Location of Groß Neuendorf in Brandenburg

Groß Neuendorf is a district of the municipality Letschin in the Märkisch-Oderland district in Brandenburg , located on the eastern edge of the Oderbruch on the border with Poland .

geography

Geographical location

Groß Neuendorf is located on the left, western bank of the Oder . The middle of the Oder marks the border with Poland and thus the eastern border of Germany, the state of Brandenburg, the district of Märkisch-Oderland and the municipality of Letschin. Groß Neuendorf is slightly elevated in the Oderbruch. Nevertheless, without the Oder dam it would be constantly threatened by flooding.

geology

The glacial valleys washed out by the ice age water masses left behind extensive rift and swamp areas. The Oderbruch emerged as part of the Thorn-Eberswalder glacial valley around 20,000 years ago. Due to the meeting of the Oder and Warthe in Küstrin south of Groß Neuendorf, the course of the Oder was originally more westerly. Alluvial debris and debris was deposited like a bar in the north of the Oderbruch. That is why the Oderbruch was regularly flooded in spring after the snowmelt and in summer during thunderstorms (“Midsummer flood ” around Midsummer Day (June 24th)). From 1735, but especially between 1747 and 1762, the Oder was dammed and the Oderbruch drained with a drainage system.

Historical summary

Finds from the 1st century suggest that a Wendish settlement was the forerunner of Neuendorf. Germanic settlement began in the 12th century. Groß Neuendorf, which originally emerged from a fishing village , was first mentioned in documents in 1349 under the place name " Cruschzik" . “Cruschzik” could also mean the village of “Kruschke” near Neuendorf. In the document, on January 3, 1349, Margrave Ludwig the Elder rewarded the provost of Bärwalde Dietrich Mörner and his brothers and heirs for services rendered with the villages "Orthwig" and "Cruschzik". In 1405 Michael von Sydow is said to have bought the towns of "Villas Orthwick" and "Cruschzik" from the Zellin brothers, Otto and Asmus Mörner. This document was lost; a copy 100 years younger is said to be in the archive of the royal government at Frankfurt (Oder); there, however, in the High German spelling "Neuendorf".

Drainage of the Oderbruch

With the drainage of the Oderbruch under Prussian King Frederick the Great , the main source of income for the inhabitants shifted from fishing to agriculture, especially cattle breeding. As part of Friedrich II's settlement plans for the drained areas, the owners of a house (“house people”, Häusler , Büdner ) were given 30 acres of land in 1754 , which amounted to an increase in status. From 1756 onwards, new settlers (the new householders) built their houses in a semicircle around the core village with the approval of the royal manor through the Zellin office. The new settlers were farmhands, day laborers, artisans and younger sons of farmers and householders. In 1799, 21 house people emigrated to Klein Neuendorf (today part of the municipality of Sietzing, Letschin). In 1861 Groß Neuendorf reached the historical high of the population. A number of traders, tradespeople and craftsmen had settled in the core village. At that time there was the first house numbering from 1 to 43. Of the numbered houses, only one was in Groß Neuendorf itself, the others were spread over the districts of Busch, Kruschke and Aufbau. In 1864 there were 42 expanded farmsteads, 162 residential buildings, 21 commercial buildings and 389 tax-free buildings in Groß Neuendorf. The village gradually lost its importance over time.

A war memorial by the sculptor Heinrich Wefing for the fallen soldiers of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 was unveiled in 1897. It has been missing since 1950. A Friedensmal was erected on the base in 1959.

1966 disused station (2016)

Groß Neuendorf was connected to the Oderbruchbahn between Müncheberg and Wriezen on October 18, 1912 . Groß Neuendorf had a station building and a siding that opened up the port. Operations were interrupted between April 1945 and September 1948. The line was closed in 1966 by the Deutsche Reichsbahn .

In 1940 there was a severe flood in which 1 m thick ice floes were pushed over the dike.

From the end of the 1920s to 1945 Groß Neuendorf experienced a renewed boom. In 1945 there were 90 boatmen in Groß Neuendorf, 42 farmers with more than 20 hectares of land, 35 ship owners, 5 bakers, 5 basket makers, 5 grocery stores, 4 restaurants, 4 fishermen, 3 haberdashery stores, 3 tailors, 3 shoemakers, 3 butchers, 2 blacksmiths , 2 carpenters, 2 clog makers, 2 roofers, 2 plumbers, 2 painters, 1 hairdresser, 1 rope maker, 1 potter, 1 saddler and a malt factory. There was an extensive club life with rifle guild, cycling club (with Kienitz), fishing club, war club ( First World War ), German labor front (DAF), boat guild (approx. 199 members), singing club of the SPD , singing club of the German nationalists and a gymnastics club.

