Location of the city of Havelsee in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district

Havelsee [ ˈhaːfl̩zeː ] is a country town in the west of the state of Brandenburg with a little more than 3000 inhabitants. It is part of the Beetzsee office in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district and was created in 2002 through the voluntary merger of the city of Pritzerbe and the municipalities of Fohrde, Briest and Hohenferchesar in the run-up to the planned Brandenburg municipal reform in 2003 . In 2008 the village of Marzahne was added as the fifth district. The Havelsee is named after the Havel and Pritzerber See , which largely dominate the city.

geography

Geographical location

Havelsee district of Pritzerbe an der Havel

The city of Havelsee has an area of ​​81 square kilometers. It appears approximately in the shape of a triangle, the corners of which point to the south, northwest and east. The vast majority of the city is east of the Havel, which it flows through from the south in a north-westerly direction. The Pritzerber See is almost centrally located. Direct neighboring cities are the center city of Brandenburg an der Havel in the South as the main center of the region and the town of Premnitz in the northwest. Havelsee is located about 45 kilometers west of the federal capital Berlin and almost on the outer edge of the metropolitan region Berlin / Brandenburg . The bank of the Havel north of the Pritzerbe district is 28 meters above sea ​​level and is the lowest point in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district. The highest point of the Havelsee is on the border with the municipality of Beetzsee. This leads over the northwest slope of the 89.3 meter high Black Mountain at a height of 83.9 meters. The elevation is part of a range of hills in the east of the city, which is divided by the Fohrder Berg (67.6 meters), the Gallberg (68.2 meters), the Black Mountain, the Eichberg (74.7 meters), the Mühlenberg (70, 8 meters), the Rabenberg and the Fuchsberg (77.2 meters). Dry valleys lie between the hills. East of the range of hills is the Ice Age glacier tongue basin or the meltwater channel of the Marzahner Fenn.

City structure

The city is divided into five districts and three municipal parts. The districts are in detail: Briest as an old fishing village on the Havel in the south, north of it Fohrde between the southern bank of the Pritzerber See and the river, Hohenferchesar on the eastern bank of the lake and the former town of Pritzerbe between the northern bank of the lake and the Havel. The district of Marzahne is located away from the Havel and the lake in the east of the city. A part of the Havelsee municipality is Tieckow , which belonged to Fohrde at the time the city was founded . It is located about one kilometer southwest of Fohrde. Kützkow is the only part of the Havelsee on the western side of the Havel. The community part of Seelensdorf is located in the north in the Seelensdorfer Forest. There are also individual places to live. Namely named are the Kaltenhausen belonging to Briest south of the village and Kranepuhl north, about halfway to Tieckow. Tieckow has an old farm about one kilometer south of the village, the Tieckow colony residential area . The Rote Ziegelei , located on the Havel, belongs to Fohrde, the Heidehof to Pritzerbe and the Bruderhof to Hohenferchesar .

geology

The wooded edging moraines Eichberg, Schwarzer Berg and Gallberg

The western part of the Havelsee is located in an intermediate torrent valley that was formed in the most recent, the Vistula Ice Age , about 15,000 years ago through the runoff of meltwater and caused the deposition of fluvial valley sands . The Havel flows in this glacial valley, washing up new sediments. West of Kützkow and north of Pritzerbe there are two small ground moraine complexes that are surrounded by sediments from the old glacial valley. These sediments are interrupted in several places by extensive bog formations. To the northeast of the Pritzerbe – Fohrde line stretches a row of channel basins with the Pritzerber See and other smaller lakes. Further to the north-east, dunes cross the flattening valley of the gully until it disappears.

The eastern part of the Havelsee towards the Marzahne district lies on the ground moraine plateaus of the Nauener Platte . Rising from Hohenferchesar on the eastern edge of the Pritzerber See, the ground moraine plate extends eastward and finally forms a chain of hills with the edged moraine peaks Fohrder Berg, Schwarzer Berg and Fuchsberg with typical, predominantly gravel to fine-sand deposits. Between these terminal moraine complexes there are sandy meltwater sediments of the so-called pre-pouring phase. To the east of the range of hills lies a glacier tongue basin or a meltwater channel, the Marzahner Fenn , which is characterized by the formation of bog. South-west of the Black Mountain or southeast of the Gallberg begins the south-running glacial channel Bohnenland-Görden-Rinne . It runs about one kilometer in the Havelsee area.

Floors

There are different soils in the city area, with the western areas being dominated by different subtypes of the Gley . In the east of the urban area, on the other hand, brown earth and pale earth soils are predominant. North of Pritzerbe to the north of Marzahne a wide strip extending Podsol . There are extensive earthen fens in various places in the entire Havelsee area, in the northwest in the Pritzerber Laake , in the east in the Marzahner Fenn, south and east of the Pritzerber See, immediately west of Marzahnes, east of Briest and northwest of Pritzerbe on both sides of the Havel.

Havelsee is predominantly rural. Forest, water and arable land make up almost 90 percent of the urban area, with the largest share being agricultural land (42.4 percent). The proportion is below the national average of around 49 percent. At 39.2 percent, the proportion of forest areas, which makes up 35.6 percent throughout Brandenburg, is slightly above the national average. The largest forest area of ​​the Havelsee is the Seelensdorfer Forest , which takes up the entire northern urban area. At 7.2 percent, water bodies also have a significantly larger share of the total area than the national average of the state, which is already rich in water (3.4 percent). Only a small area of ​​the Havelsee is built on. The type of actual use of the areas in Havelsee is itemized in the table of land use 2012.

Waters

The most important body of water and the only river in the city is the Havel, which flows through the town from the south to the north-west in an old glacial valley . The river in Havelsee is classified as a federal waterway, part of the Lower Havel waterway and with inland waterway class  III. The biological water quality of the Havel reaches quality class II to III, which means that it is considered to be critically polluted. With the exception of an area in the north of the city in the Seelensdorfer Heide and the Pritzerber Laake, which belongs to the water catchment area of ​​the Great Havelland Main Canal , the city is the direct catchment area of ​​the Havel. Large areas bordering the river, especially areas northwest of Pritzerbes, are designated as two- or ten-year flood areas.

In the middle of the urban area is the largest lake on an area of ​​around 190 hectares, the maximum 6 meters deep Pritzerber See, which drains to the Havel. This lake is a eutrophic or weakly polytrophic stagnant body of water with very flat and muddy banks. The southern area between the districts of Fohrde and Hohenferchesar is completely silted up. Just like on the Havel, extensive bank areas on the Pritzerber See are two- and ten-year flood plains and are regularly under water. The inflow and outflow is restricted by a dam over which two bridges lead between the Pritzerbe and the Fohrde. In addition to the Pritzerber See, there are several smaller lakes in the city, such as the Kranepfuhl and the Weißen See . The White Lake northeast of the Pritzerber See is described as a weakly eutrophic stagnant body of water.

