History and etymology

18th century

Friedrichshuld House

Under both Friedrich I and Friedrich II , the establishment of textile manufacturers was encouraged in order to make Prussia independent of imports . In the course of this, so-called spinner villages were created.

One of them is Philippsthal, founded in 1754. It is believed that the name of the village is a tribute to Philipp Wilhelm von Brandenburg-Schwedt . This had u. a. the settlement of the Oderbruch promoted. Originally Philippsthal was assigned to the Saarmund office and was intended to be home to 50 families. For this purpose, the so-called Niederheyde (302 acres and 159 square rods (QR)), the Krügersheide (146 acres, 145 QR), the Wentdorf (213 acres 52 QR) and the Schulzenheide (139 acres 63 QR) were measured in 1753 .

Around 25 thatched or thatched half-timbered semi-detached houses with a common chimney and three wells were built for the 50 spinner families. Each of the families received from the Prussian king one acre of garden land, one meadow and one cow. In addition, the families were exempt from taxes. In return, they had to deliver two pounds of spun wool a month. A Schulze appointed by the king supervised the delivery of the wool to the resident spinners and also the delivery of the yarns produced. In 1755 there was a plantation of the provost Decker and corresponding farm buildings in Philippsthal. The village was laid out with a square in the middle, from which 13 houses for two families each in the direction of Saarmund were built in each half of Dorfstrasse. A building for the shepherd was built at a later date. In the other half of the village in the direction of Schenkendorf, the village schooler's house, a jug , a travel stable and another five family houses were built. The field provost lived at the end of the village in a two-story , solidly built house, which was bordered by a forecourt and a stable. A school building was also built, but in 1755 it was also not yet occupied.

19th century

Philippsthal village chapel

In 1801 there was the Dorfschulzengut in Philippsthal as well as 38 Büdner, eight linen weavers and a jug. They operated a total of 53 fireplaces (= households). The attempt to raise silkworms failed right from the start, as the mulberry trees could not stand the climate. The factories existed until 1816. Since then, the inhabitants have pursued other professions. The residential buildings continued to exist; in 1840 there were 52 pieces. In 1858 there were seven farm owners and 46 part-time farmers with a maid. There were also 27 workers and one servant. There were 53 properties. Two of them were between 30 and 300 acres, and together they made 100 acres. 51 other properties were under five acres, making 52 acres. In the meantime, some other trades had settled in the village: There were three master tailors and a journeyman, two journeyman carpenter, a master carpenter, a journeyman bricklayer, two journeyman carpenter, a master carpenter, a journeyman bricklayer, a dealer, a Kruger, an official and five people who were called "poor". In 1860 there were three public, 52 residential and 49 farm buildings without the Stöckerhaus , a residential building with a mill mentioned for the first time in 1743.

20th century

In 1900 there were 56 houses in the village. However, the economic situation did not improve significantly and so it was not until 1902 that the school was established. The village church was built two years later. At that time, the spinner village had already become a farming village, which had several stately homesteads, one of which is a listed building in the 21st century. In 1928 Philippsthal consisted of the municipality with the house and mill Stöckerhaus. An agricultural and forestry business with an area of ​​20 to 100 hectares lived and worked there in 1939. Nine other holdings were between ten and 20 hectares in size, 21 holdings between five and ten hectares, and another 20 between 0.5 and five hectares. After the Second World War , a type I LPG was founded during the GDR , but it was dissolved in 1960 and connected to the LPG in Saarmund. In 1960 another LPG type I was founded with 44 members and 279 hectares of agricultural land. It was connected to the LPG in Saarmund in 1970. This existed in 1973 as LPG Saarmund with the Philippsthal branch.

21st century

On October 26, 2003, Philippsthal was incorporated into the new Nuthetal community.

Sights and culture

School with teacher's apartment in Philippsthal

The accumulation of monuments is unusual for the size of the place. Philippsthal has a total of six registered architectural monuments. Most of the architectural monuments are reminiscent of the time of colonization.

  • The Friedrichshuld house, built in 1765 at the northeast exit of the village, was the home of Schulzen, still exists today and is a registered monument. The focal point of the plantation for the silkworm breeding from Friedrichs Huld was the two-story, stately furnished house of Schulzen with several side buildings. A park belongs to the house. Field Provost Decker, who was at the head of the Prussian War Consistory at the time, was the first owner of the house. Around 1800 the house was redesigned and was given the current name Haus Friedrichshuld .
  • A village church had already been promised to the place when it was founded, but due to the financial situation the construction was not realized for over 150 years. 1899 decided parish building the village chapel Philippsthal . Next to the church is a monument to the fallen in the First World War . It consists of an erect boulder, carved into a wall, on which a metal plate bears the names of the fallen. This is framed by a collection of natural stones arranged like a stone bed.
  • In addition to the streetscape that has evolved over time, two residential buildings (Dorfstrasse 5 and 36) and a homestead (Dorfstrasse 35) are entered in the state monument list. However, the residential building at Dorfstrasse 5 burned down in 2015. The houses are traces of the original colonization of the village. A complete overview of the architectural monuments can be found in the list of architectural monuments in Nuthetal .
  • The annual Easter bonfire is a tradition, as is the Hunters Festival, which is held annually on the 2nd Saturday in September together with the neighboring towns of Nudow and Schenkenhorst.
