history

14th to 19th century

Carzig was first mentioned in 1324 as Kartzk . The name could be derived from the Slavic karta , which means something like tree washed away by the water . Archaeological finds of the so-called Göritz culture show traces of settlement far earlier. In 1394 there must have already been a village church , because the parish church's jurisdiction changed to a branch church in Niederjesar . However, this was short-lived, as Carzig was again the mother church in 1405. The alley village had been shaped by agriculture for centuries. The existence of a water mill has been handed down from 1427. In 1600 Carzig became a branch church again, this time belonging to Podelzig . In 1805 Carzig appeared as an aristocratic estate and colony with nine köttern , two residents, a forge and a "distant" water mill. There were 88 people in the village who operated 15 fire pits and 10 Hufen farmed land. In the middle of the 19th century, the church patronage was with Eugen von Burgsdorff . At his behest, craftsmen built a new church in neo-Gothic form on a previous building . At that time, 159 people lived in the village in 1864. There was a modest economic upswing, which was promoted by the connection to the Eberswalde – Frankfurt (Oder) railway . In 1871 Karzig appeared as a domain office in the register of the Royal Statistical Bureau and had 32 households and 174 residents.

20th to 21st century

In 1904 archaeologists found numerous silver objects that they could date to 1621. Some of the finds can be seen in 2019 in the Gustav Seitz Museum in Müncheberg . In 1930 the manor was dissolved with 1444 acres of land and taken over by a large farmer and numerous small farmers. During the Second World War Carzig was badly affected by the battle for the Seelower Heights . The place was evacuated and the church was probably blown up by German soldiers. The local mayor, in coordination with the SMAD, released the rubble for the reconstruction of damaged houses and the sacred building became a ruin . The lands of the former manor were distributed to resettlers and new farmers as part of the land reform in Germany in 1946. Mallnow has been pastoral care of the place since 1953 . After the fall of the Wall , the number of inhabitants fell and reached its temporary low on May 31, 1994 with 64 inhabitants. A few days earlier, on May 28, 1994, the railway line ceased operations.

On October 26, 2003, the municipality of Fichtenhöhe was created through the voluntary amalgamation of the previously independent municipalities of Alt Mahlisch , Carzig and Niederjesar .
