Thamm ( Lower Sorbian Gat ) was a former municipality that was incorporated into the city of Senftenberg on October 1, 1920 . The place is today in the area of the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district in the state of Brandenburg .
location
Thamm was northwest of Senftenberg and bordered clockwise to the north, beginning with the communities Rauno , Senftenberg, Jüttendorf , Neusorge and Sauo . The historical community center was today's August-Bebel-Straße and Rudolf-Breitscheid-Straße in Senftenberg. The place was thus on the Lübbenau – Kamenz and Grossenhain – Cottbus railway lines .
history
The place name of Thamm is an abbreviation for Auf'm Thamm or Auf dem Damm , which goes back to the fact that the settlement was built on a dam. The same motif can be found in the naming of the neighboring settlement Neusorge. The Lower Sorbian place name "Gat" literally means "pond". Thamm was first mentioned in a document in 1550 as the Vorwerk of the Jüttendorf village, after the inhabitants of a Vorwerk that had been abandoned after the expansion of the Senftenberg castle pond were settled there. The inhabitants of the place were mostly cottagers . During the Thirty Years' War , the villages of Thamm and Jüttendorf were set on fire on the orders of Imperial General Melchior von Hatzfeldt , and most of the place burned down.
On October 1, 1920, Thamm was incorporated into Senftenberg. The place name has disappeared from maps today and Thamm is completely enclosed by Senftenberg's urban area.
