Saarmund is a district of the municipality of Nuthetal in the Brandenburg district of Potsdam-Mittelmark . The place is east of the Saarmunder terminal moraine arc and west of the Nuthe.

history

Saarmund was first mentioned in a document on December 28, 1216, when the Brandenburg Bishop Siegfried II confirmed his archdeaconate rights to the Brandenburg Cathedral Chapter when he took office . At that time, Saarmund was a border town of the Archdeaconate Brandenburg by Bishop Siegfried II.

1375 first mention of Saarmund in the land book of Charles IV as "little town with castle, customs place, mill ..."

In 1380 Mathias, Falke von der Lietzenitz enfeoffed his nephew Erich, Falke von der Lietzenitz with the fiefdom of Saarmund Castle.

In 1398, Margrave Wilhelm zu Meißen bought Saarmund. Shortly afterwards Saarmund was taken by force by Dietrich and Hans von Quitzow. The Quitzows were a powerful noble family in the Mark Brandenburg in the 14th century. In 1470 Saarmund passed into electoral possession. In 1476 a salt spring was discovered in the Saarmund district, east of Tremsdorf. The Margrave Albrecht Achilles planned the construction of a salt works. But only his son Johann Cicero realized the project around 1480. The saltworks then operated for over a century.

The Saarmund Bailiwick , called Amt Saarmund from the 15th century, was a sovereign administrative unit in the Mark Brandenburg that existed until 1826.

The 30 Years War 1618–1648 also raged in Saarmund. Famine, disease, looting and pillage were inevitable. The plague in 1626 and especially in 1630 brought great hardship and death to the place. Saarmund stood the test of time and continued to exist.

In 1652, 4 Hüfner , 6 Kossaten , 13 Graubünden and 23 residents lived in Saarmund .

1788 - first mention of a school.

The Saarmund Evangelical Church was built from 1846 to 1848 by Friedrich August Stüler according to plans by Ludwig Persius as a flat-roofed three-aisled basilica in Italianizing, neo-Romanesque shapes, Potsdam style with a slender rectangular tower on the west facade.

In 1862, the citizens of Saamunder agreed to withdraw from the association of cities. Saarmund lost its town charter.

The town center has small-town features. Since 1990 there has been extensive residential development. The population has more than doubled since then.

The name Saarmund led Theodor Fontane on a former branch of river Nuthe called Saare back. According to Reinhard E. Fischer , " the river name Saar [...] is pre-Slavic, it belongs to an Indo-European root with the meaning" flow, move quickly and violently. " “The Saare branched off from the Nuthe north of Gröben and flowed back into the old river at Saarmund. Today the Nuthe Saarmund grazes on the east side of the former town. On his hikes through the Margraviate of Brandenburg , Fontane stopped in Saarmund to learn more about the four Nutheburgen, which were already legendary at the time - he suspected that Saarmund had emerged from one of these castles. His efforts were in vain, so that he realized with resignation:

Excerpt from the Urmes table sheet, sheet Potsdam 3644

“The“ Zauche ”, subjected to the bears by Albrecht, was Christian and German, the“ Teltow ”, who remained loyal to the old gods, was still pagan and turning. That was the time when the Nuthe was counting its great historical days; that was the century of the "Nutheburgen". Whether these latter were aggressive or defensive points, whether they were built by the "Germans" to conquer the Teltow from the fence, or whether they built the "Wenden" to counter the advancing conquest - these questions will never be resolved become; all records are missing…. The Nutheburgen of that first Christian epoch are dead, withered away forever. "

Albrecht the Bear mentioned by Fontane , also Albrecht von Ballenstedt or Albrecht I, was the first Margrave of Brandenburg . The Askanier subdued 1150/57 the Elbslawen from this region, who settled here since the 6th century.

The vineyards found there were also mentioned during Fontane's visit to Saarmund. In the hikes he wrote: " In the back of the city, however, on the southern slopes of the Zauche hills, vineyards emerged over vineyards, so that Germany enjoyed the distinction of producing a double Saar wine for a few centuries: a Kur-Trier near Saarbrücken and a Kurmark near Saarmund. "Unfortunately, there is no indication of the quality of the Saarmunder Saar wine.

The well-known Saarmund sports airfield has been used intensively since 1919.

Due to its proximity to the film city of Potsdam-Babelsberg, Saarmund has been chosen several times as a film location for film productions by UFA, DEFA and television stations (including DEFA films: "The Adventures of Werner Holt", "The Sons of the Great Bear" and "Solo Sonny") .

In 2016, Saarmund celebrated its 800th anniversary with a week of festivities (July 2-10). The new church tower clock was inaugurated on July 3, 2016 at 12 noon. This watch was financed by donations from residents and friends of the village. The story of Saarmund was presented on July 9, 2016 by a parade over two kilometers long. Under the direction of the Nuthetal e. V. around 350 residents worked here. The 800-year history of Saarmund was illustrated there in 27 pictures.

Incorporation

On October 26, 2003, Saarmund was incorporated into the new municipality of Nuthetal.

traffic

Saarmund is flanked by two motorways. The section of the Südring (Berliner Ring - today A 10) was put into operation in August 1938.

The direct connection, the piece between the Berlin AVUS and the Südring (today A 115), was planned from 1936 at the request of the city of Potsdam.

The section near Saarmund turned out to be very difficult because the building site had to be led through a moorland. The piece of bog was 320 m long and up to 11 m deep. In order to realize the project, the largest bog blast in Europe to date (20,000 kg of explosives) was carried out on December 16, 1938. The AVUS feeder was handed over on September 23, 1940.

There is a motorway connection via the A 115 , Saarmund exit. Country roads lead through Bergholz-Rehbrücke to Potsdam , via Langerwisch to Michendorf , and then directly to Philippsthal , Tremsdorf and Nudow .

Saarmund train station, northeast of the town, is on the outer ring of Berlin . Originally it was only intended for freight transport. It went into operation in April 1918. The station is served hourly by regional trains to Berlin-Schönefeld Airport and Potsdam Central Station.

The airfield Saar mouth is southwest from the center behind a hill on Nuthetal junction (A 115 and 10 ). The 1000 m long grass runway in east-west orientation is approved for aircraft up to 2 tons. Several flight clubs are based there, including a motorized flight charter company and a microlight flight club.