A large number of trenches run through the urban area, which were created primarily for the drainage of wetlands, moors and floodplains. Some of the trenches also serve to drain smaller lakes in the city. The Marzahner Fenn is drained eastward via a system of ditches to the so-called earth holes near Radeweg and on to the Beetzsee. In the main trench, the so-called Russengraben , there are three of the four weirs of this system in the urban area , which are used to regulate the runoff. Another trench system leads from the forest lake of the White Fenn Marzahne to the Pritzerber lake and takes water from the moorland west of Marzahne and from the White Lake. This drainage system is regulated by a weir just before Lake Pritzerber. The main trench of this system is called the Red Trench . The Bohnenländer See in the urban area of ​​Brandenburg is drained into the Havel south of Tieckow via a ditch. Within the Havelsee, the river called Eisengraben is controlled by three weirs and includes a drainage ditch from the Kranepfuhl. Another system of ditches, with which the floodplain of the Havel can be drained, is located northwest of Pritzerbe. There is also the only pumping station in the city, which can be used to irrigate higher and dry areas. The urban areas on the western Havel side also have their own ditch system to the Havel, the runoff from parts of the Seelensdorfer Forest and the Pritzerber Laake takes place in the direction of the Havelland main canal.

There are two designated drinking water protection areas in the city. The first with the city's waterworks is north of Pritzerbe. A second drinking water protection area in the south around Briest extends beyond the city limits to Brandenburg.

At the 2011 census , Havelsee had a population of 3,427. In the Potsdam-Mittelmark district only the cities of Niemegk and Ziesar have an even smaller population. The proportion of foreigners was 1.1 percent. 20.8 percent of the population or 714 inhabitants belonged to Protestant Christianity , 3.4 percent or 114 absolutely to Catholic Christianity. When asked about religious affiliation, the remaining population was summarized under “other, none, no information”, so that it is not possible to make a statement about other religious communities on the basis of these data. As of December 31, 2012, Havelsee had an estimated population of 3,349 inhabitants, a decrease of 2.3 percent.

Up until the 19th and 20th centuries, the regional dialect was a typical Brandenburg dialect that was spoken by the majority of the population in everyday life. In the time of Theodor Fontane, for example, this Low German dialect was still used in the area . In many words, p instead of f, t instead of s-sounds and k instead of ch. For example, they talked grot instead of big and Dörp held village. There were also differences in vowels such as ie and u instead of the diphthongs ei and au. So the house was a huus at that time . Starting in the second half of the 19th century, the language, starting from the cities, changed more and more from Low German to the Berlin dialect , so that today Low German around the city of Brandenburg is almost extinct. Exemplary for the language of the 20th and 21st centuries, au is spoken for o ( lofen instead of running) and z for voiceless s ( ssitrone instead of lemon). The frequent rewriting of the genitive like Gregor's car is also typical .

Prehistory and early history

The Havelsee area was already inhabited by people in prehistoric times. On the basis of archaeological finds, settlements in the area have been proven since the Middle Stone Age at the latest . In the area of ​​the Pritzerber See, numerous artefacts made of bones and antlers that could be dated to the Upper Paleolithic or Mesolithic times were excavated . These were, for example, an antler hoe, fish skewers, bony fish hooks and a buzzing device. There are also individual finds from the Pritzerber area from the younger Stone Age .

A burial mound to the north-east of the city dates from the Bronze Age , and the first settlements in the area of ​​the Briest district in the Bronze Age to earlier Iron Age (around 1000 to 800 BC) were found on the basis of grave finds . Furthermore, Bronze Age settlement remains near Hohenferchesar could be documented. Iron Age grave fields were found in the vicinity of the Pritzerber See. On the western side of the Havel near Kützkow and near Fohrdes, graves from the late Roman Empire were found. Several urn grave fields from various prehistoric epochs, from the late Bronze Age to the late Roman Empire, have been secured on the Gallberg . For example, one of the largest burial grounds of the first centuries AD in the Havelland was found. Among other things, an urn with a horse image and fibulae were found as grave goods . Large parts of the finds are now in a collection in the Jerichower Land district museum in Genthin .

In his work Germania , Tacitus described the area east of the Elbe up to the Oder as a settlement area of ​​the Suebian tribe of the Semnones . Apart from a few remaining groups, the Semnones left their old settlement area on the Havel in the direction of the Rhine before or at the latest during the time of the migration of peoples from the 3rd or 4th century . From the 5th or 6th century, Germanic settlement activity largely came to a standstill. There are only a few archaeological finds from this period up to the 8th century. At the beginning of the 8th century, Slavs immigrated to the area largely devoid of settlements after the Germans had emigrated . Remnants of the Germanic population went into the Slavic majority population. For example, silver jewelry finds in the area around Briest date from this period.

Early and High Middle Ages

Castle stable of the former episcopal castle Pritzerbe

After the Slavic castle of Brandenburg had been conquered by Heinrich I 20 years earlier , King Otto I established the Diocese of Brandenburg in 948 . In this context, the former town of Pritzerbe was first mentioned as civitas Prizervi . The emperor transferred the places Pritzerbe and Ziesar together with the surrounding lands to the bishopric or the episcopal imperial principality , the bishopric of Brandenburg , which he had newly founded . Since there was a revolt of the Slavs in 983 , in which Brandenburg and its surrounding areas fell back into the hands of pagan Slavs, the bishops from that time onwards lived formally in continuous occupation, but in exile in Magdeburg as titular bishops and had no rule over their areas in the east on the Havel. This condition existed for almost 200 years until 1157 Albrecht the Bear was able to recapture Brandenburg.

It was not until 1161 that the Pritzerbe was mentioned again. According to a confirmation document from Emperor Friedrich I from 1161, it formed the center of a castle district. The Prince-Bishop of Brandenburg had the Pritzerbe Castle built in the corner between the river and the Pritzerber See on the site of a former Slavic fortification to protect traffic on the Havel and the country road running along the east bank that connected Brandenburg with the Havelberg . This castle also served as the seat of the administration of the surrounding goods by a bailiff . Twenty-five years later, in 1186, the church village Hohenferchesar ("Verchiezere") was first mentioned together with Marzahne ("Marzane"). The Bishop of Brandenburg confirmed extensive property ownership to the cathedral chapter in the document. Parts of this property were the Hohenferchesars church , which belonged to the Burgward Pritzerbe, and the Marzahnes chapel. The latter was a branch church of Hohenferchesar. In 1194 the Bishop of Brandenburg transferred the entire village of Marzahne ("Merscane") to the cathedral chapter after the previous owner Rudolf von Jerichow's death.

At the beginning of the 13th century, probably in 1207 or 1208, there was a first church building in Pritzerbe, a Marienkirche, which was completely destroyed in later fires. From 1216 the city was next to Brandenburg and Ziesar repeatedly bishop's residence. The knight Daniel von Mukede was first mentioned in 1215 when he gave the Brandenburg cathedral chapter six hooves of land in the village of Marzahne "to maintain an eternal light" in the cathedral church. A church was built on the site of the chapel in Marzahne in 1217. In this context Hohenferchesar, whose branch church Marzahne remained, was described as lying in the land of Pritzerbe, " in territorio Pritzerwe". In 1220 Daniel von Mukede assigned a fiefdom of Count Siegfried von Osterburg and Altenhausen in Hohenferchesar with four hooves of land to the hospital of the Brandenburg Cathedral Monastery. In 1225 von Mukede in Pritzerbe transferred four Hufen land and a meadow to the cathedral monastery. The village of Fohrde opposite the Pritzerbe on the lake was first mentioned in a document on February 4, 1227 as "Verden". In this, the Bishop of Brandenburg, as feudal lord, once again confirmed a donation, this time three Hufen Land, by the later canon Daniel von Mukede to the Brandenburg Cathedral Hospital. Seven years later, on February 27, 1234, Pope Gregory IX confirmed . documented the ecclesiastical property in the " villa Vorden".

