history
Until the 18th century
The village was first mentioned in 1346 in a register of the diocese of Meißen , but has probably existed since around 1000 and is therefore one of the oldest villages in the Spreewald . The name goes back to the Sorbian wjerba (German: Weide). The church, which is mighty by local standards, shows that the former Angerdorf was once an important church village in the region and served as the seat of important noble families. The von Schönfeldt family lived on the manor from 1464 to 1945 .
Juliane von Schönfeldt from the Werben house was married to Otto Heinrich von Pannwitz ; their daughter Juliane Ulrike von Pannwitz (* 1746) married Joachim Friedrich von Kleist (landowner on the neighboring manor Guhrow ) in 1775 , their son was the famous poet Heinrich von Kleist .
19th and 20th centuries
In 1826 the first school building was built, which replaced the private temporary arrangements that had been common up until then. In the 1920s a new school was built, which today serves as a cultural center. At the end of the Second World War , the church was badly damaged in the fighting for courtship in April 1945. The manor house fell into disrepair after 1990 and was subsequently demolished. The estate park has run wild. The von Schönfeldt family's grave has been renovated.
Until the 20th century, a large part of the population spoke Sorbian . Arnošt Muka determined for his statistics of the Lusatian Sorbs in 1884/85 a total population of 1703, of which 1687 Sorbs (99%) and 16 Germans.
Administrative history
Werben belonged to the Cottbus district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg since 1816 and to the Cottbus-Land district in the GDR district of Cottbus from 1952 . The community has been in the Spree-Neisse district of Brandenburg since 1993.
On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Brahmow and on January 10, 1973 the municipality of Ruben was incorporated.
