Culture and sights

Mill

Steam mill by Robert Theek in 1905

Around the turn of the century the family Robert Theek operating alongside their farming activities is also a grocery store and a post mill that was located on the nearby hill and was destroyed by a storm. Around 1905 Müller Theek had a new mill built by the Magdeburg-based company Schlüter Mühlenbau, which was operated by a steam engine. Grain was ground here and made into flour until the 1950s. Mill operations were stopped in the 1970s. For the centenary of the mill in September 2005, it was put back into operation by means of an electric motor. It now runs on a powerful slip ring motor from AEG from the 1920s.

church

The Protestant village church in Karritz is a brick building from 1905 using the foundation walls of the old church, an originally Romanesque church from the 11th / 12th. Century. When removing the old whitewash in the interior, biblical sayings came to light on the walls and the Our Father in the apse . The paintings have been restored.

Monuments

In Karritz there is a memorial stone for war victims from the 19th and 20th centuries.

Long-wave transmitter Goliath

On an area of ​​263 hectares northwest of Karritz, the Navy operated the Goliath long-wave transmitter from 1943 to 1945 to transmit commands to submerged submarines . The antenna of this transmitter, which with a transmission power of 1000 kilowatts was probably the most powerful transmitter in the world at the time, consisted of a shield antenna that was suspended from 15 guyed, earthed lattice masts 170 meters in height and on three tubular masts 204 meters in height, insulated from earth was. After 1945, the facility initially served as a prisoner of war camp before being dismantled in 1946. The foundation of mast number 8 is still preserved. After dismantling, the long-wave transmitter was the first transmitter of its kind to be rebuilt in the Soviet Union near Nizhny Novgorod in the Druzhny settlement. It is still in operation today (2010).
