from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wehrhain is a district of the city of Schlieben in Brandenburg . The place has about 260 inhabitants on an area of ​​817 hectares. It is located about two kilometers east of the core city.

history

Until January 1, 1938, the place was called Werchluga , which was replaced by the freely invented name "Wehrhain" as part of the National Socialist Germanization of Sorbian place names. The name Werchluga can be interpreted as a place on the swamp .

In 1525, 780 willows were planted, and in 1533 another 90. Presumably there was an abundance of fruit growing. Oak and birch secured the need for wood. There was a mill in the village and a forge. The place did not have its own cemetery. There was a prayer house in the village that was used as a school from 1800. One of the first teachers was a shoemaker by trade. He practiced his trade during class and used the knee strap to chastise students. In the years after the Second World War , the school had to close several times due to epidemics, a lack of fuel for heating and structural defects. In 1946, the future writer Werner Heiduczek worked as a new teacher in Wehrhain.

The farmers lived, among other things, from growing hops and cutting peat .

On November 1, 2001, Wehrhain was incorporated into Schlieben.

Mill history

A water mill and a windmill are mentioned for 1820. In 1850 a miller is called Lehmann, in 1906 only one mill can be seen on the measuring table. The last mill, a very rare Erdholländermühle , belonged to Hugo Türk in 1926/18. His descendants operated the mill until the 1970s. Since the 1980s, the wingless mill had been left to decay. Rescue attempts were unsuccessful. The owners had finally applied for demolition.

On the night of December 31, 2010 to January 1, 2011, the landmark of Wehrhain, the old mill, was destroyed by a fire around 1:15 a.m.
