history

Evidently since the 14th century a cart path connected a settlement on the Trebelsee of the Havel with the locality of Schmergow. It is also proven that in 1305 the Margrave Hermann sold the village of Smergow with a farm called Trebegotz to the north, presumably on the Trebelsee for 475 marks of Brandenburg silver to the Lehnin monastery . Trebegotz became desolate after the Thirty Years War , but the area was still used for agriculture. The fishermen used the path to the lake. At the end of the 19th century, with the discovery of larger clay deposits, the Schmergower farmers built their first brickworks on the banks of the Trebelsee. In 1886, the fortification of the path, called Die Steege , began. It was paved with the so-called false - fire bricks , which were not for sale due to poor quality. The bricks all came from the local brick factories that produced hand-painted bricks until the 1930s . In 2012, dirt, vegetation and deposits were removed from the brick paving and a new paved road was laid on the former sandy summer path next to it. Vehicles no longer have to drive into the historical part.

course

The Steege branches off from Schmergower Dorfstraße between house numbers 13 and 14 opposite the church to the north to Trebelsee. The road runs approximately in a north-south direction and runs as a dam through a moist meadow area. At an old oak (natural monument 584-01 style oak) it turns to the northwest and leads past the slopes of the Trebelberg to the lake. The brick covering is almost entirely preserved. A few older patches made of field stone can be seen. The predominantly yellow bricks are as running bond vertically arranged in the sand bed in straight parallel strips laid. In places, an edge strip was formed from three rows of runners at right angles to the roadway. A small part of the paving in the southern part has a herringbone pattern. The road is a little over a kilometer long. The expansion of this side street is likely to be related to its function as a connection between the village, the brickworks and the shipping of the bricks from the Kleiner Ablage at Trebelsee.