End of World War II

Towards the end of the Second World War , the front between the Red Army and the German Wehrmacht stood on the Oder for two months. The village and the surrounding area were under constant fire. The Oder dam was criss-crossed by bunkers and trenches. The fields had been mined, dug up for trenches and contaminated with broken tanks, other vehicles, weapons, ammunition and other war material. In the core village, 89% of the buildings were destroyed. There were arson, rape and shooting of residents and refugees from the eastern areas. After the end of the war in May 1945, only 240 inhabitants gradually returned to the village. Mostly women and children, as the men died or were captured. The residents were called upon by the Soviet administration to work together to clear the roads and fields. Quite a few lost their lives while recovering mines and ammunition. Through the ordinance of the Province of Brandenburg on the land reform of September 6, 1945, some farmers received 3-5 hectares of land from the Kienitz office.

Oder flood disaster in 1947

The winter of 1946/1947 was severe and snowy. On the night of March 22, 1947 , the Oder dike broke north of Reitwein in two places at 100 m . Almost all the inhabitants of the Oderbruch were evacuated, mostly to nearby places such as Schulzendorf or Buckow. Groß Neuendorf itself was largely spared from the flood, as it is somewhat elevated. However, the fields were soaked and had to be recreated. The 42 farms organized in the Association of Mutual Farmers Aid (VdgB). From other parts of the country, such as Thuringia or Saxony, donations came from the local farmers. Mostly cattle, such as chickens and cows, were donated.

Economic development between 1945 and 1989

In 1948 a machine rental station (MAS) was set up in Groß Neuendorf , where farmers could borrow agricultural machines. After 1950, a state-owned, state-owned collection and purchase company (VEAB) was set up in Groß Neuendorf, replacing the cooperative Raiffeisenbank as the " buying hand" for agricultural products. In the Groß Neuendorfer VEAB, the farmers from the neighboring villages also delivered their products. Each farmer received a cultivation plan, a livestock rearing plan and a "debit" fee from the state management. Surpluses could also be delivered as “free peaks”. Almost all community members kept pigs, cows and cultivated individual areas. The purchase in a collection point for fruit, vegetables, poultry, rabbits and eggs in the village was until 1989 a part-time source of income for Groß Neuendorfer.

According to the decision of the 2nd party conference of the SED in East Berlin from July 9th to 12th, 1952 to form agricultural production cooperatives (LPG) , the farmers should unite on a voluntary basis. Since this did not lead to the desired results, the pressure was increased slowly. As a result, some large farmers left their businesses and went to West Germany. The reasons were a tax “should” that could not be met, political disputes and the increasing pressure to join the LPG. The so-called “ devastated farms” that were left behind were managed by the remaining farm workers, coordinated by the local council. In 1953 37 farm workers and two employees founded an LPG in Groß Neuendorf, which was named "Progress". In the district of Kruschke the LPG " 8. Mai " was also founded. In the spring of 1960 the collectivization of agriculture was forcibly terminated by a campaign by the SED; in Groß Neuendorf there were no longer any individual farmers. The LPG became the largest employer in the village. A building brigade was formed to set up pigsties, a sheepfold and houses in the village and on the road between Groß Neuendorf and Ortwig. After there had been cooperation with agricultural businesses in neighboring villages from 1969, the " Cooperative Plant Production Department (KAP)" was formed in 1973 . The fields of agriculture were separated from the farms and operated by the KAP, which specializes in plant production. The cattle ranches became independent businesses. They set up an "inter-company facility for heifer production". In the district of Kruschke, a facility for up to 2,400 animals was built for 3.5 million marks . The KAP was converted into an LPG plant production (LPG (P)) in 1978. The changes imposed “from above” in a relatively short time and the obvious disadvantages of some measures such as the strict separation of plant and animal production led to a discontent that never completely subsided until 1989.

In 1981/1982 there was a threatening flood , which however could be controlled with great effort.

