The rule Badingen , from 1551 mostly called rule Badingen and Himmelpfort , was an aristocratic rule, whose area is today with a small exception in the northern part of Brandenburg . In 1727 the rule fell to the Brandenburg Elector and was converted into an Electoral Brandenburg Office ( Badingen ). The aristocratic rule or the later office of Badingen essentially consisted of two unrelated areas, the former possessions of the Bishop of Brandenburg around Badingen and the possessions of the former Himmelpfort monastery . The associated places today belong to the cities of Fürstenberg / Havel and Zehdenick in the Oberhavel district , and to the cities of Lychen and Templin in the Uckermark district . Free float is also in other municipalities. In 1815 the Badingen office was merged with the Zehdenick office and dissolved.

In the Middle Ages, the Badingen dominion (excluding the Himmelpfort monastery area) belonged to the Löwenberg region (also known as the Löwenberg region), which was owned by the Margrave of Brandenburg until 1270. In a preliminary contract from 1267, finally 1270, it was exchanged with the Bishop of Brandenburg for the city and state of Königsberg in Neumark . 1459 Badingen is as oppidulum designated (small town) and was next Lowenberg the second main place of Ländchen Lowenberg. Since 1460 the small rule was given to the family v. Badingen awarded, in 1475 it came to the v. Bredow. In 1536, the lordship of Badingen was acquired by Elector Joachim II of Brandenburg with the consent of the overlord, Bishop Matthias von Brandenburg von der Bredows. As early as 1537, the elector gave the rulership of Badingen to Adam von Trott , who founded the family branch of those from Trott zu Solz in the Mark Brandenburg. In 1541 the Himmelpfort monastery was secularized and dissolved. Between 1541 and 1551 the v. Arnim auf Boitzenburg holds the Himmelpfort monastery property either administratively or by pledge.

In 1551 Adam von Trott also received the lands and rights of the former Himmelpfort monastery, initially in his function as bailiff of the elector, then inherited in 1557. In 1598 the diocese of Brandenburg was secularized and the Badingen rule was also formally a sovereign fiefdom. On August 4, 1727 Friedrich Wedige von Trott died, and with him the Brandenburg branch of the von Trott zu Solz family died out. The lordship of Badingen and Himmelpfort was withdrawn from the elector as a settled fiefdom. The rule was converted into a royal domain office. During the time of the office, numerous older, desolate settlement areas were repopulated and new "colonies" were established. In 1815 the Badingen office was dissolved and its rights and income were transferred to the Zehdenick office.

Components of domination

The rule Badingen and Himmelpfort or the later Badingen office consisted of two unconnected areas that had emerged from the small aristocratic rule Badingen, formerly owned by the Bishop of Brandenburg, and the secularized property of the Himmelpfort monastery. A smaller area originally belonged to the Zehdenick monastery and was formally added to the secularized property of the former Himmelpfort monastery. One village was owned by the v. Trott was bought from another noble family.

The property around Badingen

The property around Badingen, exchanged in 1270 for the town of Königsberg in the Neumark, today Chojna, consisted of four villages, of which the village of Osterne fell into desolation in the course of the late Middle Ages and was only repopulated as a Vorwerk around 1600. The village Ribbeck (between Zabelsdorf and Mildenberg), which was owned by the aristocracy, reached into this area in a wedge shape. In 1572 the v. Trott to be acquired.

This small area was and is traditionally counted as part of the extended Löwenberg region.

The property of the former Himmelpfort monastery

Ruins of the central nave of the Himmelpfort monastery church

The Himmelpfort Monastery was founded in 1299 by Margrave Albrecht III. Donated and occupied and built up as the third subsidiary monastery by monks from the Lehnin monastery . Six villages, 100 Hufen in different villages, ten mills and 39 lakes were part of the relatively generous initial equipment of the monastery. In the course of time, a number of other villages came to the monastery.

In addition to the monastery itself and the villages, the ownership of the Himmelpfort monastery consisted of larger forest and heather areas (including the Himmelpfort Heide ), which (also) arose from the desertification of numerous medieval villages. In the course of the 18th century in particular, a whole series of new farms and "colonies" were created in the forest and heather areas on the desert landmarks of the old villages. The Himmelpfort monastery was secularized in 1541, from 1541 to 1551 it was in lien property or under the administration of the v. Arnim on Boitzenburg. In 1551 Adam von Trott received the lands and rights of the former Himmelpfort monastery, initially in his function as bailiff of the elector, then inherited in 1557.

