history

Early history

The first traces of human settlement in the area of ​​today's municipality of Schraden come from the Bronze Age , which were found in the district of Kaupen and in 1956 near the chief forestry officer Buschhaus. While it was grave finds in Kaupen, it was a bronze rag ax at the chief forester's office in Buschhaus .

Schradenvorwerke

The Vorwerke in the area of ​​the municipality Schraden on a Prussian original table sheet (1841).

The first works in the area of ​​today's municipality Schraden were built at the end of the 17th century. The Oberbuschhaus Vorwerk belonged to the Elsterwerda estate . In 1727 it covered 76.36 hectares. The Vorwerk Rothes Buschhaus belonged to the Großkmehlen rule . In the middle of the 19th century, the Vorwerk Buschhaus also appeared on the maps. This also belonged to Großkmehlen. The Buschhaus later became the Huthaus and finally the Kaupen-Vorwerk .

It wasn't long before the two gentlemen got in each other's way during their activities in the Schraden, which led to legal battles. Such quarrels are documented as early as 1695 and 1707.

Another Vorwerk in the area of ​​today's municipality was Schradenau , which was later referred to as Lappige jacket due to its poor condition and appears under this name in topographical maps.

Separations in the middle of the 19th century and the first settlement in Schraden

As a result of the regulation of the Schwarzen Elster in the middle of the 19th century, separations became necessary in Schraden , as the groundwater level in the lowland had fallen by about one meter as a result of extensive amelioration work and a total of 80,000 acres of swamp was made usable. The municipality of Val Gardena north of the Neue Pulsnitz received extensive areas in the Schradenwald as compensation. The Plessa-Süd settlement was to be built here later. As a result of the separations, the reissue dam was also extended beyond the Vorwerk of the same name, which belongs to the Krauschützer domain, to Tettau.

Eastern Schraden.

At the beginning of the 20th century, considerations arose to settle the lowlands of the largely uninhabited Schraden. Extensive lignite deposits had been discovered above all in the northeast of the lowland, which led to rapid industrialization in the region with the construction of lignite opencast mines, briquette factories and power plants, which, among other things, led to an enormous population increase due to the increasing demand for workers. In an article published in the local history supplement Die Schwarze Elster of the Liebenwerdaer Kreisblatt in 1913, the agricultural district council described this development in the Liebenwerda district and the likely consequences. It was feared that farmers living in the region, who had to sell their property to the ever-expanding lignite mines, might migrate due to a lack of income opportunities in agriculture. Some of them had already been offered land for resettlement in Falkenberg and Theisa , but Schraden was the only option for a larger agricultural settlement.

The First World War began a year later . For the time being, it brought an abrupt end to the region’s further growth.

Foundation of the place and recent past

Main Street (2017)

State road L 63 (2017)

The Reich Settlement Act , which came into force shortly after the First World War on August 11, 1919 , ensured that the earlier considerations were taken up again. In August 1924, extensive forest, arable and meadow areas were sold in the eastern Schradenniederung, which were to be used for settlement construction. The municipality of Schraden was established here from 1929. The place was from the former gutszugehörigen outworks Lindenau / Großkmehlen and from parts of the districts established Frauwalde, Großthiemig and Hirschfeld. The community bears the same name as the Schraden lowland landscape surrounding it . In order to avoid disputes about the name of the municipality, this name was preferred to one of the associated places.

In the Second World War , 42 residents of the community died as soldiers. The land reform began in the Bad Liebenwerda district in autumn 1945. In accordance with the Land Reform Ordinance (BRVO), private and state property over 100 hectares with all buildings, living and dead inventory and other agricultural property was expropriated and divided. By March 1, 1946, a total of 9580 hectares had been expropriated and distributed in the district.

The Princess of Lynar , owner of a large part of the land belonging to Schraden, also lost land as a result of the 100 hectare limit being exceeded. In the course of the land reform, district statistics published later on April 3, 1948, showed that 293 hectares of land were expropriated.

As early as 1878, a school and prayer house, the Luisenschule, was built in the east of the community. The church belonging to it was originally parish to Großkmehlen, but in 1978 it changed to the parish of Lindenau. From the former Luisenschule a polytechnic high school developed in the GDR . After the political change in the GDR, the school was closed. The building is now used as a village community center.

Administrative affiliation

Since its foundation in 1929, Schraden has belonged to the Liebenwerda district in the Prussian province of Saxony and in the state of Saxony-Anhalt of the SBZ and GDR . With the territorial reform carried out in the GDR in 1952, Schraden came to the newly founded Bad Liebenwerda district in the Cottbus district . Since some areas of the Bad Liebenwerda district were assigned to the Senftenberg district , Schraden became the easternmost municipality in the new district.

After the reunification , Schraden was initially in the Bad Liebenwerda district in Brandenburg, where the municipality joined the Plessa office in 1992 . After the district reform in Brandenburg on December 6, 1993 , the municipality of Schraden was assigned to the newly founded district of Elbe-Elster .

Sights and culture

The Schradener church with adjoining school was built in 1878. The owner of the Großkmehlener Rittergut Freiherr Karl Eduard Zachariae von Lingenthal had the building built to make it easier for the Schraden children to attend school and the adults to attend church services. In honor of his wife, the complex was named Luisenschule .

There is also a memorial in Schraden for the local residents who died in the First and Second World Wars . The monument made of field stones, which is dated between 1920 and 1926, is surrounded by a triangular decorative square and is on the list of monuments of the state of Brandenburg.
