history

The village of Wintdorf was first mentioned as Wendorf in 1463 . The place name describes a village inhabited by Wends . Wintdorf was initially a Vorwerk of the municipality of Leuthen . As such, the village was owned by the von Muschwitz family until they were expropriated in 1945. In 1595 a mansion was built in Wintdorf , which served as a manor . In the 18th century, this was expanded by two extensions on the south side. On December 21, 1969, the mansion was destroyed by fire, some remains of the wall are still standing today.

According to the topographical-statistical overview of the administrative district of Frankfurt ad O. there were 37 residential buildings in Wintdorf in 1844, the place then had 255 inhabitants. The village was parish to Leuthen. In 1867, Wintdorf only had 164 inhabitants in 25 buildings; for this year there is a windmill , a brickyard , a sheep farm and a cottage industry .

Wintdorf used to be a Sorbian village, which is also reflected in the place name. Arnošt Muka counted 150 inhabitants in Wintdorf for his statistics on the Sorbian-speaking population of Lausitz, of which 100 were Sorbs (67%) and 50 Germans. In the following time, the proportion of the Sorbian-speaking population in the village fell sharply , in 1956 Ernst Tschernik counted only one Sorbs out of 1018 inhabitants in the entire municipality of Leuthen-Wintdorf.

As a result of the Congress of Vienna , Niederlausitz and thus also Wintdorf came from the Kingdom of Saxony to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 . There the place was after the district formation in 1816 in the district Cottbus in the administrative district Frankfurt in the province Brandenburg . On January 1, 1926, Wintdorf was incorporated into Leuthen , this new municipality was initially called Leuthen-Wintdorf and was later renamed Leuthen again. After the end of the Second World War, Wintdorf became part of the Soviet occupation zone and later the GDR . During the district reform on July 25, 1952, the village came to the Cottbus-Land district in the Cottbus district . After the fall of the Berlin Wall , the Cottbus-Land district was renamed the Cottbus district . In the course of the Brandenburg district reform in 1993 , Wintdorf came to the newly founded Spree-Neisse district . On December 31, 2001, the municipality of Leuthen and Wintdorf were incorporated into the city of Drebkau .
