geography

Geographical location

Beelitz is located in the center of the Nuthe-Nieplitz nature park . The Beelitzer Sander with extensive pine forests and the "Nuthe-Nieplitz-Niederung" nature reserve with generous, moist lowland areas are in its vicinity .

geology

Like all of Brandenburg , Beelitz owes its existence to the Ice Age advances of the inland ice and its meltwater. The current urban area was completely covered by ice 20,000 years ago during the most recent, the Vistula Ice Age. It reached its maximum extent about 10 km south and only a few km west of the city. During this time the Zauche plateau was formed as sand . This sander is also known as the Beelitzer sander. It borders the urban area in the north and west. With the beginning of the inland ice melting, the area quickly became free of ice. The ground moraine surface , which should actually exist, was largely buried or eroded by younger melt waters that formed a glacial valley . Only the immediate city center stands on a residual glacial till , emerging like islands from the Urstromtalung. According to recent studies, it is said to come from the penultimate period, the Saale Ice Age. The landscape around Beelitz is very similar to the Baruther glacial valley , although the city is 15 km north of it. Mighty sands , which form the basis of asparagus cultivation, were deposited with the meltwater . In the post-ice age , extensive but relatively thin bogs emerged in the glacial valley through which the Nieplitz flows, as on the nature-protected Riebener See .

climate

The exchange between the dry air of the sandy pine forest with the humid air of the adjacent lowlands results in a special air quality. The annual precipitation is 530 mm and is therefore very low, as it falls into the lower tenth of the values ​​recorded in Germany. Lower values ​​are registered at 7% of the measuring stations of the German Weather Service . The driest month is February, with the most rainfall in June. In June there is 1.8 times more rainfall than in February. The precipitation hardly varies and is very evenly distributed over the year. Lower seasonal fluctuations are registered at only 9% of the German measuring stations.

City structure

According to its main statutes, Beelitz consists of the following districts:

There are also the residential areas Buchholzer Mühle, Elstal, Kietz and Siedlung.

history

Traces of settlement from the Neolithic and the Bronze Age

In the area of ​​the Nieplitz (Flur 15, 16), a settlement from the Neolithic is known and a resting place and work place from the same era. There was also a Bronze Age settlement (ground monument number 30674). During the construction of the B2 bypass road, another Bronze Age settlement was cut at the intersection with Trebbiner Strasse (corridor 16) (ground monument number 30681).

Finds from two urn cemeteries show that it was around 300 BC. BC there was a settlement here.

Possible origin before or in the 10th century, aspiring pilgrimage site

In 997 a Slavic place called Belizi in Gau Bloni was first mentioned in a document. Both Beelitz and the neighboring Bad Belzig claim this certificate and thus a 1000-year history for themselves.

The legend of the miraculous blood, according to which a host acquired spell and healing power, made Beelitz a place of pilgrimage in 1247 . A report from the 16th century, which, following the legend of the ritual murder, states that the host was "tortured and desecrated" by Jews, was often taken as an indication that Jews had already lived there at that time. For a long time, this assumption was considered the oldest evidence of the presence of Jews in the Mark Brandenburg , but it is completely unproven. There are no reliable reports of a Jewish presence in Beelitz. Letters of indulgence from the 13th century mention the miracle of the host, but not the participation of Jews in this “desecration”.

In the 15th century, Beelitz's sphere of influence extended to Wildenbruch, among other places . In the Codex diplomaticus Brandenburgensis , Riedel reports that “the village of Wildenbruch paid a total of 7 almond groschen a year to several citizens of Beelitz, and that the farmers had to give three Beelitz shillings as well as three coin pfennigs to interest . “ During the Thirty Years' War Beelitz suffered from marching through troops and billeting and had to pay contributions. When in 1731 the soldier king Friedrich Wilhelm placed the soldiers of his newly established hussar squadrons in the town houses (including Rittmeister Hans Joachim von Zieten ), Beelitz became a garrison town .

