history

Berlitt was first mentioned in a document in 1440. The name derives from an aplb. Basic form * Birlit- = swampy place. Berlitt is located south of the marshy valley of the Königsfließ. According to the village structure, it is a street village with an estate and a church.

Ownership history

In 1440 the Brandenburg Margrave Friedrich II gave the village of Berlitt with all rights (and other goods) to Clawsse, Hunre, Kirstan, Heinriche, Clawsse and Hansse von Königsmarck . It was a revival; H. the village had been in the possession of the v. Koenigsmarck. In 1525 there was a knight seat of the v. Königsmarck in Berlitt. In 1541 Achim von Königsmarck sat on this knight's seat in Berlitt. According to the register of tax contributions from 1542, Hans von Königsmarck was resident in Berlitt. He gave eight guilders in tax, a comparatively small amount. In a contract of 1543 between the cathedral chapter in Havelberg, the von Quitzow and von Königsmarck on the one hand and the von Kröcher on the other hand, about logging and protection rights in the village of Stüdenitz , on the desert Feldmark Roddahn and in the Totenbusch were Reder, Engelke, Asmus and Hans von Königsmark sat on Kötzlin and Berlitt called. In 1578 the knight's seat in Berlitt belonged to Hans von Königsmarck, son of Achim von Königsmarck. The von Königsmarck in Kötzlin and Berlitt had to serve the elector with two horses. In the 17th century, the v. Königsmarck in Berlitt in three parts. In 1684 there were three knightly seats in Berlitt: one belonged to Otto Friedrich von Wietstruck, the second to (Joachim) Christoph von Königsmarck (? –1690) and the third to the "Jungfern von Kröcher".

The estate of the "Jungfern von Kröcher"

1594 sat in Berlitt Rüdiger von Königsmarck. He had taken out a capital of 100 thalers from Valentin von Krüsicke, for which he had to raise a wispel of rye in Berlitt as security. According to Klöden, Rüdiger von Königsmarck bequeathed the knight's seat in Berlitt to his wife Elisabeth von Wittstruck as a treasure in 1596. In 1604, Rüdiger von Königsmarck auf Berlitt and Elisabeth von Wittstruck, daughter of Otto von Wittstruck auf Brunne, founded a marriage foundation. The marriage allowance was set at 2000 guilders, the jewelry money at 700 guilders. Rüdiger von Königsmarck must have died soon after 1604. Since the couple had no children, the knight's seat in Berlitt now passed to Elisabeth von Wittstruck's second husband, Erdmann Philipp von Krüseke. From this marriage there were no more children and so after the death of Erdmann Philipp in 1641 the estate fell to Erdmann Philips' sister, Kunigunde Magdalena von Krüseke, who taught it to her husband Henning Christoph von Kröcher on Dannenwalde and Herzsprung. The couple had three daughters Anna Maria, Kunigunde Magdalena and Ursula Sophia, all three of whom remained unmarried; it was subsequently also called the estate of the "Jungfern von Kröcher". In 1679 the v. Kröcher two farms with two hooves each in Berlitt to the v. Wittstruck. 1686 belonged to the knight seat of the v. Crook three hooves land. In 1694, Joachim Siegfried von Königsmarck (1659–1715), son of Joachim Christoph, redeemed the estate of the "Jungfern von Kröcher" on Kötzlin. (according to the historical local dictionary 1714).

Wittstruck's knight's seat

1609 was part of Berlitt to the v. Wittstruck (also Wietstruck) has been sold. In 1609 they owned a knight's seat with 6 hooves, 5¼ farmers, 3/8 kossaten and 5/16 at the court and patronage. In 1613, Joachim Christoph v. Wittstruck auf Berlitt, presumably also the buyer of the share. In 1621 the v. Wittstruck 3/8 of the court and the patronage. According to the special role of the Prignitzir knighthood, feudal horses from 1666, they had to provide a feudal horse. In 1684 the knight's seat belonged to Otto Friedrich von Wittstruck (1660–1704), who was married to Ilsabe Hedwig von Königsmarck from the Kötzlin family. In 1726 Otto Dietrich von Wietstruck was the owner of the knight's seat, presumably the son of Otto Friedrich above. In 1745, four farmers and one kätner belonged to Wittstruck's knight seat in Berlitt. The windmill belonged to them together with Joachim Siegfried v. Koenigsmarck. The V. Wittstruck were also wealthy in Kantow (district of Wusterhausen / Dosse ). In 1766 they sold their share in Berlitt to Christof Siegfried von Königsmarck (1745–1778). The V. Königsmarck were now in sole possession of the village until 1872.

