History and etymology
The first mention of the place dates back to 1346, when Pieske in a Stiftsmatrikel the Diocese of Meissen as a vicarage of the rule Beeskow appeared. The name is of Sorbian origin and means something like alluvial sand . This suggests that there used to be a settlement here on a sandy hill surrounded by swamp and water. During archaeological excavations in the area, experts were able to secure urn finds. These suggest that the place is more than 1000 years old. The extension of the old Sorbian name Pieske with the prefix Markgraf probably took place after the establishment of the Ostmark . Obviously, the place was related to a margrave and was then called that. It also made it easier to distinguish the settlement from a place of the same name on the Scharmützelsee . According to a legend, the name Markgrafpieske is said to be derived from the false Woldemar , who is said to have lived here with his wife.
Early 14th century, the family was the von Birkholz with Markgrafpieske, Spreenhagen, Hartmansdorf and Wernsdorf invested , which moved its headquarters to the town. They lived in Gut Alt Markgrafpieske . Christoph von Birkholz sold the place to Johann Horneburg in 1562 . At that time there were eight Huefners and two Kötter living in the village . They operated agriculture and fish farming, but were also obliged to sell honey and crabs. There was a water mill in the village; sheep were kept and vines were grown. In 1650 there were 20 houses in the village. With the colonization of the sparsely populated areas by King Frederick the Great , Markgrafpieske grew. It started in 1762, and in 1798 chronicles put the number of colonist families at 96. They founded villages like Neu Markgrafpieske, Brisenluch or Lebbin . The cultural life was expanded in 1848 with a rifle guild. At the end of the 19th century the church on the village green had become dilapidated. The parish broke it down and built a new building in the neo-Gothic style further south between 1896 and 1898 . In 1901/1908 Alt Markgrafpieske (1895 = 779 inhabitants) and Neu Markgrafpieske (1895 = 340 inhabitants) merged to form Markgrafpieske. A year later, in 1909, the volunteer fire brigade was founded.
After the end of the Second World War , the manor house was demolished in 1946; Remnants of the estate park have been preserved. During the GDR era, the RSD-10 medium-range missile ( Defense Intelligence Agency - designation SS-20) was stationed on the nearby Mühlenberg . Helicopter landing pad 3110 of the anti-aircraft missile troops (NVA) was located southeast of the village center . In 1965 the mixed choir Markgrafpieske was founded.
On October 26, 2003, Markgrafpieske was incorporated into Spreenhagen. In August 2004, a memorial stone was unveiled on the school square for eight Margrave peasants who perished in special Soviet camps from 1945 to 1950 , including Pastor Werner Meißner.

Markgrafpieske in a literary film adaptation
Markgrafpieske plays an important role in the book On the Green Beach of the Spree (1955) by Hans Scholz .

The times of the action are October and November 1953 and in a flashback April 1945.
The multi-part series, which became one of the first street sweeps on German television, could unfortunately not be shot on the original location due to the political situation at the time.
