history

Flieth and Stegelitz belonged to the Templin district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg since 1817 and to the Templin district in the GDR district of Neubrandenburg from 1952 . Since 1993 the places have been in the Brandenburg district of Uckermark.

The municipality of Flieth-Stegelitz was created on December 31, 2001 from the merger of the previously independent municipalities of Flieth and Stegelitz.

Flieth

Church ruins in Flieth

In 1269 the place appears as "Vlete" in a document. The Fliether Church originated from this time and was destroyed in a bomb attack in 1945 except for the surrounding walls and one of three bells.

The village was owned by the von Stegelitz family until the middle of the 15th century , after which the Arnim ruled over what is now called "Fleyth" until 1928.

Stegelitz

As Flieth first mentioned in 1269, the place name probably goes back to the founder Heinrich von Stegelitz . From the end of the 15th century, the rulership of the village changed several times. After the Thirty Years War, Stegelitz was a desert and was gradually repopulated in the following decades. In 1734 - there are now 301 inhabitants - the manor village belonged to the von Arnim family . At that time there was next to a sheep farm, a forester's farm and the village pitcher, a wind mill and a water mill (at the Mühlengraben - the actual upper Ucker ). Some craftsmen were also based in Stegelitz ( linen weavers , bricklayers, carpenters, blacksmiths, saddlers and tailors).

Shortly before the end of the war in 1945, the manor building was set on fire, barns, stables and farm buildings, as well as the church and school, were badly damaged.

The stone church of Stegelitz, evangelical since the Reformation, dates from the second half of the 13th century. The sacred building was built as a hall and originally ended with a flat ceiling. The interior was changed at the end of the 16th century by the installation of two octagonal pillars to form a two-aisled hall and provided with a ribbed vault that is unique for the Uckermark. In the years 1721 to 1737 the church was changed again. The tower top is from 1734. The altar top from 1598 has been preserved in the original color. The pulpit and the patron's box date from 1728. The box stalls for church visitors have been completely preserved. In 1734 General Field Marshal Georg Abraham von Arnim had a grave memorial erected for himself in the church. The church was closed in 2015 due to acute danger of collapse. A development association has been trying to preserve the church since 2017.

In 1991 the school next to the church, built in 1786, was closed. Today it is used as a guest house and seminar center.

In 1948, war refugees settled in the Hessenhagener Mühle residential area 2 km southwest of Stegelitz . They dug holes in the ground for lack of building materials. The long-established inhabitants of the area called the settlement Africa . Later four new farmer's houses were built there, three of which are half-timbered houses, which are still standing today.
