history
Early history
In 1955, two well-preserved graves from the Bronze Age were discovered in Staupitz. These graves were surrounded by boulders arranged in a circle. One of the graves contained 14 urns (some of them humpback urns), the size of which reached a height of approx. 30 cm and a diameter of approx. 40 cm. In terms of their design, these belonged to the Lusatian culture and came from around 1200 BC.
First documentary mention
In 1231 Staupitz was first mentioned under the name "Stupozke" in the "Document Book of the Dobrilugk Monastery and its possessions". In 1309, according to a document, there were border disputes between Staupitz and the neighboring village of Wergen. While Wergen and the neighboring village of Langendorf were destroyed in the course of the Hussite Wars in 1430, Staupitz was probably spared from destruction.
"The villagers of the Dobrilugk monastery area according to the land register of 1546" probably contains the oldest register of inhabitants of the place, in which 19 farmers and 6 gardeners are recorded at that time.
From the Thirty Years War to the present
In 1643, at the time of the Thirty Years' War , six farms were reported to have burned down in the village. A short time later, in 1685, the Staupitz Church was completely renovated due to its age.
In 1723 the community had 16 hofners , 6 gardeners and 6 cottagers. On June 9, 1759, there was a major fire in the village, which also destroyed the church and the inn. The church was rebuilt in 1786. The foundation stone for the separate church tower was laid on July 29, 1889 and its topping-out ceremony was celebrated on October 14, 1889.
On April 22, 1945, Staupitz was occupied by Red Army troops. In the afternoon of the following day there was fighting, as isolated units of the Wehrmacht passed through the town on their way to the west.
After the founding of the GDR , Staupitz belonged to the Finsterwalde district in the former Cottbus district . The village was a separate municipality in municipal association Rückersdorf - Oppelhain , which at that time was the first of its kind in the district of Cottbus. Since 1992 the place has been incorporated into the then newly formed Plessa Office .
From the voluntary amalgamation of the previously independent municipalities of Gorden and Staupitz, the municipality of Gorden-Staupitz was created on December 31, 2001 .
Mills
A windmill in Staupitz can already be proven for the years 1630, 1771, 1781, 1816 and 1844.
The first windmiller known by name is Simon Freund. His name appears in a document from 1663 in which Duke Christian von Sachsen issued the inheritance confirmation to the hereditary jugs of the Dobrilugk lordship. The mill, which was designated as a post mill in 1816 , and the property belonging to it remained in the possession of the Freund family until 1840. Karl Lanzky then bought the property with the inn, brewery and 300 acres of land for 6,000 thalers . In 1875 the windmill was sold again; the estate in 1880. The mill, which was located on Mühlenweg and last belonged to a Stephan family, was demolished in 1940.
A second windmill, according to tradition a Dutch windmill , can be found in Staupitz from 1816 onwards. It was located about one kilometer north of the locality on the Mühlenberg, which is still recognizable today, on what was then Poststrasse. Also called "Schimangksche Windmill" called mill belonged to 1877 probably the cottagers Traugott Schimangk.
