geography
location
The municipality of Chorin is located in the northeast of the Barnim district, north and northeast of the district town of Eberswalde and north of the Oder-Havel Canal. It is located on the high plateau of the terminal moraine of the Eberswalder glacial valley .
Expansion of the municipal area
Chorin extends from Britz in the west to the south bank of the Parsteinsee in the east and from the Oder-Havel Canal in the south to Serwest in the north. The (large) community of Chorin was created in 1998 through the merger of the previously independent communities of Chorin, Golzow, Neuehütte, Sandkrug and Senftenhütte. 2001 Brodowin and Serwest were incorporated into Chorin.
Neighboring cities and towns
Nearby cities include Eberswalde in the south, Joachimsthal in the west and Angermünde in the north. There are no other large towns near Chorin, when the monastery was founded the Cistercian monks made sure to be as far away as possible from the nearest towns.
Community structure
The municipality of Chorin consists of the seven districts Brodowin, Chorin, Golzow, Neuehütte , Sandkrug , Senftenhütte and Serwest.
There are also the living spaces Amt Chorin, Buchholz, Kloster Chorin, Mönchsbrück, Parsteinwerder, Pehlitz, Polenzwerder, Ragöser Mühle, Schönhof, Senftenthal, Theerofen, Weißensee and Zaun.
history
The current districts of the municipality belonged to the Oberbarnim district in the province of Brandenburg since 1817 and to the Angermünde district in the GDR district of Frankfurt (Oder) from 1952 . The villages have been in the Brandenburg district of Barnim since 1993.
Today's municipality of Chorin was created on September 27, 1998 from the merger of the former municipality of Chorin with the municipalities of Golzow , Neuehütte , Sandkrug and Senftenhütte . The communities Brodowin and Serwest were incorporated on December 31, 2001.
Brodowin
About 400 people live in Brodowin; contrary to the trend, the place has grown by around ten percent since the fall of the Wall in 1990. The district of the village borders on the west bank of the Parsteiner See , on which most of the operating areas are located. The most important vantage point in the Brodowin landscape is the Kleine Rummelsberg , which is under nature protection with its rare dry grassland . In the village of Brodowin is the Demeter company, Ökodorf Brodowin, founded by Werner Upmeier , with over 1,200 hectares of agricultural land.
Chorin
Chorin is on Landesstraße 200 between Eberswalde and Angermünde. While the Chorin Monastery named after the place is located directly on the state road, the village of Chorin is grouped further west on the Berlin-Stettin railway line. The old Chorin train station was opened in 1856 and is located well north of the village. No passenger trains have stopped there since 1995. The Chorin stop (formerly Chorin monastery), which was opened in 1902, is still used for passenger traffic.
Golzow
The Ragöse (also Ragöser Fließ ) rises in the village of Golzow, flows through the districts of Sandkrug (Ragöser Mühle) and Neuehütte and flows into the Finow Canal in the Eberswalde urban area after a distance of around ten kilometers . Golzow was first mentioned in a document in 1258. The listed church in the town center was built in the 13th century , almost completely destroyed during the Thirty Years War and rebuilt in 1671. The 50 meter high tower was built in 1897 during a church renovation. Inside the church is richly decorated and ornately painted.
Neuehütte
Sand jar
The street village is located on the old trade and military route from Berlin to Stettin. It was built in 1754 as the “Neuer Amtskrug” by bailiff Georg Ludwig Gans (1736–1763). In 1775 and 1777, under bailiff Philipp Heinrich Karbe (1772–1799), ten Büdner families, each with an acre of field, were assigned . From 1860 the place is called the colony of the monastery. From 1919 to 1998 Sandkrug was an independent municipality. The much older district of Ragöser Mühle was incorporated in 1928. A mill belonging to Alexander in Ragösen (molendinum Rogosene quod fuit Alexandri) appears as a margravial property in the deed of foundation of the Mariensee Monastery. It is not known whether this mill was topographically and content-wise identical to the Ragöser mill. In 1996 the municipality received a coat of arms and a flag. The “speaking coat of arms” shows a jug and a mill wheel in the colors black and gold in a shield that is divided lengthways. Today Sandkrug has about 350 inhabitants.
Senftenhütte
The first written mention of the place comes from 1784. However, the date of foundation is January 1, 1706, when the first lease agreement for the area was concluded. The name of the place is derived from Johann Georg Senf . In 1718 he took over a glassworks on the property, which was built in 1705 by the Berlin businessman Christian Puhlmann. The place has a church in which there is a baptismal font of the blacksmith Karl Kirchner .
Serwest
Serwest is a village on Landesstraße 200 between Chorin and Angermünde. It was first mentioned in 1258 as Seruetiz as a village in the border area of the Mariensee (Chorin) monastery. In Serwest, VEB Elektro-Apparate-Werke Berlin-Treptow "Friedrich Ebert" built and operated a company holiday camp for the children of its employees.
- Buchholz is a residential area of Serwest, which was mentioned for the first time in 1258 as an independent place Buccolt in the deed of foundation of the monastery Chorin. The name comes from Middle Low German and means settlement on the beech forest . At the beginning of the Thirty Years War there was a sheep farm with 1,200 animals in the village . After the end of the war, the place was deserted for a long time. In 1860 the operation of a potato distillery began which was operated with a steam engine . It was incorporated into Serwest in 1929.
