History and etymology
Early to the 14th century
The region was populated by Slavs around the 6th century . It is not known when exactly they erected a castle wall in Görzke . When Otto I founded the diocese of Brandenburg in 948 , the place was still in the border area of the Gau Moraciani , although not yet mentioned in a document. This first happened as Gorceke in 1161 when Wilmar von Brandenburg founded the Brandenburg Cathedral Chapter . The properties of the cathedral chapter were recorded in a document at the time. Among other things, the Burgward Görzke, d. H. a well-fortified district made up of several places, which, as an external border around Magdeburg , secured the power of the bishop. The name comes from the Slavic period of the Mark Brandenburg and means settlement on a mountain. Historians assume that Görzke is said to have been a low castle with a diameter of around 60 meters. The residents were protected by a surrounding wall made of wood and earth with a water-filled outer ditch. The size suggests that it was originally used as a refuge, but - according to a representation by the Görzke Council from 1989 - it could also have served the nobility as a residence: north of the Niederungsburg there was a smaller rampart about 10 to 15 meters in diameter, which could have served as the main castle. During excavations, numerous blue-gray sherds from the 13th and 14th centuries were found, which prove a use. To the southwest of the church there was another small fortification next to the castle wall, which was built by the German settlers. This fortified courtyard ( curia ) had a rectangular floor plan with an edge length of around 100 meters. It probably belonged to a knight who offered the community additional protection. The place was protected from the north and west by swampy lowlands. In the south and east there were a total of three moats; the innermost with a depth of up to six meters. Around 1250 Görzke received city rights and was surrounded by a city wall. During this time, the Görzke village church was built in the Romanesque style as a field stone church. On July 15, 1283 awarded Otto IV. And his younger brother Conrad I the place Gorzek the privilege of jurisdiction before its own mayor . The citizens were thus exempt from the rulings of the Vogt and put on an equal footing with other Brandenburg cities. Two years later, the city also received the right to mint , which the brothers provided with the condition that the city use an amount of 33 Schillings and 4 Pfenning annually for the further fortification of the district . In 1328, Ludwig V pledged the town with other cities such as Beelitz or Brietzen to Rudolf I for 16,000 silver marks with effect from May 25th . Nevertheless, the margrave reserved the right to redeem the pledged assets within the next twelve years. At this time the false Woldemar , a con man , appeared and pretended to be Margrave Waldemar . He incited several cities, including Görzke in 1349 against the Wittelsbacher , but was exposed in 1350 under King Charles IV . The Gorizians initially refused to give allegiance to the king and were therefore ostracized on September 12, 1350 with the imperial ban . The situation only dissolved when Waldemar gave birth to Görzke on May 10, 1355 and referred her to Ludwig. From this year the existence of a mill has been handed down for the first time , which in a document dated April 16, 1935 was referred to as Görzer "Mulen" but was not detailed. On June 24, 1369 Otto left the minting rights to the towns and this presumably led to the fact that Görzke ceased to mint its own coins. The castle wall was probably no longer used around 1370. In the course of the disputes between the Archbishopric of Magdeburg and the Margraves of Brandenburg , the Abbey demanded the city of Gortzk from them in 1373 , which the Archbishopric finally conquered and destroyed in 1378.
