Neuendorf (Brück)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neuendorf

Neuendorf is a district of the city of Brück in the Brandenburg district of Potsdam-Mittelmark .

The alley village with 257 inhabitants (2015) is located on the federal highway 246 on the border of the Zauche plateau to the Baruther glacial valley . The north-eastern neighbor is the community of Borkheide , which extends in the Zauche from the Neuendorfer Heide to the Schäper Heide. The Beelitz district of Schäpe follows to the east and the villages of Alt Bork and Deutsch Bork from the municipality of Linthe to the southeast . In the south, beyond the glacial valley, is the village of Linthe at a distance of around five kilometers. The main town of Brück joins the B 246 after about three kilometers in a westerly direction. In the immediate vicinity of Neuendorf, the Stromtal settlement was built in the middle of the glacial valley in the 1920s .

The first written mention of the place comes from the year 1337 as Nyendorf . In 1375 the village is recorded as Nyendorf prope Brugge . While the derivation of the frequently occurring "speaking" name is clear, it is not known to what extent Neuendorf received the new name . The village was owned by the von Ziegesar family until 1582 and by the von Seelen family since 1582. From 1599 to 1690 it belonged to the von Bernewitz family and then to the Berlin citizen Barth until 1726. Other owners were: 1726–1733 Girschner, 1733–1737 a Ludwig from Magdeburg, then the Schmidt family. 1830/1836 the Kaehne family, who owned it until 1872.

Neuendorf was of great importance for Brandenburg until 1815, as the village was the last border post in the Märkische Zauche towards Saxony . It was not until the Congress of Vienna in 1815 that the northern part of the Saxon Kurkreis , to which Brück and Belzig had belonged, finally fell to Prussia .

Neuendorf has always been characterized by agriculture. With the extensive amelioration measures under Frederick the Great in the Baruther glacial valley, the Neuendorf farmers became prosperous. For if they had previously had to plant their fields on sandy, dry and rather sterile breeding ground, they were able to relocate their cultivation areas to the largely drained and fertile valley since the middle of the 18th century. Remnants of the formerly extensive alder forest Linther Oberbusch between Neuendorf / Stromtal and the Autobahn 9 as well as a multitude of drainage channels are reminiscent of the swampy lowland.

The relatively high prosperity of the peasants at this time was reflected in the fact that in 1795 they made the highest bid of 26,000 thalers when the heavily indebted manor in Neuendorf was to be auctioned . However, the owner then became Karl Rudolf Gans Edler zu Putlitz from the still existing Marche nobility family Gans zu Putlitz , which had been one of the most influential families in the Prignitz , especially in the centuries of the late Middle Ages . Putlitz died here in 1824, completely impoverished . Jan Feustel recounts a story according to which the noble gentleman's daughter "[went] from farm to farm with a bowl to beg for food" and "finally died of exhaustion in a farmer's stable".

Worth seeing is the Grade II listed stone church with a gabled tower of half-timbered , probably dating back to the 15th century and very likely had a predecessor. Today the building is largely plastered. In the church there is a bell that is said to date from 1690. The tower was erected in 1839 and it was renovated in 1890.
