Dahlen is part of the municipality of Gräben in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district in Brandenburg .

Geographical location

Dahlen is south of the community center. The forest area of ​​Werbiger Heide lies to the northwest. This is followed clockwise by the eponymous district of Werbig ( near Bad Belzig ), followed by Benken (district of Wiesenburg / Mark ) and the community of Görzke . Most of the district is wooded; only in the southwest there are some areas that are used for agriculture. The Verlorenwasser , a tributary of the Buckau, flows along the northeastern border .

history

Dahlen was first mentioned in a feudal register of Elector Joachim I in 1515. The place was described as desolate : “Friderich Schirstet , zu Görtz, resident, has bought a desolate village estate, called Dalum, with the permission of Fridrich Brant, left by Brant, and is Friedeerichen Schirstet and he inherited his human body as manlehen ". Friedrich von Schierstedt, who acquired the deserted village of Frederick Brant, presumably was initially a Vorwerk build and 2,000 morning equip the country. However, he did not manage this himself, but leased the property. This probably changed in the second half of the 17th century when the von Schierstaedt family had the village church built.

From 1837 she exercised her right of residence in Dahlen with Hermann and Fatime von Schierstädt and moved to the village. In the years 1846 to 1855, with her initiative, a mansion with a nine-hectare English landscape garden was built . This was continuously expanded until the second half of the 19th century. The architect of the manor is not known, but is said to have been a student of Karl Friedrich Schinkel . The master mason Lunitz from Brandenburg an der Havel took over the execution .

In April 1882 Theodor Fontane was Hermann von Schierstädt's guest in the Dahlen manor house.

On September 30, 1928, the Dahlen manor was dissolved and part of the community of Gräben. The arable and forest areas were expropriated without compensation in 1945 and distributed to new farmers as part of the land reform in Germany . The manor house with park, which was also expropriated, has been used as a retirement home since 1952 . After the park was protected as a garden monument in 1950, landscape gardeners laid out a dendrological-historical circular path through the complex. In 1979 an extension was added to the castle. Its outbuildings and stables have served as apartments for the adjoining old people's home since 2000.

Culture and sights

Dahlen village church
  • The village church in Dahlen was probably built in the second half of the 17th century. Inside there is a wooden altarpiece from the first half of the 18th century and a baptismal angel from 1719, which the Dehio manual describes as "of special quality".
  • The manor house and manor park of the von Schierstedt family date from 1846/1855. In 1999 a support association was founded which, together with the nature park administration, had the nine-hectare park with 34 tree species redesigned to be barrier-free. Behind the nursery, Skudden ensure that a meadow orchard is cultivated close to nature.
  • Outside the manor park - originally in a line of sight to the manor house - is the Schierstaedt's hereditary burial. Hermann and Fatime von Schierstaedt, born von Zychlinska and other Schierstaedt family members as well as relatives from the families Krosigk , Maltzahn , Rauch , Rochow and Stegmann and Stein are buried there.
