Location of Busendorf in Brandenburg

Busendorf is a district of the Brandenburg town of Beelitz in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district .

The municipality, which was Saxon until 1815 , has belonged to the city of Beelitz since January 1, 2001 with the municipality parts Kanin and Klaistow . The 628 inhabitants of the district are spread over the local area Busendorf with 381, Kanin with 138 and Klaistow with 109 inhabitants.

Origin of the place name

The origin of the unusual place name has not been reliably proven.

According to an ecclesiastical version, the chapel of the Kanin parish was a prayer place of the Cistercian monastery Lehnin centuries ago , where monks could worship and repent in seclusion . The place of "penance" developed into today's name.

The location on a bosom (bay) of the now dried up lake, which existed at the site of today's Luchwiesen, is another explanation.

history

Village church in Kanin
Kanin, village church

Busendorf was first mentioned in a document in 1420. The districts of Kanin and Klaistow were added later. The typical Wendish round settlements formed the northernmost tip of the Electorate of Saxony as an exclave until the Wars of Liberation in 1815 and were almost completely surrounded by the Prussian land. That resulted in strange situations. While Kanin itself was part of Electoral Saxony, the Dorfkrug belonged to Prussia. Prussian deserters from the “First Guards Battalion on Foot” from Potsdam were able to get to safety in the Saxon villages, but in the Prussian village jug the deserters often fell into the trap of the hussars from Ferch . The gauntlet in Potsdam was waiting for them .

The area was also rewarding for the smugglers . “Coffee ground” was the name of a wood in which, during the time of King Friedrich I, there was brisk, illegal border traffic. The coveted and expensive coffee beans were illegally transported from liberal Saxony to strict Prussia.

The affiliation of the three villages to Saxony is no longer recognizable, only the name "Saxon villages" remains. Until the beginning of the 20th century, the area "Klaistower Heide" belonged to the south, which was settled as Fichtenwalde from 1908 . The predominant dialect was not influenced by Saxony. The Zauchisch-Teltowsche Platt of the whole area was colloquial.

On July 1, 1950, Kanin and Klaistow were incorporated into what was then the Busendorf community. Because of their small community size, the three villages had only one church and school in Kanin. The church was a branch of the mother church of Bliesendorf . The church was built in 1138 from field stones and is the oldest in the Mark Brandenburg . The restoration is supported by the " German Foundation for Monument Protection " in Bonn .

Coin find

In November 2015 came Mario Lippert, a voluntary soil conservationists, in a Busendorfer asparagus field with a metal detector to 70 ancient coins from silver . Shortly afterwards, he and a colleague found another 250 coins and ceramic shards. Subsequent explorations, in which the Brandenburg State Office for Monument Preservation was involved, yielded a total of 502 coins and 80 coin halves. In May 2016, Lippert found a good 100 coins and 17 halves in the vicinity of the core find. These are mostly denarii that were minted around 1250/1260 in Brandenburg an der Havel and in Stendal .

coat of arms

The three places are each symbolized in the coat of arms by an asparagus stick. The horizontally upwardly curved division of the coat of arms symbolizes an asparagus dam. The Saxon past is represented in the upper part of the town's coat of arms by the nine-fold horizontally divided black and gold field.

The coat of arms was designed by the heraldist Frank Diemar .

General

Busendorf is on the edge of an extensive asparagus area. The cultivation, processing and marketing of asparagus represent an important economic factor. There is an important asparagus farm in the area right on the outskirts. The asparagus and adventure farm near Klaistow is also increasingly becoming an attractive excursion destination, as the business-minded operators design the site very elaborately and expand it into a leisure center (game reserve, small animal and petting zoo, large children's playground, gastronomy, farm shop, seasonal events) and thus thousands of visitors attract. From here, around 250 kg of the precious vegetables were exported to Singapore every week in the 2008 season .
