history

The place Schenkendöbern was first mentioned in 1465 with the spelling Schenckendobir . The place name is made up of Schenken and the word Döbern (from Sorbian Dubrawa for oak forest ) and describes the location of the place in a damp valley basin. It is unclear whether the name addition Schenken can be traced back to the Schenken von Landsberg family . In the Middle Ages there was a castle nearby that belonged to the Schenkendorf rulership , which was owned by the Lords of Wesenberg .

Around 1480 parts of Schenkendöbern were sold to the city of Guben. Nine years later, this changed to Landvogt Nickel von Köckritz , who sold the place to the Order of St. John in 1512 , and Schenkendöbern remained in their possession until the order was dissolved in 1811. The main source of income in the village was agriculture , and there was also little trade, as the place was conveniently located on the trunk road from Guben via Lübben to Leipzig . The first inn was mentioned in 1520. Until about 1750 the place had a moated castle .

Schenkendöbern was awarded by the Johanniter as a vassal property. In 1917 Schenkendöbern came into the possession of the Vorsteher family, who expanded the estate into a farm with cattle breeding and their own dairy . After the Second World War , the family was expropriated as a result of a land reform . The manor building was then used as a mayor's office, LPG kitchen and office. The land was divided between the farmers and resettlers of the village. Up to 1960 four LPGs were built in Schenkendöbern, including a cattle combine and a pig breeding facility. In 1969 the LPG was renamed into a cooperative plant production department " Wilhelm Pieck ". At the time of reunification , the KAP covered an area of ​​around 6,600 hectares of land.

After the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , Schenkendöbern came to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 . There the village was in the district of Guben in the administrative district of Frankfurt . On January 1, 1926, the previously independent community of Wilschwitz was incorporated. On July 25, 1952, Schenkendöbern was assigned to the newly formed Guben district in the Cottbus district .

After the reunification , Schenkendöbern was initially in the district of Guben and was assigned to the district of Spree-Neisse in the course of the Brandenburg district reform on December 6, 1993 . From September 23, 1993, Schenkendöbern together with 14 other municipalities formed the office of Schenkendöbern . On December 31, 1998, Schenkendöbern was merged with the municipalities of Grano , Groß Drewitz , Krayne , Lauschütz and Sembten to form the Lutzketal municipality . The community Lutzketal was merged on October 26, 2003 with the communities Atterwasch , Bärenklau , Gastrose-Kerkwitz , Grabko and Pinnow-Heideland to the new community Schenkendöbern .