After the turn

After the reunification and peaceful revolution in the GDR , monetary, economic and social union and German reunification , there were also considerable upheavals in Groß Neuendorf. The LPG plant production was dissolved and divided into three independent companies: Kienitz , Ortwig with Neubarnim and Gieshof-Zelliner Loose. After the LPG was dissolved in 1991, the Agrargenossenschaft e. G. ODEGA ( Ode rbruchgemüse ga rten) founded. For the first time since the 1930s there was unemployment again. LPG employees lost their jobs. In addition, there were unemployed people from closed state-owned companies. After the fall of the Wall there were countless job creation measures (ABM), but they were not a permanent solution. In addition, the agricultural sideline became uneconomical. A social gap developed between those who had jobs and those who didn't. The unemployment rate in 2003 was 25%.

At the same time, however, investments were made in the village infrastructure. With subsidies, the construction of a central sewage network was started as early as 1991, which was able to put into operation in 1994 after the commissioning of a sewage treatment plant on the outskirts. Streets were redeveloped and in 1993/1994 the Jewish cemetery was restored. On June 1, 1994, a children's playground was opened. The street lighting was renewed.

The municipal council decided on tourism as a new, important employer. As part of an ABM project, a visitor guidance system with information boards about the history of the places of interest was created. The 1997 flood of the Oder spared Groß Neuendorf; as a result, the Oder dike was completely renovated. In 1998, a pier for passenger shipping was opened at the bulwark.

Oder floods in 1997 and 2010

In the summer of 1997 , the Oderbruch was in danger of total flooding for several weeks. The Oder dam threatened to break in several places over 90 km. On July 19, 1997 alone, 150 Bundeswehr soldiers were deployed in Groß Neuendorf. On July 31, 1997, the Groß Neuendorfer gauge broke the maximum limit of 6.00 m. It was not until August 4, 1997 that the water level fell for the first time.

The 2010 Oder flood showed higher water levels than in 1997, but was far less threatening because of the flood protection measures that were implemented after the 1997 flood.

Jewish history

Jewish cemetery (2013)
Synagogue and residential building (2016)

Groß Neuendorf had a Jewish community with its own synagogue and a Jewish cemetery , both of which have been preserved to this day.

The Jewish grain wholesaler Michael Sperling bought a summer house in Groß Neuendorf in 1832 for 380 thalers. In the middle of the 19th century he opened a branch of his company in Groß Neuendorf. The company expanded and brought people of Jewish faith into the village as workers. In 1847 an initially private Jewish community for Groß Neuendorf and Letschin was founded in Letschin. It became an independent Jewish community in 1853. At the instigation of Michael Sperling, the Jewish community acquired a piece of land for a Jewish cemetery just outside Groß Neuendorf in 1855. The oldest surviving tombstone, however, dates back to 1842. Also in 1855, the municipality decided in a statute that its jurisdiction was identical to the police district of the Wollup domain office . In addition to Letschin and Groß Neuendorf, members also lived in the villages of Klein Neuendorf, Kienitz, Gerickenberg, Sophiental and Ortwig. Lehmann Baumann was one of the co-founders of the Letschin-Groß Neuendorfer community. Originally from the Jewish community of Wriezen, he moved to Landsberg an der Warthe in 1855 . In addition to his job as a businessman, he also worked as a circumciser . His circumcision book, which contains entries from 1833 to 1871, has been preserved in the original. From 1833 to 1854 the entries refer to Wriezen and the surrounding villages in the Oderbruch, after 1855 to Landsberg aW

The Letschiner merchant and long-time chairman of the board Herz Hartwich died in 1864; Michael Sperling was his successor. At his instigation, the Jewish community moved its headquarters to Groß Neuendorf in 1864. This was only possible if at least 10 adult men of Jewish faith lived in the village. In 1865 a prayer house was built and a Jewish teacher was employed who also lived in the village. The teacher's half-timbered house has not been preserved. The synagogue was built as an extension of the workers' house of Michael Sperlings (today 32 street of friendship). It cannot be seen from the street as it is covered by the apartment building.

Michael Sperling's wife Betty died in 1865; he himself only a year later. Her son Julius opened a grain shop in Berlin in 1876 and a branch in Groß Neuendorf in 1886. Julius Sperling's son Waldemar died on his 69 birthday, according to an obituary notice of his son Dr. Michael Sperling from November 16, 1929 can be found. Michael founded a grain stock corporation in Berlin NW 7 as well as a subsidiary "Gesellschaft für Landhandel" based in Wriezen in the 1920s. He fled to Cuba in 1939. His entire fortune was confiscated by the National Socialist state.

