history

The place was first mentioned in 1266 and at that time belonged to the diocese of Havelberg . In the 15th century, the place passed to the von Rieben family , who had a manor house and in 1727 a village church built. Furthermore, a castle was built on a peninsula of the Schönhauser See, which was to protect the border with Brandenburg until the beginning of the 17th century. With the advent of firearms, it no longer offered adequate protection and was abandoned. In 1820 the von Rieben sold the estate to the bailiff Heinrich Friedrich Christian Michael. The manor house was built on the remains of the castle in 1843 and after 1945 it was a residential building, LPG kitchen, crèche, kindergarten and school.