15th century to 17th century
In 1416 Frederick I managed to recapture the city and lead it back into the Mark. However, this did not resolve the conflict with the Archbishopric. Both parties laid claim to the city. They agreed to transfer the city to the Count of Schwarzburg as a fief . This in turn enfeoffed it to von Schierstedt , who also took over the jurisdiction. This situation was only to be resolved on December 27, 1533, when Joachim I finally renounced Görzke. However , he was granted the right of escort , so that the city had to set up armed men for his protection within a previously defined area when the Elector passed through - Görzke came to the first district of the Jerichow district in the Archbishopric of Magdeburg. In 1424, the “Berckmole”, a mountain mill , appeared in the margrave's fief register for the first time. In a document dated June 18, 1441, it was referred to as "Borgmolle". A chronicle of the congregation indicates that their fate is not yet known. Possibly one of the town's mills mentioned later was hidden behind it. The spelling Gorczck has been handed down from 1452 , which appeared in 1533 with Gortzk , Goertzcke , Görtzke and also for the first time Görzke . After the death of Hans von Schierstedt, the inheritance - including the city - came to the sons Wolf Friedrich, Friedrich and Hans Friedrich on August 2, 1569, who from then on managed it together. The latter then founded the Oberhof on a property that was a restaurant in the 1980s. Wolf Friedrich received the Mittelhof (in the 1980s the property at Breiten Straße 7) and Friedrich received the Unterhof , where a starch factory was located in the 20th century. In future, the three heirs not only had the right to exercise jurisdiction. They were based on the Constitutio Criminalis Carolina introduced in the 16th century . They had also been ordered to look after the church as much as their father did. This included, for example, the task of providing the school with sufficient firewood in winter. The documents on the process of inheritance are still evidence that there was a cutting mill, two grinding mills and a copper mill in the village in 1569. The latter was used for metalworking using a hammer mill powered by water power. It was only operated for two days and - according to a community chronicle - is said to have been on the ditch in front of Busses mill. The trace of a further mentioned windmill is lost in the middle of the 19th century. In the middle of the 16th century, craftsmen used the gradient in the landscape to supply three aristocratic farms with spring water with the help of wooden pipes. During the Thirty Years' War the city was badly devastated in 1642, the church burned down except for the choir and the steeple . The city became impoverished and eventually lost its town charter. In 1680 Friedrich Wilhelm took over the Duchy of Magdeburg and with it Görzke and ruled it from Brandenburg-Prussia . There is evidence of a school rector in the town as early as 1686. He taught up to 40 students who went to school in Görzke around 1700. Little by little, there was a modest economic boom. For example, from 1692 - confirmed in 1716 - a handicraft regulation for tailors, shoemakers, bakers, blacksmiths, leash weavers, bike makers and wheelwrighters has been handed down and thus an indication that the relevant trades were active in the community. In a family tree of the Muths family there is an indication that a Hans Peter Muths (1628–1690) acquired a mill on the Erlenbach , the Muthses Mühle. It was in operation until the mid-1930s, but was converted to an electric drive during this time.
18th to 19th century
Görzke has a long tradition as a craft town . Clay fields near Pramsdorf and Buckautal were developed as early as 1624 and led to the establishment of pottery. In the following decades, due to their location on trade routes, the cities of Ziesar and Görzke emerged as centers of the pottery industry. At the end of the 17th century, the farmers, on whose land clay could be mined, received the clay right. They were allowed to mine clay and deliver it to the pottery - preferably in the less laborious winter months. In 1706, the local potters formed a guild and supplied the surrounding villages and towns with pottery. The craftsmen used a scratching technique in which the glaze applied must first have reached a leather-hard consistency. The glaze is then removed from the workpiece by scratching. This creates individual patterns or lettering on the pottery. The sponge technique was also used. A certain pattern is pressed onto the ceramic with a small sponge. The clay was extracted in the region until the beginning of the 20th century. Guilds of butchers, table makers, coopers and potters are known from the year 1717. This economic boom was one of the reasons why the town was regained city rights in 1719.
The existence of one of the city gates has been handed down from 1725. The lower gate, also known as the forged gate, was one of the few entrances to the city. This was surrounded by walls made of field stones with a height of seven to nine meters. Another gate was the Obertor, what Waldemartor, which was removed in 1876. Experts assume that there was a third gate in the Middle Ages and provided access to the castle wall. In 1765 the number of residents continued to increase and with it the number of students. A second class had to be set up with 130 children. In 1782 719 people lived in Görzke. They live mainly from agriculture and do handicrafts. In 1780 there were guilds for tailors, shoemakers, linen weavers, bakers, butchers, blacksmiths, wheel makers, carpenters, potters and cooperatives. There is a tradition of a grinding mill near the church. There were also two further grinding and cutting mills. They were represented in the Lohburg miller 's trade in the 18th century and on April 20th, 1779, they applied to break away from this guild. The king complied with this on June 10th. However, it is not yet known whether the Gorizia millers then founded their own guild. On March 14, 1793, the miller George Christoph Quellmann acquired the cutting mill. From 1825 it came into the possession of the Oldendorf family and from around 1840 to Johann Friedrich Carl Busse. Since then it has been called Busses Mill.
