location
The street village lies to the west of the community center and is bounded in the north by the Buckautal community , in the south by Görzke and in the west by Wutzow, a district of Görzke. The federal road 107 ( Pritzwalk - Chemnitz ) runs in a north-south direction through the western part of Rottstock. The water-rich area is traversed by the Buckau , Gesundbrunnenbach and Riembach .
History and etymology
The name Rottstock is derived from the word red stick and thus indicates the abundance of water that is caused by the rivers. Experts suspect that at the time it was mentioned around 1300, many alders were growing on the banks of the streams , which depend on nitrogen fixation as a source of food. Other sources give Roztok as a derivation from the Polabian language , which means something like flow apart . With the mention of a mill in 1251, it is possible that the community belonged to a Count Baderich von Belzig . Rottstock became a Kirchdorf in 1349 , ie a church must have already existed at that time. It is also recorded that the von Quitzow are said to have plundered the place several times in the 15th century. With the merging of the Office Rabenstein and the Office Belzig , Rottstock came to the new Office Belzig-Rabenstein in 1550.
In the middle of the 19th century there were two linen weavers , two tailors, two shoemakers and a blacksmith in the village . At that time, around 260 people lived in the village. A fire station was built in 1895. The existence of a mill is handed down again from around 1900, which was initially used to manufacture paper and later as a grain mill. After the end of the Second World War , Rottstock also took on numerous resettlers; the population rose to 393 people in 1950. In 1960 the community converted the fire station into a kindergarten. In the time of the GDR there was an LPG with animal and plant production and the “Gesundbrunnen” part of the VEB Binnenfischer Potsdam. Another renovation took place between 1978 and 1980, which included a training room and a garage for trucks. In the 21st century, the community created a village pond and a sports field. The latter is used by a football club and an archery club. During the Brandenburg municipal area reform of October 26, 2003, it was incorporated into the municipality of Gräben.
On September 30, 1928, the Struvenberg manor district was united with the rural community of Rottstock.
