background

  • Blade: Under the name "Clynge" the place has probably existed since 1389, secured from 1486. ​​It was located directly on the border between Saxony and Prussia. A complete mammoth was discovered in one of the town's clay pits in 1903. After a crown neck ring was found in 1915, excavations were repeatedly carried out in the region in the 20th century, which unearthed barrows as well as tools and jewelry from the corded ceramics and funnel cup culture.
  • Gosda: The place was first mentioned in a document in 1536, but here too, as with the neighboring village of Klinge, it is assumed that the history dates back to 1389. The lordship ended in the 19th century. Parts of the place were demolished in 1980 for the Jänschwalde opencast mine and the remains of the place Klinge were then assigned to the municipality of Gosda. Since it's not too far away near by Döbern There is also a small town with this name, one occasionally comes across the name at this place in the meadow Gosda I.

  • 2  Robber barons gate. The landmark of the municipality of Klinge is around 500 years old and fixed the main entrance to the former estate. According to a legend, there was a medieval swamp castle in Klinge, in which three robber barons lived. Accordingly, they attacked travelers and kept them prisoner in the castle dungeon until the requested ransom was received. If the requirements were not met, the prisoners' jaws were cut off. When the castle, which was considered to be invincible, was destroyed in the 16th century and the robber barons captured, their jaws were cut out as punishment for their crimes. As a deterrent and as a reminder, three knight sculptures were later made from sandstone and placed on the main gate to the castle. (Source: Heimatverein Klinge.).
