name of the city
The name Putlitz comes from Slavonic . It is made up of the preposition po (an, at), the noun uta (water, large water) - these components are drawn together to form a syllable - and the noun litz (village) and therefore means something like village on the large water , Großwasserdorf .
history
The city of Putlitz is one of the oldest cities in Prignitz .
The first documentary mention of a Slavic castle was already in 946, King Otto I endowed the diocese of Havelberg u. a. with the castle and castle district Pochlustin . In the course of the conquest after the victory over the Wends in 1179, the knight Johannes Gans from Altmark was enfeoffed with the castle and the lands, since then Putlitz has been the ancestral seat of the most powerful branch of the Gans family . The family is also considered to be the founder of the town of Putlitz, which initially existed as a village settlement next to the castle. Until the Reformation, the Bishop of Havelberg was the territorial lord and overlord of the rule (Terra) Putlitz, which, unlike other Prignitz cities, was a media city . 1259 Putlitz is mentioned as a parish. In 1543 the city received market rights. There have been several major fires in the history of the city. In 1638 the city was completely destroyed by fire and was subsequently uninhabited for several years as a result of the Thirty Years War . In 1652 new settlers from Saxony, Hanover and Holstein made a new start. In 1700 about 600 people lived in Putlitz again, and the last execution was carried out in 1718. In 1734 a school was built. In 1885, according to Meyers Konversations-Lexikon, there were 1852 Protestant residents. On June 4, 1896, the railway line from Pritzwalk to Putlitz was opened, followed in 1911 by the Putlitz – Berge - ( Perleberg ) ring line and in 1912 by the Putlitz – Suckow connection . The route from Putlitz to Berge has been in service since 1969, the one to Suckow since 1980.
Putlitz was the seat of the court until 1898, after which several court days per year were held in the town hall. At the beginning of the 20th century, several fires devastated the city again, so that half-timbered houses have not been built since then. There has been electricity in Putlitz since 1921. The bathing establishment was inaugurated in 1926 and the waterworks opened in 1962. Putlitz has been connected to the natural gas network since 1995. In 2010 the church got its steeple again. In 2010 the peace oak in front of the town hall, the largest tree in the city, was felled, which resulted in numerous protests.
Putlitz had belonged to the Westprignitz district in the province of Brandenburg since 1817 and to the Pritzwalk district in the GDR district of Potsdam from 1952 . The city has been in the Brandenburg district of Prignitz since 1993.
