geography

Grebs is located in the historic Brandenburg landscape of the Zauche about 6 km northwest of Lehnin , the administrative seat of the municipality of Kloster Lehnin. It borders in the north on Prützke , in the east on Netzen and over a very short distance on Nahmitz , in the south on Michelsdorf (all named places are districts of the municipality Lehnin) and in the south on Oberjünne (district of the municipality Planebruch ) and im Southwest and west to the community of Golzow .

The district of Grebs borders the Görnsee in the north-western corner . The place is divided into two parts by the Bundesautobahn 2 (Berlin-Hanover), which runs on stilts south of the church across the old town center. At the northern end of the former town center, the state road 88 runs through the town from west to east . It used to be the road connecting the Lehnin monastery and the city of Brandenburg an der Havel. Since the 19th century, the development has expanded especially along the L 88 to the west and also to the east. In the south, the place is being expanded along the connecting road to Michelsdorf.

The southern part of the district is mostly overgrown with forest, the so-called Grebser Heide . The 77.7 m high Raue Berg lies in the Grebser Heide.

history

Grebs is or was originally a north-south running street perch village with a fairly wide meadow in terms of the village structure . The green is lined with partly very old linden trees; the oldest trees date from the end of the 19th century.

The place was first mentioned in 1306, but only indirectly, as Grebticz . It belonged to family v. Rochow . The Rochow estates were confiscated by the Elector in 1414 and returned to the v. Rochows has been returned. In 1578 parts of the village initially came into other hands, and in 1664 the last Rochow shares in the village were sold. According to Reinhard E. Fischer , Brandenburgisches Namenbuch, p. 66, the name probably comes from a Polish basic form * Greb'-sk- dig, scratch, or a noun * greb = grave. The derivation from a basic Polabian form * Grab-sk- = hornbeam is less likely .

In 1375 the place had 60 hooves , the pastor 1½ free hooves and the Lehnschulze 6 hooves. The Schulze had to pay 1 mark (silver) instead of the horse. Each hoof gave 6 bushels of rye and 6 bushels of oats annually . Annual interest and charges were 5 shillings per hoof. There were five cottagers living in the village; each of them paid one shilling a year to the Schulzen. The courts stood the v. Rochow too. In 1451 only 33½ hooves were cultivated; Only one kossate lived in the village. Presumably the farmed hooves were also used as sheep pasture, since the only inhabitants of the village are only named "the shepherds". The village was settled again. In 1541 48 communicants were counted when visiting the village. Until 1608 the v. Broesigke built a knight's seat in Grebs. In 1624 12 hoof farmers, three farmers, a shepherd, a blacksmith, a couple of householders and a shepherd servant lived in Grebs. the farmers cultivated 53 hooves, the pastor had 1½ hooves. The Thirty Years War hit the place very hard. In 1652 the place had only five male residents, four hoof farmers and one Kossät. In 1669 the local lord had 25 hooves, for which no farmer could be found, moved to the manor. However, these hooves apparently only produced a low yield (“not worth 5 hooves”) and were exempt from taxes for the local owner. In 1682/3 the place had 23 sand hooves, 6½ of which were managed by the manor. At least there were two farms in the village. In 1745 13 farmers and three kossas lived in Grebs again. In 1772 there were 12 farmers, 12 cottagers and a blacksmith in the village. In 1801 the following were named: 12 farmers, a Lehnschulze, three Ganzkossäts, 14 Büdner, four residents, a smithy, a jug, a windmill and a forestry, a total of 43 fireplaces. The windmill stood at the end of the (today's) street Am Mühlenberg, but about 50 m north of the path in the fields. The area had a total of 53 farmer's hooves. In 1837 there were 45 houses in addition to the manor. In 1858 the village had 4 public buildings, 48 ​​residential houses and 68 farm buildings, including a flour mill. In the manor district there were 5 houses and 6 farm buildings. In 1900 the village and estate had grown to 88 houses. In Grebs, the manufacture of wooden clogs was an important trade. In 1900 the village school was built north of the church on the village green. During this time, the Tanne estate, which was still independent in 1885, also belonged to the Grebs estate. In 1909 the parish and manor district of Grebs were combined to form the parish of Grebs. The Tanne Vorwerk came to the Gollwitz manor district. In 1930 the school was greatly expanded to include the previous building. In 1931 there were 98 houses with 116 households in the village. In 1936 the Autobahn 2 was opened, which leads over the village green on stilts. In the course of the land reform in 1946, 210.43 hectares were expropriated and divided up. 13.5 hectares went to 11 agricultural workers, 63.9 hectares to 16 Buern, 76.7 hectares to non-agricultural workers, employees and craftsmen, 35.7 hectares to the VdgB and 18 hectares to the community. In 1954 the first LPG type III was founded. In 1957 it already had 10 members and 96 hectares of agricultural land. In 1960 this LPG had 85 members and 373 hectares of usable area. In addition, she had founded a type I LPG, which had 27 members and 119 hectares of usable area. It was connected to LPG type III after 1963.
