Location of Frankenfelde in Brandenburg
Frankenfelde village church

The village of Frankenfelde is a district of Wriezen in the Märkisch-Oderland district , Brandenburg , with currently around 170 inhabitants.

Frankenfelde is located in the Märkische Schweiz region . Located on the Oberbarnim on the edge of the Oderbruch at a height of up to 95 m, a view of over 20 km to the northeast is possible. This is also due to the fact that the local area consists only of hilly fields, meadows and avenues, but not of forest.

The municipality extends about 8 km southwest of the city center of Wriezen on the state road L33, which connects the village with Wriezen and Strausberg . The disused train station Schulzendorf (b Bad Freienwalde) of the Wriezener Bahn , via which Frankenfelde was connected to Berlin and Wriezen until 1998, is located on this street just before the boundary of the district . The line is currently used by the Sternebeck museum railway . Public bus transport to and from Frankenfelde takes place on lines 885 and 927 of the Barnimer bus company . The buses connect the two stops in the village with Bad Freienwalde (Oder) , Wriezen, Prötzel and Strausberg. The Frankenfelde Rural Women's Association has existed since 1992 and is firmly anchored in village life and maintains national contacts to Poland and Bad Pyrmont.

history

Like numerous other places in the Oberbarnim, Frankenfelde was first mentioned in the Land Book of the Mark Brandenburg Emperor Charles IV in 1375, when the villages in the region were first systematically recorded. The place name is assumed to be a name transfer, either derived from Frankenfelde (Fläming) because not a few villages on the Barnim mid-13th century by the Cistercian - Zinna Monastery were founded and settlers from the countryside Jüterbog were settled, or Frankenfelde ( Altmark) , as later many colonists from the Altmark also settled in the Oder region. From 1375 to 1683 the place was in different shares in the possession of the noble family of the von Pfuel . In 1412 Friedrich I enfeoffed the Pfuel with the estate. At that time, a distinction was made between Gut and Dorf Frankenfelde. Free farmers lived in the village. In 1432 Frankenfelde was badly devastated in the Hussite Wars . As a result, the Barfuß family, which was widely ramified on the Oberbarnim, took over the majority of the village. In 1598, according to a historical inscription in the so-called plague window of the Frankenfeld church, 90 inhabitants of Frankenfelde died of the plague . After the Thirty Years War there were only five families left in the village.

In 1773 the Berlin entrepreneur Paul Benedikt Wolff (from 1786 von Wolff) acquired Frankenfelde and other villages in the area, which he had managed from his castle in neighboring Haselberg . Von Wolff became head of the Royal Warehouse in Berlin-Mitte in 1777 and a partner in 1781 , one of the most important wool manufacturers in Prussia at the time . This gave the impetus to try out the latest agricultural methods on his estates and, in particular, to promote sheep farming. The success allowed him to find imitators in the region and was a model for further developments in the course of the Prussian reforms . After his death in 1806, Frankenfelde became a state estate .

In 1816, at the instigation of State Chancellor Karl August von Hardenberg, the foundation stone was laid for the Frankenfelde family sheep farm, which became well known in the course of the 19th century. It owes this not least to the work of the famous agricultural reformer Albrecht Daniel Thaer in Frankenfelde. With the letter Albrecht Daniel Thaer to State Chancellor Hardenberg (February 4, 1816) , Gut Frankenfelde was proposed for the first state sheep farm. From 1845 one of four agriculture schools in the Mark Brandenburg was established here. Farmers should be made familiar with new knowledge and methods and the next generation of farmers should be trained. In the Encyclopædia Britannica 1859, the wool of the Brandenburg region is referred to as the best in the world (“The wool of the Province of Brandenburg is reckoned the best in the world”), and the model herds of Frankenfelde receive special mention in this context. At that time there was also a shepherd school in the village. By the beginning of the twentieth century, however, sheep breeding experienced its decline, as the increasing cheap import of wool from areas of the southern hemisphere made domestic production unprofitable.

On December 31, 1997, Frankenfelde merged with Biesdorf , Haselberg and Lüdersdorf to form the municipality of Wriezener Höhe , which was incorporated into the town of Wriezen on October 26, 2003. The village has been part of the city of Wriezen since 2003.
