geography

location

The Havel near Saaringen with the islands Großes Ohr on the right and Köhninge on the left of the center of the picture

Saaringen is located about 500 m southeast of the L 91 national road between the villages of Klein Kreutz (district of Brandenburg an der Havel ) and Weseram , on the northern bank of the Havel . The place is opposite the Havel islands Großes Ohr and Köhninge , which may have emerged after the river bed was straightened (piercing of river meanders ). The place is located in the landscape protection area Brandenburger Osthavelniederung , whereby the built-up area is left out of the LSG.

history

Surname

The place was first documented as Sarringe in 1320 , when the Brandenburg bishop Johannes von Thuchem assigned the village to the cathedral monastery . The meaning of the possibly Slavic name is unclear. A likely interpretation relates to the Slavic "za rekoi", which can be translated as "located behind the river". (See accordingly also Ziesar - "za jesero" = "behind the lake", seen from Magdeburg ).
Other authors consider the possibility that "... this is about the redesign of a Slavic name, perhaps with (the) Old Polish " * žar "=" embers, heat " (cf. Russian жара =" heat ") ) to connect is ... “, could act.

Settlement type and development

The place is not a transit village. The branch road of the L91 that leads to Saaringen ends in the village and makes it appear as a round square village or Rundling . This type of settlement is described as typically West Slavonic (see Rundling ). The village emerged from a Slavic castle complex of the second half of the 9th century, which was protected around the year 890 with a 10 m wide and 4.5 m high fortification and fairly precisely encloses the present village. However, after a relatively short period of time (10 to 30 years), the fortifications were so badly damaged by fire that they were leveled and the village continued to be inhabited as an unfortified settlement.

administration

Saaringen has belonged to the Havelländisches Kreis der Mittelmark ( Kurmark Brandenburg) since the Middle Ages . Since the founding of the province of Brandenburg in 1815, the place belonged to the Westhavelland district and in 1952 it became part of the Brandenburg-Land district . On January 1, 1957, Saaringen was incorporated into the Klein Kreutz community as a district . This community was again incorporated into the independent city of Brandenburg an der Havel on December 6, 1993 , where it belongs to the district of Dom as a district of Klein Kreutz / Saaringen .

church

The church of Saaringen

The church, which was built in 1796, is worth seeing. In 1997 the parish applied for the church to be removed from the list of monuments. The building was dilapidated and the parish was unable to maintain it. A local support association was formed for the rescue. The building was restored thanks to donations, job creation measures and funding from the German Foundation for Monument Protection .
