history

Bell tower

In archaeological excavations on the district a settlement exposed from the Prehistory and the Iron Age. They are protected as a ground monument and at the same time prove the early settlement of the region. Around 1200 the place belonged to the Magdeburg ministerials von Richow . They sold Gotzdorff to the Zinna Cistercian monastery in 1285 . This document is also the first written mention of the place. The Cistercian monks determined the fortunes of the place from now until 1553. In 1459 the spelling was Godekendorf , in 1480 when a watermill was mentioned Godtstorp and Gottstorg ; 1562 Gotsdorff . In the Thirty Years' War the place fell almost completely desolate in 1632 . Only the mayor and a kötter were left. In 1637 the spellings Gatzdorf and Gazdorf appeared . In 1750 - the place was now Prussian - the inhabitants were given permission at the behest of Friedrich II to keep sheep with 27 other villages in order to produce wool. The number of residents increased: from 1772, 12 farms , a kötter, a Büdner , a cow and a horse herdsman as well as a schoolmaster and two millers are handed down. There must have been a modest upturn in the following decades. It led to the fact that in 1837 there were two water mills, two looms were operated and seven male and three female servants have survived. There were 20 houses. In 1840 there were already three weavers; In 1858 there were three public buildings as well as 24 residential and 44 farm buildings. In 1875 the Berliner Bergbau-Actiengesellschaft was granted the concession to mine lignite in three fields named Nette, Thieme and Gustav I in the districts of Nettgendorf, Zülichendorf and Gottsdorf. However, it doesn't seem to have happened.

In 1883 the residents planted a linden tree on the Schulanger in honor of Martin Luther . A year later a wildlife park opened. On May 8, 1888, a barn and a stable burned down in the village. The bell tower was destroyed in another fire on February 3, 1893 . In 1900 there were 32 houses in the village, which were inhabited by an old man , a man and a blacksmith, eight hofers, a headmaster, a chef and innkeeper, a teacher, a master painter, a journeyman mason and a pensioner. At that time there must have already been a mug .