  • Old thyme . The village was part of the initial equipment of the Himmelpfort monastery.
  • Bred area . The village was founded in 1307 by Redekin v. Redern sold for the construction of the Himmelpfort monastery. In 1337 the mill at Bredereiche came into the possession of the monastery. Bredereiche remained more or less continuously settled and is now part of the town of Fürstenberg / Havel.
  • Brüsenwalde . The village was part of the initial equipment of the monastery. Brüsenwalde is now a residential area of ​​the Boitzenburger Land community .
  • Flatow ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). An indefinite number of hooves were already part of the initial equipment of the monastery. In 1438 the whole village was acquired: in 1754 it still belonged to the monastery property
  • Garlin . The medieval village was first mentioned in 1299 and was already part of the initial equipment of the Himmelpfort monastery. Probably the village originally belonged to the "terra Lychen", since the parish church in Lychen raised the tithe in Garlin. In 1358 the (desert?) Feldmark was sold to the Count of Fürstenberg; there is no longer any talk of a village. Since 1440, the Feldmark has been owned by the monastery again. The Feldmark is later also referred to as Sprenkelheide, a forest west of Ravensbrück, which was used by the city of Fürstenberg / Havel, but formally belonged to the monastery property. However, a part of the Feldmark probably came to the Ravensbrück Vorwerk, as a field, the "Gerlinsche Breite", belonged to this dairy.
  • Himmelpfort,
  • Kastaven . The medieval village in "terra Lychen" was part of the margravial initial furnishing of the monastery in 1299 when the Himmelpfort monastery was founded. After the devastation of the village in the 1st half of the 15th century, the village was not rebuilt. The Feldmark was at least partially cultivated by the communities of Rutenberg and Alt- and Neuthymen. A part of the Feldmark has probably also merged into the Feldmark of the village of Dabelow (today part of Wokuhl-Dabelow district of Mecklenburg Lake District , Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). In 1709, in the church book of Rutenberg, a Vorwerk on the desert field mark Kastaven is mentioned. Kastaven is now a residential area in the Himmelpfort district of the city of Fürstenberg / Havel. Another residential area with this name was built on the east bank of the Großer Kastavensee and Kleiner Kastavensee in the northern part of the old Kastaven field. However, this residential space belongs to the city of Lychen and its district of Retzow. In 1727, a tar oven on the Feldmark is occupied by the sale of tar oven leases, which is today's living space in Sähle (see below).
  • Stuff . Two thirds of the Dorfstätte and Feldmark Krams and the Mühlenfließ, which runs from the Großer Beutelsee into the Havel, were acquired by the Himmelpfort Monastery in 1441. In 1443 the monastery was also able to acquire the remaining third of the field mark. The village itself had probably fallen in desolation before 1375. In 1580 part of the Feldmark was taken over by the v. Trott farmed again. At the end of the 18th century a long lease was created. Today there is only one forester's house ( Forsthaus Krams , residential area of ​​the town of Templin).
  • Krumbeck . In 1313 Albert von Heidebracke transferred half of the village to the monastery, and in 1319 the other half followed. Today Krumbeck is part of the Feldberger Seenlandschaft municipality .
  • Lyniczere ( Linow ). The village was part of the founding equipment of the Himmelpfort monastery. It was at the southern end (?) Of the Linowsee and fell in the 14th century. Today the district belongs to Rutenberg.
  • Marienthal . In 1755/6 this colony was created in the official area. Marienthal is now part of the city of Zehdenick.
  • Neuthymes . The village was part of the initial equipment of the Himmelpfort monastery. It fell in the Thirty Years' War and is still known as the desert field mark in 1728. In 1736 there was already another Vorwerk. Neuthymen is now a residential area in the city of Fürstenberg / Havel.
  • Ravensbrück . Erected before 1727 as a Vorwerk on the field mark of the desert village of Garlin. In 1752/53 a street village was created and settled with colonists. Ravensbrück is now part of the city of Fürstenberg / Havel.
  • Regelsdorf . The medieval village came into the possession of the Himmelpfort monastery in 1317. In 1307, the Himmelpfort monastery acquired the mill there, located between Bredereiche and Regelsdorf an der Havel. For the farmers of Bredereiche, Regeldorf and Zootzen as well as for the Mecklenburg villages Blumenow and Qualzow (today part of the town of Fürstenberg / Havel), there was compulsory meal in this mill. In 1381 half of the town was probably repurchased to the v. Dewitz and Niekerken sold. It is not known exactly when the village fell into desolation; In 1544, however, Regeldorf was a desert field mark. This is used by the municipality of Bredereiche and the "Kolonie" Zootzen. In 1767 a request to repopulate the Feldmark was rejected. In 1894 a forester's house is built on the Feldmark. Today Regelsdorf is a residential area of ​​the city of Fürstenberg / Havel.
  • Rudow . In 1307 Redekin v. Talking u. a. the village of Rudow to the abbot and convent of the Lehnin monastery for the construction of the Himmelpfort monastery. It had probably fallen desolately before 1375. The field mark of Rudow was z. T. assigned to the municipality of Bredereiche, the larger part taken to the forest. In 1782 a request to repopulate the Feldmark is rejected. The village was roughly at what is now the Regow lock yard on the Havel (now the place where Lychen lives).
  • Retzow . In 1408 the ownership share (16 hooves?) Of the Lychen citizen Schreiber was sold to the Himmelpfort monastery. The village was destroyed in 1440 and never rebuilt. The Feldmark was plowed by the farmers of Regelsdorf and the Lychenern. During the Thirty Years' War, the Feldmark reforested. In 1701 the city of Lychen signed a contract with Hans Peter and Mathis Fischmann to repopulate the Feldmark. A settlement had formed again by 1728. Today Retzow is a district of the city of Lychen.
  • Rutenberg . The large and small Kronsee near Rutenberg were part of the initial equipment of the Himmelpfort monastery. The village of Rutenberg itself was bought from Heinrich zu Mecklenburg-Stargard in 1309 by the Himmelpfort monastery, along with income from the Himmelreichsmühle. Rutenberg is now part of the city of Lychen.
  • Souls, today Sähle . Between 1727 and 1737 a farm and a tar furnace were built here. Sähle is now a residential area in the town of Lychen and belongs to the Retzow district.
  • Summer field . The village was transferred by the margrave in 1318 as compensation for war damage suffered. Today, Sommerfeld is part of the city of Kremmen .
  • Stumble . The village with the half mill was founded in 1307 by the family v. Speeches given to the Himmelpfort monastery. The other half of the mill was already part of the initial equipment of the monastery. Stolp was on the eastern bank of the Woblitz between Haussee and Stolpsee , roughly opposite the site of today's monastery. The village was converted into a monastery courtyard, which is attested as early as 1342. The field marrow forested for the most part and went up in the Himmelspforter forest.
  • Storkow . In 1317 the Brandenburg Margrave Waldemar donated the lime kiln and four Hufen land in the village of Storkow (today a district of the city of Templin ) to the Himmelpfort monastery .