During the Wars of Liberation , the inhabitants of Görzke suffered from looting, which also occurred when the French troops withdrew after the Battle of Hagelberg . For example, it is said that the Görz rectory suffered damage of 408 thalers as a result of the siege in the last quarter of 1807 alone. When creating the Görzker Chronicle on Economic Development, the municipality compiled numerous letters that document the plight of the population. The residents complain about a lack of support from surrounding cities and communities, but also a lack of seeds that they had to give to the occupiers. With the October edict , the situation of the farmers in particular improved, as did the further development through the abolition of the common division and a further development of the three-field economy . The submission of the tithe was not affected by this; this had to be done by the peasants until 1848 and beyond. The peace of Tilsit also led to a change in Görzke, because with the shifted state borders, the city came to the administrative district of Potsdam, founded in 1815, and became a minor city . In 1816 those von Schwarzburg ceded the sovereignty to the administrative district. Görzke came to the province of Saxony in the administrative district of Magdeburg ( district of Jerichow I ). On January 11, 1827, the mill owner Oldendorf applied for the separation to be implemented in Görzke. Later, numerous farmers joined this application, so that a royal official measured the fields and determined the value of the individual arable land. The survey showed that around 1580 hectares had to be distributed. In addition to the three Görzk manors, the Struvenberg estate also made claims on the arable land. In addition, there were the parish, three school teacher positions, the community of Görzke and 15 farms , two three-quarter farms , one Halbackerhof and 18 kötter . 61 Büdner and 15 new farmers also had to be supplied. The extensive calculations as well as the designation of communally used areas such as the bull field for the community bull meant that the new arable and pasture areas could only be taken over by the new owners on August 18, 1836. Regulations for clearing the water-bearing ditches were also discussed in the negotiations. These were of crucial importance for the mill owners in order to ensure the functioning of the mills. Busses Mühle appeared in these documents as a grinding and cutting mill. It was during this time that the Schönthal mill was reported for the first time, which appears in old publications as the rose mill . In 1805 it was bequeathed from Anne Dorothee Hamann to her son Johann Friedrich, who sold it on January 4, 1827 to the master miller Johann Friedrich Puhlmann. In 1830 the city established a third school class; The fourth in 1861. In 1839 the city determined that the historic ramparts no longer fulfilled any function and had the trenches filled in if they could not perform any other function. According to a separation process from 1842, some areas were used jointly as pasture areas and appeared in the documents as walls near the city . A regulation stipulated the period in which the farmers could use the land. From the year 1850, 13 members of the shoemaker's guild, 14 blacksmiths, 12 each in the carpenters 'guild as well as the wheel and wheelwright's guild and 17 members of the linen weavers' guild have been handed down. The tailors were represented by 23 members; the butchers in 1858 with 14 people. Every single trade had to struggle with its decline in the decades that followed; some even disappeared completely from the place. In 1855 the Zauch-Belziger Kreisblatt published an advertisement for a windmill that is said to have been located near Görzke. Further information on the origin and whereabouts is not yet available. It did not appear in the separation negotiations, but it was reported in the Anzeiger für Ziesar from 1894 that a mill had burned down.
On November 30, 1867, Görzke 1867 was the first men's choir to be founded . He carried a flag from 1873 and met weekly in the club's premises until 1956. The Liedertafel choir followed in 1885 and joined the Görzke men's choir after the Second World War . The men's gymnastics club Görzke was founded around the same time . Although the club had the year 1895 in its flag, a member of the club appeared as a plaintiff in a court case from 1885 - so the club must have already existed at that time. With the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act in 1877, a centuries-long tradition of dependence on an estate came to an end. Previously, disputes were heard before the Royal District Court in Burg or Genthin. After a fire in 1887, a volunteer fire brigade was founded on October 2, 1888. On September 2, 1879, the war memorial for those who fell in the Franco-German War was unveiled. On August 30, 1925, a plaque for those killed in the First World War was added. In 1891 - the year the rifle club was founded - the autumn exercise of the Berlin Guard Corps took place in the Görzke area and the neighboring towns to the west and north-west . Only a little later, the decision to build and build the Altengrabow military training area was made. At the beginning of the 20th century, this led to traffic obstructions in the village when the area was cordoned off over a large area. This resulted in impairments on the journey to Magdeburg , as well as to Schönebeck (Elbe) . There, in particular, wood was transported that was extracted from clearing to develop arable land around Görzke. At that time the place was still surrounded by a dense belt of deciduous and coniferous trees.
