history

Settlement in the surrounding area is documented as early as the Stone Age. Archaeological finds in the municipality go back at least to the Bronze Age . The first mentions of the places come from the 13th and 14th centuries. The landscapes of Roskow are predominantly shaped by the Ice Age. Large areas are protected as nature parks, landscape or nature reserves, and several historical buildings are listed as monuments. Like the other municipalities of the Beetzsee office, the municipality does not yet have its own coat of arms.

The area around the district of Lünow was already inhabited in the earlier Bronze Age at the latest. Finds such as arm rings, lance tips , a sickle, an ax and a mountain of arms date from this time . Furthermore, a late Bronze Age urn grave with additions as well as Slavic and early German fragments were discovered.

The margrave brothers Johann I and Otto III. founded the monastery Spandau in 1239 , equipped it u. a. with “… dem felde bey Roschow mit der Fischerey…” (translated regest of the Latin founding document made in 1541 ). In a document in 1270 , Margrave Otto IV gave the Benedictine nuns the church of the village "Roscowe". In 1324 parts of the village were transferred to Neustadt Brandenburg , others went to the Lehnin monastery , for example .

Weseram was first mentioned in 1317 as "Wyseram". At that time the village had 25 Hufen land and was assigned to the cathedral chapter by the bishop of the Brandenburg diocese . The bishop bought it back a little later. The village was in the Hochstift Brandenburg , the principality of the bishop.

Lünow's first documentary mention as "Lunowe" dates back to 1335, when it was obliged to take part in the maintenance of dams along with other villages along the Beetzsee, including Radewege and Butzow . Grabow was first mentioned as "Grabowe". The places were mentioned in Charles IV's land register of 1375. At that time Grabow comprised 34 hooves , six of which belonged to a Klaus von Wellen, and four of which were Kossaten . Local Beetzsee fishermen had to pay taxes to the masters of the village of Wellen. In addition to Groß Weseram there was a Slavic colonized Klein Weseram, which was abandoned around 1400 and rebuilt directly at Groß Weseram. The von Bredow family held upper and lower jurisdiction in Roskow . In 1404 the Brandenburg cathedral chapter acquired Grabow from a Klaus Ruk. Only a short time after the takeover it became deserted and the agricultural land was allocated to the Domkapitelhof in Mötzow .

Roskow manor of the von Katte family

From the 15th century belonged to the Lünow Kloth family, and existed in the 16th century in Grabow a sheep farm , from the new Vorwerk developed. From 1610 the owners of Lünow changed several times. The families of Putlitz , von der Gröben , von Götze , von Flemming , von Grumbkow and von Görne were masters of the place. In 1641 there was 35 Hufen land in Weseram. After 1650, the von Bredow family sold Roskow to Hans Christoph von Katte , who owned it for the next few centuries. 1723 to 1727, Christoph III. Build the castle-like Roskow manor house in the Baroque style on the manor .

In 1726 the von Görne family sold Lünow to the Brandenburg Cathedral Chapter . The village remained in his possession until the late 19th century. In 1752 the baroque church in Weserams was built. Around 1800 21 people lived in Grabow. According to a survey in 1809, a Lehnschulze, ten farmers and one half-farmer, nine Kossäts , two Büdner and four residents lived in Weseram . There was a forge, a windmill, a village pitcher , 35 farms and two feudal farms. A total of 37 campfire sites were counted in the village. In 1840 there were 41 houses. In 1860, Weseram included two buildings in a Weseram colony, five public buildings, 40 residential and 99 farm buildings.

In the 19th century, the brick industry was established in the area , including Grabow, Lünow and Weseram. The background was rich clay deposits and the connection via the Beetzsee and the Havel to the waterways to Berlin , so that inexpensive transport to the metropolis was possible. In 1860 Grabow was described as an estate with four residential and 17 farm buildings, one of which was a brick factory. Weseram also grew over the course of the century. In 1900 there were already 63 residential buildings.

In 1901 Lünow, Roskow and Weseram were connected to the rail network via the Westhavelländische Kreisbahnen . Connections existed to the city of Brandenburg and Nauen . The railway bridge over the Beetzseesträng near Lünow and the station building in Roskow still exist today. In 1928 the estate district Mötzow , to which Grabow belonged, was dissolved and the village was incorporated into the community of Lünow. In 1938 there were 472 inhabitants in Weseram and 744 in 1946 after the end of the Second World War .

After the Second World War , extensive expropriations and reallocations took place in the course of the land reform in the Soviet occupation zone in 1947 and 1948. Generally private rural holdings over 100 hectares were divided. So around Roskow 1118 hectares of agricultural land were expropriated and divided between the landless and landless population. The former manor of the von Katte family made up 575 hectares. 334 hectares were expropriated around Weseram. The leased properties of the cathedral monastery around Grabow were not expropriated. However, in order to avoid expropriation, the monastery subsequently had to cultivate the land on its own.

Incorporations

On February 1, 2002, Lünow and Weseram were incorporated into Roskow.