18th to 19th century

In the first half of the 18th century, a Jewish cemetery was laid out on the current street of Aufbau at the corner of Clara-Zetkin-Straße . Destroyed by the National Socialists , it was repaired during the GDR era . There has been a memorial plaque there since 1988.

During the retreat from Napoleon's Russian campaign in 1812/13, Beelitz was also affected by the war. On March 3, 1813, a section of persecuting Cossacks of the Russian army under General Count Wittgenstein attacked the rear troops of the Grande Armée under Eugène de Beauharnais (Viceroy of Italy and Napoleon's stepson) at Beelitz. On the morning of March 6, 1813, 2000 Cossacks gathered on the windmill field and, supported by 120 armed Beelitzers, attacked Napoleon's army by surprise. The French were persecuted until shortly before Treuenbrietzen . Then the Russians returned and molested the Beelitzer. A cannonball in a house wall in Trebbiner Straße still announces the bombardment at that time, and a memorial plaque added during the GDR era commemorates the brotherhood in arms with the Russians.

In 1861 the first asparagus cultivation took place in Beelitz (by the glazier and arable citizen Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Herrmann). In 2015 the asparagus acreage in the region was around 1,300 ha, the harvest yield reached around 16,000 t.

Around 1910 the German-Israelitische Gemeindebund Berlin maintained a home in Beelitz for mentally handicapped children and young people, the only Jewish curative educational institution in Germany. In 1937, 56 girls and boys were still cared for there. In June 1942 the children and their tutors were deported to extermination camps. At the grammar school on Karl-Liebknecht-Straße , a plaque with the Star of David has been commemorating their fate since the end of the 20th century .

20th century: radio receiving center

In 1928, Telefunken set up an overseas receiving station near what is now the Schönefeld district . It was used for telegraphic and telephone communication, initially mainly with the USA and South America. In association with the operations center at the Haupttelegraphenamt Berlin (HTA) and the overseas transmission station in Nauen , telegrams , radio calls and image telegrams (similar to today's fax ) were transmitted between Germany and abroad by radio on long or short waves . Originally built for the Telefunken subsidiary Transradio (and as a replacement for the station in Geltow ), the radio receiving center (as well as the transmitting station in Nauen ) were subordinated to the Deutsche Post in 1930. The well-known Telefunken architect Hermann Muthesius was no longer alive when the company building in Beelitz was built, but you can still see that the buildings were designed in his architectural office. In addition, these buildings prove the excellent performance and quality of the Beelitz construction company Schielicke. Between 1929 and 1931, receivers and radio operators were gradually moved from Geltow to Beelitz. Telefunken had developed new large receivers which, together with the newly installed antenna systems, ensured reception from New York, Cairo, Buenos Aires, Batavia , Rio de Janeiro, Manila, Bangkok, Santiago de Chile, Osaka, Mexico, Tehran and Shanghai. Soon more stations were added.

Among the most impressive antenna systems were the four goniometer antennas for long wave reception, the masts of which were furthest away on the meadows behind Krobs Hof in Beelitz and on the meadows between Rieben and Dobbrikow. Another masterpiece of the Telefunken development is the so-called Christmas tree antenna , which consisted of an interconnection of 96 individual dipoles, which were suspended from 75 m high steel masts. All of this served to receive signals that were as interference-free as possible, which were transmitted by cable to Berlin to the HTA or to the telephone exchange (Fernamt Berlin). The Beelitz radio reception center was thus part of the worldwide postal telecommunications network. Around 1930, the term that Beelitz was the (German) "ear to the world" was also created.

During the Second World War, the connections to many partner radio stations were interrupted.

After the Second World War, the Beelitz radio reception center established the radio links for the GDR post with Moscow, Beijing, Shanghai, Cairo, Helsinki, Budapest, Belgrade, Ulan Bator, Pyongyang and Havana, among others.

