Fiener dam
The Fiener Damm is a heaped-up crossing of the Fiener Bruch that has existed since the Middle Ages . It was created at the narrowest point of the Ice Age wetland Fiener Bruch, which is part of the Baruther glacial valley , west of the village of Rogäsen . The extremely narrow width of the glacial valley at this point results from an alluvial cone , the Bücknitzer Heide , swept up to the south . The dam has a length of about one and a half kilometers. The state road 96 runs along it. Several smaller bridges over ditches and rivers like the Buckauer Hauptgraben or the Zitzer Landgraben belong to the dam .
The Fiener Damm lay in the course of the Heerstraße Brandenburg – Magdeburg on the way from Brandenburg to the Bishop's residence Ziesar . At the end of the 15th century, the Brandenburg bishop , whose residence was Ziesar Castle , had the Fiener Damm renewed, for which he collected an embankment fee, a road toll . In 1813, during the Wars of Liberation , there was fighting between Prussian and French troops around the dam . In parallel to the existing road embankment, a railway embankment was built by 1901 for the now disused Wusterwitz – Görzke railway line .
The Fiener Damm is lined as an avenue with trees. It can be driven over its entire length at a speed of 70 km / h.
legend
According to a local legend, a huge dog guards the crossing through the Fiener Bruch at night by the bridge on the Fiener Damm and is not supposed to let travelers through. At 1 a.m., the dog is supposed to jump from the bridge into the ditch.
