history

In the Middle Ages , the village of Groben , which was first mentioned in 1294, is proven at the site of today's Görisgräben . Like many neighboring towns in the Brandenburg area, it probably became desolate in the 14th century , and in 1396 it was referred to as a "desolate village place". The corridor of the village of Groben passed into the possession of the Neustadt Brandenburg in 1398 by donation from the margraves . In the 16th century, the repopulation of the over a hundred years uninhabited and desolate place began. A milestone on the way was the establishment of a sheep farm that was later expanded to become a farm .

A Vorwerk of Görisgräben was dissolved in 1848/49 and the only remnant left behind was Görisgräben 10 . To the east of the Vorwerk, a spinner colony was established in connection with the Barchent manufactory established in Brandenburg in 1754 , which in 1858 consisted of seven residential buildings. In the second half of the 19th century, most of the arable land in the south was reforested. Very few of the former farmsteads are still in their original state today, but have fallen into disrepair.

Before it was incorporated into the Brandenburg district in 1928, Görisgräben with its colony and Vorwerk belonged to the district of Zauch-Belzig as part of the Neustadt Brandenburger Forst estate .
