May flower enclosure

Maiblumengehege is a former farmstead in the Elbe-Elster district of southern Brandenburg and officially designated residential area that belongs to the municipality of Röderland. It is located about one kilometer south of the district of Reichenhain, in close proximity to the Brandenburg-Saxony border, in the lowland of the Große Röder, which flows about one kilometer to the east. The former connection path from Reichenhain to Nauwalde runs through Maiblumengehege.

The farmstead originally belonged to the estate of Saathain. It got its name from a fenced or enclosable wooded area located here. As early as 1835, it was listed in a "Overview of the Population and Livestock" published in the local history series Schwarze Elster with the simple designation Gehege as part of the Saathain estate. However, in the landtag records published in 1836 of the Saxon Landtag, it was already referred to as the farmstead Maiblumengehege belonging to Saathain in a petition concerning the Elsterwerda-Grödel floating canal. On the original measurement map from 1846, it is called Vorwerk Blumengehege. In another topographical map from the mid-19th century, it is listed as Vorwerk Gehege. While it was referred to again as Maiblumengehege in the official gazette of the Merseburg government in 1870, the farmstead only appeared again as Gehege in a list of the newly created administrative districts at that time. It belonged to the district of Saathain, whose chairman was then Koch, the owner of the Saathain estate.
