The total usable area of ​​Cammer is 954.6 hectares. This is divided into 522.68 hectares of arable land, 423 hectares of meadows and around 9 hectares of garden land. The former manor Cammer had a total area of ​​1200 hectares, including Oberjünne , which is now part of the municipality of Planebruch. The river Plane forms the southern border of the village . According to the surveying office of the Potsdam-Mittelmark district, the geographical center of the district is at the Forsthaus Tornow , which is in the Cammer district.

history

The first documentary mention of Cammer is probably the mention of a brewer named Katharina de Camere in the “Schöppenbuch der Stadt Treuenbrietzen”, who bequeathed all goods to her daughter of the same name when she died in 1333. The personal name de Camere is very likely a name of origin. It can be assumed that it is this Cammer. Reinhard E. Fischer adopts a transferred place name, most likely from Ter Kameren, La Cambre , a Cistercian convent in the municipality of Ixelles / Elsene in the Brussels Capital Region ( Belgium ). Ter Kameren was first mentioned in a document in 1208. A possible intermediate station of the transmission was perhaps Kamern in the district of Stendal (first mentioned: 1354). The etymology of the starting point Ter Kameren belongs to the Central Dutch "Kamer f.", Which, among other things, had the meaning "hut, small house". The feminine gender of the name matches that of the Dutch place of origin. If this explanation is correct, Cammer should actually speak of “the Cammer” in the female form.

prehistory

However, there was certainly a settlement here over 2,000 years ago. Time and again urn grave fields have been found around Cammer. Both the farmers and the forest workers found individual urns, objects such as flints and implements made from bones. In 1926, 1961, 1965 and 1966 there were extensive excavations at and in Cammer. The cemetery was used for the period between 100 years BC. And dated 150 years AD.

Ownership history

Manor Cammer around 1860, Alexander Duncker collection

The village was probably created around 1200 in the course of the state development of the Zauche. In 1375 the manor Cammer belonged to the Wichard von Rochow auf Golzow . In 1578 the manor Cammer came to the von Arnim family . In 1579 a knight seat in Cammer is mentioned. This was located at the former castle site. In 1609 the Lords of Broesigke bought the knight's seat, which they owned until 1945. Albert von Broesigke (1797–1867) built the stately new building there in 1829 after the old manor house with all its farm buildings had been destroyed in a fire. The mansion was demolished from 1949 to 1950. The park still covers 12 hectares and has an extensive population of old trees with numerous ponds and islands. The forest and garden shed, the ice cellar and the horse stable as well as the burial mound where Heino von Broesigke was buried in 1996 as the last of his family have been preserved.

Until 1815 Cammer was a border town. The border between Saxony and Brandenburg ran along the tarpaulin. Three landmarked border stones still remind of this.
