.jpg)
Belzig was first mentioned in a document in 997. After the death of Count Baderich , lord of Belzig (around 1251), the county passed to the Duchy of Saxony. In 1406 the Magdeburg bishops plundered the Belzig area, and the town and castle were also partially destroyed. Then the city was partially expanded and the castle rebuilt. From 1423 to 1815 Belzig belonged to the Belzig-Rabenstein office in the Saxon spa district. Martin Luther preached in St. Mary's Church in 1530 . The Lutherlinde, which was located in Belzig on the cemetery wall of the Gertraudenfriedhof, is said to be named after him. The city was partially destroyed again by Spanish troops during the Schmalkaldic War in 1547. About a hundred years later (1636), the town under the castle was again ravaged by the turmoil of war during the Thirty Years' War and almost completely destroyed by Swedish mercenaries. On June 6, 1665, Hedwig Rösemann was sentenced to death at the stake as a witch and executed. In 1702 Belzig received full city rights.
During the Wars of Liberation in 1813, the Battle of Hagelberg took place near Belzig . The decisions of the Congress of Vienna , the date to was Saxony belonging Belzig in 1815. Prussia awarded and 1,818 district seat of the Zauch-Belzig in the administrative district of Potsdam the province of Brandenburg .
From 1900 to 1949
The lung sanatorium (today a rehabilitation clinic ) was completed in 1900. Belzig was electrified in July 1909. The village of Sandberg below the castle to Jaegers Hintermühle (Kirchhofstraße) was incorporated in 1914. In 1934 the Roederhof ammunition factory was built. When the war began, there was also a forced labor camp south of Lübnitzer Strasse for 1,500 men and women, mainly from Eastern Europe. In 1943, a satellite camp of the Ravensbrück concentration camp was set up with 750 female prisoners who had to work in the local ammunition factory. The sick were brought back to Ravensbrück to be murdered. From 1939 to 1945 the city was the seat of the largest German radio station for wireless communication.
On the night of May 1, 1945, Mayor Otto Witte (NSDAP) fled west with his followers. Afterwards, under the direction of the teacher Arthur Krause, a decision was made to raise white flags and to disarm the HJ ler at a citizens' meeting of several hundred residents on May 2nd . On the night of May 3, the last soldiers of the Wehrmacht withdrew from the castle. The first Soviet soldiers reached the city during the day and moved on; Arthur Krause only managed to officially hand over the city to the Soviet commanders on May 4th.
From 1950 until today
From 1952 Belzig was the district town of the Belzig district in the newly formed GDR district of Potsdam . In April 1953 the city administration, which had previously been housed elsewhere, was able to move into the town hall again. In 1959 Weitzgrund became part of Belzig's municipality. In 1972 the town hall burned down due to negligence.
During the GDR era, the "Central School of the Society for Sport and Technology Etkar André" was located in Bad Belzig. There, full-time employees of the Central Enlightenment Administration (HVA) of the Ministry for State Security (MfS) were trained for activities in western countries. This also included the recruiting of female spies (“Romeo School”).
In the course of the formation of offices in the state of Brandenburg, 14 communities (Borne, Bergholz, Dippmannsdorf, Fredersdorf, Groß Briesen, Hagelberg, Kuhlowitz, Lübnitz, Lüsse, Lütte, Neschholz, Ragösen, Schwanebeck and the city of Belzig) from the then Belzig district joined an administrative community, the Amt Belzig . On June 24, 1992, the Minister of the Interior of the State of Brandenburg approved the establishment of the Belzig Office. June 30, 1992 was set as the date on which the office was established. The office had its seat in the city of Belzig (today Bad Belzig). On October 20, 1992, the municipality of Werbig was also assigned to the Belzig office. In 1993 three districts merged to form the Potsdam-Mittelmark district and Belzig district town. On December 31, 2002, the municipalities of Bergholz, Borne, Dippmannsdorf, Fredersdorf, Groß Briesen, Kuhlowitz, Lübnitz, Lüsse, Lütte, Neschholz, Ragösen and Werbig were incorporated into the town of Belzig. On October 23, 2003, the municipalities Hagelberg and Schwanebeck were finally incorporated into the city of Belzig by law and the Belzig office was dissolved. The municipality of Hagelberg lodged a municipal constitutional complaint with the constitutional court of the state of Brandenburg, which was partly rejected, the rest rejected. The city of Belzig became vacant. The former official municipalities are now districts of the city of Bad Belzig.