Late Middle Ages

Marzahne Church

The old fishing village of Briest, located in the south of the town of Havelsee, was first mentioned in a document in the late 13th century, 1294, as "Brisitz". In the certificate of mention, the old town of Brandenburg assigned fishing rights on the Havel to the Lehnin monastery as far as the village of Briest. A German settlement called Briest had existed since the 12th century, but was probably on the opposite bank of the Havel.

Based on archaeological finds, settlement in the area of ​​the village of Tieckow is assumed to be in the 9th to 12th centuries at the latest. The first documented mention of a "Tikow" comes from the year 1317, when it was assigned to the Brandenburg Cathedral Chapter together with the village of Weseram . Three years later a "Thikowe" was mentioned as villa Slavicas , as a Slavic settlement. It cannot be determined whether it was about two different Tieckow, a German and a Slavonic, or whether the same place was meant.

As the episcopal residence town , Pritzerbe was abandoned after the bishop's castle in Ziesar had been expanded in the 14th century . In 1336, the first documented flood occurred in the city after an Elbe dike broke near Jerichow . In 1341 a ferry connection to Fohrde across the Pritzerber See was described for the first time. According to the records, this had already existed "since ancient times" and was a good source of income for the bishop. Kützkow was first mentioned as Cusk and later as Kuczkow in the Magdeburg feudal registers after 1368. At that time it was the fiefdom of various vassals. In the registers, the families von Zille, von dem Werder and vom Rosenberg were named.

The villages of Briest, Fohrde, Marzahne, Tieckow and Seelensdorf were mentioned in Charles IV's land register of 1375. Briest was described as a fishing village with 14 hooves of land owned by the lord von Sandow. Until the middle of the 16th century, Fohrde was owned by the Diocese of Brandenburg, which temporarily gave it as a fief, and not the cathedral chapter. In 1375 it belonged to the fiefdom of a squire Gercke Kothe. At that time there was 30 Hufen land in Marzahne (“Mertzane”), and Claus Bochow was a tenant of the cathedral chapter there. The village of Tieckow had 12 hooves in 1375. The community part of Seelensdorf was first mentioned as Selingestorp. It comprised 26 hooves, 2 of which belonged to the parish and 24 to the local farmers. There were also six cottages in the village . Seelensdorf was in fiefdom of the von Brösigke family , who had their seat in today's Beetzseeheide, in Ketzür .

The ferry connection over the Havel between Kützkow and Pritzerbe, mentioned for the first time in 1385 and still in existence, was less important than the connection over the Pritzerber See. In the same year a church building was documented in Tieckow. In 1393, Seelensdorf came into the possession of the Brandenburg Cathedral Chapter, but was probably abandoned a little later, around 1400, and thus meanwhile a desert . Fishing remained an important source of nutrition along the Havel. In 1394 there were ten fishermen in Pritzerbe who had leased the fishing rights for the Havel and the lake. In 1399 there was a battle near Marzahnes between Magdeburg and Brandenburg knights, which the Magdeburgians were able to decide for themselves.

The village of Kützkow was in the fiefdom of the vom Rosenberg family in 1400, before parts of it were temporarily also part of the Brandenburg Cathedral Chapter in the further course of the 15th century. In 1417 there was a catastrophe in Tieckow when robber barons of the Archdiocese of Magdeburg plundered the place. Tieckow became a desert in the possession of the Premonstratensian monastery "Our Lady on the Mountain" on the Marienberg in front of the old town of Brandenburg. The city of Pritzerbe had been a market place since 1424 at the latest. There was an episcopal hunting ground near the city. Fohrde and Hohenferchesar were in 1450 in the feudal possession of a Lantin and Landin, who also had possessions in Butzow in today's Beetzseeheide. From 1463 Briest belonged to the estate or office of Plaue . The last tenants of Fohrdes under the Bishop of Brandenburg were the von Brösike family. In the late Middle Ages the Pritzerbe Castle was abandoned.

Under the Brandenburg Elector Joachim II and his son Johann Georg , ownership in the Havelsee area changed fundamentally. In 1539 Joachim II introduced the Reformation in the Electorate of Brandenburg and in the Brandenburg Monastery . His son Johann Georg was elected or appointed bishop of the diocese and thus imperial prince of the bishopric in 1560. In 1571 the previously partially sovereign bishopric of Brandenburg fell to the electorate or was absorbed into it. In this context, with the secularization, the church property in and around the districts of Havelsee passed to the elector. Due to the impending secularization, the last bishops' meeting took place in Pritzerbe in 1548. The city lost its status of a royal seat and lost its importance.

At the beginning of the 16th century the desert Tieckow was settled again. From the former medieval village one was Vorwerk with a sheep . In this context, the old Tieckow village church was renewed in 1518 after it had fallen into disrepair during the time of desertification. The soul village, which had also been abandoned in the meantime, was mentioned again in records in 1541. As in Tieckow at that time, there was also a sheep farm in Seelensdorf, and the place was later described as a Vorwerk.

Towards the end of the 16th century there were again some changes of ownership in the Havelsee area. In 1585 the Kützkow manor went to the von Plotho family for thirty-five years, and Tieckow was taken over by the owners of the Plaue manor at the end of the 16th century, with whom it remained for around 300 years. In Hohenferchesar from the 16th to the 17th century, the von Platow family were feudal takers of the elector. In 1598 there was the first documented major fire in Pritzerbe, which destroyed large parts of the city.

In the 17th century, the Thirty Years' War (1618 to 1648) also hit the Protestant Brandenburg. Among other things, Swedish troops penetrated the Havelsee area and destroyed the Tieckow Church, which was never rebuilt. Tieckow does not have a church today. The Briester church was also looted and damaged in this war. At the beginning of the Thirty Years War, in 1620, the manor and village of Kützkow passed from the von Plotho family into the personal property of the Magdeburg canon Christoph von Görne. In 1625 the Kützkow estates were declared a hereditary fief of his family. In addition to Kützkow, the von Görne family also took over Plaue and thus the villages of Briest and Tieckow. The von Görne family later included the Prussian finance minister Friedrich von Görne . It is known about this that he left Kützkow in 1710 in exchange for rule over Plaue, while from there his nephew Lewin Werner von Görne moved to the manor. The village community of Fohrde is documented from the early days of the Thirty Years' War, 1624, that it consisted of fifteen hoppers, seven farmers, a shepherd, a blacksmith and a few shepherds. A total of 42 Hufen land belonged to the place.

In 1674 there was another war with the Kingdom of Sweden , which at that time belonged to Pomerania, and the Havelsee was devastated. During the Northern War , Swedish troops from Pomerania invaded Brandenburg and in 1675 occupied the western Havelland, among other things. The city of Pritzerbe was looted. The looting of the church is recorded from the village of Briest. Before the advancing Brandenburg troops, the Swedes withdrew to the north, where it came to the battle of Fehrbellin . Only fourteen years after the looting, Pritzerbe was completely destroyed by a city fire in 1689.

