About this picture

Bestensee is a municipality in the district of Dahme-Spreewald in the state of Brandenburg in the Federal Republic of Germany .

geography

The municipality of Bestensee - located about 35 kilometers south of Berlin city ​​center - extends from Königs Wusterhausen in the north to the Amt Schenkenländchen in the south. In the east, the municipality of Bestensee borders on the municipality of Heidesee and in the west on the city of Mittenwalde . The municipality covers an area of ​​3748  hectares .

There are 11 lakes within the municipality. These are: Kleiner (Freudenthaler) Tonsee, Großer (Cameroon) Tonsee, Pätzer Tonsee , which arose from clay pits in which clay was extracted for brick production until the 1920s. The three gravel ponds in the west of the municipality were also created in the 1920s by natural groundwater flooding after gravel mining stopped. Todnitzsee , Seechen, Klein Bestener See and Bauernsee as well as Pätzer Vordersee and Hintersee formed after the last ice age.

The Glunz Graben ( Glunze ), which flows 1.2 kilometers in length through an alluvial forest area, connects Pätzer Vorderesee and Todnitzsee.

The highest elevation within the municipality is the Kahlkopf on the east bank of the Pätzer Hintersee with around 77 meters above sea ​​level .

Community structure

According to its main statute, the area of ​​the municipality consists of Bestensee and the district of Pätz .

In addition, there are the inhabited parts of the municipality Glunzbusch, Groß Beste, Hintersiedlung, Klein Beste and Vordersiedlung as well as the residential areas Expansion, Liepe, Marienhof and New Cameroon.

History and etymology

The place and its name can be traced back to the Slavic settlement "Bestwin", which is interpreted as "good elder". Even in the 21st century, elderberry bushes shape the banks of the Klein Bestener See.

Early to the 15th century

During excavations in the Pätzer clay pit in the 1920s, archaeologists found some hand stones and hand axes from the Stone Age . These finds are proof that the region around Bestensee was settled over 9000 years ago. Similarly, a could molar tooth of a mammoth recovered. Experts suspect that the rounded shape of the village center of Klein Beste is an indication of the existence of a Slavic rampart that is said to have existed there over 1,600 years ago. During excavations in 2005 and 2008, they found the remains of houses, settlement pits, as well as burns and post holes. The village of Groß Beste was built around 1280; the existing Slavic settlement Bestwin was renamed Klein Beste . In the 14th century, the residents began building the village church of Bestensee , which was inaugurated in 1375 . The first documentary mention of Bestensee in the land book of Charles IV comes from this year . At that time, a Sigfried von Slyven owned an estate with six free hooves in Groß Beste , which later developed into a manor. He probably sold it around 1417 to the knightly family of those Schenken von Landsberg and Seyda , who formed the Schenkenländchen in the 14th century by buying more settlements . The taverns resided in Teupitz Castle , but their influence could also be felt in Bestensee. So the manor was subordinated to the taverns; For the use of the larger lakes, the residents of Bestensee had to pay taxes to the taverns. A post mill , the Rudolfsmühle , northwest of Groß Beste , is also from this time .

16th and 17th centuries

After the introduction of the Reformation , there was a dispute between the parish in Schenkendorf and Groß Beste in 1543 . Schenkendorf became a parish church and the church in Groß Beste became a branch church . In the Thirty Years' War also Bestensee was severely affected. Swedish troops marched through the district , looting and murdering . Then the plague killed many of the remaining inhabitants. From 1624, 13 farmers, a shepherd and a blacksmith have survived for the great best - in 1652 there were only eight hoppers and two kötter . The situation was similar in Klein Beste. The population grew only slowly in the decades that followed. The manor was acquired by a theologian Müller after the Landsberg taverns got into financial hardship and had to sell their lands. But he also sold the place again, which indicated that the land did not make much profit. The new ruler was Johann Friedrich Freiherr von Löben , who in 1657 acquired other places in addition to large and small bests for 18,000 Reichstaler . The economic situation of the inhabitants improved and the Rudolfsmühle was able to grind enough grain again in the second half of the 17th century. It existed until 1902.

