history

Historical photo of the church

The name of the place could be derived from the Sorbian welike drewo , which means high deciduous forest or moist deciduous forest . As Velgendreve, the place was owned by the Zinna monastery from 1285 to 1553 . 1285 is therefore also the year of the first documentary mention. From the time of the Thirty Years War , 34 mounted soldiers have survived. During the Wars of Liberation , the place was affected by looting; In addition, there were several famines due to poor harvests, which led to the impoverishment of the population. In several major fires, the mainly half-timbered buildings were destroyed and gradually replaced by stone structures. At the end of the 19th century, the farmers began to drain the bordering swampy area and to use the land obtained in this way for agriculture and cattle breeding. In 1897 they set up a dairy for processing milk. At peak times around 250 kg of butter was produced every day.

In the time of National Socialism in 1935 plans arose to give up the place in favor of a military training area . This led to the fact that in autumn 1936 the majority of the residents left the place; In 1937 it was completely abandoned for military use. During the Second World War , a subcamp of the main camp III A for prisoners of war and a subcamp of the prison in Luckau were set up. After the end of the war, the place was settled again, mainly by expellees from the east. They tore down the now dilapidated church. Around 30 new farmers began growing vegetables in 1948, which developed into a market garden in the coming decades during the GDR era . In 1952, the farmers built a machine-tractor station that was responsible for the southern parts of the old Luckenwalde district and the district town. In the same year an agricultural production cooperative was established , which cultivated 358 hectares . A blacksmith's shop, a carpentry shop, a bakery, a basket-making shop, a grocery store and two inns were built. On December 6, 1993, Felgentreu was incorporated into Nuthe-Urstromtal. In 2010 the place celebrated its 725th anniversary.