In the first half of the 18th century, a few kötter and a windmill settled in Tieckow next to the shepherds. In the town of Pritzerbe, in the first half of the 18th century, in 1714, the excise , a tax on food and beverages as well as consumer goods, was introduced. In order to be able to collect this tax, the moat with bridges was built around the city and a palisade fence with five city gates was built at which it was levied. Nine fishermen were still counted in Briest in 1732, and according to records from 1742, Kützkow had a sheep farm, a mill, a brewery and a distillery.

In the later 18th century, in 1772, 185 inhabitants lived in Fohrde, and in the same year the village of Briest came from Plaue to the city of Brandenburg, who owned it until the 19th century. A year later there was another big fire in Pritzerbe, in which the church was completely destroyed again. It was able to be rebuilt within a decade, by 1783. Three years after the town fire, in 1776, the boatmen's guild was founded in Pritzerbe as a boatmen's and fishing guild. The von Görne family managed the Kützkow estate until 1782. Subsequently, from 1783 to 1805, the village and manor came into the possession of Countess Caroline von Eickstedt-Peterswald. In addition to Kützkow, she acquired an estate near Tieckow in 1783, which had only emerged a few years earlier. In later years, the Countess von Eickstedt-Peterswald donated a legacy of 155,000 thalers to the localities of Kützkow, Tieckow and Bahnitz .

Recent history

19th century map; recognizable the large number of brickworks and the ferry connections over river and lake

At the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, there were eleven fire pits in the village of Tieckow and three more in the Vorwerk. In Hohenferchesar at the same time lived a feudal mayor, ten farmers, seven cottagers, three cottagers, two boatmen and two carpenters. In addition, there was a forge, a mill and a jug in the village. After 1810, the Tieckow farming community took advantage of the Prussian reforms , bought the manor from the von der Recke family , who owned it at the time, and divided the property between them.

In 1815 provinces were formed in the Kingdom of Prussia after the Wars of Liberation and the associated political changes. Pritzerbe, Fohrde, Tieckow, Briest, Hohenferchesar and Marzahne were incorporated into the new Prussian province of Brandenburg , the border of which was marked by the Havel. Thus the western bank of the river already belonged to the province of Saxony , and Kützkow was the only part of the Havelsee to come to this province. A year later, the Westhavelland district was founded in Brandenburg and the Jerichow II district in Saxony , to which the places belonged.

In 1827 a fire destroyed the entire village of Hohenferchesar and with it the church, which could be rebuilt by 1831. In the entire area along the Havel and the lakes connected to it, there was an economic boom at the beginning and in the course of the 19th century and with the beginning and advancing industrialization in Prussia. Due to the rich clay deposits in the area and the proximity to the Havel transport route, several brickworks were built in the towns of Fohrde, Hohenferchesar, Pritzerbe, Briest and Tieckow, among others . The Tieckow brickworks in Kranepuhl, which opened in 1840, is the only one that still exists today as a building materials factory. The yellow clinker bricks, which were mainly burned in Kranepuhl, were loaded on site and transported by ship to the cities of Brandenburg, Potsdam and Berlin. A shipload usually consisted of around 40,000 to 50,000 bricks. Clinker production was continued in Kranepuhl until 1972. Then the factory switched from clay to other raw materials. Due to the economic boom through the brick industry, the villages grew considerably. For example, Fohrde consisted of 35 houses in 1840, and at the turn of the century 60 years later there were 101 houses.

From 1836 at the latest, shipbuilding was demonstrably carried out in the town of Pritzerbe. Up to six shipyards have been proven for the following decades. These were the Günther, Nethe, Heuser, Habedank, Schwarz and Paelegrim shipyards. Havelsee never had its own Jewish community. On the basis of documents, however, it can be understood that in 1844 there were two Jewish families living in the town of Pritzerbe who belonged to the Jewish community of the town of Brandenburg. In the 1850s Pritzerbe became a district town in Westhavelland for a short time and got a new municipal primary school building in 1853/54. On the opposite side of the Havel, the manor house on the Kützkow manor was rebuilt as a castle in Tudor style in 1857/58 . In order to reduce the financial risks in the event of failures, the Kahnversicherungs-Gesellschaft was established in Pritzerbe in 1876 for the many boatmen in and around the village. G. founded.

In the late 19th century, the actual village, the so-called colony, the Vorwerk and the Kranepuhl brickworks formed the residential areas of the village of Tieckows, and in 1897 the centuries-old ferry service between Fohrde and Pritzerbe was discontinued after the construction of a bridge for the road over the Pritzerber See . Two years later a skipper's school was founded in Pritzerbe. In 1904, Pritzerbe and Fohrde were connected to the German rail network with the private Brandenburg City Railway , which ran from Treuenbrietzen via Belzig , Brandenburg and Rathenow to Neustadt (Dosse) . Until then, liner steamers used to transport people on the Havel in the directions of Rathenow and Brandenburg.

From World War I to the 21st century

Kützkow Castle, which burned down in 1945

With the outbreak of the First World War , armaments and the military were established in what would later become the Havelsee. Due to the geographical conditions that allowed the large-scale installation of the Brandenburg-Briest airfield , the Brandenburg Aircraft Factory was founded near Briest in 1914. In 1915 these were renamed Hansa- and Brandenburgische Flugzeugwerke . Up to 1918, under the direction of Ernst Heinkel, around 1,300 aircraft were built in the works, mainly for the Navy. In addition, a flying school started operations on the airfield in 1916. At the end of the First World War, aircraft production was banned and the plant was dismantled.

After the World War, Julius Wilhelm Ferdinand Ebeling was tenant of the manor in Kützkow until 1933. In 1929 the shipbuilding era ended in Pritzerbe with the last ship to leave the Paelegrim shipyard. Two years later, the village of Fohrde consisted of 156 houses, and Tieckow was run as a rural community with the living quarters of the Kolonie and Kranepuhl brickworks. The last owner of the manor on Kützkow was Hermann von Schnehen until it was expropriated after the Second World War by the Soviet administration .

From 1929 the Brandenburg-Briest airfield was camouflaged and expanded, circumventing the provisions of the Versailles Peace Treaty . In 1936 the expansion into a school air base of the Wehrmacht air force began. In addition, Arado Flugzeugwerke set up an assembly plant on the square. The Luftwaffe's flight instructor school began training in April 1939 and lasted until shortly before the end of World War II. The Brandenburg-Briest airfield was occupied by several fighter pilot units. From January 1945 the elite association Jagdverband 44 was formed and the place to protect Berlin was integrated into the defense of the Reich. Brandenburg-Briest also served as an assembly and deployment base for the newly developed Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighter . On April 10, 1945, the 8th US Air Force attacked the airfield. There was also destruction in the village of Briest. Nineteen days later, on April 29th, the Red Army occupied the area. In other areas of the Havelsee, the greatest destruction also occurred shortly before the end of the war, when soldiers of the Wehrmacht, for example, destroyed the crossings over river and lake, the Havel ferries and the two bridges between Fohrde and Pritzerbe. In April and May 1945 there was fighting between German and Soviet troops around the Pritzerbe and at the crossings of the Havel. On May 4th, four days before the end of the war, the Havelsee area was completely captured by the Red Army.