With the increased expansion of international cable connections using fiber optic cables , the transition from post-transmitted telegrams and long-distance calls to communication established directly by the subscriber took place step by step.

Finally, the technically excellent systems of the Beelitz radio reception center (together with the shortwave transmitters in Nauen) were used to handle long-distance connections for maritime radio in the GDR.

In Beelitz there was practically a workplace for the coast radio station Rügen Radio . The last broadcast of Rügen Radio went from here on April 22, 1991 at 00:01 UTC . The shortwave transmission and thus the radio reception center in Beelitz became superfluous.

After being used as a boarding house and “Pfötchenhotel” animal shelter, it is in bankruptcy and is for sale (as of mid-January 2015).

Beelitz from 1990

After the reunification , the districts that had existed up until then were dissolved and new federal states were formed. Beelitz, until then part of the Potsdam-Land district in the GDR district of Potsdam , came to the state of Brandenburg . The administrative structure of the localities now also had to be changed; On June 23, 1992, the Minister of the Interior gave his approval for the establishment of the Beelitz Office with its seat in the city of Beelitz. June 26, 1992 was set as the date of implementation. The following municipalities of the then Potsdam-Land district were amalgamated (in the order in which they were named in the official gazette): Rieben, Zauchwitz, Schlunkendorf, Schäpe, Reesdorf, Salzbrunn, Buchholz, Elsholz, Busendorf, Fichtenwalde, Wittbrietzen and the city of Beelitz. Today's large community was created through the merger of the city of Beelitz with the places of the former Beelitz office on December 31, 2001. The Beelitz office was dissolved at the same time.

mayor

  • 1990–2010: Thomas Wardin ( SPD ), until 2001 also official director of the Beelitz office
  • since 2010: Bernhard Knuth (Citizens Alliance Beelitz)

Knuth was confirmed in the mayoral election on March 11, 2018 with 93.4 percent of the valid votes for a further term of eight years.

coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved on January 10, 1992.

Blazon : "In silver a gold-armed red eagle covered with golden clover stalks on the Saxen, in its claws a golden key on the right and a golden crescent moon on the left."

The elements of the coat of arms are documented on city seals until the Middle Ages. Already in one of the first known seals from the Middle Ages there is a right-turned key accompanied by crescent moons on a coat of arms with flowers. The eagle that steps up comes from the Brandenburg symbolism and displaced the key from the center of the shield.

The symbolism of the crescent moons is both interesting and not fully clarified. One assumption points to a medieval symbolism for "Maria". In the local church of St. Marien and St. Nikolai there was a miracle of the host, so that in the 13th and 14th centuries the place was a well-known place of pilgrimage for the veneration of Mary. The crescent moons in the city seal date from this medieval period and have been preserved as a special feature through all changes in the design of the coat of arms.

Partnerships

Sights and culture

The protected cultural monuments of the city are described in the list of architectural monuments in Beelitz and in the list of ground monuments in Beelitz .

