history

In the area around what is now Klingberg, people settled as early as 1700 BC. Chr. People. Numerous barrows from this culture have been preserved in the immediate vicinity of the village (e.g. the Hans-Moor-Berg , the burial mound on the Vierth , the Rugenbarg , the burial mound near Stubbenberg ). Around 600 to 700 AD, Slavic tribes immigrated to the area ; Remnants of this time are the remains of a refuge in Lake Pönitz . In 1277 the Garkau estate , which is now on the outskirts of Klingberg, was first mentioned in a document. However, the official date of the establishment of the place is not seen until September 15, 1903. The founder was the "life reformer" Paul Zimmermann from Saxony .

In its early days, the place was characterized by large orchards and scattered settlers who sometimes followed fundamentally different philosophies of life. The first setback was the development of the place during the First World War , which meant that the local economy could only be maintained with the help of Russian prisoners of war. Nevertheless, the place received its own school during the war, but it was closed again in 1926. Between the wars, one felt the economic problems prevailing throughout Germany in Klingberg as well. It only became more bearable for the settlers because many raw materials, such as poppy seeds or flax , were grown and sold themselves. In 1926, the founder of Klingberg, Paul Zimmermann, opened the Klingberg open-air park for fans of nudity . Due to financial problems, its equipment was quite simple; nevertheless, the park attracted free spirits from all over the world. After the Second World War , the population increased rapidly due to refugees and displaced persons from the German eastern areas, which resulted in an extreme housing shortage for several years .