The proportion of the v. Koenigsmarck

In 1530 a Rüdiger (Reder) from Königsmarck sat on Kötzlin, later his son Andreas Joachim Christoph von Königsmarck. This was the heir to Kötzlin, Roddahn, Berlitt, Vehlin, Stüdenitz and others. a. and the ancestor of the later von Königsmarck. He was married to Dorothea von Bülow. He was followed by his son Christoph Konrad, an imperial Rittmeister. On February 25, 1600 (March 4), Hans Christopher was born as the son of Christoph Konrad von Königsmarck and his wife Beatrix von Blumenthal in Kötzlin. He rose to the position of field marshal in the Swedish service in the Thirty Years War and received the dignity of count. In 1662 Hans Christopher von Königsmarck ceded his claims to the Brandenburg property to his brother Joachim Christoph von Königsmarck (? -1690) on Kötzlin. Joachim Christoph was married to Sophie von Jagow. The son Joachim Siegfried (1659–1715) emerged from the marriage. His first marriage was to Judith von Platen († 1696) and his second marriage to Sabine von Blumenthal. The two sons Hans Christoph (1700–1779) and Jakob Siegfried (1702–1757) came from the latter marriage .

Jakob Siegfried was in the military and rose to lieutenant colonel . He was with Sophie v. Behr-Negendank married, the couple had only one son Christof Siegfried (1745–1778). Hans Christoph rose to the position of major general in the Prussian army. He was the governor of Preussisch Eylau in the former East Prussia . In 1773 he acquired Netzeband and Stöffin (both from Neuruppin ). The Berlitt and Kötzlin estates were heavily in debt. After the death of Hans Christoph in 1779, he left no heirs despite two marriages, his goods passed into the possession of his great nephews Hans Valentin Ferdinand von Königsmarck (1773-1849) and Josef Jakob Ludwig (1779-1837). His brother Jakob Siegfried and his nephew Christof Siegfried, who was actually entitled to inherit, had died before him. Hans Valentin Ferdinand took over Netzeband and Stöffin, while Josef Jakob got Ludwig Kötzlin and Berlitt. Hans Valentin Ferdinand was married to Henriette von Struensee (1779–1832) and the couple had five children. In 1803 he was appointed hereditary steward of the Kurmark, in 1817 he was raised to the rank of count. According to the local register, Berlitt belonged to the Hereditary Court Master of Königsmarck in 1817 . In 1837 he also received his brother's share who had died without a descendant. Hans Valentin Ferdinand died in 1849. His eldest son Hans Karl Albrecht (1799–1866) inherited the title of hereditary steward , who took over the Netzeband and Stöffin estates. The middle son Adolph Wilhelm Hans von Königsmarck (1802–1875) received Kötzlin, Berlitt and Lenzerwische, the youngest son Hans Ludwig Otto (1815–1876) the Chodziesen estate - Oberlesnitz (at that time the Chodziesen district in West Prussia ).

Adolph Wilhelm Hans von Königsmarck married Josefine in 1823, daughter of Baron Kaspar von Miaskowski and Countess Marianne Dieterike von der Mark, the illegitimate daughter of Friedrich Wilhelm II. The couple had four children, three of whom grew up. The eldest daughter Elisabeth (1825–1901) married Gustav Gans zu Putlitz on Retzin . Heir to Berlitt was the son Adolf Hans Joseph von Königsmarck (1830–1878). He was with Elsbeth von Kleist, daughter of Hermann von Kleist, heir to (Groß-) Dubberow and Drenow in the Belgard district (Pomerania) and Rosalie Dorothee Amalie Anna born. married by Kameke. The manor was then owned by their son, Count Friedrich Wilhelm Adolf von Königsmarck (1868–1945), who in 1922 relocated from Berlitt to Karnzow . During the land reform of 1945/46 in the former Soviet zone of occupation, the manor was expropriated and divided.