18th and 19th centuries

Former village school ("Red School") in Groß Beste

In 1701, with the founding of Prussia , the region came to Friedrich Wilhelm I ; In 1717 he bought from Curt Hildebrand Freiherr von Löben for 56,000 thalers large and small Beste, Krummensee, Pätz and Körbiskrug. From then on, the farmers from these places were used as drivers for hunts and transported the hunted animals to the hunting lodge in Königs Wusterhausen . They also had to do manual and clamping services for three days a week . Many farmers could not bear this burden and impoverished. In addition, there were famines due to storms or other natural events. These included, for example, a winter with extremely low temperatures in 1739/1740 or several animal epidemics in the years 1750 to 1798. Frederick II also advocated promoting wine-growing.

During the Seven Years' War , the residents of both big and small had to serve as rural cantonists . In 1757 Austro-Hungarian troops quartered in the area, which had to be fed by the inhabitants; In 1760 it was a Russian army corps. Further billeting took place in 1806 when French troops invaded Prussia. In 1812 Bavarian and Württemberg troops marched through the region. Again the population was drawn into the military during the Wars of Liberation . In 1888 a volunteer fire brigade was founded. In 1891 Groß Beste received a connection to the district's road network. Five years later, craftsmen built a dam and built a road connection between the big and the small. The region experienced an economic boom after the mining of natural resources began in several places. In 1892 the parish opened a new cemetery in Klein Beste. A year later, the funerals ended around the church in Groß Beste. A new cemetery was also built here at the western end of the district.

Around 1900 clay was quarried on a large scale, baked in brickworks and delivered to Berlin as a building material, especially on the Berlin – Görlitz railway line . The population grew to 494 people who lived in 110 households. At that time there was a connection called the clay railway north of the Bestenseer train station , with which the building material was transported away. In 1878 the train station in Groß Beste was created. In the vicinity of Gräbendorf there were more clay pits and brickworks with another embankment, which also ended in this main connection. Its remains are recognizable in the 21st century as a forest path from the federal road 179 towards Gräbendorf.

20th century

In 1919 the football club Groß Beste was founded, followed by a fishing club, a men's choir, a settlers and garden owners association and a house owners association. There was also a gymnastics club and a theater club. The population rose to 1266 people in 184 houses in 1925. Among them were also many Berliners who settled in Big Best and Small Best from 1920 or bought an additional weekend house there. This is how the Pätzer Vorderesee settlement, the Pätzer Hintersee settlement and the Glunsbusch settlement in Groß Beste came into being. Further settlements emerged on the shores of Lake Todnitz and the surrounding area. This was accompanied by an increasing number of restaurants, some of which also offered overnight accommodation.

After the First World War there was a school in Groß Beste on the village square with three classrooms and another school building next to the church with two classrooms and an apartment for the teacher. Children of wealthy parents attended the Friedrich Wilhelm High School in Königs Wusterhausen. In addition to the educational institutions, numerous craftsmen settled in the village, including a blacksmith, a locksmith's shop, a construction company as well as a carpentry and a workshop that offered bicycle repairs. At the end of the 1920s, the residents were cared for by two medical practices. In 1939 there were two agricultural and forestry businesses in Bestensee that cultivated more than 100 hectares. In addition, there were 17 farms that cultivated 20 to 100 hectares, 12 farms with 10 to 20 hectares, 17 farms with 5 to 10 hectares and 76 small businesses that had 0.5 to 5 hectares of land available.

During the time of National Socialism , the parties in Bestensee were dissolved or banned. Among other things, a Nazi kindergarten, the Deutsche Jungvolk , the Hitler Youth , the Bund Deutscher Mädel and the Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD) were founded. The rifle house built by the war club came under the control of National Socialism ; The NSDAP party comrade Hackbarth became mayor . Under his leadership, units of the RAD were used to build a drainage ditch, road construction and cultural work. By decree of the President of the Province of Brandenburg on January 7, 1938, the municipality of Klein Beste was incorporated into the municipality of Groß Beste on April 1, 1938. First of all, the newly formed community should be called Groß Beste. However, the name Bestensee was determined for the newly formed community. The November pogroms of 1938 also reached Bestensee, but the Jewish owner of the Marcuse pharmacy had fled in time. The main street was renamed Adolf-Hitler-Strasse ; Communists and Social Democrats were under special scrutiny. After clay mining was gradually stopped from 1941 for economic reasons, the holes filled up and the clay lakes were created. The Schutzstaffel took over the brick factory around Pätz and set up a base there. Nevertheless, the community was largely spared from bombing. Chroniclers only report a few presumably untargeted impacts in the forest area west of the Glunsgraben. Towards the end of the war, a Volkssturm was set up in Bestensee . In March 1945 it was supposed to erect tank barriers made of tree trunks at the exits from the town. Homeowners took in people who had fled from the eastern parts of the German Reich . On April 20, 1945 soldiers of the Wehrmacht destroyed the iron bridge on Todnitzsee. But even this could not stop the advance of the Red Army , which reached the place on April 26, 1945. The Wilhelm-Franke-Brücke should also be destroyed. This could be prevented by the courageous intervention of a citizen of Bestenseer, who cut the explosive cables.

