geography

Guide through Reitwein on the Oder

Reitwein on the southern edge of the Oderbruch lies at the northern end of the Reitweiner spur, also called Reitweiner Nase. It is a long chain of hills that drops steeply to the Oderbruch. It was created as a bulging slope of the Uroder. The soil is loamy and the area is criss-crossed by small valleys. As a result, there is very different vegetation on a small scale: from shady mixed deciduous forest with many spring flowers ( small snowdrops , anemones , lungwort , lily of the valley , shadow flowers , real cowslip , etc.) to dry grass with the adonis florets, which are famous for the area . Rare animal species such as beavers , cranes and black storks can also be found here .

Some hiking trails run through the Reitweiner Sporn , especially Frankfurter Strasse , an old trade route. Part of this old trade route is a ravine . Until the construction of the new paved road (today's B112 ) it was part of the direct and shortest connection between Frankfurt (Oder) and Küstrin .

Neighboring communities

Neighboring communities are Podelzig , Alt Tucheband , Küstriner Vorland and the city of Lebus . Neighboring town on the Polish side of the Oder is the former Göritz (Oder) ( Górzyca ).

Community structure

The Reitweiner Loose residential area belongs to Reitwein.

history

14th to 19th century

Reitweiner seal

In 1316 the place was first mentioned in a document as Ruthewyn . According to Heinrich Berghaus , the name is probably derived from the Slavic word Rutewina for path through the mire . The name can also be derived from the word rudowina = lawn iron stone . Until the drainage of the Oderbruch under Frederick the Great , the place was a fishing village. The fishing industry was so important that even the priest ran it for food. The local fishermen sold their catch as far as Müllrose .

The Margrave of Brandenburg Waldemar "the Great" sold Ruthewyn in 1316 with all accessories, with the lake Prisszenesken and 5 pounds of pepper for 147 Mark Brandenburg silver to the Frankfurt citizens Jacob von Gummer and Johann Schyele . You have been enfeoffed in full. But as early as 1336, Margrave Ludwig I ceded the village of Ruthewyn and Lake Piscenige to the city ​​council of Frankfurt (Oder) in exchange for half the village of Tucheband and half of the village of Maatzinova . The lake Prisszenesken or Piscenige has disappeared in the course of the embankment of the Oder.

In 1414 Lorenz Beier, a Frankfurt councilor, received elevations to Ruthewyn next to the places Gusow and Platkow . In the same year the first church was built and the council of Frankfurt held the church patronage . The residents paid 32 shock Czech groschen for the right to Lebus . Because so far the place was parish to Lebus. Lorenz Beier died after a few years without heirs.

In 1572 the council of Frankfurt received the sovereign permission to inherit his village of Reuthwein in exchange to Caspar von Platow and to accept his shares in the village of Boossen including 500 thalers . With this purchase, the council remained under the obligation to obey the elector because of Reitwein and Caspar von Platow became afterlehnsmann of the council of Frankfurt. In 1578 he bought a Hufe and Hof and converted his new property into a manor .

The von Platow family , who also owned Prötzel , kept Reitwein for almost a century. But in 1590 the court marshal Hans von Thümen won the place as a pledge, which he passed on to his son Hans Georg von Thümen .

In 1666 Joachim Erdmann von Burgsdorff bought riding wine. The Reitweiner Schloss ( manor house ) was built between 1697 and 1700 as a two-story plastered building with a richly ornamented main portal . The Finck von Finckenstein family took over the castle in 1842 and expanded it in the following years and laid out an English park . Through the marriage of Erdmuth Amalie von Burgsdorff's heir daughter in 1842 with Count Rudolf Finck von Finckenstein (1813–1886), the place came to her husband in 1849 after her death.

Frederick the Great spent the time immediately after the defeat in the Battle of Kunersdorf in 1759 at the castle. He also set up his headquarters here before the Battle of Zorndorf . Another famous guest was Theodor Fontane , who set one of the fictional locations of his historical novel Before the Storm near Reitwein.

