Location and structure

The place is about seven kilometers east of Jüterbog. The place consists of the old village, the estate, a troop camp (the settlement) and the forest settlement.

history

Markendorf was first mentioned in 1368 as Marggreuendorf and belonged to the ore monastery of Magdeburg until 1635 , after which the place was part of the Electorate of Saxony until 1657 , Markendorf has always been characterized by agriculture. The Markendorf estate was founded in 1665. Markendorf became part of the Duchy of Saxony-Weißenfels in 1746 and returned to Electoral Saxony by 1816. In 1816 the place came to the Jüterbog-Luckenwalde district .

From 1900 to 1963 the place was on the small railway line Jüterbog - Luckenwalde . Around 1900 a training area for the Royal Prussian Pioneer Troops was laid out near Markendorf . Before 1910, a military camp was established in the area of ​​the manor. An infantry and an artillery plant (small and large fort) were built on the training ground for training purposes. At the beginning of the First World War , the Prussian army's first mine throwing school was established there. As a result, the site was destroyed by landmines and contaminated with war gas. After the Versailles Peace Treaty , afforestation began in the 1920s and the military camp was converted into a civilian housing estate. In 1921, Alsatians who had to leave their homeland were settled here. In 1949 the area was confiscated by the Soviet Army. The area is not accessible today due to mining.

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality Fröhden was incorporated. In 1956 an LPG was founded, which was merged with Frödender LPG in 1958.

On December 31, 1997, the place was incorporated into the city of Jüterbog. In March 2000, 360 people lived in the village. In 2018 the place celebrated its 650th anniversary.
