history

Around 1767/1787 a forester's house was built on the Spree, later known as the "Flutkrug" and "Forsthaus an der Flut". The breakthrough from the flood jug to the Kersdorfer See took place around 1791; With the expansion of the Friedrich Wilhelm Canal , the eastern canal route was completely rebuilt, the breakthrough between the flood jug and the western canal route took place in 1891. A new bridge was built at the Kersdorfer Mühle as early as 1845 to bridge a route from Kersdorfer See to Frankfurt (Oder) to accomplish. In 1891 a new steel flood bridge was built at km 88.91 as a direct connection between Müllrose and Fürstenwalde. The flood bridge was demolished when the canal was widened from 1907 to 1914; a new building without a central pillar was necessary because of the shipping traffic. At the end of the Second World War, this bridge was blown up by German soldiers, in May 1945 Soviet soldiers built a temporary pontoon bridge. In August 2001, a new construction took place as a wooden cable-stayed bridge with two pylons.

In 1862 Karl Gottlob built a steam cutting mill on Lake Kersdorf, and the children of his workers were taught in the forestry department.

The lock

The Kersdorf lock is located on the Spree-Oder waterway km 89.73. In 1887 the lock and lock master farm was built. The manager of the canal works was the engineer Pränzel from Neubrück, part of Rietz-Neuendorf . The official opening took place on May 1, 1891, even though the locks began operating a year after construction began. In 1900 the lock was drained and renovated, in 1914 the second lock chamber, the north chamber, was opened. Technically, the north chamber consists of heavyweight chamber walls and a chamber floor, each made of concrete, clamped in between as an "upside down vault". Both heads are equipped with hinged gates on a jamb, like a stem gate in the lower head. The older south chamber consists of heavy weight chamber walls on a continuous floor and has a lifting gate. Filling and emptying are carried out using siphon systems, since the sparing water basins, which are arranged in the middle, have proven to be uneconomical in operation. From April 2010, the lock was completely repaired for around EUR 14 million and the north chamber was extended to 115 m. The new northern chamber was officially opened on September 5, 2013.

On the lock bridge from 1891 you can also cross the canal directly at the lock.

In 1893 the inn "Zur Kanone" was inaugurated, the buildings still exist as well as the brick school, which was built in 1937, until 2013 the "Gasthaus am Rehhagen", today a private house with a summer café. The inn "Forsthaus on the Spree" served since 1969 as Property closed state security object of the Stasi to retrain former RAF -Terroristen.
