Prehistoric time

Traces and finds suggest that the area was settled as early as the Mesolithic. A burial ground near the Britzer See and weapons finds northeast of Buckow date from the Bronze Age (2000–500 BC). Slavic farmers and ranchers settled in the 7th to 12th centuries.

middle Ages

In the 12./13. In the 19th century, the area is closely linked to the Ascanian dynasty, who drove the Slavs further east in the Wendekreuzzug. In the following time, Flemish settlers also settled in Lichterfelde. Researchers point the name to the location "clear field" . The place was first mentioned in a deed of gift from June 27, 1277 , in which Lichterfelde was named as ville Lichtervelde in the border description .

Modern times

At the beginning of 1900 there were 1050 inhabitants in Lichterfelde. By 1912 the population grew to 1,565 citizens. Since there was a great housing shortage in Lichterfelde after the First World War, a settlement association was founded on June 17, 1920. In the winter of 1925 there was street light in Lichterfelde for the first time.

In August 1992, the independent municipalities of Lichterfelde, Eichhorst, Finowfurt and Werbellin formed the Barnim-Nord office , which was converted into the new municipality of Finowfurt (with the districts of Lichterfelde, Eichhorst, Finowfurt and Werbellin) on December 30, 1997 . In 2003, through the merger of the municipalities of Finowfurt (including the former, now incorporated municipality of Altenhof) and the municipality of Groß Schönebeck, the new municipality of Schorfheide was created.