Buildings

Old post office with museum
  • With its medieval floor plan, the old town is an area monument in which some buildings are identified as individual monuments.
  • The old post office, built in 1789 by the then mayor and postmaster Gottlieb Ferdinand Kaehne in the style of late baroque classicism , has again housed the local history museum since the 1999 Asparagus Festival . A Prussian milestone on the Poststrasse Berlin-Leipzig in the course of the B 2 from the 19th century is not far away.
  • The parish church of St. Marien and St. Nikolai , first mentioned in 1247, was built as a three-aisled basilica from around 1400 . It has been a hall church since 1511 . The miracle blood chapel, renovated in 1996, and the Petruskanzel, a gift from the Prussian King Friedrich I in 1703, are worth seeing .
Former thermal power station with water tower in the Beelitz-Heilstätten district
  • The 40 m high water tower , completed in 1928, is one of the landmarks of Beelitz and housed the Beelitz Zauche Museum from 1944 to the end of the 1990s.
  • The former municipal power station on Nürnbergstrasse was built in 1909. The building was initially single-nave; the western part was added later and has fewer decorations than the eastern part.
  • The Beelitz-Heilstätten workers' pulmonary sanatorium , built between 1898 and 1930 by the Berlin State Insurance Company , formed one of the largest hospital complexes in the Berlin area . From 1945 to 1994 they were the largest military hospital of the Soviet Army outside the Soviet Union . This was also the location of the on liver cancer diseased Erich Honecker from April 1990 to March 1991, before he and his wife Margot were flown on 13 March 1991 after Moscow. Some buildings have now been renovated and returned to medical use. A large part of the site, which is worth seeing, fell into disrepair and was badly damaged by vandalism . In 2015, a treetop path was opened on the site . Since 2017, many buildings have been renovated, converted into high-quality living space and supplemented by new buildings.
  • Also worth seeing are the Jewish cemetery , the post mill from 1792 and the Beelitz Asparagus Museum in Schlunkendorf, which opened in 1998 .
  • The Nieplitzturm on the Katzenberg is an observation tower that allows a view of the Nieplitz lowland, the Nieplitzlauf and an oxbow of the river. The building is a joint project between the city and the Nuthe-Nieplitz Nature Park.

Economy and Infrastructure

Established businesses

The main economic sector is agricultural production, especially the cultivation of asparagus . Beelitz asparagus is a delicacy among connoisseurs. Baby food was produced in the city during the GDR era, the business was continued by Bekina Lebensmittel GmbH after the fall of the Wall, but had to be given up in 2004. The buildings were used by Struik Foods Europe for the production of soups and ready-made meals (including for the Sonnen Bassermann brand and several house brands from well-known discounters) until autumn 2019 .

In the Beelitz-Heilstätten district there are several medical and social facilities with around 500 jobs. Beelitz-Heilstätten is expanding rapidly through rapid expansion.

Beelitz is the location of Bundeswehr units. There is a medium-sized food processing company, three larger and several smaller construction companies and many smaller craft businesses.

The trade is concentrated with numerous retail stores in downtown Beelitz. There are also larger markets in the settlement centers. The southern commercial center has clearly lost its importance. Tourism is also playing an increasing role in Beelitz , especially day tourism to Beelitz-Heilstätten (treetop path) and Klaistow (asparagus farm with a number of leisure facilities).

traffic

There are four train stations in the city. The Beelitz Stadt train station and the Elsholz and Buchholz (Zauche) stops are served by the regional train line RB 33 Berlin-Wannsee - Jüterbog . They are on the Jüterbog – Nauen railway line . The city acquired the Beelitz Stadt station building, opened an information point and wants to use it again.

The Beelitz-Heilstätten station is located on the Berlin-Blankenheimer Eisenbahn (Berlin - Bad Belzig - Dessau-Roßlau ) . The trains on the Regional Express line RE 7 Dessau- Berlin- Wünsdorf -Waldstadt stop here. The previously unused station building, which basically dates from 1879, was auctioned off to an investor from Berlin at the end of 2013. The first substance-preserving construction work began in spring 2019.

Via the Regiobus Potsdam-Mittelmark , Beelitz can be reached with three PlusBus and other transport companies that are part of the VBB .

Federal highways 2 ( Potsdam - Lutherstadt Wittenberg ) and 246 ( Brück - Trebbin ) cross in the city . Beelitz is connected to the motorway network via the Beelitz and Beelitz-Heilstätten junction of the A 9 and the Michendorf junction of the A 10 (Berliner Ring).

education

  • Diesterweg primary school (district Beelitz)
  • Oberschule (district Beelitz)
  • Sally-Bein-Gymnasium (district Beelitz)
  • Primary school Fichtenwalde (district Fichtenwalde)
  • General special school (district Beelitz)