The property of the Zehdenick monastery

The Cistercian monastery Zehdenick owned a total of 16 villages and other properties in the vicinity of Zehdenick. After the secularization , a small part (not until 1558?) Was added to the property of the former Himmelpfort monastery. The larger part was affiliated to the sovereign office of Zehdenick in 1541 .

  • Annenwalde . In 1753/55 a porcelain factory and a glassworks for green glass were built on the desert field mark of Densow, south of an existing colony of Densow. In 1755 there were already 24 "foreign" glassmakers, woodcutters and other workers living in the houses built for them. There was also a large house and farm building for the entrepreneur Johann Friedrich Zimmermann. Annenwalde was incorporated into Densow in 1974. Densow is now part of the town of Templin, Annenwalde is an inhabited part of Densow.
  • Bag . The medieval village was initially sold by the Glutzer family for re-purchase in 1387 and finally sold to the Zehdenick monastery in 1392. As early as 1375, the greater part of the village was desolate. In the further course of history the village was completely abandoned; the desert field mark was used by the farmers of Röddelin. Probably the desert of Feldmark came together with Röddelin in 1558 as a deposit, then finally in 1577 to the v. Rut. As early as 1711 there was evidence of a tar furnace on the Feldmark of Beutel. In addition, a Vorwerk had been laid out by 1729. In 1739 a new Vorwerk, also called Neuen-Beutel, was set up and the 258 acres that the Röddelin farmers cultivated were drawn in and new fields were cleared. In 1749 nine colonists from the Electoral Palatinate, Zweibrücken and the County of Grumbach were appointed. In 1769 a forestry department was created in the new colony. Today bag is a part of Templin.
  • Densow . Densow was a medieval village that was abandoned as early as 1375. In 1387 the village or the Feldmark was owned by a Glutzer family, who sold it to the Zehdenick monastery in 1392, initially for repurchase. The Feldmark was sold in 1404 by the Zehdenick monastery to the farmers of Röddelin. With this village the Feldmerk Densow came in 1558 first as a deposit, in 1577 finally to the v. Rut. In 1727, like the rest of the v. Trott's property to the Badingen office. In 1711 there was already a tar furnace, around 1730 a farm (sheep farm) was built on the Feldmark. A "colony", a settlement made up of eight Büdners, a schoolmaster and a shepherd, was built near the Vorwerk around 1750. South of this settlement the porcelain factory and green glassworks Annenwalde was built in 1753/55 (see there).
  • Röddelin . The village came to the Zehdenick monastery in 1384. In 1558 Röddelin came first as a deposit, then finally in 1577 to the v. Trott and was counted to the Himmelpforter property. In addition, the knight's seat continued to exist with three free hooves. With the formation of the Badingen office, this courtyard became an administrative office. This Vorwerk was in 1808 to the family v. Stropp sold. Today Röddelin is part of the city of Templin.
