history
The first documentary evidence for Pöthen was found in a deed of gift from Otto I from the year 965. There the place is called "Puciani village". In 1225 the place name Potene can be traced again, after that further information is missing. What is certain is that this settlement was about three kilometers to the south of the later town. The place was deserted in the 15th century.
Karith is mentioned for the first time in a deed of ownership of the Magdeburg Berge monastery , which Pope Innocent III. Issued in 1209. In 1269 the place came under Saxon rule and until 1808 belonged to the Gommern office, a Saxon enclave in the area ruled by Magdeburg and Brandenburg-Prussia .
In the 16th century the von Förder family owned an estate in Karith. To the south-west of the village she laid out the Vorwerk Pöthen and built an elaborate manor house in the Renaissance style in 1557 . In the course of the 18th century, the Vorwerk developed into an independent estate, the day laborers of which settled on the road to Gommern. Karith and Pöthen were indeed united as a manorial, but politically the Brandenburg-Saxon border ran between the two places.
This state of affairs was only ended with the capture of the area which had become the canton of Gommern in 1808 in the department of the Elbe of the Kingdom of Westphalia by the Napoleon brother Jérôme Bonaparte by Prussia in 1813. Both places came into the 1818 newly formed Prussian district Jerichow I with the district town of Burg.
In 1840 there were 250 inhabitants in Karith and 90 in Pöthen.
On September 30, 1928, the manor district of Pöthen was united with the rural community of Karith.
In 1945 both goods were expropriated by the land reform and the land was divided among new farmers who had to merge to form LPG Karith in the early 1950s . A village school was set up in the manor house, other rooms were used as apartments. The number of inhabitants, which was 694 in 1950, fell to 484 by 1968. From 1952 to 1990 Karith was in the district of Burg, with the territorial reorganization after German reunification, the place came to the district of Jerichower Land. On January 1, 2005, Karith was incorporated into the city of Gommern.