In 1882 the Jewish community had only 14 male adult members. In 1895 the community was dissolved by order of the authorities. The Jewish residents in the villages of Amt Wollup were included in the Seelow synagogue district. The Groß Neuendorfer synagogue was still used; the last service was celebrated in 1910.

The last Jewish residents, two elderly women (one of whom was called Frau Baumgarten), are said to have been picked up by the police in 1943 or 1944. Their further fate is not proven.

The house of the Sperling family had been converted into an apartment building after the end of the Second World War. In 1982 it was completely destroyed in a fire.

The cemetery was still undamaged in the 1960s. In the 1970s, individual tombstones were misused to pave a nearby path. In 1986 the cemetery was desecrated. In 1992 the cemetery was in a completely neglected state. Many tombstones were broken and overturned. From 1992 to 1994, the stones and the cemetery were restored with the help of YMCA youths and Ethiopian asylum seekers. In 2008, the cemetery was documented in pictures and text as part of the Jewish cemeteries project in Brandenburg .

Building history

church

Church in Groß Neuendorf (2013)

Around 1200 the church in Groß Neuendorf was assigned to the Knights Templar . Because the old burial church was in disrepair, a new church was built in 1703. A year later, squire von Sydow received permission to found a parish. In 1706 a one-story wooden rectory was built. A silver-plated baptismal font dates from 1707. Three of the bells that exist today were donated in 1708.

The church that still exists today was built in 1850 by master builder Emil Flaminius . The tower was renovated in 1934. The Evangelical Church in Groß Neuendorf was badly damaged by the advance of the Red Army in 1945 following the battle of the Seelow Heights . The church was rebuilt from the 1950s to the 1960s. The nave with the rectory below could be preserved, the tower was demolished. The bell is in a wooden shelter opposite. In 1949 the parish received an organ. The entire building was completely renovated in 1997 with funding from the state of Brandenburg.

Port facilities

Port facility (2016)

The first quay wall in Groß Neuendorf was built in 1909. Two years later there was the second quay wall and two years later the first loading crane. The second loading crane followed in 1928. The first loading tower was built in 1940. The second loading tower was built in 1953 on behalf of VEAB Groß Neuendorf by the “Design Office for Structural and Industrial Construction Chemnitz of the Ministry of Construction ” as a “Tower for pneumatic ship and wagon loading and unloading”. The transshipment took place on wagons of the Oderbruchbahn until 1971 , then on trucks. In 1973 the railway was stopped. A third loading crane was completed in 1982. From 2003 onwards, the facility was converted for tourist use.

Gasthaus on the Oder

The Gasthaus An der Oder was first mentioned in 1733. The first owner known by name was Phillipp Cosband. A later successor, the master carpenter and timber merchant Martin Mielenz, rebuilt the house and opened a restaurant in it. After a few more changes of ownership, the Matthesius family ran the inn and farm until 1920. In the following year, Willy Eckert from Frankfurt (Oder) bought both for 32,000 Reichsmarks. He had a hall and a bowling alley built. After his death in 1934, his widow Johanna, née Pommer, took over the property. At the end of the Second World War, the property was destroyed and later not rebuilt. There is a seating area there on Speicher / Dorfstrasse in 2016.

Gasthaus Zum Schwarzen Adler (visitor center with country woman café)

Country women's café (2016)

