Plan of the Döberitzer Heide, Ferbitz is drawn

Ferbitz is a desert in the Döberitzer Heide in the state of Brandenburg. The former location is now part of the Fahrland district of the city of Potsdam . However, the northeastern part of the former district belongs to the district of Dallgow-Döberitz (essentially the Ferbitzer Bruch nature reserve ). In 1936/37 Ferbitz was included in the expansion of the Döberitz military training area, and the villagers were expropriated and resettled. The vacant buildings were demolished after the Second World War.

history

Before 1589

As in large parts of the area, there is evidence of prehistoric settlement around Ferbitz . A plan from 1855 shows the village near Ferbitz . This is possibly a predecessor settlement of Ferbitz. Nothing more is known about Ferbitz until the 16th century.

1589-1800

Since at least 1589 that was good Ferbitz in the possession of those of Falkenhagen . There is evidence that Joachim and Dietrich von Falkenhagen lived in Falkenhagen and Ferbitz in 1589. The family kept the property until at least 1676.

The feudal and manor Döberitz was bought by Christoph von Katsch , Minister and secret budget and war council of the Prussian king, on May 15, 1706 Heinrich and Levin Ludwig von der Gröben . A few years later, von Katsch also acquired the Ferbitz manor. From 1711 he was the legal owner of both manors. The Döberitz village church was built in 1712-13 in place of the previous building with the help of a grant from the king, with elaborate church furnishings made of dark oak wood. The furnishings were rich in allusions and coat of arms of the von Katsch family. As a result of the evacuation of the village, the equipment came to Ferbitz. Since this village was also cleared, the equipment was probably brought directly to Haage , where it is still to this day.

After the death of the minister in 1748, ownership within the family changed through Freiherr Friedrich Karl von Börstel in 1750 to his son, Privy Councilor Carl von Börstel ( cathedral dean of Brandenburg). In 1770, a year before his death, he had his manors appraised. The appraisals have been handed down to this day and show a good picture of the value and condition of the buildings of the Döberitz and Ferbitz manors. Carl von Börstel died on January 8th, 1771, with him the noble von Börstel family died out . In 1772 ownership passed to the former Colonel Carl Anton von Schätzel . He then lived in Döberitz and is buried under the church there. After his death, the manors came to Ernestiene Caroline Countess von Eichstedt-Peterswalde .

After 1800

After 1805, the property changed for the last time within the nobility, this time to the Freiin von der Reck .

In 1817 the goods were sold to the timber merchant Christoph Gottfried Rogge for 6,000 thaler. Until the expropriation by the military treasury, Döberitz and Ferbitz remained in the possession of his descendants. The Ferbitz manor district was dissolved in 1928, and the village, like most of the entire district , became part of the Kartzow community .

In photos from the year 1936, the village church, a brewery, the stately manor house and are Meier house recognizable. The Ferbitz village hall was expropriated in 1936/37 and all residents were relocated to expand the military training area. At that time about 80 people lived in Ferbitz. The buildings, which initially remained largely intact, were demolished shortly after the Second World War to extract building materials.

Current condition

Since the remaining rubble heaps have long been overgrown, almost nothing can be seen of the village today. Since the opening of the area, however, historians have also been increasingly concerned with the history of the Döberitzer Heide. In 2008, the remains of the village's cemetery and church were found.

A historic post route that connects Priort via Ferbitz with Sacrow was reopened as a hiking trail on August 8, 2009. The old village street is used in Ferbitz. For over 100 years, the postal route was largely in a restricted military area.
