history

Village idyll, signposts to Chorin and stork's nest

Brodowin is a typical elongated street green village that stretches over a length of almost two kilometers and ends as a dead end in a southerly direction . Archaeological finds in the vicinity of the village can be used to prove settlement up to the Bronze Age . Brodowin was first mentioned in a document in 1258 under the name Brodewin , the place name is of Slavic origin and describes a place near a swamp area . The settlement mentioned is probably a built-up location on the island of Gotteswerder , which lies in Lake Brodowin .

The first mention of Brodowin comes from a document from the Margrave of Brandenburg , in which he donated the village to the Lehnin monastery. The donation was linked to the condition that the monastery should build a new monastery on an island in Lake Parstein . The construction of the monastery at this point was canceled in 1273, instead the monastery was built a few kilometers further southwest near the village of Chorin, today it is the monastery of Chorin . Subsequently, Dutch and German farmers settled in what is now Brodowin . By no later than 1335 Brodowin belonged to the monastery Chorin, this was in 1542 secularized and Brodowin came the Elector of Brandenburg, in the possession Joachim II. For the year 1557 were in Brodowin Lehnschulze , ten full farmers and 17 small farmers recorded.

In the Thirty Years' War Brodowin was devastated . Due to the war and many victims of the plague , Brodowin had almost no residents at all after the end of the war. After that, Brodowin was temporarily not settled, from 1691 Huguenots settled in Brodowin and rebuilt the village. Brodowin burned down in 1848 and the village church was also destroyed in the fire. As a result, Brodowin received a new church from the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm IV . The church designed by Friedrich August Stüler was consecrated in 1853 . The many three-sided courtyards that characterize the townscape to this day also date from the same period .

In 1907, on the initiative of forester Max Kienitz, the Plagefenn nature reserve was set up south of Brodowin, making it the oldest nature reserve in Brandenburg. The name Plagefenn goes back to a submerged settlement called Plawe , which was first mentioned together with Brodowin. After the end of the Second World War , Brodowin was able to record a strong population increase, as refugees from the former German eastern areas sought refuge in Brodowin. During the land reform in the Soviet occupation zone , the manor land was divided among the local farmers. In 1955, following political pressure, the farmers of the village joined forces to form the Brodowin Agricultural Production Cooperative.
