Kietz was a residential area in the town of Zossen in the Teltow-Fläming district in the state of Brandenburg , which is now part of the town's development. Originally it was a medieval Kietz settlement .

Geographical location

The place was east of the city center. In the 21st century only the Am Kietz square is reminiscent of the settlement square . The federal highway 96 runs on the north and east side of the square , from which the federal highway 246 branches off to the east . The central area of the square is a green area on which there are several monuments.

The shape as a triangular square village is considered unusual for Kietz settlements, which are otherwise mostly characterized as street villages . Like almost all Kietz settlements, the Zossener Kietz was built near a castle on the other side of the city.

history

The first known documentary mention of the Zossener Kietz comes from 1430 as uff dem Kyse and described as "Kietz before the town". Before 1430 it belonged to the Zossen rule . The spelling changed in 1442 to behind the Kyße and at that time consisted of a sheep farm behind , in 1491 in the spelling on the Kietz. At that time, 183 sheep were kept there. In 1501 a "sheep farm on the Kietz" was mentioned again. The name changed in 1541 to the Kyetz zur Zoossen . In 1593, 21 residents lived there, known as Kietzer, who mainly operated agriculture. Some of them also had fishing rights, which is typical for Kietz settlements. A Schulze also lived in the village .

Before the Thirty Years' War there were a total of 20 kötter , a tenant shepherd and a shepherd in the village in 1624 . After the war it was Schulze, ten heroes and a son. The population increased slightly after this time: in 1704 there were 20 kietzers and one Schulzen as well as 10 Büdner . In 1711 these disappeared again - 21 heretics and two pairs of householders lived in the village. In 1745 Kietz first appeared as a suburb of Zossen. At that time it consisted of 20 houses, six stalls and three outdoor seating areas. Ten years later, 21 Kietzers and eight Büdner lived in the village. In 1771 there were 20 gables (= residential houses) in Kietz; there were two pairs of householders.

In 1801 the Kietz had grown together with the urban area of Zossen to such an extent that it was once again referred to as a suburb that was “located within the city”. There were three rows of houses in which 16 Büdner, seven depositors, two wheel makers and various craftsmen lived and worked. There was also a forge and a jug . There were also three water mills and a windmill. The statistics reported 32 fireplaces (= households) with 200 people.

In 1809/1810 the Kietz and the Weinberge settlement were incorporated into Zossen. In 1817 the population had dropped to just 86 people.

During the GDR era, the square was called Leninplatz before it was renamed Am Kietz again after 1990 .