After the end of the Second World War, both school buildings were temporarily used for the care of wounded soldiers, but were available again for school lessons from June. Likewise, on June 16, 1945, the first cultural event under the motto Ins new life took place in a pub; a women's committee supported the population in rebuilding. On March 7, 1946, the Free German Youth was founded in the village ; a month later, on April 21, the KPD merged with the SPD to form the SED . The Marienhof estate was already a state estate, so there was no real land reform in Bestensee . Rather, the property was declared a state- owned property . New farmers were given land for agricultural use that was created through deforestation on Mariendorfer Berg. 307 hectares were expropriated, of which 236 hectares were allocated to new farmers. This resulted in 201 businesses that together managed just 37 hectares. Another 16 farms had one to five hectares available (47 hectares in total). Two holdings had five to 10 hectares (together 16 hectares) and four holdings 10 to 15 hectares (together 48 hectares). Only one farm managed 53 hectares. This small division led to the fact that the new farmers merged with the remaining farmers in 1953 to form a type III LPG . The sawmill in Bestensee became a state- owned company with 99 employees in 1956 . There was also a production cooperative of working fishermen with 11 members. They caught fish in the waters of Bestensee and bred carp and sturgeon in the Pätzer Vorderee . In addition, were Marder bred and ducks mast operated. Little by little, the situation of the residents improved. A machine rental station was set up on the site of the former brickworks in Pätz , which was equipped with tractors from Soviet production. Two remaining private companies that manufactured fishing nets merged to form a handicraft production cooperative, PGH Netzbau . The rail connection, however, was affected by reparations , as a track had to be dismantled on the Berlin – Görlitz railway line. Nevertheless, the place was further built. A cinema opened on the main street, which was now called Stalinallee; a library on Waldstrasse. There was also a consumer restaurant on Zeesener Strasse with a sales point for newspapers. In 1946 the soccer club SG Union Bestensee resumed playing, as did the gymnastics club.

Numerous new building projects arose in the years to come. In addition to the MAS, buildings were built that were initially occupied by the FDJ and later by the GDR border troops . In 1960 a type III LPG was established with 54 members who farmed 366 hectares of agricultural land. A Type I LPG merged with a Type III LPG in 1969. Both were combined with the LPG in Motzen in 1972. 1973 founded the VEG Marienhof, a state forestry enterprise, the head forestry company Bestensee and a furniture combine. A PGH auto mechanics, a photography trade, a network construction and a pipe weaving mill were created.

From 1961 to 1990 the command of the border troops of the GDR was in the district of Pätz. Its relatives moved into apartments in the Rudi-Arnstadt-Siedlung, built in the 1960s, and in Friedensstrasse. In 1951 a rural outpatient clinic opened in the former doctor’s practice ; an inn was converted into a community nurse's station. Around the same time, the municipal administration moved into the former school building on the Kastanie. The students then moved to an old local government barracks at the rural outpatient clinic. This provisional arrangement was completed with the inauguration of a new building, the ten-class, polytechnic Rudi-Arnstadt -Oberschule on September 1, 1969. The cultural life was enriched by the male choir and a school amateur play group. There was also an extensive club system. The allotment gardeners and small animal breeders organized the rose tree festivals in town. The DFD was like the People's Solidarity also active. In 1987 the community built another new school building north of Waldstrasse, which was occupied by students from Bestensee and Pätz. In 1989 the station building was modernized and a second track was put back into operation on the now electrified line.

