history

The round village Trado appears for the first time in a document from 1374 with the name Matei Tradow . The place name can be derived from the Sorbian tradać 'deficiency' or ' emergency suffering '. Trado was part of the Skaska manor as a preliminary work . As early as 1658 the place was given its current name Trado. In 1788, north of Trado on the Schwarzen Elster, a mill used as a millet mill was built. This building, now known as the crab mill , is a listed building and has been converted into a residential building.

On January 1, 1969, the Trado municipality merged with Döbra and Skaska to form the new municipality of Skaska-Döbra . This was dissolved in the course of a municipal area reform on January 1, 1994, Trado has been part of the municipality of Oßling since then .

Population and language

The population of Trados in 1777 consisted of six possessed men as well as three gardener and four cottage industry families. In 1834 the place had 106 inhabitants, this number sank to 86 inhabitants by 1890, but then rose again to 120 by 1910. In the following years the population was largely constant at 105 to 110 inhabitants. After the end of the Second World War , the population rose to 130 as a result of refugees from eastern Germany, and the number has been falling continuously since then. Most of the residents of Trado are of the Evangelical Lutheran denomination.

Trado originally belonged to the Upper Sorbian language area . According to the statistics on the Sorbian population in Lusatia by Arnošt Muka , Trado only had Sorbian-speaking residents in 1884. In 1956 Ernst Tschernik counted only 22 active Sorbian-speaking residents out of 112 inhabitants and six others with knowledge of Sorbian (33% in total); Meanwhile, Sorbian has largely disappeared from everyday language use. Unlike the Catholic neighboring town of Sollschwitz, Trado no longer belongs to the official Sorbian settlement area .
