Prädikow is a district of Prötzel in the Märkisch-Oderland district in the state of Brandenburg . Prädikow has around 250 inhabitants.

geography

The village is located in a valley of the hilly, Ice Age shaped landscape of the Oberbarnim in Märkische Schweiz . Coming from Prötzel, the Sophienfließ flows through the village in the direction of Buckower Kessel . Other smaller bodies of water are the Stanitzseen and the Kirchsee. The damp meadows of the place form the basis for the regular breeding of a pair of storks in the town center.

history

The first documentary mention of the villages "Predicowe" dates back to the year 1340. In the Landbuch der Mark Brandenburg 1375 a distinction was made between the two villages of Hohenprädikow and Niederprädikow, which were about the same size. Their location on the medieval trade route "via vetus" between Köpenick and the Oder (Wriezen) gave them importance .

In the Thirty Years War, farms fell desolate. In 1704 no distinction was made between Nieder- and Hohenprädikow. The village of Grunow also belonged to Prädikow for a long time . In 1775 two farms were laid out: Pulshof and Amalienhof.

Various noble families owned the manor, including Barfuß for a long time. Between 1670 and 1706 the estate belonged to the Alt-Landsberg estate of Otto von Schwerin . It was then bought by the Kameke family. In 1801, Prädikow, along with some other Oberbarnim villages, was acquired by one of the wealthiest families in the German Empire at the time: von Eckardstein .

In 1895 there were 423 inhabitants in Prädikow.

church

The church is in a slightly elevated position north of the river. It once belonged to the village of Niederprädikow, on the southern edge of which it was located. South of the river was Hohenprädikow without its own church. The originally unusually large area and the typology, which is comparable with the churches of Altlandsberg , Strausberg and Hohenfinow , indicate that a larger town may be intended to be founded. This is probably one of the reasons why the churches in other places such as Grunow and Prötzel were daughter churches of Prädikow. In the 19th century, the former three-aisled basilica was redesigned for the last time, giving it its current appearance. The building had already lost its substance before that. Only the remains of the foundations of the side aisles have survived.

The Prädikow Church has a bell from the 13th or 14th century and an organ. Another special inventory that was mentioned by Theodor Fontane in 1861/62 has not survived.

Culture

In Prädikow u. a. Festivals and church concerts take place. The association “Prädikower Kultur- und Landleben eV” annually produces new wooden sculptures that are set up along the cycle path. Once a year on Monument Day in September, Prädikow celebrates the sculpture festival, at which the new sculptures are presented and their location is announced.

traffic

Prädikow is located directly on the B 168 . This is crossed by the Tour Brandenburg cycle path between Strausberg and Wriezen . Due to its field stone buildings of the manor, the farm workers' houses and the church, Prädikow is part of the Oberbarnimer Feldstein route , a 41.5 kilometer long cultural and historical walking and cycling route on the trail of the building material field stone.
