history
After the Wendenkreuzzug of 1147, the area of the western Uckermark, including Berkholz, came under Ascanic rule and thus also became part of the Holy Roman Empire and its margraviate of Nordmark . After the Wenden campaign, it was possible to bring German settlers into the area, who were then also settled in Berkholz and thus founded the village, unless a predecessor Slavic settlement or a Slavic dwelling already existed. Around 1157, the Mark Brandenburg emerged essentially from the Nordmark , part of which the Berkholz region was henceforth.
In 1288 the village of Berkholz was first mentioned in a document as Berkholte (in the sense of "Birkenholz"). However, this is not an indication of how old the village was at that time.
In 1701 the personal union of Brandenburg-Prussia was transformed into the Kingdom of Prussia . Since then and until the dissolution of Prussia in 1947, Berkholz was to be a Prussian village.
In 1818 the new Prussian district Templin was established, to which Berkholz belonged in the future (until 1993).
After the Second World War , Berkholz was in the Soviet occupation zone and from 1949 to 1990 in the GDR . As before the war, Berkholz had belonged to the Templin district in the GDR, which until 1952 was assigned to the old Potsdam administrative district and, after its dissolution, to the Neubrandenburg district .
In 1992 the office "Boitzenburg (Uckermark)" was set up, to which Berkholz was also assigned.
In 1993 the district of Uckermark was created, to which the district of Templin, which had existed since 1818, was incorporated. Berkholz now belonged to the new district.
The previously independent municipality of Berkholz with the Neu Zerwelin residential area was added to the newly created municipality of Boitzenburger Land on December 31, 2001, to which the village has belonged ever since. The Boitzenburg (Uckermark) office, which had existed since 1992, was dissolved at the same time. As part of the new large community, Berkholz remained part of the Uckermark district.
