Community structure

According to its main statute, the municipality of Brieselang, which is not an official entity, is divided into the districts in addition to the core town

• Bredow
• Zeestow

as well as the residential areas Alt Brieselang, Bredow-Luch, Bredow-Vorwerk and Glien.

Today's (large) community emerged from the Brieselang Office, which existed from 1992 to 2003, through the incorporation of the smaller member communities into the Brieselang community.

history

In November 2005, several human burials were discovered in the course of the planned expansion of the B 5 between Wustermark and Nauen at the Bredow 24 site. Eleven graves and some scattered bones were found. Ceramic finds made it possible to date the cemetery to the Middle Slavic period (late 10th to mid 11th century). The temple rings added to several graves point to the late 11th to the 1st half of the 12th century. The remains of 15 people, seven women and eight men, were examined by the anthropologist Bettina Jungklaus . Most of them were elderly. Only one teenager and one young adult woman were found. The men were on average 169.5 cm tall, while the females were only 154.9 cm. The deceased were burdened by various diseases, mainly of the teeth and joints. There were signs that serious illnesses were also survived.

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1315 under the Slavic name “Brisenlank” (“Birken lanke ”) as an upstream fortification of the Vehlefanz office. In 1315 the city of Nauen was awarded the logging justice “inter paludes seu mericas dictas Zuzen et Brisenlank super totum Glyn usque ad terram Bellin” from Margrave Woldemar (see also: The Zootzen ).

The district Bredow was mentioned as early as 1208 in connection with a pastor Dietrich zu Bredow. In 1309, Margrave Woldemar awarded the village of Bredow to the Vogt Matthias von Bredow zu Rathenow for 206 marks of silver, except for six Hufen , which belonged to a Herr von Broesigke (Braseke).

Zeestow was first mentioned in 1346 as Zcesto . The name is derived from the personal name Tschest .

Only in 1925 was Brieselang founded as an independent rural community. Its name goes back to the name of the landscape, which Theodor Fontane also mentions in his travel stories. The small district of Alt-Brieselang will have given the name to the settlers, mostly from Berlin, who were looking for a place to stay in the green for their families fleeing the Berlin tenements in the then damp area with its oak forests . This settlement on relatively small parcels, which mostly originated from “urban refugees”, has led to the large rural community's extensive home structure to this day.

Administrative history

Bredow and Zeestow belonged to the Osthavelland district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg since 1817 (as did Brieselang from 1925) and from 1952 to the Nauen district in the GDR district of Potsdam . The community has been in the Havelland district in Brandenburg since 1993.

In the course of the formation of offices in Brandenburg, the Minister of the Interior of the State of Brandenburg gave his consent to the formation of the office in Brieselang on August 26, 1992. August 30, 1992 was determined as the date for the establishment of the office. The approval was initially limited to August 30, 1994. The seat of the office was the municipality of Brieselang. At the time the office was established, the following municipalities were assigned to what was then the Nauen district :

• Brieselang
• Bredow
• Zeestow

The time limit was lifted from July 28, 1994. With the municipal reform in Brandenburg in 2003 , the municipalities of Bredow and Zeestow were incorporated into the municipality of Brieselang on October 26, 2003. The office of Brieselang was dissolved and the municipality of Brieselang became vacant.