Village history

In 1526 the church in Berlitt was built; the dating of the church was done with the help of dendrochronology . 1545 lived in Berlitt 15 farm workers and seven farmers . The pastor had two parish hooves . In 1576 there were 17 farms in the village, but two of them had already been bought out by the von Königsmarck family. There were also six cottages living in Berlitt. In 1581 the total number of hooves, namely 40 hooves, is mentioned for the first time.

Before 1609, von Königsmarck bought another farm. The Thirty Years War must have devastated Berlitt, because in 1652 only 12 adults lived in the village. In 1686 the v. Wittstruck holds the knight's seat with six hooves. The V. Kröcher had a courtyard with three hooves. Christoph von Königsmarck lived in a courtyard with three hooves. He had set up a dairy in another Dreihufenhof. Also a desolate Zweihufenhof of the v. He had converted Wittruck into a dairy farm. The Lehnschulzengut with three hooves lay desolate. Seven out of eight two-hoofed farms were also not occupied, but four single-hoofed farms and two half-hoofed farms. The authorities had the fallow goods cultivated. The four cottagers, including Schulze, had some arable land. Among the two lodgers was a linen weaver and a day laborer. The sexton was also a tailor. A pitcher position was set up on a farm, but it was not occupied in 1686 (“now there is no pitcher”). Two bushels of grain were sown on the 22 (!, correct 42?) Hooves, 21 wispel . The villagers had no fishing rights and could only get a makeshift supply of firewood. Very few cattle could be kept in the few meadows; and no mast was possible. The field was in three large fields, the quality of the field was rated as mediocre. After all, he carried the fourth grain.

By 1719 some farm positions had been filled again. After all, ten hoppers lived in the village again, plus six cottagers, two shepherds with cattle and two shepherds without cattle. The 20 (!) Hooves were estimated at 9 groschen each. In 1734, in addition to the ten farmers, there were now 13 residents in Berlitt, three shepherds and one shepherd. The sowing on the 20 (!) Hooves amounted to 21 wispel 2 bushels. In 1745 there were two knight seats in the village. 13 farmers have now been named, but only four kätner. A windmill is also mentioned for the first time in 1745. The Urmes table sheet from 1843 shows a windmill (certainly the same) northeast of the village on a hill. It is still recorded in the topographic map 1: 25,000 (edition from 1938). In 1791, nine whole farmers, seven cottagers, two Büdner, eleven housekeepers and an administrator as well as the pastor lived in the village in 31 fire places.

In 1801 Berlitt is described as a village and estate with 31 fireplaces. The social structure was as follows: a Lehnschulze, nine whole farmers, seven Kossaten, a Büdner, 19 residents and a blacksmith, a total of 197 people. There were 100 acres of wood in the area, the field was divided into 22 hooves. With the Prussian reforms , the rural community now joined the manor district. In 1819 the population of Berlitt is described again: nine hoppers, seven kossaths, a blacksmith, a groom, a shepherd with cattle, a shepherd without cattle and six pairs of residents. The 18 (!) Hooves were taxed at 9 groschen. The Urmes table sheet 3039 Demerthin from 1841 records next to the windmill a brickworks east of the town center and some peat cuttings in the valley of the Königsfließ. The cemetery had already been moved away from the church to the corner of An der Bahn and Kyritzer Allee. In 1846 39 houses were counted. In 1852 the field of the property was divided into seven fields and a safe grain soil, on which rye was mainly grown. In 1860, 1918 acres belonged to the municipality, of which 78 acres were homesteads, 1,410 acres were arable, 244 acres were meadows and 249 acres were pasture. The manor district comprised 1,406 acres, of which 10 acres were homesteads, 1,122 acres were fields, 180 acres were meadows and 94 acres were pasture. Six public buildings, 30 residential buildings and 31 farm buildings, including a flour mill, belonged to the municipality. The manor district included 12 residential buildings and 15 farm buildings including the brick factory. On October 15, 1897, the Perleberg-Kyritz narrow-gauge railway was inaugurated. Berlitt received a breakpoint near the village. On May 31, 1969, the train service on this route was stopped again.

