The place was completely devastated in 1968 in favor of the Schlabendorf-Nord open-cast lignite mine ; 364 residents were relocated. Tornow last belonged to the municipality of Kittlitz .

location

Tornow was in Niederlausitz , about nine kilometers south of the city of Lübbenau between Hindenberg in the north, Lichtenau in the east, Zinnitz in the south and Schlabendorf am See in the west. The former district of Tornow is now partly in the Lichtenauer See and in the Tornow lowlands named after the place in the Schlabendorf-Seese mining landscape .

history

Tornow was first mentioned in a document in the 14th century. There are different sources for the exact year. Either it was first mentioned in the Meißner diocese articles from 1346 or, according to different sources, in 1377. The place name comes from the Sorbian language and means “place where thorn bushes stand”.

After the agreements of the Congress of Vienna and the resulting change in the border lines, Lower Lusatia and thus also Tornow came to the Kingdom of Prussia . There, the site was in the district Senftenberg in the administrative district of Frankfurt . On January 1, 1926, the neighboring Lichtenau was incorporated into Tornow. On July 25, 1952, the community of Tornow was assigned to the then newly formed district of Calau . On January 25, 1968 Tornow was incorporated into Kittlitz . At this point, most of the residents had already left the place.

In the same year Tornow was devastated in favor of lignite mining in the Lausitz . 364 residents had to be resettled, 106 families moved to the Neustadt of Lübbenau, the remaining 22 families moved to other villages. In April 1968 the last inhabitant left the place.

At the end of the 1990s, a memorial stone was erected on the site of the former village location . The area where this stone is located is now closed for security reasons, in September 2014 a new memorial stone was erected on the shores of Lake Lichtenau in Lichtenau. At the same place, the former place name sign Tornows was temporarily located .
