history
prehistory
Zauche and Planetal were already established in the Stone Age around 8000 BC. Settled. In the 3rd to 6th centuries, the Semnones and Lombards settled in what is now Reckahn. These left the area during the migration period . About two hundred years later, Slavs moved to the area. The Reckahn castle wall dates from this time .
Around 1150 a village with German settlers emerged, today called Duster-Reckahn. A first written mention comes from the year 1227 with the mention of Theodoricus miles de Recken , later also Theodoricus de Reckan (1259). During this time, many German settlements emerged in the Mark Brandenburg.
After the German settlement
In 1351 Reckahn was first mentioned as "Rickan", but it goes back to an older Slavic settlement. Since then Reckahn has been inextricably linked with the name of the von Rochow family. The family, which had their ancestral home in the neighboring town of Golzow , owned a number of manors between Werder and Ziesar. In the course of a real division of the goods , the Reckahn line of the von Rochow family was established in 1513 , which had its headquarters in Reckahn Castle. This family also owned the goods Göttin , Rotscherlinde and Krahne . The Baroque Reckahn Castle was built between 1726 and 1729.
In 1741 a large camp of Prussian troops was set up between Reckahn and Göttin . This concentration of troops in the south-west of the Mark was ordered so that the Prussian army had their backs free for the war over Silesia and to be able to counter possible attacks from Saxony, Hanover or France. The camp is said to have had over 40,000 men at its peak. This led to great destruction in Reckahn and the surrounding villages. A good 30,000 men were relocated near Grüningen near Wollin in autumn 1741 . In 1790, a stone pyramid was built near the village to commemorate the damage that the king never compensated.
The village became internationally known through the school and agricultural reforms by Friedrich Eberhard von Rochow , which were considered the most progressive in Europe at the time. Expressions of this history are today the school museum and the castle museum , which deal with this history. 1773 is the year of the school reform with the inauguration of the village school according to new concepts.
Reckahn was occupied by French troops in 1806, which caused some damage to the castle. In the summer of 1813 Russian troops were billeted. In August 1813, Reckahn was the deployment area for Prussian troops, who on August 26th were able to stop the advance of French units towards Berlin by winning the Battle of Hagelberg .
The Brandenburg - Belzig railway line of the Brandenburg City Railway with a stop in Reckahn was opened in 1904.
In 1936 the autobahn, today's A 2 , was built south of the town. The gravel extraction for this construction left the motorway lake.
Churches, religious communities
The largest religious group in Reckahn are the Protestant Christians. A few Catholic Christians as well as members of a free church exist. Most of the residents are not religiously bound.
Filia of the parish of Krahne is a large Protestant village and castle church .
Economy and Infrastructure
Reckahn has been a rural village for centuries. Even today agriculture is the most important industry. Most of the residents earn their living commuting in the vicinity or in Berlin.
Transport links
Train traffic on the Brandenburg City Railway between Brandenburg and Bad Belzig was stopped in 2004 after the route was overhauled in 2001. In 2013, the dismantling of the rails from Reckahn towards Bad Belzig began.
It is around five kilometers to the Brandenburg motorway junction on the A 2 . The national highway 102 leads about four kilometers east of Reckahn over and connects Brandenburg with Bad Belzig .
A road leads through Reckahn from Golzow to Göttin.
