Hohenferchesar [ hoːn̩fɐˈçeːzaʁ ] is a district of the city of Havelsee in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district in the state of Brandenburg and part of the Beetzsee office . In 2002 Hohenferchesar merged voluntarily with the city of Pritzerbe and the communities of Briest and Fohrde to form the city of Havelsee, to which the village of Marzahne moved in 2008 . Hohenferchesar is located on the eastern bank of the Pritzerber See . In the west and south, the nature reserve Untere Havel Süd borders directly on the village.

history

The 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 . For example, points, bony fish hooks and a buzzing device were found . There are also individual finds from the Pritzerber area from the younger Stone Age . 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 Gallberg between Hohenferchesar and Fohrde, several prehistoric urn grave fields , which can be dated from the Bronze Age to the Roman Empire , were discovered. A large part of the prehistoric finds around Pritzerbe are exhibited in the Jerichower Land district museum in Genthin .

In his work Germania , Tacitus describes 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 6th century onwards, Slavic tribes came from the east to the area that had been largely empty of settlement for around one hundred and fifty years after the Germans had emigrated. Remnants of the Germanic population went into the Slavic majority population.

The name Hohenferchesar is derived from the Polish verch for upper part and jezer for lake. The name can therefore be translated as “place on a level with the lake”. In 1186 the church village "Verchiezere" was first mentioned in a document. The Bishop of Brandenburg confirmed extensive property ownership to the cathedral chapter in the document. Parts of it were the church Hohenferchesars belonging to the Burgward Pritzerbe and the chapel Marzahnes. In another document from 1217 Hohenferchesar was described as in the Lande Pritzerbe (" in territorio Pritzerwe"). Until its dissolution Hohenferchesar lay in the Hochstift Brandenburg , the principality of the Brandenburg bishop.

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. Later the village completely became the property of the Bishop of Brandenburg, who in 1450 gave it to a lord Lantin as a fief alongside Fohrde. Until the Reformation in the 16th century, Hohenferchesar remained in the possession of Brandenburg bishops.

With the Reformation and the associated secularization , the village first went to the Ziesar domain office and in 1816 to the Lehnin domain office. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the von Platow family was the elector's feudal lord and thus lord of Hohenferchesar . In 1800 there lived in Hohenferchesar a feudal mayor, ten farmers, seven cottagers , three cottagers , two skippers and two carpenters. There was also a forge, a mill and a jug. In 1827 or 1828 a fire destroyed the entire village and with it the church, which could be rebuilt by 1831. A brick factory was opened in Hohenferchesar in the 19th century. In 1933 there were 386 inhabitants in the village. By 1939 the number rose to 410. As part of the land reform in 1947, 100 hectares of land were redistributed or redistributed and in 1955 the LPG "Freiheit" was founded.

Politically, Hohenferchesar belonged to the then newly founded Prussian province of Brandenburg since 1815. A year later the district of Westhavelland was founded, to which these places were affiliated. After the Second World War and the founding of the GDR in 1949, Hohenferchesar was assigned to the Brandenburg district in 1952, with all of the districts that are now part of Havelsee, which became part of Potsdam-Mittelmark in 1993, and thus to the new Potsdam district, which existed until 1990. In the run-up to the Brandenburg municipal area reform planned for 2003, Hohenferchesar, the city of Pritzerbe and the municipalities of Fohrde, Briest 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 was the youngest part of the Havelsee district.

Attractions

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 point. 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 listed .
