history

Michelsdorf was mentioned for the first time in 1193. At that time it was donated to the Lehnin monastery by the Brandenburg margrave Otto II . The name can almost certainly be explained as the village of a Michael. Michael's personal name Michel is of biblical origin. The village church in Michelsdorf has a Michael patronage. It can be consecrated to St. Michael as the patron saint of the town's founder, but the naming of the village after the Michael patronage cannot be completely ruled out ( Reinhard E. Fischer, name book, p. 86 ). However, then perhaps a place name would be Michelskirchen or similar. expected. In terms of the settlement structure, Michelsdorf is a narrow street with later extensions.

"Monachorum in Lenyn Michilstorp sunt 30 mansi."

The land book of Charles IV from 1375 records the place, but only states that he had 30 hooves . In 1450 31 hooves are mentioned, two of which are parish hooves. In 1451 it is reported that eight hooves are desolate. 1538 only 22 hooves are mentioned, the rest is desolate (?). In 1546 the farmers of Michelsdorf received a bush of 6½ acres , which was previously used by Rädel. In 1602, eight farmers and two kossas lived in the village. In 1605 the Schulze had two feudal and one inherited hooves, the other farmers three hooves each. 1624 lived next to the eight farmers, a kossät, a blacksmith, two pairs of householders and a shepherd servant in Michelsdorf. In addition to the 24 farmer's hooves, the lordship had five hooves, the pastor two hooves. There was probably also a windmill, because in 1662 the village and windmill are "completely desolate and equal to the earth". The place was also uninhabited in 1687. Eight residents of Nahmitz and eight residents of Kaltenhausen had reclaimed smaller parts of the Feldmark around six Hufen and gave them fees to the Lehnin domain office . In 1691 a Schulze and six Swiss colonists were assigned to the village. In 1729 eight Swiss farmers are named. In 1745/6 the Schulze, seven Dreihüfner, two Büdner and two house people are named, all of them Swiss. There was also a windmill in front of the village. In 1772 there were eight farmers, nine farmers and one miller in Michelsdorf. For 1801 the following are named: eight whole farmers, twelve Büdner, ten residents, the pitcher and the windmill; a total of 39 fireplaces. In 1837 there were already 51 houses. In 1845, the mill owner Kauschke sold the post windmill with the associated house, stables and garden in Michelsdorf. In 1858 the place had three places to live (brickyard, windmill, chausseehaus), five public buildings, 65 houses and 90 farm buildings, including two flour mills. The Windmühle residential area was northeast of the town center on the road to Lehnin on the Mühlberg. The Chausseehaus was located a little southwest of the town center on the L86 in the direction of Oberjünne (today Chausseestraße 24). The brick factory was located southeast of the town center on the road to Rädel (today Rädeler Strasse 56-64). The second flour mill was on Rädeler Strasse, near the junction from Chausseestrasse (roughly at Rädeler Strasse 45). In 1900 the number of residential buildings had jumped to 171. In 1931 there were 185 houses with 255 households. In the 1946 land reform, 172 hectares were expropriated and divided. In 1958 the first type III LPG was established, which by 1960 already had 64 members and 224 hectares of usable area. In 1960 an LPG type I with 19 members and 133 hectares of usable area was founded. In 1969 three companies were connected to LPG type III Nahmitz and four companies to LPG type III Michelsdorf. The LPG Type III Michelsdorf was merged with the GPG Damsdorf in 1973.

Political history

The place belonged from 1193 to 1542 to the monastery Lehnin, from 1543 to 1872 to the office Lehnin. In 1375 the place was in the historical Zauche landscape , from which the Zauchische Kreis emerged in the course of the 17th century . 1816/7 this was with the former Saxon Office for Belzig Zauch-Belzigschen circle (later county Zauch-Belzig combined). In the district reform of 1952, the district of Zauch-Belzig was dissolved, Michelsdorf came to the district of Brandenburg-Land . In 1992 Michelsdorf merged with other communities to form the Brandenburg Office of Lehnin, which was dissolved again in 2002 with the formation of the new Lehnin Abbey community. Since then, Michelsdorf has been part of the Lehnin Monastery community.

Church history

Michelsdorf was originally the mother church as can be deduced from the two parish hooves. In 1541, in addition to the two parish hooves, the pastor had the grain and meat tithe, the sexton had 20 bushels of bushel grain, Easter eggs and three loaves of bread from each house. The church had a lot of land, five sheep and two householders. Presumably this status was lost around 1500, in 1541 Michelsdorf was a subsidiary of Netzen. The Reformed Swiss were churched in Lehnin. In 1836 the Reformed and Lutheran congregations were united; since then Michelsdorf has been a daughter church of Lehnin. The patronage of the church was held by the Lehnin monastery until 1542, after which the sovereign or the tax authorities.
