history

The Madlitz estate was first mentioned as Modelicz in 1373 , when Margrave Otto transferred Lake Madlitz ( Modelitz ) to the Diocese of Lebus . In 1551 the Madlitz estate was bought by the brothers Kaspar, Bastian and Jobst Wulffen. It was owned by the von Wulffen family for 200 years . In 1664 - a few years after the Thirty Years' War - the brothers Adolf, Georg and Rudolf von Wulffen were enfeoffed with the village. The Counts Finck von Finckenstein bought the estate in 1752 and thus left East Prussia ( Gilgenburg ) for the first time .

At the time of Frederick II , the village of Alt-Madlitz was named to differentiate it from the Frederick Colony of Neu-Madlitz . In the 18th century the village had only about 100 inhabitants, including a fisherman, a miller, a wheel maker and a blacksmith. At the beginning of the 20th century Alt Madlitz had 305 inhabitants and covered an area of ​​2,140 ha (rural community: 275 ha; manor district: 1,865 ha).

Attractions

church

Village church Alt Madlitz

The church is a rectangular medieval building with a flat interior ceiling, the surrounding walls are made of plastered boulders. The high windows were changed in the baroque period. The tower, which was added later, is presented in full width in the west. There is a neo-Gothic brick porch in front of the south entrance.

The church was completely rebuilt in the first quarter of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, and the interior was also redesigned according to a design by Franz Schwechten . The honeycomb-shaped floor tiles, the wooden beam ceiling painted in coffered fields and the community chairs come from this redesign . The interior is dominated by the large altar painting by Gregor Boldio (1631) depicting the Descent from the Cross in a reversed redesign of Rubens' painting; restored by the Berlin portrait painter Eduard Wilhelm Kriesmann in 1859; Another restoration has been carried out since 2011 by graduate restorer Grit Jehmlich, Potsdam.

Painting by Gregor Boldio (after Rubens), 300 cm × 400 cm

On the walls there are two relief tombstones of the von Wulffen von family (both from 1612) and a tombstone for Curt von Wulffen (1620) and a wooden epitaph for Rudolf von Wulffen (1671–1721), as well as a large cartouche of the von Finckenstein family. In the tower hall, a cast iron plate from 1598 is embedded in the wall; it shows the parable of the unjust servant.

Alt Madlitz Castle

The initially simple manor house was expanded into a three-storey country palace in the 18th century. In 1945 the property was expropriated as part of the land reform and the castle building was used as a kindergarten . In 1991 the Alt Madlitz Castle was bought by Karl Wilhelm von Finckenstein , who had the castle and park reconstructed.

Finckenstein Memorial in Alt Madlitz

After several years of tidying up and design work on the initiative of Karl-Wilhelm Graf von Finckenstein, a memorial was created in Alt Madlitz on an area adjoining the community cemetery, which previously served as the burial place of the von Finckenstein family for over 250 years. June 2009 was inaugurated. Finckenstein's graves were devastated in the last years of the GDR era. By Günter de Bruyn some of memorial stones were recovered. The central sarcophagus is on permanent loan from the parish of the Vehlow village church .

In memory of 120 Ukrainian forced laborers from Jadlivka near Kiev , a memorial was erected in the cemetery. The Martin Niemöller Foundation invited some survivors back in 2008 who reported on the complete destruction of the village , which was renamed Peremoha after the war , on August 15, 1943. They remembered the cruel execution of many villagers by the Wehrmacht, the deportation and the bad years from 1943 to 1945 as a slave laborer on the estate, the hunger and lashes. The memorial was created by the Fürstenwald artist Friedrich Stachat , a "fallen and broken cross", it was inaugurated on October 9, 2010.