Seal of the municipality of Berlitt (between 1850 and 1920)

By 1900 the number of residential houses in the municipality had shrunk to 25 houses and in the manor district to nine houses. The municipal district measured 546 ha, the manor district 446 ha. South-east of the town center, the topographic map 1: 25,000 3039 Demerthin (around 1900) shows a sand pit. In the lower part of the Königsfließ peat mining was increased. In 1931 the area had a size of 992 ha. There were 49 houses in the village. In 1939 one farm had a size of over 100 ha, 12 farms ranged between 20 and 100 ha, two farms between 10 and 20 ha, two farms between 5 and 10 ha and five farms had a size of 0.5 to 5 ha Most of the Berlitter worked in agriculture and forestry, 18 earned their living in industry and handicrafts and four were active in trade and transport.

In the land reform of 1945/6 in what was then the GDR, the manor with 595.4 hectares was expropriated and divided. Four new farmers would receive 2.32 hectares, seven new farmers 13.44 hectares and eleven new farmers 88.88 hectares. 429.6 hectares were distributed to 36 new owners, one received 18.49 hectares. The land owned by six old farmers was increased by 29.98 hectares increased. The remainder went to the community and the Association of Mutual Farmers Aid (VdgB). In 1953 the first LPG type III "Glückauf" was founded with 17 members and 88 ha of agricultural land. Three more LPG Type I followed by 1960, the LPG “Frischer Mut”, the LPG “Frischer Wind” and the LPG “Empor”. In 1960 the four LPG in Berlitt had a total of 117 members and farmed 738 hectares of agricultural land. In 1961 the two LPGs "Frischer Mut" and "Frischer Wind" were connected to the LPG Type III "Glückauf". In 1970 the LPG Type I "Empor" was also combined with the LPG Type III. In 1977 the LPG in Berlitt and Rehfeld were finally merged to form LPG Tierproduktion Rehfeld-Berlitt, based in Rehfeld. In 1990 the LPG Tierproduktion Rehfeld-Berlitt was transferred to the Agrargenossenschaft eG Rehfeld-Berlitt.

Political and community affiliation

Berlitt lies in the historical landscape of the Prignitz and belonged to the Kyritzic circle . In the district reform of 1817, the Prignitz was divided into two districts, the Ostprignitz and the Westprignitz ; Berlitt came to the Ostprignitz district. In the district reform of 1952, the Ostprignitz district was essentially divided into four districts, which were assigned to the newly formed Potsdam district. Berlitt came to Kreis Kyritz . On October 1, 1973, Berlitt and Rehfeld merged to form the municipality of Rehfeld-Berlitt . In the course of the formation of offices in Brandenburg, Rehfeld-Berlitt merged with six other communities and the city of Kyritz to form the administrative community of Amt Kyritz . On December 31, 2002 Rehfeld-Berlitt was incorporated into the city of Kyritz and dissolved. Today, Berlitt and Rehfeld are both districts of the city of Kyritz, each with its own local advisory board and mayor. The local council of the Berlitt district consists of three members who elect the mayor from among their number.

Church history

From 1541 Berlitt was the mother church in the inspection Kyritz, from 1581 to 1800 with the daughter church Barenthin and from 1616 with the daughter church Rehfeld. In 1541 she had communicants (about 60 adults) when she was in shock. From 1558 to 1929 there were 14 pastors on the parish office. From 1541 the v. Königsmarck the Collatores (cartridge) in Berlitt, the last Count of Königsmark on Karnzow until 1945. From 1609 to 1766 the v. Wittstruck share in the patronage.

The church had a chalice, a pacem (blessing cross) and a copper viaticum . In addition, land belonged to the church for two bushels of sowing. In 1581 the church had apparently got more land, because two fields could be sown with eight bushels, the third field with four bushels. Every farmer had to drive a load of dung to the Kirchenland every year. The church also had some interest income from money loaned. This was entered in a church register.

