history

Briest and Passow belonged to the Angermünde district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg since 1817 , Jamikow and Schönow to the Randow district (from 1939 to the Greifenhagen district ) in the Pomerania province . In 1952, the places were incorporated into the Angermünde district in the GDR district of Frankfurt (Oder) . Since 1993 they have been in the Brandenburg district of Uckermark.

The previously independent communities Briest, Jamikow and Passow merged on December 31, 1998 to form the community of Welsebruch. On October 26, 2003, the community Schönow was incorporated. On October 1, 2004, the community was renamed after the central location in Passow.

Passow district

The name comes from the Old Slavic prah and indicates the Slavic locator , i.e. place of Parš .

Archaeological excavations in the area of ​​the bypass road west of Passow produced around 1,350 archaeological findings in six areas on both sides of the Catfish (Oder) between November 2003 and December 2005 . Finds from the late Mesolithic , ceramic deposits and individual graves from the Neolithic and above all from the younger Bronze Age and the older Iron Age were discovered . Particularly noteworthy are the linear, parallel rows of pits that were filled with cracked stones. The excavator Erwin Cziesla writes: "Together with the Neolithic ceramic dumps, the likewise Neolithic graves (including those from the Passow area) as well as the area of ​​Passow 26 and the finds from Passow 20 - albeit only partially examined , a ritualized landscape becomes tangible here, which had existed since around 4,000 BC and was probably of importance until the Roman Empire, because there were also findings and a fountain from this period. " More recent, early Slavic findings reveal the detail of a village settlement.

As Parsowe , the place laid out as Angerdorf was first mentioned in writing in 1296. The place name developed over Porszow to Passow (middle of the 15th century). Formerly owned by Mecklenburg, Passow came to Pomerania in 1355 together with Crussow and Zichow Castle .

The early Gothic style stone church in Passow dates from the 3rd quarter of the 13th century. The west tower was added in the 18th century, and a tower tower was added in 1822. The church is equipped with a late Gothic winged altar (beginning of the 16th century) and a Renaissance pulpit (beginning of the 17th century).

In 1734 there were 226 inhabitants in Passow, 590 in 1895 and 808 in 1946 (including many resettlers ). From 1971 to 1981 the population increased from 748 to 1,243 through the incorporation of Wendemark in 1974.

Between 1840 and 1843 the Berlin – Szczecin railway line , on which Passow lies, was built. At that time, all mail and passenger traffic to Prenzlau, Pasewalk, Pomerania and Rügen was handled from the Passow (Uckerm) train station . 75 stagecoaches were available for every train to carry passengers and mail. The railway line to Stralsund was originally supposed to branch off from the Berlin – Szczecin line in Passow. Due to the refusal of the farmers in the area to give up land for the construction of the railway line, the branch was built from Angermünde . The Passow train station lost its national importance and many carters lost their jobs. Since 2014 there has been a harvest festival in Passow.

Wendemark residential area

First mentioned in 1552 in a document from the Gramzow monastery , the place name meant a geographical turning point - the wide valleys of the Welse and Randow meet in the local area and thus mark a change in landscape. The place has belonged to Passow since January 1st, 1974.

District Briest

The place first mentioned in 1288 in a document from the Gramzow monastery was laid out as an anger village. The name came from the Slavic brestu (= elm). Belonging to Pomerania until 1472 , ownership of the border location changed several times between Pomeranian and Brandenburg princes. The large stone church in Briester was built in the 13th century.

The Thirty Years 'War and the Seven Years' War devastated large areas in this part of the Uckermark , many farms were also destroyed in Briest, fields lay fallow and the inhabitants had to billet parts of the army.

The road from Briest to Passow train station was paved in 1899, and electrification in the town was completed by 1920.

After the Second World War , many resettlers had to be taken in from the areas east of the Oder. In 1961 the conversion from individual to cooperative agriculture was completed. In 1964 a cultural center with a restaurant, hall, kitchen and children's facility was built, and a year later the first 12 residential units of the state housing were built. From 1982 onwards, most households were connected to the drinking water supply.

Jamikow district

Jamikov Church

The place Jamikow appears for the first time in 1345 in a document of the Pomeranian Duke Barnim III. on who gave the section of the catfish river from the Oder to the Januck mill (Jamikow). Until 1945 Jamikow was part of the Prussian province of Pomerania .

The Jamikow Church from 1856 has been restored in recent years. The late baroque manor house in Jamikow is a listed building, it was probably built towards the end of the 18th century.

District Schönow

Schönow Church
Schönow Castle

Until 1945 Schönow was part of the Prussian province of Pomerania .

Schönow is known in the region as a sports village. In 2001 the place became the "sportiest village in Brandenburg".