Shortly after the end of the Second World War, Kützkow Castle burned down completely in May 1945 and was not rebuilt. In the course of the land reform in the Soviet zone of occupation from 1945 onwards , land that was larger than 100 hectares was expropriated and redistributed among the landless or poor population. This affected the manor of Hermann Wasmod von Schnehen with 487 hectares of land in Kützkow, the Heidehof estate in Pritzerbe with 150 hectares, four properties in Marzahne with 106 hectares, 128 hectares, 114 hectares and 148 hectares and one property in Briest with 135 hectares. Soils were also divided up in Tieckow, Fohrde and Hohenferchesar. On July 1, 1950, the villages of Tieckow were incorporated into Fohrde and Kützkow to Pritzerbe. For Kützkow, the incorporation also meant the change from the state of Saxony-Anhalt , which had existed since 1947, to Brandenburg and the Westhavelland district. In 1952 an administrative reform took place in the GDR, which was founded in 1949 . The states were dissolved and districts were formed for them. In this context, it was also necessary to restructure the existing circles. The Westhavelland district, to which the towns belonged, was dissolved and the communities were incorporated into the new Brandenburg (Land) district in the Potsdam district. From 1953, the collectivization of agricultural businesses, some of which were very small due to the land reform, in agricultural production cooperatives (LPG) also took place in today's Havelsee districts . In 1957, the Kranepuhl brickworks and the residential area moved from the community of Fohrde to Briest.

After the Second World War, an internment camp of the Interior Ministry of the Soviet Union (NKVD) was set up at the Brandenburg-Briest airfield until 1948 . From 1949 it was restored and served as a base for the group of Soviet armed forces in Germany . Were stationed to 1953 and to 1956 Jagdflieger- attack aircraft units . In October 1956, the newly founded air force of the National People's Army with the helicopter training squadron 35 (later helicopter training squadron 35) and the helicopter training squadron 34 (later transport helicopter squadron 34 "Werner Seelenbinder") with Mil Mi-8 and briefly also the helicopter squadron 64 with Mil Mi-8TB and Mil Wed-24 Brandenburg-Briest. The 64th squadron was relocated to the Cottbus-Nord airfield at the end of 1982 . After the dissolution of the NVA , parts of the air transport wing 65 of the Bundeswehr Air Force used the airfield at times before it was withdrawn from military use and rededicated as a special airfield. In 2009 it was deedicated and finally closed.

With the political upheavals of 1989 and 1990 there were again changes. In 1990 the Potsdam district was dissolved and merged into the re-established state of Brandenburg. After reunification, the new district of Potsdam-Mittelmark was founded in 1993, into which the district of Brandenburg was merged. In the run-up to the Brandenburg municipal area reform planned for 2003, Pritzerbe and the municipalities of Fohrde, Briest and Hohenferchesar voluntarily merged to form the city of Havelsee on February 1, 2002. The official date for becoming a town was May 1st, 2002. Havelsee is a town because the town charter passed from Pritzerbe to the new foundation. On January 1, 2008, Marzahne moved from the Beetzsee community as the youngest district to Havelsee.

City and place names

The area around the Pritzerber See in the Schmettauschen map series

The name Havelsee for the city was chosen because a new foundation including all merger-willing places and no incorporation was intended. A new name should make this clear. Since the Havel and the centrally located Pritzerber See are decisive for the city, the decision was made on Havelsee.

The name of the old town of Pritzerbe, like that of most of the surrounding villages, is of Slavic origin. Pritzerbe was first mentioned as " civitas Prizervi". It is believed that the name contains the Polish word cerv , which means something like maggot or worm. Furthermore, it should mean red color, red substance. Thus, Pritzerbe is believed to be the place where scale insects occurred, from which red dye was extracted. In the course of time the documented place name changed from "Prizervi" to "Pritzerwe" and to Pritzerbe. Kützkow is also of Slavic origin and means something like "place of residence of a man named Kucek". The place was first mentioned as "Cusk" and later as "Kuczkow". Seelensdorf is a German or Germanic name. "Selingestorp" was mentioned in the first mention. It is said to have been the "village of Seling", which apparently meant the founder of the village.

Fohrde developed from the Middle Low German word vore or vörde for passage, passage, ford or forward for narrow access, narrow dam path , water passage, ford. Fohrde was first mentioned as "Verden" or "Vorden". In the 18th century the place was called “Föhrde” in the Schmettauschen map series. As the ending suggests, Tieckow originated from Slavonic. The place name can be derived from the personal name Tik or Tyk and describes the place of residence or the place of residence of the person. In the first two mentions of "Tikow" and "Thikowe" were mentioned. A little later the place was written "Tykov". In the Schmettauschen map series of the late 18th century the village was called "Tiekow".

The name Hohenferchesar developed from the Polish words verch for upper part and jezer for lake. The name can therefore be translated as “place located at a height by the lake”. For the first time there was talk of "Verchiezere". Over the centuries “Verchiezere” first became “Verchesar” and finally “Ferchesar” in certificates, documents and maps. However, since there is a place of the same name near Rathenow, both were distinguished by the prefixes Hohen- and Nieder-. However, the Hohenferchesar in Havelsee was originally called Niederferchesar, while the prefix Hohen- was used for the district of Nennhausen, which is still called Ferchesar today . It was not until a government official made a mistake that Hohenferchesar got its current name in 1901. Marzahne was first mentioned in a document as "Marzane". The name Marzahne is probably derived from the Polish word morcane for swamp. Over the centuries, “Marzane” became “Merscane”, “Mertzane”, “Merzane” and “Marczan” in documents. In the second half of the 18th century the village was called "Marzahn". Briest is believed to be derived most closely from the Polish word breza for birch. It was first mentioned as "Brisitz". The name changed often in the first few centuries and developed into "Brisic", "Brysitz", "Breist", "Bryst" and "Brist".

Sightseeing and tourism

Rentable houseboat on the Havel in Havelsee

In Havelsee, due to the direct location on the river, water tourism and water sports tourism are of increasing, also economic importance. Sailing and swimming opportunities and a water ski trail are located directly in the city's river and lake area. Water hikes along the largely natural and protected Lower Havel and its side waters are popular with tourists. For several years now, trips and vacations in rented houseboats without a license on the river and its adjacent lakes have been increasingly offered and in demand. The Untere Havel is a route of various providers for river cruises . Many Brandenburgers have their weekend and holiday homes in Havelsee and along the river. The Havel cycle path has been touching the city since 2009 . Coming from the south, it leads along the river through Briest, Tieckow, Fohrde and Pritzerbe, with the ferry over the Havel to Kützkow and leaves Havelsee in a northeastern direction. In Kützkow and Hohenferchesar there are campsites directly on the Havel and Pritzerber See.

Buildings

Sights are the historic town center of the over 1000 year old Brandenburg town of Pritzerbe with several listed farmsteads and houses ( Dammstraße 18 , Dammstraße 20 , Havelstraße 8 and Mühlenstraße 4 ) and the St. Mary's Church, which was rebuilt after a fire and consecrated in 1783, “Our dear women “ With an organ by Joachim Wagner from 1737. In 2006, in the parish farmstead Marktstrasse 6 , which is also listed , an approximately two hundred year old half-timbered barn was restored. From the episcopal castle Pritzerbe only a castle stable , the later Mühlberg at the southern end between the federal road 1 and the Havel road, is visible.

