history

Before 1945

The Jankemühle was built around 1600 as a grinding mill . The miller Christof Janigke worked here until his sudden death before 1615. Then the widow ran the farm alone with the children until the eldest son Martin could take over the mill. In 1615 he was old enough as a miller to be transferred to the business, besides the mill, he grazed 200 sheep. There was also a vineyard near the mill.

The time of the Thirty Years' War brought the residents of the Friedland office high taxes in order to support their own soldiers , plus constant looting by the troops passing through . In 1639 Martin Janigke was plagued by marauders from the army of the imperial general Gallas , who had been exposed to great famine. He was unable to meet the monetary demands, so they tortured him by locking him in the hot oven . Since that was not enough for them, they took out the burned miller and tormented him “in a truly devilish way” . When they moved on, his family was able to take him to Beeskow , but he died there a short time later as a result of the abuse.

The mill was now deserted, the Friedland office was subordinate to the Swedish Colonel Wittekopf from 1643 to 1680 , who ordered the demolition of the grinding mill and ordered a cutting mill to be built in its place , but this did not happen for the time being. The heirs of Janigke did not return until 1666 and found the destroyed buildings. The vineyard no longer existed, the fields were overgrown with trees, so that the office added them to the official heath . The mill's taxes and grain levies, which had not been paid for years, exceeded the value of the property several times. So the Janigkes renounced the inheritance .

Only in 1675 after the acquisition of the property by the Fürstenberg master miller Baltzer Wersicke , a new sawmill and a new grinding mill were built. To make the purchase easier for him, he was allowed to repay the purchase price in installments, he was given free wood from the official heath and was exempt from all taxes for eight years. The residents of the villages of Chossewitz, Klein Briesen and Dammendorf were assigned to him for the grinding mill . He had the wood that he cut into boards brought to Beeskow in order to have it shipped from there to Berlin . In 1702 his son Gottfried took over the mill. In 1732 he passed it on to his son-in-law Christian Hoyn (Hohn, Hoene) , whose descendants were still millers at the Jankemühle in 1834. In 1818 there were 16 residents and 3 fireplaces. Ten years later, the family tried to sell the property: “For this an appointment is for June 17th d. J. 1828 appointed at 10 o'clock in the morning in the local office ” . At that time, the Jankemühle was equipped with two grinders , a pestle and an oil mallet. The new mill owner Berger was a deputy member of the Prussian National Assembly for the Lübben district in 1848 . He voted for the tax refusal order of November 15, 1848. His property was listed under “Koschwitz with Janke-Mühle, Friedland Court Commission” , as Chossewitz was called at the time. Another census recorded in 1864, in addition to 21 residents, only two houses and the water mill . The sawmill was until the First World War in operation, after which they had in the summer boarders .

The entire property of the Jankemühle, 313 hectares, belonged in 1929 to Fritz-Wilm Freiherr von der Borch Rittmeister a. D. (* 1871) and his wife Ludmilla . Until 1945, the mill was a residential area , consisting of the mill building, equipped with a mill wheel and a turbine to generate electricity , a workers' house with sheds and stables and agricultural use of the areas. The farmer and forester Adrian Freiherr von der Borch (* 25 August 1931, † 22 February 2005 Nieheim-Holzhausen ) saw the light of day on Jankemühle . Son of Alhard Freiherr von der Borch and Ingeborg von Rohrscheidt , married to Gabriele Sibylle Astrid von Falkenhausen (born December 19, 1928). When the Jankemühle was expropriated at the end of the Second World War in 1945 , its legal owner was still the Rittmeister a. D. Fritz-Wilm from Borch.

After 1945

With the admission of six refugee families , the mill building was increased and the area expanded by the forest administration. In 1955 the mill burned down, the new thatched roof had caught fire from flying sparks. The mill burned down completely and was later demolished. The residents and their families moved to Eisenhüttenstadt , where their other relatives had already moved. The remaining buildings have since been used by the forest administration.
