The first documentary mention in 1202 referred to the place as Cisove , which is confirmed as the property of the Dobrilugk Monastery, founded a few decades earlier . The place was probably created in the course of the German development through the settlement of Slavic farmers.

In 1217, Theisa came into the possession of Count Friedrich von Brehna in exchange for Kauxdorf with 12 hooves and Mönchsdorf, a deserted area near Koßdorf with 7½ hooves, and when the Count's House of Brehna died out in 1290, it fell to the Duke of Saxony-Wittenberg .

In 1499 the place was probably divided when the brothers Hans and Matthes von Naptitz , who owned the place at the time, each sold their share. Until the Reformation , the pilgrimage route (Pilarum), which ran between Knissen and Theisa, had a special meaning. On it, the pilgrims from Brandenburg to Liebenwerda to the chapel of the Holy Cross moved . From 1555 the manor Theisa can be traced, which originally arose from four bought farm estates and from 1596 belonged to Abraham von Zschorna. The original owners Jacob Richter, Marx Richter, Urban Schmidt and Georg Schade only left their houses with a garden and a life as a day laborer after laying the farm .

As a result of the Thirty Years War and further changes of ownership, the fields of the place were no longer cultivated and in 1643 Theisa was completely desolate. In 1672 Dorothea Elisabeth von Birkholz bought both parts of the village and thus reunited it. In 1681, according to a list of farmers, there were again eight farmers in the village. In 1741 a windmill was built in the village.

In 1835 Theisa owned 54 houses with 274 inhabitants, 6 horses, 165 head of cattle, 392 sheep, 9 goats and 49 pigs.

From 1844 to 1845 the village was surveyed by a royal surveyor. Until the separation in 1848, the manor owned 683 acres in around 85 pieces. The land boundaries, the paths and ditches and the Kleiner Elster were also to be straightened out , and some community property (around 30 acres) should be divided up. Above all, the fees and services of the hüfner and gardener to the manor had to be replaced by land donation. After the reallocation, not only the location but also the size of the property was changed. The manor now owned 847 acres.

In the period from 1877 to 1913, the Theisa estate changed hands three times before Otto Haberhaufe bought it in 1915, who owned it until it was expropriated in 1950. After that, the property became public property.

On April 22, 1945 the Red Army marched into the village, to which the village was handed over without a fight through an initiative of Emil Keil.

On December 6, 1993 Theisa was incorporated into the city of Bad Liebenwerda.

From June 14th to 16th, 2002 there was a festival weekend for the 800th anniversary of the first mention of the place. The highlight was the inauguration of a new bell tower, which could be built with donations and sponsorship money and in which hangs a bell from the year 1827, cast by the Reisinger company. The old iron bell tower, which had existed since the beginning of the 20th century, had to be dismantled and scrapped after repeated relocations due to its dilapidation. Pastor Meißner from Bad Liebenwerda gave his blessing to the bell on June 14, 2002.

In 2003 the place became a nature park municipality . Theisa took part in this competition for the first time, which is organized annually by the Niederlausitzer Heidelandschaft nature park .

In 2005 the 11.50 m high guild tree was erected. Craftsmen and traders present themselves in the center of the village. For five years, a total of eight trades have the opportunity to present themselves on the guild tree for a fee.

Original parish structure

In addition to the actual main town, today's Oberdorf , Theisa owned three so-called colonies: brick houses , pond houses , which got its name from a large pond that still existed at the time, and Thalberg from 1785 . Thalberg was already 1235 officially mentioned for the first time, but fell later Knissen the power struggles between supporters of Dobrilugk Abbey on one side and the Ileburgern followed their other hand to the victims and was the latest since the Thirty Years' War , desolate. For a long time, Thalberg did not have its own field and was only given a municipal area again in 1936 with the allocation of Knissen and became independent.

population

The residents of Theisa have always farmed and raised cattle . In addition, the Kleine Elster was very rich in fish in the past, so that fishing could be done. They also grew wine .
