Wiping base
Wischgrund was a district of Kostebrau , which was excavated in 1983 by the Klettwitz opencast mine .
history
Wischgrund was in Lower Lusatia , and it was hardly noticed in terms of geography . Just like Kostebrau, it belonged to the Senftenberg Office , which from 1448 belonged to the Electorate of Saxony . The places were parish after Klettwitz . After the office was transferred to the Kingdom of Prussia as a result of the Congress of Vienna in 1815 and the onset of industrialization after the discovery of lignite from 1860, both places changed from farming villages to mining communities. This was associated with an increase in population. In 1880 Arnošt Muka described the ethnic situation in the parish of Klettwitz in such a way that the entire parish with all its villages except Schipkau was Germanized in the 19th century and only the old people understood Sorbian . In 1953 Kostebrau with Wischgrund came from the Calau district to the newly founded Senftenberg district . The site was demolished in 1983 by the Klettwitz opencast mine. 185 residents were relocated.
Wiping base collection
Very well-preserved tertiary fossil plants (mainly Sequoia ) were found in an old water clay lens in a former brickworks pit . These fossils are exhibited in the Cottbus Natural History Museum. The so-called Wischgrund flora was recreated in the outdoor facilities of the Museum of Nature and Environment in a Spreeaue and expanded in 1995 at the 1995 Federal Horticultural Show in Cottbus.
