Zerre , in Upper Sorbian Drětwja , is a district of the Spreetal municipality in Upper Lusatia ( Saxony ). Zerre is also the northernmost town in the Bautzen district . From 1936 to 1947 the place was called Spreetal . Zerre is part of the official Sorbian settlement area .
geography
Zerre is five kilometers south of Spremberg in the form of a street village on the old road between Spremberg and Hoyerswerda . The border between Saxony and Brandenburg runs north of Zerre, behind which lies the Spremberg suburb of Trattendorf . To the south lies the church village of Spreewitz , to the west is the Schwarze Pump industrial park and to the north is the village of Schwarze Pumpe .
The Spree flows east of the town . Behind it is an extensive forest area.
history
The first mention in 1577 and the place name of German origin suggest that it was a matter of a new settlement after the formerly northern village of Schilda was burned down in 1520 and only the mill remained.
The Zerrer mill was u. a. mentioned in a document in 1635. In 1652, the Thirty Years War was over for four years and the entire Lusatia belongs to Saxony, a stately Hoyerswerdsches Vorwerk is occupied.
After the Kingdom of Saxony fought on France's side in the Napoleonic Wars , the northeastern part of Upper Lusatia and all of Lower Lusatia had to be ceded to Prussia after the Congress of Vienna in 1815. Initially, Zerre belonged to the Brandenburg district of Spremberg (Lausitz) , but came under Silesian administration in 1825 with the separation of the district of Hoyerswerda .
A mandatory fire brigade was established in the 19th century . Every male resident over the age of 18 had the duty to appear in the event of a fire and to help with the fire fighting. The Zerre volunteer fire department emerged from this compulsory fire department in 1929.
At the beginning of the 20th century, coal was found near the village. The first coal mining took place as early as 1908. In 1929 the construction of a colony began between Zerre and Spreewitz. This originally belonged to Spreewitz, but the residents advocated that they should belong to the municipality of Zerre. This request was granted in 1936 and the district called Zerre-Kolonie. Two years later, Zerre was incorporated into Spreewitz.
After the end of World War II , the Soviet Army took possession of a garage complex. Wide paths to the tank farm north of Runde were laid through the eastern forests .
In the time of the GDR , the surrounding opencast mines as well as the nearby Schwarze Pump gas combine and the Trattendorf power station had an impact on the further development of the area. While up to 80% of the population worked in the energy sector, there was also increased environmental pollution.
In December 1993, the fire brigade was handed over a fire truck worth around 250,000 DM by the Saxon Interior Minister Heinz Eggert .
The municipalities of the administrative association Burgneudorf ( Burghammer , Neustadt and Spreewitz ) merged on January 1, 1996 to form the municipality of Spreetal .
Population development
| year | Residents |
|---|---|
| 1825 | 113 |
| 1871 | 243 |
| 1905 | 276 |
| 1925 | 333 |
| 2009 | 263 |
In 1777, in Zerre wirtschafteten eleven possessed man and three cottagers . The number of economies did not change until around 1850. The eleven farmers were nine full farmers and two half farmers .
The first census with equal consideration of each individual in 1825 showed a population of 113 inhabitants. This number increased to 243 by the time the empire was founded in 1871. Sorbs still made up the majority of the population at that time . Arnošt Muka identified 243 Sorbs out of 263 inhabitants at the beginning of the 1880s. By the time of the Weimar Republic , the number of inhabitants increased again to 333 and thus for the first time almost reached the same level as the municipality of Spreewitz, which had 352 inhabitants in 1925.
Place name
The origin of the place name is not clearly established. Traditional forms include Zehre (1577), Zerra (w) (1635, 1652) and Zerre (1791). It could be derived from the Middle High German tugging “tear, pull” or zern , High German zehren “consume”. This would make Zerre a place where something was pulled, pulled or consumed. A derivation from a personal name cannot be entirely ruled out.
The Sorbian name Drětwja is a direct translation of the German name. It developed from Drětwa and Drětwej , with the " ě " sometimes only being reproduced as "e" or "je".
In the course of the German policy of Germanization, the place name was changed to Spreetal in 1936 . But in December 1936 Spreewitz death register was still using the old place name. Like most renamed locations, Zerre officially got its old name back in 1947. Locally, the return to the old name happened earlier, so the name Zerre was used again in the death register in May 1945.
