Eichwerder is a village that belongs to the town of Wriezen in the Märkisch-Oderland district.

history

During road construction work on Landesstrasse 33 in July 2016 in the center of the street village, charcoal, bones and shards were found next to the old consumer. Archaeological excavations in 2016–2017 under the direction of Blandine Wittkopp unearthed more than 30,000 finds in 820 sites in four levels from different epochs. The skeleton of an approximately 1.10 m tall, 18-year-old man lay in a Neolithic funeral hut . Grave goods were stone arrowheads, a clay cup made of corded ceramics and a stone ax. Several jewelry finds suggest a higher social position of the original Eichwerderer. That could have something to do with the eleven ovens found. Some made ceramics, others melted metal. The discovery of salt ovens was surprising. Since there were no brine springs in the Oderbruch, it is assumed that the extremely valuable salt was obtained from plants at that time .

The margravial court , chamber and church councilor Karl Philipp Mentzel (born 1703 in Berlin; died 1752 in Berlin) acquired the district in 1748. With the purchase, Mentzel was obliged to settle 33 families here. In 1756 the houses for the colonists were ready, in 1767 there were 10 large colonists and 23 small colonists. During this time the district changed hands several times.

On March 17, 1780 August Crelle was born in Eichwerder as the son of a dike inspector. There is a memorial stone for him in the village.

In 1863 the school building was erected in place of an old building. The building also served as a prayer house at that time.

The Thöringswerder residential area was incorporated in 1856, the Jäckelsbruch residential area in 1928. Until 1952, Eichwerder belonged to the Oberbarnim district , then to the Freienwalde district.

In 1998 Eichwerder was incorporated into Wriezen.

Listed buildings

Eichwerder is still preserved in its original construction. Two houses in Eichwerder and the Jäckelsbruch manor are listed.

The Eichwerder 31 yard is the typical yard of a small colonist. A small colonist's yard typically had ten acres back then . The house, a gable - independent half-timbered building with a half-hip roof, was built in 1812 in place of a previous building. The associated stable was built in 1919.

The Eichwerder 32 house was also built in 1812. This house is also a half-timbered house with a crooked hip roof and it is gable. Inside was a black kitchen .
