Kurtschlag is a district of the city of Zehdenick and is located in the Schorfheide in the Oberhavel district north of Berlin . Kurtschlag currently has 273 residents. The name Kurtschlag is derived from Kurzer Schlag , where short stands for short length and Schlag for a shaved area in the forest.

history

At the beginning of the 18th century there was a potash boiler in the area of ​​today's village , from which a suburb of the city of Zehdenick developed in the following decades . Around 1736 the place name Curthschlag was established.

From the 1740s onwards, colonists from the Palatinate colonized the area. They were settled in the Margraviate of Brandenburg after a decree by King Friedrich II. They were mainly active in forestry and agriculture. At this time Kurtschlag was subordinate to the administration of Zehdenick. In 1775 the colonist village, now written as Curtschlag , already had 35 residential buildings and a total of around 180 inhabitants. As a result of the coalition wars , the number of inhabitants decreased again, but then rose steadily during the rest of the 19th century.

Economically, the village developed like a typical Brandenburg street village of that time. A post windmill and a grain mill were built by 1860, and various trades such as carpenter, blacksmith, bricklayer, tailor and shoemaker established themselves. Forestry and agriculture remained the most important economic factors. Due to war refugees and displaced persons during the final phase of the Second World War, the number of residents rose to over 600 by 1946. From the end of the 1950s, the establishment of two agricultural production cooperatives (LPG) began in Kurtschlag .
