Hosena (Sorbian:''Hóznja'') is a section of the town of Senftenberg in Brandenburg, Germany. Hosena is located in Lower Lusatia not far from the Senftenberger See. Hosena station is at the junction of the Węgliniec–Roßlau railway and the Lübbenau–Kamenz railway. == History == Hosena is first mentioned in 1420, as Old Slavonic ''gozd'' or ''hozd'' for "dry woodland" or Sorbian "woodland place." The name developed into ''Hoznja'', ''Hozne'' or ''Hosna'' and finally to ''Hosen'', attested in 1687. In the early historical period, Hosena was part of the Sorbian district of Milska and as a Folwark to the domain of Hoyerswerda, with a herd of sheep and three leasehold mills. Hosena is first mentioned in 1420. In 1575, 68 people lived on the estate. In 1691, the settlement was completely destroyed by fire. Since the end of the 19th century, Hosena has become famous for industrial processing of crystalline quartz sand and for glass making. The first extraction of the sand was in 1874. Prior to that, the settlement had been among the poorest heathland villages, since the barren, largely infertile sandy soil yielded only meager harvests. As they were taken out of production, the sand quarries were converted into small lakes for swimming. As a result, in 1899 the Hosena Aquatics Club was founded. The village church was consecrated in 1913. In 1970, the settlement of Peickwitzer Flur was incorporated into Hosena. It had been founded as a result of industrialization; railroad workers and employees of the nearby glass works and sand quarries lived there. In July 2009, a 2.6 m tall marker column was erected there.〔Andrea Budich, ("Wo alte Salzstraße entlangführte" (Where old salt road ran) ), ''Lausitzer Rundschau'', July 11, 2009, retrieved June 23, 2010.〕 Today at the boundary of Hosena stands the tilted observation tower on the shore of the Senftenberger See. On December 31, 2001, Hosena was annexed by Senftenberg. The mayor is Hagen Schuster. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hosena」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
