Etymology and history

Elsholz was first mentioned in a document in 1337. The land book of Charles IV recorded the place in 1375 as Eslholt = (village on) alder forest, wood , from Middle Low German else = alder . However, broken fragments from the time of the Slavs and Germanic peoples point to a much earlier settlement. In the 19th century, the place was connected to the railway line to Jüterbog - the connection still exists today.

Until it was incorporated into Beelitz on December 31, 2001, Elsholz was an independent municipality that belonged to the district of Zauch-Belzig in the 19th and 20th centuries until it was dissolved .
