Ahrensdorf on the Urmes table sheet 2847 Templin from 1825

Ahrensdorf is a district of the unofficial city of Templin in the Uckermark district ( Brandenburg ). The place, founded in the High Middle Ages, fell desolate around the middle of the 14th century . 1771 was on the district a colony applied, the present village Ahrens village developed from.

Geographical location

Ahrensdorf is about five kilometers east of the (core) city of Templin on the so-called Templiner Platte , a flat sand and ground moraine landscape . It borders in the east on the municipality of Milmersdorf, in the south, west and north on the district of the (core) city of Templin. In the south, the Lübbesee, which belongs to the Templin district, forms the border, in the north the Fährsee, which is also completely on the Templin district, and its southern branch, the Zaarsee . Two larger streets lead through Ahrensdorf: the L 23 branching off the B 109 and leading to Milmersdorf and the Petersdorfer Straße. The Britz – Templin line runs through the southern part of the district. The Templin-Ahrensdorf stop is at the intersection with the main road. The highest point is in the northeast part of the district at 61.6 m. The mean lake level of the Fährsee is 51.2 m, the mean lake level of the Lübbees is 52.9 m.

In the east and south-east the Lübbeseegraben (or Ahrensdorfer Canal, around 1900 also Old Canal), which connects Zaarsee and Lübbesee, forms the boundary to Milmersdorf from the Ahrensnester Bridge to the Lübbesee. The Ahrensdorfer Graben runs to the Lübbesee in the middle of the district.

The three houses , Morgenland and Zum Seehof residential areas are located in the district of Ahrensdorf .

history

The place was only mentioned indirectly in 1306, however, as a dominus (= priest or nobleman? ) In a document issued by Margrave Waldemar, concerning an altar foundation in the Nicolai Church in Prenzlau . Ludolf de Arndestorp is mentioned. The name is derived from a nickname Arnt, to a personal name Arnolt / Arnwalt. The syllable Arn ends with mnd. arn = eagle back. Gerhard Günther would like to derive the name from the Silesian noble family von Ahrensdorf (or Arnsdop, Arndesdorp, Arnsdorf), which has been proven in the Uckermark since 1306. Even if the mention of 1306 refers to a von Arnsdorf, a connection with the Silesian family of the same name is unlikely. Ledebur and Kneschke, on the other hand, assume a Uckermark aristocratic family of this name who had their ancestral seat in this village and named themselves after the place. The village would have been named after a locator named Arnt. It is therefore likely to have been founded in the first half of the 13th century.

The medieval village or the desert Feldmark

In 1320 the dukes Otto I and Wartislaw IV of Pomerania confirmed their rights to the city of Templin, including the village of Arenstorp with all justice and fruit, the wood, the lacquer and the quarries and everything that goes with it. In 1375 the place is mentioned without further information. Subsequently, the city of Templin used the field mark. Around 1500, the provost of Templin obtained eight bushels of grain from the Feldmark. During and after the Thirty Years' War , the Feldmark was completely forested. In 1714 the Feldmark was cleared "only a few years ago". The citizens of the town of Templin had meadows and guardians on the field. In 1722 the magistrate planned to set up a farm in the district, as he hoped to generate more income from it. But the citizenship appealed against it; the plan was dropped. In 1747 the field mark was measured. There were 1530 acres of farmland in the three fields and 269 acres of breaks were found, for a total of 1799 acres (the acre of 180 square rutencv ).

The new village

In 1766 a plan was made to settle 43 foreign Büdner families on the Feldmark. Each family should have 10 acres of farmland and 4 acres of meadow. This plan was not initially implemented either. In 1770, 20 Mecklenburg families asked the City Council of Templin to settle on the Ahrensdorf field. This was apparently approved, because from 1771 the new colony Ahrensdorf was created. In 1774 not 20 families lived in Ahrensdorf , but "only" 15 colonists . Ten houses had already been completed, four houses were still under construction. The homestead for the Schulzen was apparently built a little later. According to Borgstede, the colony was "fully established in 1776". The farmsteads were laid out along today's Petersdorfer Straße. It is unclear whether the three farmsteads in the eastern part of the district near the Lübbe lake (today's living space Dreihäuser) were among the original 15 farmsteads, or whether they were created later. The Urmes table sheet 2847 Templin from 1825 lists 12 farmsteads along Petersdorfer Hauptstrasse. Together with the three farmsteads of the Drei Häuser residential area, this would result in the original 15 farmsteads. A sixteenth homestead is, however, drawn near the Ahrensnester bridge.

In 1790 12 farm people (or farmers), five house people (or residents ) and a blacksmith lived in Ahrensdorf, and there were a total of 15 campfire sites in the village. In 1783 the new colony got its first teacher, master shoemaker Bothe from Zehdenick. In 1790 a blacksmith had also settled in the village. In 1801, in addition to the 15 colonist families, 6 residents lived in the village; there were a total of 17 fireplaces. On the night of June 9-10, 1803, the house, barn and stable of the teacher Menz burned down. In 1828 the road from the urban forest to the Ahrensnester Bridge, i.e. today's L 23, was planted with avenue trees. Presumably, a larger estate was created around 1825, because it appears in the knightly estate register of the Templin district as a knightless combing property. In 1840 the estate was explicitly referred to as a manor . In 1860 Ahrensdorf became a colonist village with three dismantles (= three houses ). described. In the village there was a public building, 15 residential buildings and 23 farm buildings. In 1861 three carpenters are mentioned. Until around 1895, rafting played a major role. The wood was rafted through the Old Canal. On the banks of the Zaarsee near the road (today L 23) there was a wooden shelf. In 1887/1888 the road from Templin via Ahrensdorf to Milmersdorf was expanded. In 1893 the poor house was built on Milmersdorfer Chaussee, in which the poor from the village were housed until 1936. In 1897/98 the Britz – Fürstenberg railway line was built through the town and it was given a stop on Petersdorfer Straße. On December 15, 1898, the first train rolled through Ahrensdorf.

