geography

Central ditch

Langerwisch has an area of ​​12.23 km² and 1,781 inhabitants. The place is enclosed in the south and east by an imaginary line from the federal highway 10 and the federal highway 115 between the junctions Michendorf and Saarmund. The village consists of two parts, Alt Langerwisch and New Langerwisch , which merged in 1938. They are separated from the central ditch, which is not continuous and usually only filled with very little water. In the north there are two wooded hills, the gallows hill in the east and the vineyard in the west. Both do not reach 100 m in height. Fields and meadows shape the village. Smaller forests on the outer edges.

Toponymy

There are two different assumptions about the origin of the place name. According to the first theory, the name Langerwisch is derived from wipe for meadow and thus means long meadow . It could have been introduced by Dutch settlers. Another hypothesis traces the origin back to the Slavic double word for swamp meadow .

history

middle Ages

View of Alt-Langerwisch with the Galgenberg in the background

Neu-Langerwisch was first mentioned in 1285 as novi Langerwisch when the village was donated by the Margraves of Brandenburg Otto the Elder and Otto the Younger to the Brandenburg Cathedral Chapter . Alt-Langerwisch followed three years later. Neu-Langerwisch was the seat of the parish for the villages of Neu-, Alt-Langerwisch, Michendorf and Caputh from 1285 until 1767. It was officially under the Brandenburger Domstift until 1667, in fact until 1767. On August 22, 1303, the two churches of Old and New Langerwisch were united by the then Brandenburg Bishop Friedrich. A medieval anecdote provides a legend about the Langerwischer Galgenberg , which got its name after it in 1477, when "Captain Kurth was hung there in chains as a robbery" and "for a long time ... his bones bleached by the sun ... a horror of wanderers "remained. From 1580 to 1603 Langerwisch was owned by the von Pfuel family. In 1602 George Pfuel, the son of the then landowner Friedrich von Pfuel, became canon in the cathedral chapter in Brandenburg an der Havel.

Early modern age

In 1772 the Langerwisch Church, which collapsed at the end of the 17th century, was rebuilt. In 1779, the Prussian King Friedrich II had a manor house built in Alt-Langerwisch, today's Old Castle . In 1879 today's landmark, the Langerwischer Mühle, was built between Neu-Langerwisch and the neighboring Bergholz-Rehbrücke . Initially built as a post mill, it was converted into a Paltrock windmill in 1930.

Modern

In 1920, old and new Langerwisch each received a volunteer fire brigade . In the meantime, both fire brigades have been combined at the Strasse des Friedens 85 site in Alt Langerwisch. The formerly independent communities merged in 1938 to form the community of Langerwisch.

Incorporation

Langerwisch was incorporated into Michendorf on October 26, 2003.

Infrastructure and culture

View from Langerwisch in south direction

Langerwisch is located on Bundesstraße 2 between Potsdam and Beelitz and borders the Berliner Ring in the east and south . The traffic was repeatedly the reason for protests by the Langerwisch population. First in 2004 against the bypass of the B2, which relieves Michendorf , but is rather disadvantageous for Langerwisch. In 2005 protests were directed against the high volume of trucks after damage to several houses from the strong vibration was found. The high level of noise pollution was also criticized. Since the end of 2009 and increasingly at the beginning of 2010, an initiative has been running that calls for noise protection for Langerwisch after the planned expansion of the A10 to four lanes.

In the north, the railway line runs from Michendorf to Schönefeld Airport . The closest train stations are in Michendorf and Wilhelmshorst . In addition, bus routes 608 and 643 run regularly to Potsdam and in the direction of Dobbrikow and Beelitz . There is still a small airfield on the border between Langerwisch and Saarmund .

In the village there is one of the largest German flower markets, a supermarket, a bakery, a butcher, a flower shop, a hairdresser and a shop for pet supplies. In the southeast there is also a horse farm with horse breeding. There is a day-care center in Neu-Langerwisch. The closest schools are in Wildenbruch, Michendorf and Wilhelmshorst.

Several private gardens from Langerwisch are regularly open during the Open Garden Day. In addition, there are occasionally different cultural offers (e.g. theater performances, dance events) or different markets (e.g. Christmas market).

Both windmills have been restored, ready for operation and can be viewed on German Milling Day . The technical monuments are located next to each other at the foot of the 78 meter high Galgenberg, part of the Saarmunder terminal moraine arch . The Paltrock windmill was built in Oranienburg in 1839 as a post windmill, moved to Langerwisch in 1879 and converted into a Paltrockmühle in 1930.

The windmill is true with a wingspan of about 4.5 meters, the smallest working windmill in Germany. A master miller had built it in Paretz in 1938 on a 1: 4 scale as a training mill for his son. In 1968 she came to Langerwisch. Another mill, a post mill from 1709, was dilapidated by the 1970s at the latest and finally collapsed in 2002.

The Protestant village church from 1772, surrounded by the cemetery, replaced the previous building that collapsed at the end of the 17th century. It has an interior ceiling from the construction period that lies on a cove . The building and its tower were renovated in the 2000s. A message in a bottle with messages from 1901 and 1957 was found in the tower capsule. The renovation work was completed in December 2007.
