history

Sellessen is located in the Sorbian / Wendish settlement area and is called Zelezna in Lower Sorbian, from Zelezo for "iron".

The first documentary mention of Sellessen goes back to the year 1350 as a place with the name Selesne . However, the first traces of settlement can be traced back to 200 AD, when lawn iron ore was smelted . The main livelihood of the population was agriculture until the industrial revolution . With the onset of industrialization, it was then also possible to earn a living in the nearby pits , the cloth and other factories in Spremberg. In 1873 a large fire caused considerable damage to the village. Bühlow, which was first mentioned in 1572 as Belo , was affected by floods and floods in 1897 and 1899. In October 1938, the previously independent community of Muckrow was incorporated into Sellessen. Muckrow was first mentioned as Mokraw in 1527 . The end of the Second World War came for Sellessen on April 20, 1945 with the invasion of the troops of the 1st Ukrainian Front . Between 1958 and 1965, the Spremberg dam was built north of Sellessen , the primary task of which today is flood protection. In June 1973, the previously independent Bühlow was incorporated into Sellessen by a district council resolution. From May 1992 Sellessen belonged to the Office Hornow / Simmersdorf . On September 27, 1998 Sellessen was incorporated into the town of Spremberg as a district by referendum.