20th to 21st century
Around 1900 the miller Mehlmann had a post mill built on a hill after Hohenlobbese . However, the location turned out to be not as favorable as originally thought and so the building was demolished and rebuilt in another location opposite the Liège pond. At that time there was already a factory on the site of the former manor where starch was produced. It is not known when this started operation. In a document from 1890, a Bertrand family is named as the owner. In 1905 a dairy cooperative was founded , which started production on July 16, 1906. After the First World War, in particular, she struggled with great difficulties in obtaining the heating material required to process the milk. In addition to butter, drinking milk and edible milk, sour milk quark was also produced. The latter was delivered to the Harz region, where it was processed into Harz cheese. In 1907 the third men's choir, the Görzke men's quartet, was founded . The association consisting mainly of business people dissolved after the end of the Second World War. Also in 1907, the forge in the Jerichow I district merged to form the free economic association of independent blacksmiths . Its aim was to improve the forge's economic situation. On August 11, 1911, the place was connected to the Wusterwitz – Görzke railway line . The idea germinated as early as 1892, but could only be realized after years of negotiations. The pottery and other products could be transported over long distances. At the same time, however, it was also possible to compensate for the declining clay stocks in the region through purchases from other regions. At the beginning of the 20th century, the guild also obtained clay from Straach near Wittenberg . In 1914, workers began paving the road to Benken. However, the work was interrupted by the First World War and could only be completed after 1923. 88 men from Görzke died in the war; It was not until 1920 that the last man from captivity came home. After the end of the war, a workers' shooting club Solidarity was founded , which was dissolved during the National Socialist era . He kept a shooting range in the gravel pit on the vineyard. 1918 was also the hour of birth of the Karl Seiler company, which manufactured ceramic products. At a later date he took over the Franz Ludwig pottery and gradually expanded his production. Seiler supplied its customers with its own trucks within a radius of up to 250 km.
Between 1920 and 1933 there were several wage disputes in the Görzk pottery. They started with wage cuts, which were linked to rising inflation as a harbinger of the global economic crisis . Workers were dependent on wage increases, but the guild strictly rejected them. Another point of contention was requests for leave. In 1925, they were fulfilled in that workers who had been employed in the same company for one year were given one day of vacation. After four years of service, the entitlement increased to two, from six years to three days. However, it wasn't just the pottery workers who suffered. The bakers, for example, also had great problems transferring the rising prices onto their products. They therefore decided to hold a regular, sometimes weekly, meeting to discuss prices. During the crisis, on February 23, 1926, the workers declared themselves ready to forego 15% of their wages for the same performance. In 1929 the clashes escalated and a strike broke out that lasted from September 12th to 18th. The workers then achieved a new wage regulation, which was improved again in 1932 at the endeavors of the Central German Arbitration Commission. In addition to the inflation, a chronicle of the municipality of Görzke describes how numerous, sometimes dodgy, peddlers spoiled the business of the long-established craftsmen during these times. In 1922 the Central German Association of Craftsmen therefore proposed a merger of all trades. Of the numerous Görzk craftsmen's guilds, only the Görzke pottery guild still existed.
On November 22, 1922, the place was connected to the electrical power grid. In 1918 an electricity cooperative was founded and is considering the introduction of the new achievement. But the high investment costs initially put off many interested parties. From then on, numerous farmers used their own grist mills and were no longer dependent on Görzke's mills, which were powered by water or wind power. The dairy also used the new form of energy supply; however, the steam engine remained in operation until 1936. At this time, a canning company also expanded its production capacities. Fruit and vegetables, fruit juices, jams and jams were processed. In 1922, another club was established with the Wanderlust cycling club. They conducted street races and competitions in art and hall drives. Also in the 1920s there was a workers and cyclists association Freie Fahrt Görzke and the sports club Görzke, which at times provided four soccer teams. There is only one photo of the Roland Sports Club with a plaque from 1925. No further documents are available so far. On August 11, 1926, the small-caliber lock club Gut Schuss was founded from among the craftsmen, tradespeople and farmers . In 1930 the windmill, which had been located on the Windmühlenberg until then, was torn down: Electrification reduced the number of farmers who had previously had their feed produced in the traditional way. In the same year there was a tragic death when a child was killed by a stone from the city wall. The city then decided to demolish the remains of the historic fortification. Also in 1930 the starch factory changed hands. Some farmers joined together to form a potato processing cooperative in Görzke and the surrounding area in order to continue operating the factory. They modernized the company and gradually expanded it. At peak times, up to 55 tons of potatoes were processed there into up to eight tons of starch flour. On February 8, 1931, a rabbit breeding club was added, the last club in town for the time being. The Second World War also affected schooling. Some teachers had to go to war, and classes were sometimes canceled for a longer period, especially in the winter months. The same fate befell the men's choir, as the majority of the 19 active members were also drafted. During the last months of the war, a military hospital was set up in the school building in March and April. On May 4, 1945, the Red Army reached the place.