Belzig has been a state-approved climatic health resort since 1995 and the SteinTherme, which was opened in 2002 (reconstructed in 2009), is a thermal brine bath. The Hofgarten cinema was opened on May 18, 2005, and a bypass road east of the city on September 12, 2005. Belzig has been a state-approved spa since December 5th, 2009 . With effect from March 1, 2010, the city will be named Bad Belzig.

Economy and Infrastructure
economy
The Potsdam-Mittelmark district administration in Niemöllerstrasse (old district administration building) and on Papendorfer Weg (extension buildings) is the major employer in the former agricultural town. Even as the seat of the Zauch-Belzig (1818–1952) and Belzig (1952–1993) districts, the administration was important for the otherwise rather rural area.
Otherwise, craft and medium-sized companies shape the economic structure. With a few exceptions, retail is concentrated in the city of Bad Belzig. Super, discount and hardware stores are more likely to be found on the exit roads. Small-scale retail continues to shape the historic old town. In a few districts there are still small grocery stores, bakeries and butchers. Another important employer in the city is the Bad Belzig district hospital .
The Seedoche business park on the B 246 at the end of the town in the direction of Brück is the only one in town with around 17 hectares. The occupancy rate is still unsatisfactory (with approx. 7 ha). The technology and start-up center (TGZ) "Fläming", which has existed since 1993, is intended to bring new impulses to the region or keep them there in terms of business start-ups, employment and economic development.
The ZEGG (Center for Experimental Society), which settled in the north of the city in 1991, sees itself as an economic and social model project .
tourism
“Bad Belzig” was the goal of the urban development policy that has been promoted since 1990. Tourism and the development of gastronomy and the hotel industry are therefore playing an increasing role in the economy of the city and its surroundings. The "Eisenhardt" castle, the castle's local history museum, the SteinTherme and the spa gardens, the leisure center with outdoor pool in summer, the spa gardens and the rehabilitation clinic are the cornerstones of this infrastructure. A subsidiary of the city, Kur- und Freizeit GmbH, operates the SteinTherme. The tourist information on the market square has been operated by the city administration again since 2013 (previously Kur- und Freizeit GmbH). In 2012, the Fläming with Bad Belzig as the central location was the venue for the German Hiking Day .
traffic
Bad Belzig is on the B 102 federal highway between Brandenburg an der Havel and Jüterbog and on the B 246 between Wiesenburg and Beelitz . The B 102 runs past the city as a bypass road. The nearest motorway junction (AS 5) is Niemegk on the A 9 (Berlin – Munich). It is located about nine kilometers to the southeast.
The Bad Belzig station is located on the railway line Berlin-Dessau . Regional Express trains on the RE 7 ( Airport Express ) line run every hour from Dessau via the Berlin Stadtbahn and Berlin-Schönefeld Airport station to Wünsdorf-Waldstadt .
Until 2003, the trains of the Brandenburg urban railway from Neustadt (Dosse) via Rathenow and Brandenburg an der Havel ended at a platform with its own reception building on the south side of the station. Until 1962 the passenger trains (after changing direction) continued to run to Treuenbrietzen .
Furthermore, Bad Belzig is a central hub for bus traffic in the southwest of the Potsdam-Mittelmark district. The Regiobus Potsdam-Mittelmark connects Bad Belzig with three PlusBus and other regional bus routes. The city has a bus station from which lines connect the small towns of the Hohen Fläming. There are hourly bus connections to Brandenburg an der Havel and Potsdam .
The European long-distance hiking trail E11 ( Netherlands - Masuria ), the German avenue road and the European cycle route Euroroute R1 ( Calais - Saint Petersburg ) run through Bad Belzig .
