geography

Golzow is around 14 kilometers north of Bad Belzig and around 19 kilometers south of Brandenburg an der Havel on the Plane river . The place is located south of the Zauche between the Golzower Busch , which forms one of the few forest zones on the northern edge of the Belziger landscape meadows in the Baruther glacial valley , and the extensive forest area of ​​the Zauche. The Temnitz flows through the western municipality .

Community structure

The community of Golzow includes the inhabited parts of the community Grüneiche, Hammerdamm, Lucksfleiß and Müggenburg as well as the residential areas Königsberg and Pernitz.

history

A moated castle Golzow, located between the western slopes of the Zauche and the Hohen Fläming , was mentioned in a document in 1219: "usque bruch seu golsowe" (1236 and 1313 "Golzowe" , 1329 "Goltzowe" ). The latter document mentions Ludwig von Rochow for the first time , and in 1335 the brothers Wichard, Betecke and Hans von Rochow joined Margrave Ludwig the “Kapdung” (a wooded meadow south of Golzow between the Plane and Temnitz) and the town “ der Gelzowe " along with customs, the two mills, the Vorwerk, Weingarten, etc., for which they were compensated with other goods because they apparently were not mortgaged, but had the goods in pledge possession. After a few changes of ownership, the cousins ​​Johann, Henning and Wichard von Rochow released the possessions around 1350 and expanded the "Mickeburg" with its fortifications. Their expenses were so high that in 1351 the margrave felt compelled to leave them "the house and town of Golzow with fields, the wooden capedunk and the Havelbruch on the right arm" . At the same time he confirmed to them that they owned the goods that they already owned.

Golzow Castle around 1860 ( Duncker Collection )

The community then developed under the protection of the castle. Fires and wars destroyed the castle, on the ruins of which a mansion in baroque style was built in 1685 . It was destroyed at the end of the Second World War.

After the reunification of Germany in 1990, Golzow was also in a state of profound upheaval. The immediate decline of the LPG and other state-owned companies was followed by infrastructure renewal in the 1990s. Today you can find numerous retail companies as well as a large number of smaller craft businesses in Golzow . Despite the temporary decline in the birth rate, the “ Friedrich Eberhard von Rochow ” elementary school has been preserved. However, the secondary school of the same name was closed.

Golzow belonged to the Zauch-Belzig district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg since 1817 and to the Brandenburg-Land district from 1952 to 1993 (first in the GDR district of Potsdam , then in the state of Brandenburg). The municipality has been in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district since 1993.

In the course of the Brandenburg municipal reform of 2002 Golzow moved from the Office Lehnin in the office bridge and remained so exist as a separate community. The community representatives wanted to prevent Golzow from going up in the large community of Kloster Lehnin . Attempts to merge with the surrounding communities of Reckahn , Krahne , Cammer and Oberjünne had previously failed .
