history
Local history
A Petir de Spre was first mentioned in a document in 1390. In 1403 Hans von Kottwitz bought the interest of some villages in the Rothenburg area, including Spreh .
The Spree was originally parish to Rothenburg. At the beginning of the 16th century, the construction of a separate chapel began, the construction of which was confirmed by the Bishop of Meissen in January 1520. It was probably not completed due to lack of money or was no longer necessary due to the Reformation that began a few years later , so that already in the 19th century there was nothing in the village to indicate its previous existence.
After a devastating fire in 1712, the manor owner Hieronymus Christoph von der Gabelentz had the associated castle rebuilt. In 1748 he had a granary built in scrap wood , which is now a listed building. Around a quarter of a century later, the first demonstrable school lessons in the Spree took place in 1776.
After the Congress of Vienna in 1815 , the Kingdom of Saxony had to cede a large part of Upper Lusatia to the Kingdom of Prussia . As a result, the Spree community came to the newly founded district of Rothenburg (Ob. Laus.) In the province of Silesia in the following year .
At the beginning of the 20th century, the estate was divided between the two daughters of Friedrich von Martin. In the years 1919/1920 a castle in the English country house style was built on Gut Niederspree.
The Spreeaufwurf district, located about five kilometers away in the Spreer Heide, was reclassified in 1938 to the community of Neusorge to the south of it . Although a meadow near the Ufwurfe was mentioned in a Görlitz interest register as early as 1539 , the place was first mentioned in a document in 1756.
After the Second World War , the two estates were expropriated and resettled and their lands were distributed to poor people and new farmers as part of the land reform. An agricultural production cooperative (LPG) was only founded in 1958, it was affiliated to the LPG Hähnichen in 1972.
The municipality, which has been Saxon again since 1945, came to the Niesky district ( Dresden district ) through the administrative reform of 1952 . From a church perspective, the Spree belonged to Rothenburg until 1967, since then the place has been parish to the nearby Hähnichen Church.
On January 1, 1994, the communities of Quolsdorf and Trebus merged with Hähnichen. The Spree community remained independent for four more years and only joined Hähnichen on January 1, 1998. In terms of area, Spree is the largest district in the municipality with 17.5 km².

From 1825 to 1905 the population increased from 426 to 601, after which a slight decrease was recorded until 1939. After the war, the number of refugees and displaced persons rose and reached 770 in 1950. In the following four decades, the population fell to 420, and this trend continued in the first few years after the reunification. At the turn of the millennium, the Spree had around 430 inhabitants.
Place name
The place name is derived from the Weißen Schöps , which, like its estuary, the Schwarze Schöps , was also referred to as the Spree in the Middle Ages and early modern times . Thus the place Spree shares a name-historical development with Sproitz and Sprey on the Schwarzen Schöps and Spreewitz at the mouth of the Kleiner Spree .
Documented forms are (zur) Spreh (1403), (zur) Sprehe (1422), (de) Chaff and (von der) Sprey (1423), Sprewe (1447) and Spree (1448). Until the final written form of the place name towards the end of the 18th century, some of these forms - sometimes with different endings - return, and Bartholomäus Scultetus also used the form Spräe .
Written forms of the Sorbian place name are Sprewje (1848) and Sprowje (1886). The form Spr j ewje seems to be more recent and is similar to the Sorbian names of Sprey (Sprjowje) , Spreewitz (Sprjejcy) and Sproitz (Sprjojcy) . The use of the Sorbian name is no longer in use today, the place was already outside the Sorbian settlement area in the 1880s.
