history

14th to 19th century

Church in Pinnow

The place Krayne with 184 inhabitants (status: 2004) was first mentioned in 1465. In the same year there is also talk of a place called Schenkendobir . The name is made up of "Schenken" and the Sorbian "Döbern" ( Dubrawa , German: oak forest ), which indicates the location of the place in a damp hollow in a forest. It is unclear whether "Schenken" can be traced back to a wealthy family of Schenken von Landsberg families . The place was connected to a castle from the Middle Ages, which belonged to the Schenkendorf rulership , which in turn was owned by the Lords of Wesenburg . Around 1480 parts of the village were sold to the town of Guben and already nine years later they moved to Landvogt Nickel von Köckritz, who in turn sold the community to the Order of St. John in 1512 . There it remained in possession until the order was dissolved in 1811. The estate was lent on by the Johannites as a vassal estate. During these centuries there was a small amount of trade on the trunk road from Guben via Lieberose and Lübben to Leipzig . Agriculture was also the main source of income for the community. The farmers cultivated rye , barley , oats , buckwheat , flax , peas , millet and hemp , and from 1790 also hops . Potatoes have been grown since the end of the 18th century . From 1520 an inn is mentioned, until 1750 a moated castle. In 1840 the estate was owned by a widow Breitenfeld.

20th century

Schenkendöbern war memorial

The estate changed hands several times until it was expanded by the Vorsteher family in 1917 into an agricultural business with cattle breeding and dairy . From 1924, bottled milk and other dairy products were sold to Guben. After the end of the Second World War , the headmaster was expropriated by the effects of the land reform . The building was inhabited by resettlers, later used as a mayor's office, LPG kitchen and office. The surrounding areas were distributed to farmers and resettlers. A total of four LPGs had been built by 1960, as well as a cattle combine on Ochsenberg and a pigsty in Schenkendöberner Vorwerk. By 1969, the KAP “F 97” had grown to seven LPGs - with Groß Gastrose 1976 the last remaining LPG. In that year the LPG was renamed into a Cooperative Plant Production Department (KAP) with the name " Wilhelm Pieck ". Until reunification, it comprised an area of ​​6600 hectares of arable land and meadows. In 1989, Groß Gastrose parted ways with Schenkendöbern; one year later Groß Drewitz.

The Jänschwalde opencast mine is located south of the municipality . In 2007, plans were announced according to which Vattenfall wanted to expand the opencast mine, which will expire in 2019, to the north. The Schenkendöbern districts of Kerkwitz, Grabko and Atterwasch with a total of around 900 inhabitants would have been affected by the resettlement. On March 30, 2017, the new owner LEAG finally announced that it would not expand Jänschwalde.

Administrative history

Atterwasch, Bärenklau, Grabko, Grano, Groß Drewitz, Groß Gastrose, Kerkwitz, Krayne, Lauschütz, Lübbinchen, Schenkendöbern, Sembten and Taubendorf belonged to the district of Guben , Pinnow, Reicherskreuz and Staakow to the district of Lübben (Spreewald) in the Prussian province of Brandenburg since 1817 . All locations were incorporated into the Guben district in the GDR district of Cottbus in 1952 . Since 1993 they have been in the Brandenburg district of Spree-Neisse.

Today's community was created on October 26, 2003 from the voluntary amalgamation of six previously independent communities. In 1998, the predecessor municipalities had in some cases already merged from several municipalities after Schenkendöbern had been declared the new administrative seat of the office in 1997.

Historical monuments

Cenotaph for Soviet prisoners of war and forced laborers in the forest southwest of Kerkwitz along the forest path to Grabko, which commemorates the numerous dead in a prisoner of war camp, the history of which is still waiting to be dealt with.

District Reicherskreuz

The village consists of a closed ensemble of forest workers' houses, which were mainly built from field stones. It is under monument protection (area monument). The half-timbered church from the 18th century is also worth seeing. In the woods around the village, where the wood is fetched today, the Soviet army fired until they left. In fact, until the fall of the Wall, Soviet tanks rolled through the middle of the village in Reicherskreuz. Therefore the place got a real village street very late. The tanks also rolled across the beautiful Reicherskreuzer Heide, which is located between Pinnow and Reicherskreuz and has an observation tower from which one has an overview of the entire heather landscape. The heather area is still contaminated with ammunition from years of military use, which is why one should not leave the paved roads. The village can be reached from all sides through the forest. Reicherskreuz currently has around 54 residents.
