history

Excavations go back to a Slavic settlement on the Muhre , which can be set with certainty from the middle of the 8th century to the turn of the 10th century . The remains of the Slavic ramparts of the Leegebruch can still be found there today .

At the beginning of the First World War , the settlement consisted of an estate surrounded by stables, an administrator's house, a jug and a school. It was a branch of the Bärenklau Remontedepot . The War Ministry operated a facility here to secure the remonts . After the November Revolution and the Versailles Treaty , all independent manor districts were abolished. By a resolution of the Prussian State Ministry of November 30, 1928 with effect from December 1, 1928, the Bärenklau manor district was also dissolved and the land was divided into different communities . Bärenklau and Leegebruch received the status of rural communities .

After official confirmation as a municipality, elections to the municipal parliament were held; on March 8, 1929 the parliament met for the first time. On May 4, 1936, the Reich Aviation Ministry decided to build the Heinkel works in Oranienburg near Leegebruch. The necessary number of workers could not be obtained from the area, for this reason workers were recruited all over Germany. The plant now also had to create housing in order to bind the workers; this happened in Leegebruch. Moving for the families was free. They came z. B. from the Rhineland , the Saarland , from Hamburg , but also from Silesia . A new house awaited the families with an electric stove, electric light and 450 to 1000 m² of garden. The houses were planned by Herbert Rimpl , who was also responsible for the Heinkelwerk; the gardens were planted according to the specifications of the garden designer Wilhelm Heintz . During this time the population increased from 350 to almost 6000. Thus, Leegebruch was considered "Germany's largest village". Since almost every house looked the same, every second one received a house sign on the gable from 1938 onwards. The construction of the houses was financed by the Brandenburgische-Heimstätten-GmbH, the Kurmärkische Kleinsiedlungsgenossenschaft and the Heinkel-Werk. The houses were offered for sale by the "Kurmärkische" and could be paid off monthly with 39.75  RM and 41 RM. First-time buyers also bought land, later you could only buy the house. As a result, the descendants of many “first settlers” still live in Leegebruch today. In 1939 the row of shops was built on Eichenallee, which is still there today.

During the Second World War , around 60 air raid shelters for 100 people each were built in the cross streets  , and the houses were painted green and gray. This should make the place look like a lake from the plane. During a training flight on December 11, 1941 at 3:30 p.m., a Do 215 of the 2nd Air Force Commander-in-Chief crashed and got stuck on the school roof.

After the end of the war, many families returned to their homeland, but many came as displaced persons from the former eastern regions . The new citizens from the north Bohemian village of Nixdorf ( Mikulášovice ) were influential . Until 1918, the largest steel goods and knife factories in Austria-Hungary were in Nixdorf . Since one of the new citizens had brought a lathe, a grindstone, a drill and small tools from his small locksmith's shop, a production facility could be created on the premises provided at the entrance to Leegebruch. 16 displaced people came together and on August 1, 1946 founded the Leegebruch Cutlery Cooperative (GML) . In 1956 GML became the VEB (K) Messerschmiede Leegebruch with 320 employees. On July 1, 1990, the Leegebruch GmbH cutlery became the legal successor, later Adler Messer GmbH , in 2003 with three employees.

Leegebruch had belonged to the Osthavelland district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg since 1817 and to the Oranienburg district in the GDR district of Potsdam from 1952 . The municipality has been in the Oberhavel district in Brandenburg since 1993.