Remler organ in the Fohrde church

In Fohrde is the so-called Villa Reichstein or Villa Fohrde, a classicist former summer villa of the Brandenburg factory owner Reichstein. The village church Fohrde is a simple baroque plastered building from 1765 with a choir , nave , a small transept and a west tower with a dome . Inside the church there is a wooden altar wall. The organ was built in 1861 by the Berlin organ builder Wilhelm Remler . It stands on a wooden west gallery, slightly bulging around the organ, above the entrance, which is richly decorated with paintings. The homestead at Fohrder Hauptstrasse 7 has a rich frieze with small consoles and a cornice under the eaves . The portal has pilasters with flowery capitals and an ornate roof with coats of arms.

Church and school building in Tieckow

The most important sights of Tieckow are the old church and school house and an old farmhouse , which was built around 1780. The one-story house from the 18th century has a small windowless kitchen, in which the original brick floor, on which the fire burned under a tripod, has been preserved. The smoke moved freely into the well-preserved chimney, where food was smoked and preserved over the cooking area.

Wooden cornice of the Marzahne village church

The choir of the village church of Marzahnes dates from the 13th century. The rock-stone nave and the late-Gothic brick church tower were probably added in the 15th century. After the village church burned down in 1607, the area of ​​the medieval choir was raised by a striking wooden beam cornice and brought under a common and uniform roof with the ship. In the church there is a rococo pulpit. In the 18th century the windows of the nave were structurally changed. In 1831 a hipped roof was added to the church tower , which was provided with a ridge turret. This roof turret had to be removed in 1996 due to the risk of collapse and is now in the courtyard of the church. In 1953 a community room was added to the nave and choir on the south side. The lead glazing in the chancel and behind the pulpit altar was made according to designs by Hans Joachim Burgert.

Neo-Romanesque village church Briest

The Hohenferchesar Church was consecrated in 1831 after the previous building burned down completely on March 29, 1827. It is a very simple plastered building with a windowless three-sided choir and a square west tower with a pyramid top. In the church there is a richly decorated gold-plated silver chalice from the 17th century, set with precious stones. Opposite the church is the old rectory, which is also a listed building . The interesting, neo-Romanesque church building in the Briest district dates from 1888/89 . This was made of bare bricks. In 2013 the building was profaned due to high investment and restoration requirements and thus permanently withdrawn from church use. It is to be sold in private hands.

The list of all listed architectural sights can be found in the list of architectural monuments in Havelsee . The ground monuments are listed in the list of ground monuments in Havelsee .

Museums

Loom in the Pritzerbe pipe weaving mill

The last pipe weaving mill in Germany works in Pritzerbe. It has been located in the former rifle house east of the city since 1945. In it, harvested reeds are woven into reed mats and other products on special looms acquired by the former owner and manager Georg Wellendorf. In October 2013, a museum was opened in the pipe weaving mill, which in an exhibition deals not only with craft but also with local history. The museum is open to visitors on weekends in the workshop and the craft workshop is open to visitors during the week.

The museum ship Ilse-Lucie is moored in the port of Pritzerbes , a large-scale barge built in 1927 . This barge, which was formerly built in the town, was bought and expanded in 2011 by the Pritzerber Schifffahrtsverein in 1776. The opening of the Pritzerber Maritime Museum on board the Ilse-Lucie , in which the history of the local shipbuilding and shipping company is shown, was on May 17, 2015.

Protected areas

Natural monument common horse chestnut on Seelensdorfer Damm

Over 80 percent of the area of ​​the city of Havelsee are designated as partially overlapping protected areas. For example, the city is mainly located in the area of ​​the Westhavelland Nature Park. There are also other protected areas in Havelsee. Some extend beyond the city limits in proportions. The protected areas in Havelsee are three nature reserves , two landscape protection areas , one nature park , three protected landscape elements , one area natural monument , four natural monuments , two SPA areas (European bird sanctuaries) and four FFH areas (flora-fauna habitats). In addition, other areas are designated as protected biotopes and some streets as protected avenues.

Westhavelland Nature Park

With the exception of the southern third of the Havelsee, the city is part of the Westhavelland Nature Park , which extends along the Lower Havel . With an area of ​​1,315 square kilometers, this is the largest protected area in Brandenburg and includes one of the largest contiguous wetlands in inland Europe and Central Europe. It is the largest resting and breeding area for waders and water birds inland. Furthermore, the wetlands are one of the largest inland resting places for Nordic migratory birds. In spring, thousands of green and diving ducks rest on the lakes and flat flooded meadows . Large flocks of waders look for food before moving on to their northern and eastern homes. Sometimes, however, the birds also find suitable breeding areas there, and so the lowlands of the nature park are home to the largest proportion of the highly endangered and endangered meadow breeders in Brandenburg. The curlew , lapwing , black-tailed godwit , redshank , snipe and the corncrake nest in the reserve . Also breed there endangered species of ducks like the shoveler , the teal and the Gadwall . Pintail ducks are also native there. Of birds of prey there are sea and fish eagles , kites and Montagu's Harrier . The ruff is the heraldic animal of the Westhavelland Nature Park. In the autumn months gray geese and cranes roam the nature park. In addition to the large number of birds, beavers and otters also live in the Havelsee area on the Havel .

Marzahner Fenn and Dünenheide nature reserve

The Marzahner Fenn

The Marzahner Fenn in the east of the Havelsee is part of the nature reserve Marzahner Fenn and Dünenheide. This 725 hectare nature reserve is characterized by a close spatial relationship between different habitats. There are near-natural alder and pine forest communities on nutrient-poor locations, bodies of water, slight mountain ranges with only extensively used dry valleys, so-called dwarf shrub and dune heaths, small fens, wet meadows and wet meadows. Due to the different habitats, a large number of partly endangered plant, bird, reptile and amphibian species live in the protected area. According to the German Nature Conservation Union , 78 of the 156 vertebrate species found in the Marzahner Fenn and Dünenheide are considered endangered. The area represents an ecological link between the Beetzsee and Riewendsee in the east, the Havelniederung in the west and the Havelländischer Luch in the north. Some of the animal and plant species living in the nature reserve are osprey, spotted eagle , tree falcon , snipe, quail , crane, great gray shrike, sand lizard , grass snake , spadefoot , moor frog , newt , purple loosestrife and milfoil . The nature reserve Marzahner Fenn and Dünenheide is in its entirety part of the European bird sanctuary (SPA area) Middle Havelniederungen and in the northern area part of the FFH area Weißes Fenn and Dünenheide. It is part of the European Natura 2000 network of protected areas .

