Fohrde [ ˈfoːʁdə ] is a district of the city of Havelsee in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district in the state of Brandenburg and is part of the Beetzsee office . In 2002 Fohrde voluntarily merged with the city of Pritzerbe and the communities of Briest and Hohenferchesar to form the city of Havelsee, to which the village of Marzahne moved in 2008 . Fohrde lies between the southern bank of the Pritzerber See and the Havel . In the east and north the nature reserve Untere Havel Süd borders directly on the village. The federal highway 102 leads through the place.

history

The area was already inhabited by people in prehistoric times. On the basis of archaeological finds, settlements in the area have been proven since the Middle Stone Age at the latest . In the area of ​​the Pritzerber See, numerous artefacts made of bones and antlers that could be dated to the Upper Paleolithic or Mesolithic times were excavated . For example, points, bony fish hooks and a buzzing device were found. Iron Age grave fields were found in the vicinity of the Pritzerber See. On the Gallberg between Hohenferchesar and Fohrde, several prehistoric urn grave fields , which can be dated from the Bronze Age to the Roman Empire , were discovered. A large part of the prehistoric finds around Pritzerbe are exhibited in the Jerichower Land district museum in Genthin .

In his work Germania , Tacitus describes the area east of the Elbe up to the Oder as a settlement area of ​​the Suebian tribe of the Semnones . Apart from a few remaining groups, the Semnones left their old settlement area on the Havel in the direction of the Rhine before or at the latest during the time of the migration of peoples from the 3rd or 4th century . From the 6th century onwards, Slavic tribes came from the east to the area that had been largely empty of settlement for around one hundred and fifty years after the Germans had emigrated. Remnants of the Germanic population went into the Slavic majority population.

The village of Fohrde was first mentioned in a document on February 4, 1227 as villa Verden . The name is probably derived from the Middle Low German word vore or vörde for passage, passage, ford or forward for narrow access, narrow dam path , water passage, ford. In the document with the first mention of Fohrde, the Bishop of Brandenburg, as feudal lord, confirmed the donation of two Hufe Land by a knight Daniel von Mukede to the Brandenburg Cathedral Hospital. Seven years later, on February 27, 1234, Pope Gregory IX confirmed . documented the ecclesiastical property in the " villa Vorden". Like the surrounding country and its villages, Fohrde was also part of the Brandenburg Monastery , the principality of the Bishop of Brandenburg, until the middle of the 16th century, in 1571 . It was given by him as a fief. In 1375 parts came to a miner Kothe and in 1450 to a Lantin or Landin family. Later and beyond the Reformation, those of Brösike were fiefs.

With the Reformation, Fohrde also became sovereign property. Until 1816 it came first to the Ziesar domain office and then to the Lehnin domain office until 1872 . In 1624 the village community consisted of fifteen hoppers, seven kossati , a shepherd, a blacksmith and a few shepherds. A total of 42 Hufen land belonged to the place at that time  . In 1772 it had 185 inhabitants. Fohrde grew considerably in the 19th century. In 1840 it consisted of 35 houses, in 1900 there were already 101. As in other localities in the area, brickworking became an important branch of the economy in Fohrde. The connection to waterways meant that the bricks produced could be easily transported to the cities of Brandenburg, Potsdam and Berlin. In 1860 there were two brickworks in Fohrde. In 1895, after a bridge was built, the centuries-old ferry service between Fohrde and Pritzerbe was stopped. The growth of the place continued. In 1931 Fohrde consisted of 131 houses. In 1933 there were 931 inhabitants and in 1939 there were 1068 inhabitants. After the Second World War, the then Soviet administration re-divided 224 hectares of land for 33 owners during the land reform in 1948. In 1950 the village of Tieckow was incorporated into Fohrde. A first LPG was founded in 1953.

Politically, Fohrde belonged to the then newly founded Prussian Province of Brandenburg since 1815 . A year later the district of Westhavelland was founded, to which these places were affiliated. After the Second World War and the founding of the GDR in 1949, Fohrde was assigned to the Brandenburg district in 1952, together with all of the districts that are now part of Havelsee , which became part of the Potsdam-Mittelmark district in 1993 and thus to the new Potsdam district , which existed until 1990.

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Tieckow was incorporated.
