history
Güterberg was first mentioned in a document in 1608 as Guetterberch . In 1698 a church was built on another piece of land, but not much is known about its whereabouts. At that time the place was owned by the von Arnim and von Winterfeld families . Ernst Fidicin writes that Hans Christoph von Arnim and Hans Ernst von Winterfeld gave Elector Friedrich III. asked for permission to build a church that year. The church patronage lay with the manor of Güterberg. In 1776 Vivellence Alexander Christian inherited the Winterfeld shares and sold them in the same year to Joachim von Arnim, who now owned the entire village. His family had a new church built from 1840 to 1842 on the northeastern edge of the settlement.
