Saathain, with a population of 516, is a Village (Ortsteil) of the municipality of Röderland in the Elbe-Elster district of southern Brandenburg. It is located next to the mouth of the Große Röder into the Black Elster, on the southern border of the Lower Lusatian Heath Nature Park.[1]
The first documented mention of the village dates back to 1140 in a contract between Udo I. of Thuringia and Conrad, Margrave of Meissen. Due to the settlement of several puppeteer families in the 19th century, Saathain is considered the cradle of the Saxon traveling marionette theater. On October 26, 2003, Saathain and the surrounding villages of Haida, Reichenhain, Stolzenhain, Wainsdorf, Würdenhain and the municipality's future seat of government, Prösen, formed the municipality of Röderland.[2] The former Saathain Castle is one of the cultural centers of the municipality and the district of Elbe-Elster, hosting numerous concerts and exhibitions. Today, the grounds include a rose garden with around 5,000 rose bushes, a 17th century church (see: Gutskirche Saathain) and a summer café built on the foundations of Saathain Castle, which was destroyed in 1945.
