history

In the place Grabsdorf first mentioned in 1350, about three kilometers north of Oranienburg, Elector Friedrich III. between 1691 and 1697 build a pleasure and hunting lodge on the banks of the Havel with a few houses for servants. Architects were Johann Arnold Nering (1659–1695) and Christian Eltester (1672–1700). The palace complex with its buildings and gardens stretched from today's village square to the Havel. A number of cavalier houses were built in front of the castle in a semicircle . In 1701, now king in Prussia , Friedrich bought the entire place and had it named Friedrichsthal after himself .

The decline of the Friedrichsthal property began with the death of the king in 1713. In 1752, colonists from Mecklenburg and Württemberg invited by Frederick the Great came to Friedrichsthal and took possession of the former cavalier houses that formed the origin of today's round village square. In 1873 the owner of the nearby manor had the remains of the ruined palace building torn down.

The stone coat of arms of the castle seal was kept and built into the north wall of the village church, which was built on the site of the castle in 1895–1897 based on designs by Ludwig von Tiedemann . It shows the initials of the elector: CF 3.
