Location of Grand Fathers in Brandenburg

Groß Väter is part of the municipality of Groß Dölln , which has been part of the town of Templin in the Uckermark district in the state of Brandenburg in the Federal Republic of Germany since 2003 . The place is located on the Großer Vätersee in the protected Schorfheide-Chorin biosphere reserve . Grand Fathers emerged from a fence setter (first mentioned in 1718) on the Großer Wildzaun in the Schorfheide , which was converted into a Vorwerk in 1723. In 1749 a colonist village was founded instead of the Vorwerk. At first, Groß Väter and the neighboring Bebersee formed one community, and around 1782 they became independent communities. Grand Fathers lost his independence on January 1, 1960 when it was incorporated into Groß Dölln.

history

Around 1660, the Great Elector began to rebuild the so-called "Great Wild Fence" from the Havel to the Oder, which was laid out in the middle of the 16th century and which was destroyed or dilapidated in the Thirty Years' War, to prevent the game from migrating to Mecklenburg or moving to the north to prevent lying cultivated land. To maintain this fence, a total of 12 fence-setting points were created along the game fence. The Schulze von Groß-Ziethen took over a position for a fee, the other fence setters were rebuilt by clearing the large forest area.

18th and 19th centuries

In 1718, Martin Muhme's post at the Wildzaun in the Reiersdorf forest district was first mentioned. At that time he had 74 acres of fields (1 acre of 400 square rods) by the house and the Barsluch, 2 meadows by the Döllnfließ and 1 acre of garden. He kept 14 cows in the cleared land. The forest originally belonged to the Zehdenick monastery and came to the Zehdenick office after the monastery was secularized . In 1723 the fence setter was converted into an outbuilding that was leased to the former fence setter Martin Muhme. Further land was cleared for this purpose. In 1736 the Vorwerk had 217 acres of land (180 square rods acres), including 190 acres of arable land, 25 acres of meadow and 2 acres of garden. In 1749 the plan was made to create three colonist villages, Kurtschlag , Groß Väter and Bebersee . In Groß Väter and Bebersee the farms were closed and distributed to farmers. Initially three Reformed Palatinate families were set up in Groß Fathers, and five families in Bebersee. The two colonist villages initially formed a community, Schulze was a certain aunt (the above Martin aunt or his son). The name of the colonist village was based on its location on the north bank of the Great Vätersee , whose name is of Slavic origin.

In 1782 the unified community was dissolved, Groß Väter and Bebersee were now independent communities. Life in the village was shaped by agriculture, forestry and fishing. The Große Vätersee formerly belonged to the Zehdenick monastery , later to the Zehdenick office and then to the treasury. The fishing rights on the Großer Vätersee were sold to the Berlin fishing family in Groß Väter in 1806. In 1929 Paul Berlin owned the fishing rights in Groß Fathers. The size of the managed water area is given as 247 ha. Other lakes were certainly included in this area, because the Große Vätersee only covers 12 hectares.

The Schorfheide during the Nazi dictatorship

After 1933, the Schorfheide came into the focus of the National Socialist rulers. Hermann Göring valued the region with its hunting opportunities and had the representative Carinhall property built there. In 1936 the Schorfheide and with it Grand Fathers were declared a national nature reserve. Around 50,000 hectares have been fenced in, numerous paths have been closed, and fishing on the lakes has been banned.

During the Second World War , the communities of Groß Väter, Groß Dölln and Bebersee lost 45 war dead. The villages themselves were spared from acts of war. On April 28, the Red Army reached Grand Fathers. Two days after Hitler's death, Goering had Carinhall blown up.

GDR time

Between 1952 and 1956, in the direct vicinity of Grand Fathers, the largest military airfield in Europe was built by the Soviets , which, according to the authors of the Groß Dölln village chronicle, only brought disadvantages with it, for example the constant threat from unsafe war technology or extreme noise pollution .

In 1960 the communities of Groß Väter and Bebersee were incorporated into the community of Groß Dölln . In 1968 the Ministry for State Security took over the forester's house Groß Väter to expand a rest home for its employees. In 1976 Grand Fathers received a central water supply; until then the water had to be drawn from wells.

After the political change in 1989

The state security convalescent home was taken over by the Evangelical Church in 1990 and converted into a recreation center for families, schools and clubs as the Groß Väter See holiday village. In the same year, the Schorfheide-Chorin biosphere reserve was founded in the state of Brandenburg as part of the GDR's national park program . This sanctuary also includes grandfathers.

In 1992 the citizens' initiative Schorfheide e. V. with the main task of helping to transform the former Soviet military airfield Groß Dölln into a peaceful, nature and environmentally friendly use. In 1994 the CIS armed forces finally cleared the nearby military airfield. Today the Driving Center Groß Dölln GmbH is located here , which uses a large part of the former flight operations area. Driving safety training courses are held in the Driving Center. The Templin - Groß Dölln solar park was built on the remaining site in 2012 and went online in 2013. Air traffic no longer takes place.

Communal history

At the time of its establishment, the place belonged to the Zehdenick office , which performed administrative and police duties. Grand Fathers was then in the Uckermark district of the Mark Brandenburg . In the district reform of 1816/7, the Uckermark was divided into the three new districts of Angermünde , Prenzlau and Templin and assigned to the new province of Brandenburg . Grand Fathers came to the Templin district at that time. In 1872 the Zehdenick office was dissolved, and its tasks were transferred to the Templin district and the new administrative districts. In 1874 Grand Fathers was assigned to the district 14 Reiersdorf of the district Templin. In 1929 parts of the manor district of Forst Reiersdorf were attached to the then rural community of Groß Väter.

In the district reform of 1952 in what was then the GDR , the old Templin district of the Brandenburg province was essentially divided into two districts, the new Templin district and the Gransee district. Grand Fathers stayed with the newly cut Templin district. In 1993 the three districts of Angermünde , Prenzlau and Templin were merged to form the district of Uckermark.

In 1931 the community of Groß Väter also included the forest house Groß Väter (about today's street name Groß Väter 34). After the Second World War, Klein Väter was built as an additional place to live , but the forester's house is no longer designated as a separate place to live. On January 1, 1960, Groß Fathers was incorporated into Groß Dölln and has been part of Groß Dölln ever since. After the political change in 1990, Groß Dölln merged with 13 other municipalities in 1992 to form an administrative community, the Templin-Land Office . On October 26, 2003, the Templin-Land office was dissolved by law and the communities belonging to it were incorporated into the city of Templin. Since then, Groß Dölln has been a part of Templin, Groß Väter and Klein Väter are only parts of the municipality of Groß Dölln and therefore have no local political representation of their own.
