surrounding area until 1900. From the 19th century, the city was characterized by the nearby open-cast brown coal mine. Changed groundwater conditions (greater subsidence, resulting in an influx of iron-bearing strata water ) meant that the bathing establishment, which opened on May 23, 1914, could later only be used as fishing waters.
During the Second World War , Ruhland was repeatedly attacked by allied aviation associations . This was first done on June 21, 1944 by 123 B-17 Flying Fortress of the 8th US Air Force . As part of Operation Frantic, the machines had the BRABAG hydrogenation plant in Schwarzheide as their target and landed after the attack on airfields in the USSR . On August 24th and September 11th, 1944, further attacks followed as part of the air battle over the Ore Mountains . A major attack planned for October 7th with 333 USAAF machines was not carried out due to poor visibility; Dresden and Freiberg were bombed instead . The same thing happened on February 15, 1945, when another planned attack by 459 aircraft on Ruhland could not be carried out and therefore Cottbus was attacked. Further attacks followed in the first half of 1945. A total of 18 houses were destroyed in the village, 140 residents were killed.
Changing rulers
Since 1397 Ruhland was owned by the von Gersdorff family . In 1618 they sold the Ruhland Castle (Kaupenburg) to a Gottfried von Wölfersdorff in Bernsdorf and in 1622 the estate (Ruhland, Guteborn, Arnsdorf and Biehlen) to Hans Georg von Hoym . Gotthelf Adolf von Hoym died in 1783 and his property fell to his daughter Louise-Henriette, wife of Heinrich XLII, who later became Prince Reuss zu Schleiz .
In 1849 the jurisdiction of the landlords ended ( patrimonial jurisdiction ). Adelheid zu Reuss-Schleiz died in 1880, and her property went to daughter Anna zu Bentheim-Tecklenburg-Rheda . After her death in 1902, the property fell to her eldest daughter, Princess Luise zu Schönburg-Waldenburg, mother of the last lord of the castle on Guteborn, Prince Ulrich, 6th Prince of Schönburg-Waldenburg .
The coats of arms of the noble families are in the coat of arms hall of the manor and on the patronage box of the Protestant church.
In the DDR
Youth opposition
In the 1960s, the "Zollhaus" Ruhland, a restaurant with a dance hall located near the motorway exit, gained supraregional importance for the development of a western-oriented youth culture that was independent of the ruling SED . Even after the Leipzig beat demo, the resolute landlady Trude Wolf repeatedly invited beat bands that were banned by the licensing authorities or undesirable in the GDR , which attracted hitchhikers from all over the GDR. Ruhland became a "Mecca of the Eastern Hippies". In the 1980s, the landlady's grandson mainly organized blues concerts, among others. a. with the cult band Monokel .
School garden
The biology teacher Horst Bormann , with the involvement of students in school lessons and in their free time, achieved a design of the school garden with beds and special facilities and facilities, which was considered exemplary and exemplary (1955 consultation garden and then model school garden in the Senftenberg district, a model example in the district Cottbus) and became known throughout the GDR through a television documentary. This school garden had to be given up after 1990; a modest replacement is located behind the gym on Ortrander Strasse.
Since 1990
Inner city renovation 1993–2015
Four years after the political change , the city council decided to define the 10 hectare redevelopment area "Ruhlander city center" with the goals
- Strengthening the role of the town center
- Improvement of the townscape
- Improvement of housing conditions
- Increasing the attractiveness of the city center
with advice and support from the DSK . More than 70 private buildings were funded and the public space was completely renovated.
Administrative history
Ruhland belonged to the Bohemian crown until 1635 and then passed with the Lausitz to the Electorate of Saxony . In 1815 the city came to Prussia with the entire northern and eastern Upper Lusatia , where it belonged to the Hoyerswerda district - first in the province of Brandenburg (1815-25), then alternately in the provinces of Silesia (1825-1919 and 1938-1941) and Lower Silesia ( 1919-1938 and 1941-1945). Since the district was west of the Oder-Neisse line , it became part of the Soviet occupation zone in 1945 and incorporated into the state of Saxony . In 1952 Ruhland came to the newly founded Senftenberg district in the GDR - Cottbus district (1990-1993 in the state of Brandenburg). Since the district reform in 1993 , the community has been in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district.
Incorporations
In 1974 Arnsdorf was incorporated into Ruhland at its own request; until then only the first houses belonged to Ruhland.
On March 13, 2012, the Sorgenteich residential area, which had previously belonged to Ruhland, was reclassified to Guteborn.
History of the districts
By the end of 1928, Ruhland was divided into a city and an estate district. The customs house belonging to Naundorf (part of today's Schwarzheide) was incorporated into the municipality in 1910. In the same year, the first houses were built in the colony east of the railway lines (later “Neue Sorge”) along what is now Theodor-Schmidt-Strasse. In the west of the city, green spaces and parks (Prinzess-Luisen-Weg, Ehrenhain, Heldenhain) were created between 1908 and 1922 .
The Schönburgsau settlement, which was built between 1921 and 1923, initially belonged to the estate, from 1922 to the district of Ruhland. Prince Ulrich, 6th Prince of Schönburg-Waldenburg , had the forest cut down west of the Schwarzwasser and handed over building land to settlers. From 1930 these properties were sold to the highest bidder, also to people with work in Lauchhammer and Schwarzheide. The settlement was expanded significantly between 1935 and 1938.
On May 30, 1997, the groundbreaking ceremony for the "Neue Sorge residential park" took place, which significantly expanded the residential area east of the railway line.