From 1558 Frantz Schmetstorf was pastor. He lived in a parsonage with a garden behind the house and had two hooves to his yard, for which he received half (?) Of two wispels. In 1558 he tilled the two hooves himself. In the field he could sow about 20 bushels of rye and seven bushels of barley. The pastor's office also had a meadow on which an average of 5 loads of hay could be harvested. He received the same amount of wood as the other Berlitter residents. He was entitled to the grain tithe, which amounted to about three wispel grain, from 1581 also the flax tithe. He received a groschen (1558: one shilling) for ushering in a bride and a six-week-old woman and one shilling for a funeral. In 1588 he was also entitled to the four-time penny as well as four eggs from each hoof and the sausages for Christmas. Berlitt seems to have had no sexton in 1541 and 1558. For 1581 it is stated that the sexton lived in Kyritz. His salary was 10 bushels of rye and a quarter of rye from each hoof. He received two eggs from each house. At child baptisms and at weddings he received a meal, at a funeral half as much as the pastor, that is, half a shilling.

Until 1968, Berlitt was the mother church with its own parish in the inspection or superintendent of the Kyritz parish, until 1980 in the Kyritz-Wusterhausen parish. In 1981 the pastorate in Berlitt was canceled and the parish of Berlitt was merged with the parish of Barenthin. Today Berlitt belongs to the parish of Breddin-Barenthin in the parish of Kyritz-Wusterhausen.

Vorwerk Viebigswille

At the end of the 18th century the Chamber Court transferred the administration of insolvent property to the Altmärkisch-Prignitz Chamber of Deputation. She leased the goods for a fixed lease in order to settle debts. For example, the manor in Berlitt was leased to the local mayor Johann Viebig. In 1802 he laid out the Viebigswille suburb in the southeastern part of the Berlitt district. In the topography of the lower courts of the Kurmark Brandenburg from 1838 it was called Lehnschulzengut. In the further history of the village of Berlitt it did not belong to the municipality, but to the manor district of Berlitt, which was only united with the municipality in 1928. In the local registers of the Potsdam administrative district from 1817 and 1841 it was referred to as an establishment . The size of the property was given in 1819 as two hooves. In 1860 the estate consisted of two residential buildings and two farm buildings. The Vorwerk existed until before the Second World War. The further fate could not be determined.

Monuments and sights

The list of monuments of the state of Brandenburg gives two ground monuments and three architectural monuments for the district of Ostprignitz-Ruppin.

Berlitt village church (east side)

Soil monuments

The two listed soil monuments are:

  • No.100023 Corridor 1: a settlement of prehistory, the village core of the modern age, a settlement of the Iron Age, a settlement of the Slavic Middle Ages, the village core of the German Middle Ages, a settlement of the Roman Empire
  • No.100024 Corridor 1, 4, 5: a burial ground from the Roman Empire

Architectural monuments

Three properties are listed in Berlitt.

  • No. 09170984 Park (by the sports field)
  • Nr.09170518 Berlitter Dorfstrasse: village church. The small rectangular hall building made of field stones with brick edges and brick gables was built in 1526. In 1710 it was extended to the west in brick framework. Inside there is a pulpit altar from the 2nd half of the 18th century and the parish and patronage stalls from the 17th century.
  • Nr.09171102 Berlitter Dorfstraße 27 Residential house with farm building, courtyard paving and fencing

The Berlitter Manor House (Berlitter Dorfstrasse 41) is also worth seeing, but is not a registered monument. The core of it probably dates back to the 17th century. In 1822 it was fundamentally rebuilt. In 1848 it was rebuilt in the classical style.

Königsfließ nature reserve

The Königsfließ nature reserve was created to protect a valley deepened into the Kyritzer Platte. Here there are flat bog soils with wet meadows, pastures and forests as well as heavily silted up former peat cuttings over an extension of six kilometers. Some of the former peat cuttings are also used as fish ponds. Only a small part of it is in the Berlitt district, otherwise in the Demerthin, Rehfeld, Mechow and Kyritz districts.
