Barsberge is a forest area with a forest house of the same name and a residential area in the town of Seehausen (Altmark) in the Altmark in Saxony-Anhalt .

location

The living space , officially called Baarsberge , is about 4 kilometers southwest of the town of Seehausen at 55 meters above sea ​​level . A hiking trail leading from Seehausen towards Barsberge crosses a hill called Chimborazo . The path is mostly overgrown with pine trees. On the ascent to the Barsberge forester's lodge, you come through a mixed deciduous forest with oaks and beeches.

history

In 1789, the Baarsberge Holzwarterey consisted of a house with a fireplace. In 1804 the Barsberge or Barsewischer Berge timber maintenance company belonged to the von Barsewisch in Scharpenlohe . The area was later administered from the municipality of Drüsedau . The so-called vineyard located in the area originally belonged to the Dominican monastery in Seehausen and was called Mönkewynberg . On October 27, 1860, the town of Seehausen acquired the Barsewisch Mountains from the manor owner von Barsewisch . In 1889 Baarsberge was incorporated into Seehausen.

Forester's house and forester

The Barsberge forester's lodge, which is about 59 meters above sea level, was built towards the end of the 19th century in half-timbered construction and has served as an excursion restaurant since 1899. In 1900 it was expanded to include a hall that was used to entertain guests. The hall, also built as a half-timbered building, was coordinated in its architectural design with the forester's house. It stood in the middle of a small park that had been created around the Five Brothers Oak .

A lookout tower was built near the forester's lodge, the inauguration of which took place on July 15, 1894. It offered an overview of the entire wiped landscape , of the Prignitz and the Havelberg Cathedral. During a severe thunderstorm on August 7, 1898 around 11 p.m., a thunderstorm swept over Barsberge, tore the observation tower from its foundation, so that it overturned. The last guests experienced what was going on in the restaurant of the restaurant. It was to be replaced by a Bismarck tower on the occasion of Otto von Bismarck's 100th birthday in 1915, but this was not possible for financial reasons.

From 1861 to 1897, district forester Eduard Hahn worked in the Barsberge forester's house. In 1873 he received permission to lay out a burial place near the forester's house, the so-called forester cemetery . Hahn set up a family grave for himself and his family next to an oak that he planted. The forester's cemetery also served as the final resting place for later residents of Barsberge.

In 1897 the confectioner Albrecht leased the forester's house and in 1898 he set up a pub in it.

The forester's house from 1905

In 1905, a few years after Hahn's death, the forest ranger Nowathy took over the area. As a member of the Beautification Association, he created several small sights in the vicinity, such as the Hubertusquelle , the Hexentreppe and 12-Linden . The hiking trails were also paved and signposted. In 1906 Förster Nowradi (or Nowraty) took over the pub with his wife. In 1937 the forester's house was connected to the power supply. Electric lighting replaced the kerosene lamps that were still in use until then.

In 1962 the restaurant "Forsthaus Barsberge" was handed over to the craftsmen of the Seehausen district as a NAW property. Seehaus craftsmen were heavily involved in its renovation. The restaurant was opened on May 31, 1963. In 1965 a stable and the old barn were torn down. A large hall extension with a covered terrace was built at this point to expand the capacity of the restaurant. A hunting center was set up in the early 1970s. After the restaurant had been empty for several years, it was reopened in 1996 by the Marquardt family . In 2000, a fallow deer enclosure was set up as part of an ABM project . The gate has an area of ​​1.7 hectares and is surrounded by a fence about 850 meters long and 2.20 meters high. The first philistine was donated by August Becker and was named Hirsch August . There were also four doe cows at first. Two white fallow deer have been living in the enclosure since 2010.

Since 2019 the restaurant has been leased by restaurateurs Cerry and Christian Meyer.

Dog cemetery and goldfish pond

In addition to the forester's cemetery , there is also the Barsberge dog cemetery , which was also initiated by Förster Hahn. He buried his faithful dog Nimroth in the forest. The Barsberge dog cemetery, where numerous other animals have since been buried, is possibly the oldest surviving dog cemetery at all.

Nimroth had led his master out of the swampy area around the goldfish pond when visibility was poor. The local beautification association created this goldfish pond in 1870 on Kaiserplatz near Seehausen. 150 different types of shrub were planted around the pond on the way to Barsberge. In 1909 there was a flood that flooded Kaiserplatz; numerous goldfish disappeared afterwards. In 1939 the goldfish pond was filled in. The imperial oak and a memorial stone from 1871 have been preserved from Kaiserplatz.

Sängergrund Barsberge

On June 21, 1961, a singers' meeting took place in the "Sängergrund" on Barsberge with choirs from Bad Wilsnack, Jeetze, Brunau, Lenzen, Arendsee and Werben as well as the Seehausen men's choir, the Joseph Haydn singing group and the Winckelmann Oberschule choir. In 1997 and 1998 the tradition was resumed and there were meetings of the local choirs with guest choirs again. The hunting horn blowers have met annually on Barsberge since 1997, and in 1999 and 2000 they were in the Sängergrund.
