history

The name Goliz is derived from Golica , which means settlement on a bare, bare place . Golica as a field name means the heather, the bare place .

Notation in the change of the centuries:

1173-1262: Goliz
since 1375: Golitz
since 1854: Gohlitz

In earlier times the Niebecksche See stretched between Gohlitz and Wachow, but it slowly silted up. The remains of the lake can still be recognized today by the lowland that separates the two villages. Only in 1870 this was bridged by the construction of the road .

Gohlitz was one of the oldest settlement areas in the Havelland. Based on Slavic finds in the locality, one can assume that Gohlitz emerged from a Slavic settlement.

The village was first mentioned as Goliz in a document from Bishop Siegfried from 1173. Until 1244 it was owned by the sovereigns, who finally sold it to the Lehnin monastery . It remained here until the monastery was secularized . In 1542 he came to the office of Lehnin . In 1624 there were already twelve farmers and five kossas .

The Thirty Years War left its mark. Since Gohlitz is on the road between Nauen and Brandenburg, the village was robbed, looted and murdered. They recovered, but with the second invasion of the Swedes in 1675 there was again plunder and destruction as well as violent fighting in the Gohlitzer Heide. The final victory over the Swedes came in Fehrbellin .
But the small village also quickly recovered from the aftermath of the war. This is how the Gohlitz windmill was built in 1707 by master miller JP Hünecke. It stood on the left side of the village exit to Niebede on a small elevation.

In 1768 Wachow and Gohlitz were assigned to the office of Nauen -Berge. In 1840 31 houses were registered in Gohlitz. In 1860 there were 34 residential buildings, three public buildings, 73 farm buildings and 335 residents.

In 1905 Westhavelland got the first above-ground telephone lines. The postal system did not develop in the Havel district until the end of the 19th century. But as early as 1635 there was a daily messenger mail from Tangermünde to Spandow (Spandau). This route led from Rathenow via Groß Behnitz, Schwanebeck, Markau, Wernitz, Wustermark to Spandau . Another Poststrasse was the Berlin-Hamburger Post- und Heerstrasse. At the latter there were post milestones, on which the traveler could read the distance of the places and the nearest post office. One of these milestones still stands on the western part of the Gohlitz Forest today.

Gohlitz came to the village of Wachow on July 1, 1950 and is now a residential area in this district of Nauen .

The municipality of Wachow received its own coat of arms in 1996. Three golden crowns of foliage symbolize Wachow, Gohlitz and Niebede, they indicate the siege of the Swedes during the Thirty Years' War. The flower symbolizes the heather around the district of Gohlitz, the cross stands for the Wachow church, and the horse motif serves as a symbol for Niebede. The nearby Riewendsee is symbolized by the blue background. As a result of the municipal reform, the municipality of Wachow with its districts of Niebede and Gohlitz became part of the city of Nauen.

The church

Gohlitz village church

The Gohlitz Church was the mother church until 1459 and became a daughter church from 1541. The wide, mighty tower and the western part of the church are medieval (15th century). The eastern part and the pointed arch windows are baroque. The ceiling is now smoothly plastered. In 1701 the church in Gohlitz received its first bell (354 kg) and in 1716 the second (893 kg). It received its organ in 1773.

Due to the rapid demographic development at the end of the 18th century, the church had to be enlarged. Thus, in 1810, it was lengthened 16 feet on the side of the altar. For this purpose, a wall was removed and changes were made to the pulpit altar, the gallery and the stalls.
