Ernsthof (Oberbarnim)
Ernsthof is a residential area in the village of Grunow , a district of the municipality of Oberbarnim in the Brandenburg district of Märkisch-Oderland in the Märkische Schweiz nature park . The settlement has around 200 inhabitants.
Ernsthof originated in 1833 as an agricultural Vorwerk by Grunow and was particularly used for sheep farming and potato farming. The settlement took place from 1931. In the GDR period the Vorwerk was operated as an agricultural production cooperative (LPG). The Agrar Marketing GmbH, which emerged from the LPG and is based in Ernsthof, is today one of the largest employers in the area of the Märkische Schweiz office . The partly restored, partly crumbled field stone buildings of the former Vorwerk are part of the Oberbarnimer Feldsteinroute .
Location and transport links
Embedded in the undulating, hilly field and hedge landscape of the Ice Age-shaped Barnim plateau , the place is largely surrounded by open land . It is located in the northwest corner of the Märkische Schweiz Nature Park - the main scenic and tourist attractions in Märkische Schweiz , however, only begin around 3.5 kilometers south, in particular southwest of Ernsthof, so that the place remains largely untouched by nature park tourism.
Ernsthof is located about one kilometer west of Grunow directly on the federal highway 168 , which leads north via Tiefensee to Eberswalde and south via Fürstenwalde to Cottbus . In the west, the district borders on Klosterdorf and in the south on Bollersdorf , both of which are also Oberbarnimer districts. The Prötzel district of Prädikow joins in the north . Larger places nearby are Strausberg in the southwest and Buckow in the southeast. The bus Oderland (BMO) binds Ernsthof with the lines 929 and 937 Strausberg↔Buckow Strausberg↔Neuhardenberg to the public transport on. In addition, Ernsthof can be reached on both weekend and public holidays with the Märkische Schweiz A930 excursion line from the Strausberg or Seelow train stations .
history
Founded in 1833 and named
Arnold Freiherr von Eckardstein (* March 20, 1782 Hann. Münden ; † August 8, 1856) had the Vorwerk built in 1833. He gave the Ernsthof its name after his father and / or first-born son (1824–1899), both of whom were first named Ernst. The Potsdam Official Gazette reported in 1833:
"The name Ernsthof was added to the new outworks built by Baron von Eckardstein on Prötzel, in the middle of the new road leading from Tiefensee to Müncheberg ."
Arnold's father, Baron Ernst Jacob Freiherr von Eckardstein (born April 26, 1742 Hann. Münden ; † June 3, 1803 Berlin ), had gone to Berlin as chamberlain in 1799 and was taken over by Friedrich Wilhelm III on October 11, 1799 . been raised to the nobility . Around 1800 Ernst Jakob invested 810,000 Reichstaler in the purchase and expansion of various goods on the Barnim, including Prötzel with the Prötzel , Prädikow , Grunow and Reichenow Castle . The agricultural reformer and founder of agricultural science Albrecht Daniel Thaer founded the Agricultural Academy Möglin in 1806 on the Möglin manor, which is located next door to Reichenow .
Agriculture
Inspired by Thaer, with whom he was friends, Ernst Jakob Freiherr von Eckardstein introduced modern forms of agricultural production on his estates for the time. To put Johann Gottlieb Koppe , formed at Thaer and 1814-1830 administrator of Eckardstein's lands, the production of the three-field on impact and rotation of crops according to the English model. In the new Vorwerk Ernsthof the Eckardsteins concentrated on sheep farming and above all on the cultivation and processing of potatoes . In 1835 the Vorwerk consisted of family houses, a distillery , two sheep stables, a cattle shed and a wooden stable.
In his description of the Eckardstein rule, the historian Rudolf Schmidt separated the rural community of Grunow and the Grunow estate , equating the Grunow estate with the Ernsthof estate or Vorwerk Ernsthof . After that the Vorwerk had 126 inhabitants in 1860 and 110 in 1900. Schmidt specifies the extension of the Vorwerk / Gut for 1900 as 844 hectares . The number of livestock in that year was: 656 sheep, 102 pigs, 83 cattle, 25 horses, 91 geese, 15 ducks and 296 chickens. 419 apple, 30 pear, 205 plum and 540 cherry trees were listed as fruit trees. According to Schmidt, Ernsthof is said to have had its own cemetery in 1905, although it no longer exists today (as of 2012).
Settlement in 1931 and the GDR era
From 1931 Ernsthof was resettled. In 1934, the Eckardsteins sold the Ernsthof and Kähnsdorf estates to the regional company “Eigen Scholle”. The society parceled out the site and settled 15 families from Swabia and Baden-Baden who farmed a total of 20 hectares of land. At this time, the settler houses were built on the Ringstrasse. The village never had a church or school - the children went to school in Grunow and the Ernsthofer went to the village church of Grunow , a field stone church from the 13th century, for church services . At the end of World War II , the settlers trekked north and found everything burned out when they returned in July 1945 .
In the so-called "collectivization phase" of the GDR between 1952 and 1960 with the state-organized merger of private companies to form large cooperative companies, the agricultural production cooperatives (LPG) came into being. Residents who refused to be forced collectivization were allegedly imprisoned in Bautzen for years , while others went to the West.
Ernsthof in the 21st century
Agriculture
After German reunification , the “AMG Agrar- & Marketing GmbH Märkische Schweiz” was founded as the successor to the LPG. It operates a dairy cattle facility in Ernsthof and is one of the largest employers of the Märkische Schweiz office . With this business, a shepherd and several resettlers, agriculture still proves to be the main livelihood of the Grunower and Ernsthof residents.
Since December 31, 2001, Ernsthof and Grunow have belonged to the newly formed municipality of Oberbarnim , whose administrative business is handled by the Märkische Schweiz office based in Buckow . The population of Ernsthof was given in 2006 as 204.
Field stone culture
The former Vorwerk is part of the Oberbarnimer Feldsteinroute , which opened in 2012 , a 41.5 kilometer long cultural and architectural history trail on the trail of the building material fieldstone . The route description to the Ernsthof highlights: The old town center with its field stone buildings is well preserved. This field stone ensemble exemplarily shows the problems when dealing with the legacies of the field stone culture. The decay of the buildings and careful restoration are in close proximity to one another. An information board under the title " Field stone culture between splendor and decay" adds: The processing of the field stones through drill marks and wedge marks can be seen well on the stable and barn building. The split field stones have been processed side by side like butterfly wings several times.