Untere Havel Süd nature reserve

Untere Havel Süd nature reserve

The nature reserve Untere Havel Süd has existed since 1994 and 2009, respectively, has an area of ​​3933 hectares and its southern parts are located in the Havelsee urban area. It is a passage area for Nordic geese and various species of ducks and waders. Characteristic for the area of ​​the Lower Havel are the multitude of flowing, standing, temporarily flowed through and temporary bodies of water. Typical large, nutrient-rich shallow water lakes such as the Pritzerber See are surrounded by diverse silting zones, which are followed by large, moist meadows and pastures. More than 1000 endangered or endangered animal and plant species can be found in the lower Havel lowlands due to the high density of different habitats. Up to 90,000 white-fronted geese and bean geese rest on the Lower Havel. Other species found in the reserve are white- tailed eagles, white storks , redshanks, curlews, ruff, mute swans , whooper swans , pygmy swans , beavers, otters, grass snakes , crested newts, moor frogs, natterjack toad , cornflower , marsh spurge , peat pea and god's pea . The nature reserve Untere Havel Süd lies entirely in the European bird sanctuary Niederung der Unteren Havel and part of its area in the FFH area Niederung der Unteren Havel / Gülper See.

The Pritzerber Laake nature reserve, which was designated in 1994 and covers an area of ​​1270 hectares, is located in the north-west of the Havelsee in the Lower Havel valley. During the last ice age, a meltwater channel formed in which the wetland is located. The primary form of vegetation are alder forests with the predominant downy birch in an area that is unique for the state of Brandenburg. In the swamp forests there are some small bodies of water that formed in former clay pits, from which the raw material for the surrounding brickworks was extracted. These anthropogenic lakes are the habitat of rare animal and plant species. Beavers and otters live in the nature reserve. The quarry forests are broken up by sand ridges with pine and oak forests . The mixed deciduous forests are home to strictly protected species such as stag beetles , black storks and white-tailed eagles. There are also rare bat species such as the pug bat that settle in the old trees and a large number of red deer . Other species native to the nature reserve are crane, bitterling , crested newt, marsh orchid , umbel , flesh-colored orchid, king fern and water feather . 511 hectares of the Pritzerber Laake nature reserve belong to the FFH area Pritzerber Laake and the European Natura 2000 network of protected areas.

economy

Tourism is playing a growing economic role , with nature and water tourism developing more and more. The reasons for this are the wealth of largely natural waters (primarily the Havel) and forest areas. When there is no ice, Havelsee can be reached all year round by private boats via the river and the waterways connected to it. In Havelsee there are only small and medium-sized companies. In the district of Fohrde there is an asphalt plant and a mortar plant, in the district of Kranepuhl, which belongs to the district of Briest, there is a building block plant. A recycling center is now located on the former Fohrde landfill, which was built in a former open-cast mine for waste disposal primarily for the city of Brandenburg an der Havel. There are five designated mining areas in the city . Three are on the B 102 south of Fohrde am Fohrder Berg, and one each is on the L 98 south of Marzahne am Eichberg and north of Marzahne on the city limits of Nennhausen. They are used to extract sand and gravel in open-cast mining. The Brandenburg-Briest solar park has been located on the site of the former Brandenburg-Briest airfield since 2011 and was the largest solar park in Europe at the time of its completion. It consists of 383,000 modules and is designed for peak outputs of up to 91 megawatts.

Agriculture

Agriculture is an important economic factor in the city. 3453 hectares of the city's land are used for agriculture. This corresponds to a share of 42.4 percent. The natural conditions for arable farming are to be assessed differently. On the one hand, sandy, dry and nutrient-poor soils dominate large areas, on the other hand, large areas of former moorland are productive. The agricultural areas between Fohrde and Tieckow are described as an area with a very high yield potential. Further agricultural areas with high yields are located around the Pritzerber See, on both sides of the Havel from Pritzerbe, in the Marzahner Fenn and in the Pritzerber Laake.

forestry

Sawmill in the Seelensdorfer Forest

There are 3182 hectares of forest in Havelsee. The largest contiguous forest areas are the Seelensdorfer Forest, which still predominantly belongs to the Brandenburg Cathedral Monastery , and the Pritzerber Laake. The Domstiftsforstamt cultivates around 1800 hectares of forest. The vast majority of the Havelsee's forestry areas are planted with pines, 1,400 hectares of which are in the cathedral's own forest. The Havelsee pine forests are mostly single-tier pure stands, so-called age-class forests. The background to this is that in the first two decades after the Second World War, extensive clear cuts took place, which were increased again on a monoculture basis with the stipulation of maximum timber production. In recent years, however, a forestry restructuring of these forests can be observed. Monocultures are increasingly being abandoned and the development of more natural deciduous mixed and deciduous forests is being promoted instead. The Pritzerber Laake is an exception within the Havelsee. As a moor and alder quarry forest, it is Havelsee's only larger, contiguous deciduous and mixed forest area and is located in the north of the city. The Brandenburg Cathedral Foundation operates its own sawmill in the Seelensdorfer Forest.

fishing

Commercial fishing in Havelsee

The waters in Havelsee take up 585 hectares or 7.2 percent of the area of ​​the city. Fishing has a tradition going back thousands of years in the districts of the city near the river. There are still three commercial fisheries in the urban area that catch, prepare and sell Havel fish. Two are in the Briest district and one in Pritzerbe. Commercial fishing is carried out on the Havel and Pritzerber lakes and is carried out extensively with fish traps and set nets . In addition, the larger and smaller waters of the Havelsee are still fished privately from the shore or from boats.

Infrastructure

traffic

Commercial shipping on the Havel in Havelsee

Havelsee has connections to the three most important modes of transport road, rail and waterway. It is located on the federal highway 102 , which leads from Luckau to Bückwitz and has connections to the A 2 and A 9 federal motorways . The state road  962 from Fohrde via Tieckow and Briest connects the federal road 102 with the federal road 1 through the city area. Other state-owned main roads in the city are the state road 99, which leads from Pritzerbe via Marzahne in a northeast direction to Märkisch Luch and the state road 98, which comes from Brandenburg through Marzahne in the north to Nennhausen. From the L 98, the state road 982 branches off north of Marzahne to Garlitz in the municipality of Märkisch Luch. The only district road Havelsee, the K 6953, leads from the state road 99 to Hohenferchesar.

Port of Pritzerbe

Havelsee is located with some port facilities on the Lower Havel, a section of the Lower Havel waterway and a formerly important and busy inland waterway between the largest German cities Berlin and Hamburg . The waterway has inland waterway class III in the urban area. This means that vehicles and associations up to 67 meters in length and 8.25 meters in width are permitted in this area. Directly in the flow direction below the city boundary Havel lake is located in a piercing the lock Bahnitz . The Bahnitz barge lock at a barrage, the Bahnitz weir on the city limits, was originally on the right bank in Havelsee. When the weir was modernized, however, the old building was demolished and a new barge lock was built on the Bahnitzer side by 2011. On the Havelsee side of the weir, a fish pass was built in place of the old barge lock .

While the river in the Havelsee area used to be the main traffic route for a large part of the commercial shipping between the Port of Hamburg, the industrial areas downstream and the cities of Brandenburg and Berlin, this picture has now changed. Due to the far-reaching de-industrialization in the east and the relocation of the traffic routes away from the Elbe, regardless of the water level, to the Elbe side and the Mittelland Canal , commercial shipping on the river section steadily declined in the years after the fall of the river. It no longer plays the role of earlier decades. However, there was a very strong increase in sport and recreational boating. The port facilities in the Havelsee urban area include the city port of Pritzerbes with a landing stage for passenger ships, marinas for motor and sailing boats and the quays at the building materials plant in Kranepuhl.

