geography

Rathsleben, a street village with a church, is located in the northern Altmark on the Holzwiesengraben Rathsleben, which flows into the Halmaygraben. In the west of the village is the Rathslebener Holz forest area. The village lies between Arendsee (Altmark) and Osterburg (Altmark) on the edge of the Altmärkische Höhe , a low mountain range that separates the catchment areas of the Jeetze and Biese / Aland rivers .

history

Rathsleben was originally a round square village . After the village fire of 1821, it was rebuilt in the form of a street village from north to south.

The first documented mention of Rathsleben comes from the year 1319, when Waldemar , Margrave of the Mark Brandenburg , donated properties in Rathsleben to the Amelungsborn monastery. In the document, the court of the margrave (the castle) is named curia Aulosen , to which 17 villages belonged, including the village of Ratzslewe . In the Landbuch der Mark Brandenburg from 1375 the village is listed as Rasleve . It belonged to the Krevese monastery. Further mentions are 1600 Rahtschlebe , 1608 Ratzlebe and finally 1804 Rathsleben .

During the land reform in 1945 it was established: 18 properties under 100 hectares had a total of 214 hectares, one church property had 0.6 hectares. In 1958, the first type III agricultural production cooperative, the LPG “Friendship and Peace”, was established.

In June 2019, the 700th anniversary of Rathsleben was celebrated with a ceremony in the village church.

prehistory

Archaeological finds, such as a stone ax from around 4,000 years ago and an urn cemetery that has not yet been determined, bear witness to an early settlement of the place.

Origin of the place name

The word stems are German. The syllable rad or radi is the name for a person, leve or leue stands for inheritance.

First mentioned in 1240

The historian Peter P. Rohlach pointed out that the first mention of 1240, claimed by Hermes and Weigelt, cannot be proven. This probably refers to a Rasleben family appearing in Pomeranian documents .

Incorporations

The community of Rathsleben came on July 25, 1952 from the district of Osterburg to the district of Osterburg . On January 1, 1969, Rathsleben was incorporated into the municipality of Kossebau. On January 1, 2010, the district of Rathsleben became a separate district of the municipality of Altmärkische Höhe as a result of the merger of Kossebau and other communities to form the Altmärkische Höhe community.

Culture and sights

• The Protestant village church Rathsleben, a half-timbered church, was rebuilt in 1828 after the village fire. As the patron saint of the original church, von Jagow from 1598 named St. Lorenz in a feudal letter .
• The support association “Half-timbered Church St. Lorenz” Rathsleben e. V. wants to renovate and design the church building and its surroundings with its work.
• The local cemetery is in the churchyard.

Trivia

The Bretscher pastor August Hofmeister reported the legend of Rathsleben Cathedral in 1841 . Hundreds of years ago there was a cathedral in the village. The two largest courts would have encompassed a large estate that belonged to a canon who lived there. He had given this cathedral courtyard to the Krevese monastery and then moved to Berlin. Individual residents would have had to split kitchen wood for the canon in Berlin. Hofmeister thinks that the historical comes down to the fact that perhaps the provost of Krevese had a church property here. This is indicated by a large brickwork in the ground of a courtyard that was called the Rathskeller in 1841 . The corresponding riddle is as follows:

In the Rathsleber Cathedral, there is a gel Blom; Anyone who wants to pluck de gel Blum, De must crush the whole cathedral.

This means the egg, the shell of which is expressed by the dome.