After the end of the Second World War, the pottery initially recorded an increased demand for pottery. This changed with the division of Germany , with which important sales areas in the west collapsed. The clay industry suffered a further slump due to the increased use of plastic in consumer goods. This is also evident in the number of companies represented in the guild. While there were 13 potteries in 1920, the number fell to eight in 1945 and three in 1940. There were also expropriations , for example that of the Seiler company. The plants I and II in Reetzer Straße 2 and Chausseestraße 55 were transferred to VEB Tonwarenfabrik with effect from January 1, 1954 . The canning factory met the same fate. The keepers of dairy cows were instructed to forcibly deliver a certain amount of the milk to the dairy for further processing, which used it to make butter. With the division, a completely new problem arose for the dairy, as a separate industry for dairy machines had to be built up first - the majority of this manufacturing industry was in West Germany. The Görzker doll Petra came onto the market for the first time in 1947 . The 18 cm large toy was made from clay and covered with washed old textiles. Since the demand was high, up to ten employees were already producing the coveted toys in the former Spitta pottery from 1948 onwards. In 1948 the Schönthal mill received an electric drive; the existing mill wheel was dismantled. The Ziesarer Kleinbahn became part of the Deutsche Reichsbahn with effect from January 1, 1951. In a chronicle of the municipality of Görzig on economic development it is described that the timetable led to great criticism in the early years due to poor transfer conditions. With the start of a bus connection to Brandenburg, the importance of the route decreased further. In the same year the volunteer fire brigade received a new syringe house. This meant that the hoses no longer had to be dried in the open air or in the warm rooms of Görzker pottery in winter. In 1953 the men's choir was reactivated before it disbanded in 1973. The sandman figure was made in a local doll factory at the end of the 1950s . In the forest between Görzke and Reppinichen , a state-owned metalworking company from Leipzig maintained a company holiday camp for the children of its employees during the GDR era . During the GDR era, the previously privately owned arable land was pooled and cultivated by an LPG ; the marketplace used for cattle and general stores . On January 15, 1953, the first farmers united to form the LPG Liberated Land . In March 1953, the LPG Neue Zeit followed in Börnecke, and a year later the farmers living in the center of the village became the LPG unit . The remaining farmers were put under pressure to also join an LPG. This led to the founding of LPG Gute Hope in 1960 . In the same year the five dairy cooperatives in the district also merged. A specialized main production took place in Görzke. An average of 1000 tons of butter and 550 tons of camembert were produced annually. Previously, with effect from January 1, 1958, the local agricultural enterprise, in addition to the existing estates in Schmerwitz and Hagelberg / Lübnitz, became VEG Görzke. It initially managed 498 hectares of agricultural land with 12 horses, 54 cattle, 164 pigs, 49 sheep and 100 laying hens. The technical equipment was initially quite simple and was reduced to devices and machines that could be moved with a horse-drawn train. To make matters worse, there was no central courtyard with stables and large, connected areas. The animals were housed in up to 20 stalls, the fields were scattered in the field marrow. These had not been fertilized in recent years, which made crop rotation much more difficult. The Busses Mühle also belonged to the VEG, but its facility had already been removed or dilapidated. Only the foundation walls were left of it in the 1980s. In the following two years the operating area was increased to 1000 hectares by combining arable land. The farmers initially resorted to a machine rental station before they were able to use their own tractors from 1959. In the same year, administration rooms with a work kitchen and culture room were set up in the premises of the former Nippold pottery factory. At the end of 1960, 84 employees farmed an area of 1040 hectares with 424 cattle and 819 pigs. Four tractors and a combine harvester of the type Progress E 175 from the combine harvester plant in Bischofswerda / Singwitz were available for the work. From 1959 the VEB Tonwarenfabrik produced less and less utility ceramics. Production shifted to stoneware products for the sewer system. But only a few years later, these products were no longer in demand due to the increasing use of plastic. In discussions with VEB Baustoffversorgung, the management came to the conclusion that there was a great need for glazed building ceramics, which were produced in the factory from 1962/1963.
