history

Tettau was first mentioned in 1220 when the witness Lupoldus de Tettowe is mentioned in a document . The place name of the place laid out as a street village can be interpreted as Auort , the village was in the tip of the Upper Lusatia and was a corner post across from Mückenberg (today part of Lauchhammer). The place name developed from Tetthaw 1451 to Tetaw 1455 and Tettaw 1499 to Tetten in 1590 and Tettau in 1604.

From 1370 Tettau belongs to the countries of the crown of Bohemia . From 1530 the place was part of the parish of Lindenau. In 1611 it was part of the Ruhland manor and from 1679 the village belonged to the Lindenau manor. In 1802 the manor in Tettau burned down. In the early modern period, the Tettau people began to reclaim the damp lowlands of the neighboring Schraden by digging ditches. However, it was not until the 19th century that the area was drained with the dikes of the Black Elster and the straightening of the Pulsnitz.

In 1911 the cemetery and the sports field were laid out. 1953, the Tettau waterworks was built.

Administrative history

After the Congress of Vienna , Tettau came from the Kingdom of Saxony to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 and belonged to the province of Brandenburg until 1825 and later to the district of Hoyerswerda in the province of Silesia . Since the district was west of the Oder-Neisse line , it became part of the Soviet occupation zone in 1945 and incorporated into the state of Saxony . In 1952 Tettau came to the newly founded Senftenberg district in the GDR - Cottbus district (1990–1993 in the state of Brandenburg). Since the district reform in 1993 , the community has been in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district. Tettau has been part of the Ortrand office since 1992.

On May 19, 1974, the neighboring villages of Frauendorf and Lindenau were incorporated into Tettau. Lindenau was spun off from Tettau on May 6, 1990 and became an independent municipality. From December 5th to 6th, 1993, Frauendorf was spun off.
