history

The place Klaistow, created as a round square village , was first mentioned in 1420 with the spelling Cleistow . The complex as a round square village indicates a Slavic local foundation. The place name describes the location of the village on a lake, but this lake no longer exists today. Until the Wars of Liberation , Klaistow, together with the neighboring villages of Busendorf and Kanin, formed an exclave of the Kingdom of Saxony within Prussia . After the Congress of Vienna , Klaistow came to the Kingdom of Prussia. From the beginning of the 20th century, the Klaistow community was expanded to include the Fichtenwalde colony .

Klaistow was originally predominantly characterized by agriculture. During the GDR era there was an agricultural production cooperative, which was merged with the LPGs from Busendorf and Kanin in the 1960s to form the LPG "Freiheit". On July 1, 1950, the Klaistow community was incorporated into the neighboring community of Busendorf together with Kanin. Even before that, after the invasion of the Red Army in 1945, the Fichtenwalde residential area was spun off from Klaistow and became an independent municipality. Due to the small size of the community, there was only one village church in Kanin, and the local children also went to school in Kanin. After the fall of the Berlin Wall , asparagus was increasingly grown in Klaistow.

While it was part of Prussia, the municipality of Klaistow was in the district of Zauch-Belzig . This was dissolved for the GDR district reform on July 25, 1952 and Klaistow came to the Potsdam-Land district in the Potsdam district . After the fall of the Wall, the Potsdam-Land district was renamed the Potsdam district , which merged on December 6, 1993 with the Belzig and Brandenburg-Land districts to form today's Potsdam-Mittelmark district . On December 31, 2001, the Busendorf community was incorporated into Beelitz , and Klaistow has been part of Beelitz since then.
