Neißemünde (German pronunciation:[naɪsəˈmʏndə],lit. 'Mouth of the Neisse') is amunicipality in theOder-Spree district, inBrandenburg,Germany. It belongs to theAmt ("collective municipality")Neuzelle, which has its administrative seat in the neighbouringNeuzelle municipality.
The municipal area is located in the historicLower Lusatia region, close to the border withŻytowań inPoland. Near the village of Ratzdorf, theLusatian Neisse discharges into theOder River. Both rivers mark the German eastern border along theOder–Neisse line.
Since 31 December 2001, the Neißemünde municipality consists of the following four villages:
The municipality of Neißemünde was formed on 31 December 2001 by merging the municipalities of Breslack, Coschen, Ratzdorf and Wellmitz.
Archaeological excavations ofGlobular Amphora culture artifacts denote a settlement of the area since theNeolithic. The region along the Oder and Neisse rivers was settled byPolabian Slavs (Sorbs) from about 600 onwards and in 965 became part of the ImperialMarch of Lusatia. The village of Wellmitz was first mentioned in a 1300 deed issued by MargraveTheoderic IV. The estates then belonged to theCistercian abbey ofNeuzelle, confirmed by EmperorCharles IV in 1370.
In 1846 Wellmitz and Coschen were connected to theLower Silesian-Mark Railway line fromBerlin toBreslau. The village of Ratzdorf was heavily affected by the1997 Central European flood; reconstruction was funded, inter alia, through a substantial donation by US singerMichael Jackson.
From 1815 to 1947, the constituent localities of Neißemünde were part of thePrussianProvince of Brandenburg.
AfterWorld War II, Breslack, Coschen, Ratzdorf and Wellmitz were incorporated into the State ofBrandenburg from 1947 to 1952 and theBezirk Frankfurt ofEast Germany from 1952 to 1990. Since 1990 they are again part of Brandenburg, since 2001 united as the municipality of Neißemünde.