After the fall of the Wall , the municipal council decided on May 28, 1990 to govern their future local authority. The first mayor was Gerd Kruligk on June 28, 1990 . On July 27, 1990, the municipality decided to take over residential blocks in Friedensstrasse as municipal property and the municipality of Bestensee to join the Association of Towns and Municipalities of the State of Brandenburg. However, the turnaround also had an impact on associations. With the loss of the army sports association Vorwärts , a new club had to be founded. With effect from July 30, 1991, the SV Grün / Weiß Union Bestensee eV was founded with around 100 members at the time. A few months later, the men's choir was registered as a registered association on October 14, 1991. In the same year the municipality published the monthly gazette Bestwiner for the first time . On February 1, 1992, the Bestenseer Association for the Promotion of Children and Young People was founded . In the same year, the children's village and the shopping center on Zeesener Strasse were opened. In addition to the construction activities, old traditions gradually revived. In 1993 an Easter fire was lit again for the first time, and in 1994 zamping was introduced. In 1995 the municipality had a new flag approved; the shooting club celebrated its 100th anniversary. In 1996, the municipal council decided on a concept to promote tourism and joined the tourism association Dahmeland eV in Königs Wusterhausen. Furthermore, an urban development model was adopted and the expansion of Zeesener Strasse was completed. In 1997 the complete renovation of the comprehensive school began as well as an expansion of the specialist rooms for around 8 million DM. During further construction work, the Wilhelm-Franke-Brücke was built over the Glunzgraben; socially subsidized apartments were built in the desert. In June, work began on the shopping center on Motzener Strasse and the marketing of building plots in the Luchfeld residential area. In 1998 the community was able to move into the new town hall in Eichhornstrasse; the mall opened. On August 15, 1998, the volunteer fire brigade celebrated its 100th anniversary with the inauguration of a new fire brigade depot in Eichhornstrasse. In 1999 the Vereinsring, an organization for the improvement of the club system in Bestensee, celebrated a village festival for the first time on the fairground at the Sutschketal.

21st century

In 2001 the local infrastructure improved again when a petrol station was opened opposite the shopping center on Motzener Strasse / Hauptstrasse after a controversial discussion about the location. At the same time, the range of clubs was expanded with the establishment of the MSC Bestensee motorsport club , initially with 18 active members, and an expansion of the VSG 1990 Bestensee to include the Mounted Games group . But the other clubs also expanded their activities. Under the direction of the Dahmeland 73 fishing club , the Glunsgraben was cleaned; In addition, there was an environment day at which school children in and around Bestensee collected rubbish. On April 11, 2001, outdoor lighting in the village church was put into operation. The installation was the occasion for a photo competition in the Bestenseer Dorfkirche at night . In the same month a first friendship visit took place in the new partner church Gmina Przemęt in Poland . Starting in May, the care of people in need was improved by opening a social station in the shopping center on Zeesener Straße. The infrastructure was further expanded by expanding the cemetery hall and expanding the paths. Craftsmen re-covered the roof of the elementary school and expanded the sidewalk in the main street. At the same time, the community tried to rehabilitate 2.5 km of the approximately 40 km long sand roads with a layer of cement .

In 2002, exploratory talks with the new Polish partner community led to the conclusion of a partnership agreement and the establishment of a circle of friends, which is intended to intensify cooperation. In 2002, on the occasion of the 3rd village festival, a community calendar was published for the first time, which was quickly sold out. On November 11th, the foundation stone was laid for a new senior citizen center on Hauptstrasse. On October 26, 2003, the municipality of Pätz was incorporated into Bestensee. In 2010 the Bestenseer Weinbauverein eV was founded, which has been reviving the tradition of viticulture on the 34-meter-high Mühlenberg ever since.

Administrative history

Bestensee and its current district of Pätz belonged to the Teltow district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg since 1817 and to the Königs Wusterhausen district in the GDR district of Potsdam from 1952 . The community has been in the Dahme-Spreewald district in Brandenburg since 1993.

In Bestensee there are parishes of Protestant, Catholic and New Apostolic denominations. In the district of Groß Beste there is an evangelical stone church and old cemetery. Today's Groß Bestener Friedhof is located about one kilometer west of it. Another cemetery, laid out in 1892, is located in the Klein Beste district. In the district of Pätz there is a chapel with a cemetery. This was given to the Protestant Church in 1955 by a Berlin family who left the hereditary burial of their family, to which the chapel belonged, to the parish of Pätz. With the help of monetary and material donations from the local residents, the building was rebuilt from 1955 to 1957 and a bell tower was erected.
