history

Kanin was first mentioned in 1419 or 1420 under the name Kanyn . The village is probably older, however. The place name is Slavic and describes a place where there are birds of prey. The place is a typical Wendish round village . Together with the neighboring villages of Busendorf and Klaistow, Kanin formed an exclave of the Kingdom of Saxony within Prussia until the Wars of Liberation in 1815 , making Kanin the northernmost village in Saxony. The situation led to the curious situation that Kanin itself belonged to Saxony, but the Dorfkrug was in Prussia. Thus Prussian deserters could get to safety in Kanin, but were captured by hussars in the Prussian village jug .

The origins of the Kanin village church, built from field stones , go back to the early 13th century. Today's late Gothic nave was built in the 14th century. In 1540 the church came to the parish of Bliesendorf. The village church Kanin was used by the residents of the villages Busendorf, Kanin, Klaistow and Ferch , due to the small number of inhabitants in the communities, the children there shared a school, which was also located in Kanin. The school was closed in 1960 and the children were sent to Fichtenwalde.

Kanin is and was a predominantly agricultural village. In the 1950s an agricultural production cooperative was established in Kanin , which was merged with the LPGs from Busendorf and Kanin to form the LPG "Freiheit" in the 1960s. Since the fall of the Wall , asparagus has been grown more and more in and around Kanin .

After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the formerly Saxon Kanin came to the Kingdom of Prussia and became part of the Zauch-Belzig district in the course of the new district formation in 1817 . On July 1, 1950, Kanin and Klaistow joined the neighboring community of Busendorf and on July 25, 1952, the newly formed Potsdam-Land district was assigned. After the reunification, Kanin was initially in the Potsdam district before the place was assigned to the Potsdam-Mittelmark district during the district reform in December 1993 . On December 31, 2001, Busendorf and its parts of the community were incorporated into Beelitz .