Local public transport

The city of Havelsee has been part of the Berlin-Brandenburg Transport Association (VBB), the largest transport association in Germany , since 1999 . As a surrounding municipality, Havelsee is assigned to tariff zone C of the city of Brandenburg an der Havel. The regional train and regional bus connections in Havelsee can be used in the VBB tariff. Fifteen bus stops and two train stations or stops are served. There is also a ferry connection across the Havel between Pritzerbe and Kützkow.

Regional train

On the single-track regional train line (RB 51) between Brandenburg and Rathenow, the Pritzerbe train station and the Fohrde stop are located in Havelsee . In 1904 the city was connected to the German railway network via the private Brandenburg city railway. The original route led from Treuenbrietzen in the south via Belzig , Brandenburg, Rathenow to Neustadt (Dosse) in the north. After the Second World War, the company was taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn . In the decades that followed, the Treuenbrietzen – Belzig section, later also Belzig – Brandenburg and Rathenow – Neustadt, were shut down, so that the Brandenburg – Rathenow section, on which the Havelsee lies, is the last section of the former Brandenburg urban railway that is in operation. From 1993 the Deutsche Bahn AG provided the transport services on the route. Between 2003 and 2005, the section was renovated for 55 million euros and put back into operation on June 27, 2005. From 2007 to December 2011 the Ostseeland Verkehr operated the route as MR 51. Since December 2011, the Ostdeutsche Eisenbahn operator, which initially referred to the line as OE 51. Since 2012 it has been listed as the RB 51 again. The route is used in local passenger transport with Stadler GTW railcars .

Regional bus transport

Three regional bus connections to the neighboring cities of Brandenburg an der Havel and Premnitz and to the communities of Beetzsee and Bensdorf are primarily used for school transport. The operator is Verkehrsgesellschaft Belzig  mbH (VGB) based in the district town of Potsdam-Mittelmarks. The bus line 564 connects Brandenburg via the municipality of Beetzsee with Havelsee, the line 570 Brandenburg via Havelsee with Bensdorf and the line 571 Brandenburg via Havelsee with Premnitz. On all three lines there are connections without any frequency on working days (excluding Saturdays) in the early morning and afternoon hours. In some cases, even during the week, traffic is only limited to school days. For example, line 571 is only served during school hours. Lines 564 and 570 run only two days a week and are thinned out during the school-free period.

Havel ferry

Ferry on the bank of Kützkow

The Pritzerbe ferry , which is not free, runs between the Pritzerbe and the Kützkow part of the municipality . A ferry connection at this point has been in existence since 1385 at the latest, when it was first mentioned in a document. In the early centuries the Fährkähne were first over the Havel punted . Since the late 18th century, changes of ownership of the ferry were recorded in the town's land registers. In 1788, the ferryman Johann Friedrich Hartwig acquired the rights to the ferry connection from the Royal Chamber of War and Domains in Magdeburg. These rights came to the merchant August Wilhelm Friedrich Hartwig through inheritance in 1818 and to his widow Caroline Friederike, née Hintze, in 1834. She sold her rights in 1855 to the merchant Wilhelm Gottlieb Robert Hartwig. In 1883, the district president of Diesberg approved a chain or cable ferry. An annual recognition fee of five Reichsmarks was charged for operating the ferry on a ferry cable . On December 27, 1922, the ferry was sold to the manor owners Gustav von Schnehen from Kützkow and Botho von Knoblauch from Buschow and to the businessman Friedrich Stimming from Pritzerbe in equal shares. On July 3, 1925, the Pritzerbe-Kützkow e. V. Pritzerbe the ferry. On September 7, 1932, the town of Pritzerbe became the owner.

At the end of the Second World War, the ferry was blown up by German troops, so that a new ferry had to be procured after the war. The tenants were Wilhelm Schwarz, Fritz Dammasch and Walter Wernsdorf, who worked in three shifts. The new ferry was led on two ropes and pulled with so-called wooden clamps. Towards the end of the 1950s, a motorized ferry was used for the first time, which was powered by a single-cylinder diesel engine until 1990. In connection with an increase in the rent after the ferry was motorized, the leases were given up. The operator was initially the city of Pritzerbe and is now the city of Havelsee. Schwarz and Dammasch later gave up the ferry service, Walter Wernsdorf worked as a ferryman in the service of the city of Pritzerbe. In 1991 the ferry was again replaced by a new building powered by a diesel engine. This motor acts via a coupling on sprockets on a long chain laid across the river. The ferry vehicle pulls itself on this chain over the Havel. A wire rope serves as a guide and safety device. Four ferrymen are currently employed by the municipality. In the summer months with the greatest number of passengers, up to 500 people and 100 vehicles are crossed every day.

Educational institutions

Listed primary school building in the Pritzerbe district

The only school in the city is today's elementary school "Johann Wolfgang von Goethe", among other things in a listed brick building built in 1853/54 on Kirchstrasse in the Pritzerbe district. In the elementary school , the Havelsee pupils are taught until the end of the sixth grade. The Pritzerber School was only an elementary school and has been named after Goethe since 1949 . From 1958 to 1992 it was a ten-year polytechnic high school and was then converted into a primary school. The closest secondary schools are in the cities of Brandenburg and Premnitz.

The Villa Reichstein in the Fohrde district is now called Villa Fohrde, an educational and conference center run by a non-profit association. Seminars and other events are offered and carried out in the facility. Between 1950 and 1992 the former August Bebel School was housed in the building .

Public facilities

In Fohrde and in Pritzerbe there is a kindergarten, in Pritzerbe there is also an after-school care center. The Havelsee volunteer fire brigade consists of the volunteer fire brigades of the local and community parts. There are fire stations with fire engines and emergency vehicles in Briest, Fohrde, Hohenferchesar, Kützkow, Marzahne, Pritzerbe and Tieckow. There is a fire watch tower in the Seelensdorfer Forest .

The town hall of the town of Havelsee is located in the town hall of the former town of Pritzerbe. There is also a police post in Pritzerbe, but it is only manned for a few hours one day a week.

Medical institutions

Pharmacy in Pritzerbe

A general practitioner practice in Fohrde and a general practitioner and a dental practice in Pritzerbe ensure basic medical care in the city. There is also a pharmacy in Pritzerbe. Physiotherapeutic practices are located in the districts of Pritzerbe and Marzahne.

The closest hospitals are in the city of Brandenburg. The municipal clinic serves as a hospital for special care. The Sankt-Marien-Krankenhaus is a geriatric, the Asklepiosklinik a neurological and psychiatric special hospital and the Heliosklinik Hohenstücke a neurological rehabilitation facility. For the emergency services are rescue stations in Brandenburg and Bollmannsruh (municipality Paewesin ) responsible. The nearest rescue helicopter location is also in the city of Brandenburg.

media

The daily newspaper with the best-selling circulation in Havelsee is the Märkische Allgemeine based in Potsdam. The local editorial office, which is also responsible for Havelsee, is based in neighboring Brandenburg an der Havel. In addition to the Märkische Allgemeine, there are also the two free newspapers, the Brandenburger Wochenblatt (BRAWO) and the Preussenspiegel , which publish regional and local news, which are financed by advertising . The most important local online news and information portal is Havelsee.de , which has been in operation since 2007 .
