history

12th to 18th centuries

In the 12th century there must have been a castle with a surrounding town in the community, because: According to documents, a pagan empire of Trebbin left these properties in 1300 to build a new castle in the neighboring Blankensee. The place was mentioned for the first time much earlier, in 1233 as Sconenhagen, and at that time it was owned by the Archdiocese of Magdeburg . In 1340 the area became an enclave in the Electorate of Saxony through an official loan . In 1372 it appeared for the first time in a document as Schönhagen . Probably before 1388, the von Thymen family took over the village as well as the castle and a few adjacent manors, including in neighboring Stangenhagen. They owned it for several centuries. In the course of the Reformation , what had previously belonged to the church was secularized and administered by administrators.

In 1615 Schönhagen was almost completely destroyed by a major fire. In the Thirty Years War to renewed considerable devastation. The manors and the castle were spared, but Schönhagen fell into desolation . During this time, Schönhagen was in the possession of the von Holtzendorff pledges from 1622 to 1638 . The village was then divided up. The larger part as well as the higher and lower jurisdiction as well as the church patronage remained with the von Thümen family, while the smaller part went to the von Schlabrendorf family . However, after the fighting ended, the von Thymen family began to rebuild the so-called Thymischer Winkel and were able to enlarge the property of their manor to 505 hectares by 1745 . Added to this were 2,500 hectares of arable land, 500 hectares of lakes and rivers and 10 hectares of forest. After 1756 both parts were reunited under the rule of the von Thümen. In 1815, after the Congress of Vienna , the area fell to Prussia . In 1832 there were 136 residents, mainly farmers, kötter and farm workers. On May 5, 1849, there was a major fire in which large parts of the residential buildings and barns were destroyed. In 1853 Steinäcker leased the manors of Schönhagen and Ahrensdorf. However, the business relationships were not under a good star: only three years later, after a number of legal disputes, the municipality canceled the contracts with the former captain. Another fire broke out on October 28, 1864, in which a brickyard, three residential houses and cattle sheds fell victim to the flames. In 1897 Arthur von Thümen had to sell the Blankensee estate with the Schönhagen and Stangenhagen estate including 11,000 acres of forest, fields and meadows to the German settlement bank for 2.25 million marks .

19th to 21st century

Part of the district went to the publisher Rudolf Mosse . He acquired Gut Schönhagen and Stangenhagen for around one million marks and had a mansion built in the early 1900s according to plans by the architect Ernst Lessing , after a previous building was probably also destroyed in the fire of 1864. In 1900 the aviation pioneer Hans Grade built an aircraft barracks on the Chaussee to Blankensee and used the area for the first test flights. He thus laid the foundation stone for the future airfield. In the First World War , residents from Schönhagen also fell victim to the fighting. The community erected a war memorial for them in the center of the village. In 1921, the 180 residents were connected to the electrical grid. In the course of the Second World War , the Wehrmacht Air Force built an air base, initially as an emergency landing site, and from 1937 to 1945 as a school for the National Socialist Air Corps . During the same period, the castle and manor on Lankenberg were expanded into a munitions factory. After the end of the war, the community first used the property as a kindergarten, later as a district school for further training of school officials and from 1978 to accommodate families. The first LPG was founded in 1952 , while the airfield was used by the GST flying school " Ernst Schneller ".

After the reunification , an aviation center for gliders and motorized aircraft opened on the airfield, which in 1991 was raised to the status of a commercial airfield . From 1990 the manor house was used by the Brandenburg state government as a training center for the Brandenburg Social Pedagogical Training Center. From 1993 to 1994 Schönhagen was connected to a central drinking water supply. The castle was extensively renovated by the state government and used as a training facility until 1997. After being returned to the Mosse family heirs, it will be available for sale in 2020. In 1996, the residents redesigned the village square, laid out a sidewalk and modernized the street lighting.
