Location and history

Altgaul is about two kilometers northeast of Wriezen.

Altgaul was first mentioned in a document as a horse in 1272. The place may have emerged from a Slavic settlement. In 1340 the city of Wriezen acquired the place. In the Thirty Years War the place was almost completely destroyed, but then rebuilt. In 1678 a Vorwerk Gaul was built. In 1797 the place was destroyed by two fires. The place was rebuilt as Neugaul two kilometers away, the Vorwerk was named Altgaul.

In 1928 Altgaul was incorporated into Rathsdorf. In 1930 130 people lived here, mainly working on the estate. A brick factory also belonged to the estate, and the kiln still exists today. In 1998 Rathsdorf became a district of Wriezen. In 2005, 134 people lived here.

Architectural monuments

The brick kiln of the Vorwerk is still standing on Alte Heerstrasse northeast of the village. It is a single-chamber furnace that was probably built around 1830. The furnace was shut down in the last third of the 19th century. The oven is round and there is a tour around the oven. Today there is a NABU stork museum here .

The brick kiln is a listed building.
