history

Kagar was first mentioned as a desert in 1525 in the "Ruppin Land Book" . A feudal letter from 1536 mentions a village mayor and seven kossates . As a result of the Thirty Years War , the residential buildings were destroyed and the residents were displaced. In 1686, on the basis of the Edict of Potsdam , twenty Huguenot families settled in Kagar on six farms. At the end of the 17th century, colonists from the Palatinate also came to the place and in 1701 three Walloon families from Flanders settled .

In 1723 a half-timbered church was built. The parish replaced this in 1899 with a new building made of bricks , as the more than 150-year-old church had become dilapidated. This neo-Gothic style church is well preserved and was completely renovated in 1998.

The place was electrified in 1918. With the relocation of the school to Linow-Möckern, there has been no school in town since 1953.

During the National Socialist period , Kagar belonged to the NSDAP - Gau Kurmark (Mark Brandenburg) . From 1952 to 1990 Kagar was a municipality in the Neuruppin district in the Potsdam district of the GDR .

To DDR -times built a state-owned enterprise for the children of its staff operating the camps " Anne Frank ", which was abandoned after 1990 to decay.

Until September 2003, a council made up of a mayor and seven community representatives took care of Kagar's concerns .

Since October 2003, Kagar has been a district of Rheinsberg, although they had revolted against the incorporation. Kagar is now represented in the Rheinsberg city parliament by a local mayor.

Sport and culture

A country school home was set up in a former half-timbered house. Some companies from the GDR had set up company holiday homes in the village, including Messelektronik Berlin . In 1970, the then Kagar village club organized the first summer festival. It has since become a regular and well-attended cultural event. After the fall of the Wall, the village club was founded into the Heimat- und Kulturverein, which now has 19 members.

In 1999 a sports, play and cultural facility with a bowling alley, volleyball courts, table tennis tables and an adventure playground was created with the help of subsidies. This facility can be used by both residents and vacationers. In addition, there are holiday accommodations in the village, a riding stables, since 2005 also a hotel and the camping site on Reiherholz .

A local history association takes care of a number of events for residents and visitors. These include an Easter fire , the continuation of the summer festival, an autumn fire and

In the 1930s, around five trains per day ran from Flecken Zechlin via Rheinsberg to Löwenberg (Mark) with connections to Berlin and back. On summer weekends there were continuous trains to and from Berlin. The line was dismantled after the Second World War and the rails were shipped to the Soviet Union as reparations . At the beginning of the 21st century, the Rheinsberg – Flecken Zechlin cycle path was laid on the former railway line, past the Linowseen , the Großer Pätschsee and Kagar , which is now part of the Brandenburg Tour .
