geography
Geographical location
Ferchesar is located in the west of Brandenburg in the Havelland district, approx. 12 km northeast of Rathenow and approx. 60 km west of Berlin-Spandau . The region around Ferchesar is very rich in forests and lakes. The place itself is at the end of the Hohennauener-Ferchesarer See . Other lakes in the immediate vicinity of Ferchesar include the Fennsee (Westhavelland) , Trintsee and Lochower See .
history
The place Ferchesar, like many places in the Havelland district, originates from a Slavic settlement. The name of the place already shows this Slavic origin. It is derived from the Polish verch for upper part and jezer for lake (cf. Lower Sorbian wjerch and jazor ). Verch-jezer can therefore be translated as "place located on a height by the lake" or as "place on the upper part (head) of the lake". Ferchesar was first mentioned in a document in 1438. In this document, Margrave Friedrich the Younger had enfeoffed Eggert von Stechow with the goods he had bought and inherited from Ferchesar and Stechow.
The place Ferchesar was divided into four parts for centuries. The first share owned from 1438–1686 by a Mr. Knoblauch zu Ferchesar. The 2nd before 1476 Mr. Wennemar and from 1467 to 1686 that of Lochows zu Nennhausen and Bamme. From 1737 this share was transferred to that of Bredows on Wagenitz. The third share was enfeoffed from the Bredows to Friesack, Wagenitz and Senske from around 1540 until after 1745. The 4th part was enfeoffed from the Knoblauchs zu Pessin and Ferchesar from 1496 to 1872 according to a document from Elector Johann.
Except for the church, Ferchesar burned down in 1612. In the years 1830–70, many landowners discovered rich clay deposits on their fields, which marked the beginning of the boom in the brick trade. On August 16, 1846, Ferchesar almost burned down again. The west side of the village and the manor were destroyed. As a result, the cane roofs of the old fishermen's and farmhouses were gradually covered with bricks to reduce the risk of fire in the village.
Since the beginning of the 19th century, Ferchesar has often been referred to as the "Pearl of the Havelland". The place was and is valued as a holiday destination due to its natural, quiet location on the eastern tip of the Hohennauener-Ferchesarer See .
From April 2, 1900 to 1945, Ferchesar was a train station on the Rathenow-Senzke-Nauen district railway .
The innkeeper Seeger opened the first swimming area in the village in 1903. The beaches and the well-developed hiking and biking trails around the lake and the surrounding area still attract tourists today.

Buildings
The oldest buildings in the village include some old half-timbered buildings and barns from the 17th century. The church on the village green was built between 1735 and 1737. However, only a few walls of the nave of the old half-timbered church are preserved. The tower was renewed in 1838 in half-timbered construction, demolished in 1906 and rebuilt in 1907 as a massive brick tower in the neo-baroque style. The double onion roof of the tower is reminiscent of the coat of arms of the von Knoblauch family. The church has an early Gothic bell. The tower clock, which has a clockwork with weight pulls, which has to be wound every 8 days, dates from the 19th century.