It is assumed that this inn goes back to the oldest village mug in the village. In 1756 a Georg Eichner bequeathed his son the house, garden and barn, for which he had to pay an estate of 200 thalers. This in turn was inherited in 1805 by his mother-in-law Anna Eichner. After another inheritance in the family in 1823 (450 thalers inheritance), the property went to Karl-Ludwig Pehlemann (4,174 thalers) in the middle of the 19th century. His daughter married Karl Friedrich Zabel from Werbellinsee (8,500 thalers inheritance). The inn remained in the Zabel family until 1904. When the war memorial by the Berlin sculptor Heinrich Wefing was unveiled in 1897, the inn could hardly accommodate the many villagers and guests of honor, including District Administrator Kaspar Heinrich von der Marwitz and the Reichstag member and landowner Gustav Haake from Letschin. In September 1902 the entire roof structure burned; a month later the stable. Shortly before the death of the widow Zabel, the inn was sold in 1904 to a Peter Leisten from Werneuchen. The latter renamed it 'Hotel Zum Schwarzen Adler'. The ship owner Otto Vogler took it over in 1921. A hotel guest named Harri von Brandis stole 100 marks from Otto Vogler in 1927. Vogler and his sons presented him the next morning; von Brandis was arrested by the gendarmes Frühbus and Seel. He turned out to be a robbery who had escaped from Hamburg. The hotel remained in the possession of the Vogler family until 1945. Up to the turn of 1989 there were many, at first also private tenants. A couple Zick took over the house in 1990. In December 1993, however, it cleared the entire inventory and moved to Portugal to spend his old age there. The local government tried to buy the vacant house. In 1995 it was found that the buildings had never been publicly owned, but that Otto Vogler was still in the land register. The community bought the "Black Eagle" with a usage date from April 1, 1998. The house was converted into a tourist visitor center. The “Rural Women's Association Mittleres Oderbruch”, founded in December 1997, leased the “Black Eagle” and opened a Rural Women's Café on May 29, 1998 in the building at Alte Dorfstrasse 24 . The café has been privately operated since 2011 at the latest - but has kept the name.

Gasthaus Zum Sportplatz (Galerie Koch und Kunst)

Galerie Koch und Kunst (2016)

In 1826 the merchant Wilhelm Torges bought a small, sandy cave from the farmer and schoolboy Christian Friedrich Steffen and built a restaurant on it. The driver Karl Hoffschild took it over from the Torges family in 1880; but let them go. After the First World War, a machine shop was housed in the building. A Walter Voigt reopened the restaurant in 1927; but gave it to the ship's owner Karl Kunert as early as 1931. The inn and shop flourished. Max Schmeling and Anny Ondra stayed here when they were visiting relatives in Groß Neuendorf. Until 1945 there was a gas station in front of the house. After a department store was opened in the village in 1969, the Kunert family closed the store that had existed until then.

The photographer Stefan Hessheimer and the art therapist and food coach Kerstin Rund opened the “Galerie Koch und Kunst” in the house Poststrasse 12 in 2000 , in which exhibitions, photo and cooking courses take place.

Gasthaus Zur Schöne Aussicht (Pension Oderblick)

To the beautiful view (ca.1916)

Probably Michael Rochlitz built a househusband's place on the property between 1700 and 1733 . An inn was later set up, which in 1873 went to Wilhelm Menzel. In addition to the inn, he also ran a business. As he was well known in shipping circles, he had goods such as herrings, coffee and other colonial goods delivered directly from Szczecin and sold them to other merchants in the area. He had the stable behind the house on the embankment converted into a warehouse. On January 30, 1895, a fire destroyed the house. Wilhelm Menzel set about having the property rebuilt. However, he died shortly before completion, was laid out in the newly designed taproom and transferred to the churchyard with great sympathy. His son Franz Menzel continued the construction and took over the business. After his death in 1923, his widow Anna, née Kunert, took over. Their daughter Elfriede married the businessman Franz Stefanides and in 1940 both took over the restaurant and shop. The shop existed until a department store was opened in the village in 1969. The restaurant had to close in 1973.

Personalities

The church musician Helmut Krüger worked at the churches of Groß Neuendorf, Kienitz and Ortwig . He published the experiences he gained there in 1967 in the book “Small Choir - Very Big” .

The theologian Hannelotte Reiffen was a pastor in Groß Neuendorf from 1947 until her retirement in 1967. With part of the fortune inherited from her mother, she restored the destroyed church.

The author Anna Schober (1847–1929) lived in Groß Neuendorf since 1879.

The grain wholesaler Michael Sperling (* 1803 in Bernstein / Neumark ; † April 9, 1866 in Groß Neuendorf) donated the Jewish cemetery and the synagogue and financed the railroad track to the Oderhafen.

coat of arms

On the initiative of the local chronicles at the time, a coat of arms was created in the mid-1980s in cooperation with the mayor who was in office at the time, based on the community seal that was valid around 1930, which served as a template for the coat of arms of Groß Neuendorf that has been in effect since 1997. In this coat of arms the tree (an elm ) and the bees were preserved in a slightly modified form. There was no scythe and meadow. Instead, Groß Neuendorf should also be reflected as a village of fishermen in the coat of arms through water and pike. Since the tree that was the godfather of the seal no longer existed, a new tree was planted in its place (where Alte Dorfstrasse and Oderstrasse meet) when the coat of arms was created (1986).