Second World War

Reitwein Castle before 1945

At the end of the Second World War , the first Soviet troops reached Reitwein on February 2, 1945. But they could still be pushed back from the place by German reinforcements and a unit of the Reich Labor Service staying on the Reitweiner Gut . This made it possible for a large part of the population to flee. Parts of the homesteads of Reitweiner and Göritzer Loose outside the village and the wooded Reitweiner heights were held by the Soviet forces and continuously reinforced. In April 1945 the area around Reitwein was the scene of bitter fighting during the Battle of the Seelow Heights . On the German side, the Panzer Grenadier Division "Kurmark" fought with units from the military schools from Potsdam (Grenadier Regiment 1234) and Dresden (Grenadier Regiment 1235) for Reitwein. Trenches and earth bunkers on the Reitweiner Sporn are still preserved today and some are under monument protection.

This includes the Soviet command post of the 8th Guards Army (formerly 62nd Army ) under the commander Vasily Chuikov , from whom he led the assault on the Seelow Heights together with the commander of the 1st Belarusian Front Georgi Zhukov .

Reitwein after 1945

Destroyed Reitwein train station (1945)

The castle, which was slightly damaged in World War II, was torn down by the local authorities in 1962 and the area was completely leveled. Today, display boards and a hedge remind of the outline of the castle.

Reitwein had belonged to the Lebus district in the province of Brandenburg since 1817 and to the Seelow district in the GDR district of Frankfurt (Oder) from 1952 . The municipality has been in the Brandenburg district of Märkisch-Oderland since 1993.

Or flood

1947

On the night of March 22nd, the drift ice formed an ice barrier as a result of the ice drift near the flood canal at Küstrin-Kietz . Within a short time it dammed up huge amounts of water, which flooded the Oder dike north of Reitwein in two places over a length of over 100 m. The flood even reached Bad Freienwalde (Oder), several kilometers away from the river . More than 20,000 people were left homeless at the time . In the course of the reconstruction of the destroyed Oder dam in 1947, a field railway was also used. It made it possible to transport the sand that was mined on the Reitweiner Sporn. The dike driveway of the Kleinbahn on Reitweiner Triftweg is still clearly visible today.

1997 During the flood of the Oder in 1997 , the dike near Reitwein was a particularly critical point. On July 29, a critical crack (0.5 m wide, 50 m long) was successfully built in the dike berm at dike kilometers 4.8 and 5.2 . Bundeswehr helicopters were also used to transport sandbags . On the night of August 1, 1997, the construction of an emergency dike near Reitwein began. In the first few hours, around 80 trucks from the Brandenburg Road Administration were used to build the transverse dike. The construction of the emergency dike was terminated prematurely and dismantled the following year. The protective dam was popularly named Meyerdamm in reference to Hartmut Meyer , the then Brandenburg Minister for Urban Development, Housing and Transport.

Incorporations

After Reitwein, the municipalities Reitweiner Loose , the Hathenower Wiesen (1959) and the Odervorwerk including Göritzer Loose as well as a large part of the Wuhdener Loose (July 1st 1950) were incorporated.

Theodor Fontane on Reitwein

Stülerkirche with castle in the foreground, Duncker Collection , around 1860

On his hikes through the Mark Brandenburg (Volume 2, Das Oderland, published in 1863) Fontane also went into the rich history of Reitwein.

“On the back of Rittmeister von Prittwitz, who rescued him, he wrote the words to Minister Finkenstein in pencil:“ Everything is lost, save the royal family; Goodbye forever. ”The next day he took up quarters in Reitwein, which at that time still belonged to the Burgsdorfs. […] Our journey now takes us past these places. Ötscher, although nearby, is hidden behind hills, the more picturesque Reitwein and Göritz appear. Of course, the sight of this picture must have been more beautiful when the old Göritzer church, a famous pilgrimage site, was on the top of the hill and greeted each other with the church of Reitwein over there. "

Reitweiner legend

“When a shoemaker returned home from the fair in Frankfurt (Oder) on a sultry summer day and was lying down near the Reitweiner Schloßberg, he suddenly heard wonderful music. A richly dressed servant came up to him and invited him to the castle, the ruins of which stood on the hill. The cobbler came with me, was refreshed with plenty of food and drink, and then fell asleep. When he woke up he was back on his starting point. Lost in thought, he made his way home. At home everything seemed strange to him. Nobody knew the stranger anymore, there was no trace of his family to be found. He slept in the Reitweiner Schloßberg for a hundred years. "