Ahrensdorf from the 20th century

By 1900 there were already 21 houses, in 1931 22 houses in Ahrensdorf. In 1911 a school and prayer house was built near the intersection of Petersdorfer Strasse and Milmersdorfer Chaussee. The cemetery was laid out southeast of it, south of Milmersdorfer Chaussee. In 1921 a memorial plaque was donated for the six fallen of the First World War .

In 1925, Robert Preußner, a Berliner who had moved to Ahrensdorf, built seven huts that outwardly resembled an African village. There was also a lido and an African pavilion (dance palace). This leisure facility, known as "New Africa", was well received by tourists. In 1928 Ahrensdorf was connected to the power grid.

Between 1936 and 1938, the Engelsburg radio station was built and put into operation for air surveillance. During the Second World War , the place was spared direct combat operations. On June 20, 1944, an aerial battle broke out over the village in which two Allied fighters shot down a German Me-109G-6 fighter . On April 28, 1945, Ahrensdorf was occupied by the Red Army, which set up a local command at Gut Seehof. In 1946, a reception center for refugees and released members of the Wehrmacht was set up in the former radio station in Engelsburg . In the 1948 land reform , 136 hectares were expropriated and divided. 52 hectares went to six landless farmers and farm workers, 25 hectares to six poor farmers and 60 hectares became communal property. In 1955, the first type III LPG was founded. In 1958 it already had 29 members who farmed 321 hectares of agricultural land. It was merged with the LPGs in Petersdorf and Milmersdorf as early as 1959 to form LPG Type III Milmersdorf.

Between 1955 and 1961, dirt track races for motorcycles took place in Ahrensdorf on a specially prepared track. Several championships with international participation were held here. In 1965/1966 the former “New Africa” leisure center was acquired by Leuna-Werke and converted into a children's holiday facility. In 1970 a motorcycle sand railway line between Templin and Ahrensdorf was restored and opened. In 1975, the SED district leadership in Leipzig had the former Gut Seehof converted into a holiday center.

In the 1980s, many new single-family homes and holiday homes were built. Ahrensdorf became a popular holiday resort. In 1984 there were 762 holiday apartments registered in Ahrensdorf. After the fall of the Wall, the Ahrensdorfer initiated a referendum, in the outcome of which Ahrensdorf was spun off from Milmersdorf and reintegrated into the city of Templin. In 2009 the construction of a cycle path from Templin to Ahrensdorf takes place. In 2010 a memorial stone with the inscription "Ahrensdorf 1306" was erected for the first mention.

Political history

Ahrensdorf was a combing village of the city of Templin at least since the beginning of the 14th century. Even after the village fell into desolation, the field mark remained in the possession of the city of Templin and was used by the citizens. Even when the Ahrensdorf colony was established in 1771 , the town of Templin remained in the possession of the upper and lower jurisdictions. In 1849 this was transferred to the Templin district or the Templin district court. Ahrensdorf became an independent rural community. On January 1, 1957, Ahrensdorf was initially incorporated into Templin, but on October 1, 1961, it was reclassified to the community of Milmersdorf . On July 1, 1993, Ahrensdorf came back to the city of Templin and has been its district ever since. Since the middle of 2004, the district also has a local advisory council consisting of three members who elect the mayor and his deputy from among their number.

Before 1816, Templin and thus Ahrensdorf belonged to the Uckermärkischer Kreis , which was divided into three districts in the district reform. Templin became the district town of the Templin district . In the district reform of 1952 this was re-cut ( Templin district ). In 1993 the Templin district was merged with the Prenzlau and Angermünde districts to form the Uckermark district.

Tourism and leisure

The community is shaped by tourism. A number of holiday apartments are available in the village. There is a restaurant and a supermarket in town. There is a natural bathing beach each at Lübbesee and Zaarsee. Fishing licenses can be purchased.

Ahrensdorf can now be reached again by train.

The place is also connected to Templin and Milmersdorf by a cycle path. In addition, the cycle path leads around the Lübbesee via Ahrensdorf. Children will find numerous leisure opportunities in the playground and football field, adults with fields for basketball and volleyball.

Monuments

The list of monuments of the state of Brandenburg for the district of Uckermark shows five soil monuments for Ahrensdorf:

  • No. 140669, corridor 1: a settlement of prehistory and early history
  • No. 140670, hallway 1: a settlement from the German Middle Ages
  • No. 140671, corridor 1: a Neolithic settlement
  • No. 140672, corridor 1: a resting and working place of the Mesolithic
  • No. 140673, corridor 1: a resting and working place of the Mesolithic

The former building, which is often referred to as the former school and church, has been largely privately owned for several years. It is by far the most interesting building in the village, although it is quite remote from the town center. Unfortunately, the citizens of the place are not particularly interested in the history of the past 100 years, which is not uninteresting. More and more contemporary witnesses are dying and knowledge is being lost. For a while, the church was cared for by the father of the current Chancellor, Mrs. Merkel. Unfortunately there are efforts to convert the historic building (church) into a party room for the citizens of the district. The current pastor is a member of the association. The church is owned by the city of Templin. There are no more churchgoers in Ahrensdorf. The believers go to the surrounding churches, which are still used as such. The large classroom is privately owned.

  1. ↑ The historical local dictionary reports of 15 colonists, Gerhard Günther writes that there were only 14. However, since 15 fireplaces were mentioned later (1790), and in 1801 there were again 15 colonist places, the information in the historical local dictionary is more likely to be correct.
