Manor Wiednitz
According to records of the parish priest Huth from Great tomb made at the time of Gutsfamilie of Sporr ( 1711-1725 ), Augustus the Strong Countess Cosel during his frequent trips to Poland in the mansion Wiednitz often rest. Approx. 50 km is Wiednitz from Dresden. These good relations were to continue to see positive at various points. 1725-1768 was the Saxon war council Johann Heinrich Simone landowner in Wiednitz. So he took as an agent of August the Strong with Baron von Löwental at the conclusion of the armistice between Saxon, Russian and Polish troops in part. 1730 - 1735 Laird Simones built a new castle, put on a spacious park and expanded the fish ponds.

His parents were Mr. and Mrs. Peter Friedrich d' Orville (1662-1739) and Susanna Judith Buirette of Oehlefeld (also d' Ahlfelden ) ( 1670-1730 ), who had several children.

Heath or Heye III
The colony of FC Th Heye lignite plants that already since the end of the 19th century held several lignite mines and a glass plant in Anna hut in western Senftenberg lignite mining area, began at 1908/1909 with the digestion of a brown coal mine at Wiednitz. The power required to operate Werksiedlung let the company design by the Dresden architect Georg Heinsius Mayen castle. This was dealt at the same time with the planning and implementation of large-scale settlement Marga in Brieske near Senftenberg. The colony of the pit Heye III therefore has a similar appearance to the settlement Marga, the construction project is, however, much smaller and less complex.
