The village of Nahmitz with around 600 inhabitants has been part of the municipality of Kloster Lehnin in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district in Brandenburg since April 1, 2002 , to which (at that time) thirteen previously independent villages and towns had merged.
Geographical location
Nahmitz is located around 15 kilometers southeast of the city of Brandenburg an der Havel and around 25 kilometers southwest of Potsdam and around 50 kilometers from Berlin . The village is part of the historic Zauche landscape . Nahmitz is located directly on the A2 Berlin- Magdeburg motorway at the north-western end of the Klostersee , while the Lehnin district, which is named for the entire community, is only two kilometers away at the south-eastern end of the lake.
history
The village is of Slavic origin, the name Nahmitz (originally Naumitz or Noumitz ) also comes from Slavic. Around one kilometer north of the Netzener See , a castle wall is still visible today . The village was first mentioned in a document in 1193 - its "historical significance" also dates from this time. To 1185/1190 was here the legend of Sibold, the first abbot of the neighboring Cistercian monastery Lehnin , slain by Slavic fishermen. The legend (see monastery) probably contains a true core which, according to S. Warnatsch, lay in a dispute between the monks and the Nahmitzer Slavs over fishing and milling rights.
After the expansion of the Emster as a water connection to the Havel as the Emster Canal , there was a significant production of bricks in two brick factories in Nahmitz in the 19th century . In addition, shipping benefited from the expansion of the canal, in 1801 14 boatmen were busy rafting wood. In addition to the forest and water-rich environment, the small church, restored in 2004, is worth mentioning today, a rectangular plastered building from 1744 with a wooden roof . The last Lehnin abbot, Valentin, donated the two bells in the 16th century for a previous building.
