history

13th to 16th centuries

Ahrensdorf was probably founded as a German foundation at the beginning of the 13th century. It was first mentioned in a document as Arnestorp in 1242 . At that time it already owned a mill and was owned by Heinrich von Steglitz, who handed it over to the Lehnin monastery that year . From there it came under the aristocratic rule of Beuthen Castle until 1680 . The land register of Emperor Karl IV. From 1375 stated Heinrich von Gröben as the landlord of the village of Arnstorf . He held the village as a margrave's fief and received all the burdens of the full peasants , the cottagers and the jug . At that time it was 44 hooves (seven of which were desolate ) and was tended by 12 köttern . There were a total of 20 houses in the village. After the Quitzow confusion (around 1416) it came to the von Schlabrendorf family together with Beuthen Castle , who owned Ahrensdorf until the time of the Great Elector . In 1450 48 Hufen were farmed; for the first time three parish hooves appeared. It is therefore likely that a village church already existed at that time . The Brandenburg State Office for Monument Preservation and State Archaeological Museum (BLDAM) therefore also states in its monument database for the church that a building could have been built "around 1400". Ahrensdorf was churched in Mittenwalde. Three other hooves were split. Eight monkeys lived in the village; there was also a mill and a jug . From 1451 is the spelling Arntstorff , the notation from the year 1536 Arnßdorff handed. In 1480 there were 48 hooves, three parish hooves, three more desert hooves and three split hooves. There were 11 cats and a jug.

Thesis of the establishment of an independent aristocratic rule

Dr. Helmut Assing describes a different process for founding Ahrensdorf. According to this, Ahrensdorf is a founding of the family "de Grubene" / "de Grobene" / "von Groeben" / "von Gröben" only the foundation did not take place in the context of the Ascanian conquest. Assing assumes that Ahrensdorf came under Ascanian sovereignty at the earliest in 1232 and that before that, together with the villages of Siethen , Jütchendorf , Fahlhorst and Gröben, possibly also Klein Beuthen formed a short-lived, independent aristocratic rule, with Gröben being the administrative center of this rule. Assing assumes that the foundations of the villages of Siethen, Fahlhorst, Gröben and Ahrensdorf are almost simultaneous. These foundations are determined by H. Assing to be from / after 1190 at the earliest. The important question here is whether the "von Gröben" were ministerials or noble free . Based on the positions in the witness list of documents in the area of ​​the Archbishopric of Magdeburg, Assing proves that it was a question of noble free people who, under the threat of loss of power and influence at the headquarters in the area of ​​influence of the Archbishopric Magdeburg (i.e. not the Brandenburg Margrave) , left the headquarters near Calbe and established their own aristocracy on the edge of the Teltow . A few years later they were subject to the influence and pressure of the neighboring Ascanians and became part of the Ascanian march from 1232 at the earliest. In 1232 an Arnoldus de Grebene (Arnold von Gröben) appears as a witness to a certificate from Otto III. and Johanns I in the ministerial group. In the same document, Heinrich von Stegelitz appears as a ministerial witness. This document and the position at the ministerials is a clear indication of a relationship of dependency on the Ascanians. Heinrich von Stegelitz transfers Ahrensdorf into the possession of the Lehnin monastery in 1242 . The document for this process is the first written mention of Ahrensdorf. The fact that there is no known document or register for the period between 1190 and 1232 in which a "von Groeben" plays a role or appears as a witness supports the theory of an independent rule. The documentary mention from 1190 concerns Heinrich von Gröben's request to the Divine Grace Monastery near Calbe to keep a tomb free for himself and his parents in the monastery. A request that actually speaks against wanting to leave his headquarters soon, but possibly also part of the plan. According to this thesis, Ahrensdorf seems very likely not to be a foundation "in the course of the settlement policy pursued by Albrecht the Bear and his son Otto I", but an independent foundation by noble freelancers from the ranks of the Archdiocese of Magdeburg, who later came under Ascanic dependence.