The Görzke women's choir was founded on April 4, 1960 with 22 singers. He was transferred to a mixed choir in 1963 and disbanded in 1981. In 1959, construction work began on a new school building, which could be moved into on September 1, 1962. The new building was used as a polytechnic high school and was named Frédéric Joliot-Curie -Oberschule Görzke on September 3, 1977 . In the canning factory there was a change in production. From now on, cooking oil should be bottled. After a fire in the production rooms in 1964, the business was initially continued as a bottle laundry. With effect from April 1, 1965, VEB Luwal Luckenwalde took over the company premises and had slippers made there. At the beginning of the 1960s there was also a process of concentration of LPGs in Görzke. On January 1, 1963, the LPG Einheit and Gute Hoffnung joined the Type I LPG, which from then on farmed around 800 hectares. The members built a flock of sheep with initially around 200 animals and set up a fattening barn that could accommodate up to 60 cattle. There was also a stable for around 1,000 laying hens at Schönthal-Mühle. The concentration was promoted by a resolution of the council of the district from 1962: The VEG Görzke came into the competence of the agriculture, registration and forestry department of the council of the Potsdam district. Field sizes of up to 25 hectares were created, which made management considerably easier. The management of the VEG moved into the former manor house, which was inhabited by new farmers after the war. With effect from January 1, 1964, the VEG was transferred together with the neighboring goods to the VVB Saat- und Pflanzgut Quedlinburg. In 1967 the production of PVC soft plastic dolls began, into which artificial hair from Dederon was incorporated. From 1972, plastic bottles were also produced in the factory; at the same time the production of Görzker brown tableware stopped. In 1968 the doll manufacturers also changed the raw material. In place of the previously used Buna latex, PVC was also used. The company became public property in 1972 and was initially run as VEB Puppenwerk Görzke, and from 1981 as VEB Mechanische Spielwaren Brandenburg. In 1973 there was a further specialization in LPGs of type II and III, which in 1989 farmed around 310 cattle, 420 pigs and 550 sheep. Thanks to a cooperation agreement, the jointly cultivated area increased to around 4,000 hectares. This went hand in hand with a specialization of the VEGs. The VEG Saatzucht Hoher Fläming , based in Schmerwitz , emerged from the VEG Görzke, Hagelberg / Lübnitz and Schmerwitz. The VEG campaigned for a further professionalization of the seed and plant material production, which was intensified in 1974 in the KAP Schmerwitz.

Saga world
There are numerous legends about the place , some of which the council of the municipality of Görzke presented in its chronicle as examples:
- A few years after the Wars of Liberation, a stranger came to the place and was interested in the ruins of the community. He recruited the forester's servant to march with him to Dangelsdorf that evening . There they dug in the corners of the old foundations of the field stone church until they came across a treasure. The stranger turned out to be a French soldier who had taken part in the Battle of Hagelberg. On his retreat he had hardly any horses left and so had to leave the war chest behind. For this he had chosen the old church ruins. According to the Görzker Chronik, there was a note from one of the gentlemen von Schierstedt in the Görzke village church in 1929. According to the records, he drove past the ruins on a November night in 1835 and saw a light there. The next day, residents found that three of the four corners had been dug. From this, the residents concluded that the stranger had found what he was looking for.
- According to ancient traditions, there is said to have been an underground passage between the castle wall and the upper courtyard . One day a trumpet player walked into the doorway and started playing his instrument as he went deeper and deeper into the hallway. Suddenly there was silence and shortly afterwards a completely dissolved trumpet player ran out of the corridor, died and therefore took his secret with him to the grave. According to tradition, the secret should only be revealed when a child of the von Schierstedt family is born with only one eye.
