geography

history

Urn grave fields from the Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age have been found in the district of Heiligenfelde.

Heiligenfelde was first mentioned in a document in 1235 as Heilighenuelde in connection with an exchange of goods between the Margraves Johann and Otto von Brandenburg with the Arendsee Monastery . Further mentions were 1297 Hilghenvelde and 1337 de hilghenuelda .

In the Landbuch der Mark Brandenburg from 1375 the village is listed as Heiligenfelde . In 1804 the village was called Heiligenfelde or Hilligenfelde .

Witch burning in 1687 in Arendsee

In 1687, the judgment of the Faculty of Law in Frankfurt / Oder on the Köppenberg in Arendsee was carried out on three women from Heiligenfelde who had been sued for sorcery: Catharina Niemann, Asmi Berendt's wife and her step-daughter Ilsabe Berendts and Susanne Neilmann, Joachim Neilmann's daughter. The pastor recorded the course of events in the church register: On a Sunday afternoon in 1683, two girls from Hilgenfelde were sitting in the sheepfold owned by Jakob Berendt. They were seventeen year old Susanne Neilmann and sixteen year old Ilsabe Berendts. She persuaded her friend Susanne to make a covenant with the devil and to boo with him. When Susanne got a remorse, she was beaten up by her devil named Claus and she confessed this to her father, who went to the pastor. So it came to the process that cost the women their lives. The two men who had posed as devils had meanwhile fled.

Beckmann handed down the text of the judgment in 1753. Elias Caspar Reichard published the detailed report of the pastor in 1781.
