Der Ort Fürstlich Drehna

Fürstlich Drehna wurde erstmals urkundlich am 3. August 1301 erwähnt. Während seiner jarhundertelangen Geschichte gab es folgende Ortsnamen:

1489 Drenow
1570 Drehno
1696 Drähne
Wendisch Drenow d.h. Hartriegel, zur Kornelkirsche gehörig.

The location was designed as follows:

Market stains with stately castle
the market square is located on two intersecting streets
than Straßendorf
originally as an abatement – still preserved today

The place was knightly seat of the lineage of Drauschwitz, Maltitz and Minckwitz (1521 – 1697). Since 1663 a seat of the town – so Drehna was one of the younger ones in the Niederlausitz. Gradually, the village developed into a market spot, but remained an administrative municipality.

Prince Drehna received a special boost from the last three families, Count zu Promnitz (1697 – 1793), Count zu Lynar (1793 – 1877), who was elevated to the princely state in 1807, hence also the place name Fürstlich Drehna (around 1860) and a rich one Shipowner and merchant from Bremen, Christian Heinrich Wätjen.

In the village you will find the historical guesthouse „Zum Hirsch“ with a historical theater in the shape of a ship’s hull and the Schlossbrauerei Fürstlich Drehna, which has existed since 1745.

Prince Drehna was renamed Drehna on 1 July 1950. The name was renamed to ‚Fürstlich Drehna‘ on 1 January 1991.
