history

The current districts of the municipality belonged to the district of Lübben (Spreewald) in the province of Brandenburg since 1816 and to the district of Lübben in the GDR district of Cottbus from 1952 . Since 1993, the places have been in the Dahme-Spreewald district of Brandenburg.

The municipality of Spreewaldheide came into being on October 26, 2003 from the voluntary amalgamation of the previously independent municipalities of Butzen ( Bucyn ), Laasow ( Łaz ) and Sacrow-Waldow ( Zakrjow-Waldow ).

Slug

Butzen was first mentioned in a document on April 30, 1294. Even then it belonged to the Straupitz rulership , where the place remained until 1849. The local advisory board consists of 3 members. Height: 54 m above sea level NHN, associations: Butzen volunteer fire brigade, Butzen youth club

Sacrow

The first written mention of the place comes from 1347. At that time the place belonged to the rulership of Neu Zauche . In 1674 the new Zauche office was formed from this. Around 1820 the New Zauche Office was merged with the Lübben Office . In 1849 jurisdiction was transferred to the district court of Lübben; Sacrow was thus an independent municipality until 1966. The local advisory board consists of 3 members. Height: 54 m above sea level, population approx. 120, clubs: Gesangsverein Sacrow-Waldow eV, Sacrow volunteer fire department

Waldow

The first mention of the place comes from a document from 1420.

Height: 56 above sea level NHN, residents approx. 80, clubs: Gesangsverein Sacrow-Waldow eV, volunteer fire brigade Waldow

On December 15, 1966, Sacrow and Waldow had merged to form the Sacrow-Waldow community.