17th and 18th centuries

In 1603 the parish received the right to cut wood in the Schlabberndorfschen Heide free of charge. In the Thirty Years War (1618–1648) Ahrensdorf was also badly affected. In 1624 there were eleven Hufner, nine Kötter and a sexton, a shepherd and two couple of householders. Schulze Abraham Thele and his son were the only one of eleven full farmers to survive the war , and only six kossas had survived . In 1680 the village came to the Saarmund office , from where the village was administered. In 1682 there were 46 Hufen, a windmill and an old vineyard. Little by little the place recovered, so that in 1711 there were 11 hoofers, eight kötter, a blacksmith, a shepherd and a couple of householders. The place continued to grow and so there was a windmill, a jug and a forester's house in 1745, whose forester also ran a Kötterhof. There were also 11 farmers and nine kötter. In 1756, 11 farmers and a Schulze continued to live in the village. There was a Kruger, eight Kötter, five Büdner, a widow's house, eight couples and two single residents . In 1771 the statistics counted 20 gables (= houses), a smith, a shepherd, two pairs of householders and a private windmill.

19th century

In the time of the Napoleonic Wars , when domains had to be sold again by the state, the Saarmund domain office as such was also dissolved, so that the residents were no longer dependent on the bailiff, because their services and taxes were redeemed at the same time. In 1826 the Potsdam Office took over the administration of the village. In 1858 there were 17 farm owners with 26 servants and maids as well as a day laborer in the village. There were 13 part-time farmers with two maids as well as 32 workers and one servant. The total of 30 properties were divided as follows: 21 properties had a size of 30 to 300 acres and comprised a total of 2579 acres. Three properties were between 5 and 30 acres in size (89 acres total), plus six properties under 5 acres for a total of 13 acres. In the meantime, the craft flourished in the village, as a list shows: There was a master butcher with journeymen, two master tailors with a journeyman, an apprentice carpenter, a master cartwright, a journeyman bricklayer, an apprentice bricklayer, a master brick and slate master, two master blacksmiths with an apprentice, one Victuaries, a grocer, a jug and five arms. In 1849 jurisdiction changed from the Potsdam Justice Office to the Potsdam District Court. In 1860, the area was a total of 2713 acres . Homesteads accounted for 32 acres and garden land for 20 acres. The largest part, 1843 acres, was used as arable land for agriculture. In addition, there were 304 acres of forest, 283 acres of pasture and 231 acres of meadows. There were 66 farm buildings, 42 residential buildings and five public buildings, including a flour mill. In 1879 jurisdiction changed to the district court in Potsdam (until 1952).

20th century

Fallen memorial

In 1912 a volunteer fire brigade was founded in the village. In 1931 there were 82 houses and a forester's house. In 1939 there were seven agricultural and forestry holdings that were 20 to 100 hectares in size, five holdings of 10 to 20 hectares in size, eleven holdings of between 5 and 10 hectares in size, and 30 small businesses of 0.5 up to 5 hectares. During the GDR era , a Type I agricultural production cooperative was founded in 1960 , which one year later had 101 members and managed 625 hectares of agricultural land.

In 1992, Ahrensdorf merged with eight other municipalities in the area to form the administrative community Amt Ludwigsfelde-Land with the official seat in Ludwigsfelde. The formation of the office was approved on May 30, 1992. In 1997 the official seat was moved to Großbeeren.

21st century

In 2001 the council decided to dissolve the previously independent municipality and join the city of Ludwigsfelde. The decision became necessary due to the structural change in the state of Brandenburg. The community of Ahrensdorf was one of the last places around the city of Ludwigsfelde to be incorporated. Since the municipality of Ahrensdorf had sufficient equity capital from 1993 to 2001 and was thus financially independent of key allocations from the state of Brandenburg, the municipality could not allow itself to merge with the city of Ludwigsfelde until November 30, 2001. At the same time, Großbeeren became vacant and the Ludwigsfelde-Land office was dissolved. In the end, the Ludwigsfelde-Land office only managed the two communities of Großbeeren and Ahrensdorf.

The typical Angerdorf of the German colonists in the Middle Ages has asserted itself as the core of the local situation to this day. Later extensions, especially in the last century, when the number of inhabitants doubled, could not blur the character of the old village.
