history

12th to 17th centuries

Baruth Castle around 1860, Alexander Duncker collection

A castle with an associated settlement was built in the course of the German East Settlement in the 12th century. The settlers chose a sandy headland 1.5 km to 2 km wide, which enabled a safe crossing of the Glogau-Baruther glacial valley . Baruth / Mark was first mentioned in a document in 1234 and then belonged to the Ernestine Dukes of Saxony before it came to the Albertine line under Moritz von Sachsen . The parish church of St. Sebastian was built in the second half of the 15th or first half of the 16th century , presumably including a previous building. In 1537 the Solms family acquired the dominion of Sonnewalde ( Niederlausitz ) and Pouch (near Bitterfeld ). 1581/1582, the family sold from Schlieben the rule Baruth on the Trebbiner Amtshauptmann, Hans von book. Shortly afterwards, in 1595, there was a fire in the town, in which the castle was destroyed and the church was badly damaged. Von Buch then sold Baruth the following year for 70,000 guilders to Count Otto zu Solms-Laubach . He decided not to rebuild the castle, but instead to build a castle consisting of a multi-wing complex from 1598. After the death of his son in 1615, this branch of the family died out and Baruth became an independent county of Solms-Baruth under its new ruler, Johann Georg II. In 1616, Baruth / Mark received the so-called Magdeburg town charter . Johann Georg II was the head of the Saxon regiment and therefore rarely in Baruth. When he died in 1632, his wife Anna Maria, née Countess zu Erbach-Fürstenau, moved with the children to the town for a short time. After the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War , however, in 1636 she fled to Lichtenburg Castle , the widow's residence of Hedwig of Denmark , wife Christian II. In 1641 there was another fire in the city, which also destroyed the castle. After the end of the war, Anna Maria's son, Johann Friedrich, took over the business in Baruth. After her death in 1663, the brothers Friedrich Sigismund I and Johann Georg III. the place below and initially managed it together. After 1665 the castle was rebuilt as a two-storey , multi-axis building with a stair tower on the foundation of the previous building. It was therefore referred to as the Old Castle at a later date . However, after a city fire in 1671, a dispute arose as to who should contribute which part of the reconstruction. Ultimately, the brothers divided the place between themselves in 1673: The Baruth reign was divided into a western and an eastern part with seven villages each, and each received half of the town of Baruth - a decisive event that lasted into the 19th century should stay. At the end of the 17th century, Baruth was ruled by the brothers Friedrich Sigismund II and Johann Christian I. In 1697 he married Countess Helena Constantia Henckel von Donnersmarck , whose grandson, Johann Christian II., In 1764 married Wilhelmine Countess Luise zu Promnitz , née Countess zu Lippe-Biesterfeld. She brought the rule of Klitschdorf from their first marriage into the relationship that was to become a residence of a branch of the family until 1945. Both installed a bailiff in Baruth for administration.

18th century

Friedrich Sigismund II, in turn, took a large forest fire in 1715 as an opportunity to engage the master glassmaker Bernsdorf in 1716. He was given the right to build the Baruth glassworks and used the Solms-Baruth forests to extract potassium carbonate from which he - mixed with sand - made glass. From 1784 Friedrich Karl Leopold took over the property, but he did not stay often in Baruth either. His father had already bought chasuble in 1763 ; In 1792 he bought Golzig . His son, Friedrich Heinrich Ludwig, also lived in Kasel at first. In 1820 he married Bertha Gräfin zu Solms-Baruth, the sister of Count Johann Christian Heinrich Hermann zu Solms-Baruth, who at that time owned the second share. He sold his share to Friedrich Heinrich Ludwig, who established a majorate to avoid further fragmentation of the rule. In doing so, he stipulated that in future only the next male relative and, if the relationship was the same, the oldest should inherit. Friedrich Heinrich Ludwig succeeded not only in consolidating the Baruth rule after more than 120 years, but also expanded it with the purchase of Kreblitz in 1838 and Golßen in 1846. Under his aegis , the Baruther glassworks in particular led to an economic boom. After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the city was assigned to the administrative district of Potsdam and thus Prussia. In 1879 his only son, Friedrich Herrmann Adolph, succeeded him. He was by Friedrich III. raised to the rank of prince and Baruth was thus the seat of a prince until 1844. On his initiative, Frauenberg , located southwest of the city, was converted into a park with a hereditary burial site in 1890.

19th to 21st century

From 1815 to 1946 Baruth belonged to the Jüterbog-Luckenwalde district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg , which was renamed the Luckenwalde district in 1946. From 1952 to 1993 Baruth was in the Zossen district (until 1990 in the GDR district of Potsdam ). During excavations in the 1980s and 1990s, a donjon made of field stones and a diameter of 11.5 m was uncovered north of the old castle's women's shelter . Renovation work has been going on at the women's shelter since 2009. The foundation walls of the old palace from 1440 were discovered. They stand on a previous wooden building, the wood of which could be dated to the second half of the 12th century through dendrochronological research . The church was therefore extensively renovated between 2001 and 2008.
