history

Alexanderhof was first mentioned in 1843 as the property of the banker Alexander Itzig, from whom it owes its name. In the official gazette of the government in Potsdam it was stated for July 5, 1843: "The name Alexanderhof is attached to the newly built Vorwerk of the Banquier Itzig near Prenzlau" Alexanderhof originated initially as a Vorwerk on land that had been separated from Gut Grauekloster . In 1848, a large fire destroyed several stables due to inadequate fire precautions . In 1854 Woldemar von Heyden acquired the estate. In 1857 the place got its own police administration, which however no longer exists today.

In 1863, Alexanderhof had 124 inhabitants and consisted of seven residential buildings and seven farm buildings.

In 1866 it was a subsidiary property of the Wittenhof manor, and the manor owner Wichard von Heyden lived on the Alexanderhof manor from around 1875. In 1901 three clay pots were found while plowing , filled with silver coins and jewelry . The landowner Ulrich von Heyden was expropriated as part of the land reform in 1945 and taken to Prenzlau prison. Land was relocated to former farm workers and refugees. The National Socialists had already threatened the noble man of Jewish descent with expropriation and had his son Wichard arrested for his activities to save the village population from the approaching front. After 1945, the former estate became a school, a consumer outlet and a farmhouse. In 1963, 11 new farmers were induced to found the agricultural production cooperative. From 1959, some of the schooling took place in Prenzlau. From 1955 to 1960 the stables in the village were expanded and developed. In September 2018, the previously representative manor house was demolished after several rescue attempts had failed.
