Teichhäuser is an officially designated residential area in the Theisa district of the spa town of Bad Liebenwerda in the Elbe-Elster district in southern Brandenburg . This is located on the right side of the western entrance to Theisa. It is locally marked by a street of the same name, which branches off from Landesstraße 653.

history

The pond houses are originally one of the town's three colonies . In addition to the pond houses, these were the newly laid out location of the village of Thalberg to the west and the brick houses to the northeast . These colonies were established by the Theisa manor from the middle of the 18th century . This is probably how the pond houses were built first. They were followed by the Thalberg colony (from 1789) and later the brick houses. Even today, the pond houses are clearly visible in a semicircle around an area where there was once a pond. This pond was fed by a body of water called Premsniz or Premnitz and then finally also flowed over the Premsniz into the Kleine Elster . According to an article by the local researcher and former Theisa teacher Rudolf Matthies (1909–1996) published in the Schwarzen Elster in 1937 , the pond was probably no longer there by 1800. In a text published by the historian Christian Ernst Weisse (1766–1832) in 1792, this area is also referred to as a miserable break . In one published in 1847 Urmesstischblatt this pond and the small river of Premsniz are no longer listed. Another pond was created near the colony, which also later disappeared.

Like the other two colonies in Theisa, Teichhäuser did not have its own land. They probably served the manor primarily to recruit workers. Around 1790 the pond houses even had their own local judge and until 1780 there is also a known blacksmith who lived here. By 1840, 22 houses are said to have been built in the colony, with another 15 houses added by the First World War . According to Matthies, the pond houses colony had grown to around 100 houses by just before World War II . In addition, the pond houses even formed until 1893 a private Gutsbezirk , which together with the Theisaer manor, his other two colonies and other places, from 1874 to the District Maasdorf of the circle Liebenwerda belonged.
