history
Schenkenberg is a very young settlement and only existed as an independent municipality for 75 years. The first documentary mention came from 1827 for the Vorwerk Schenkenberg ( location ) between Jeserig and Trechwitz . The Vorwerk belonged to Gut Jeserig and probably took its name from the noble family of the Lords von Hacke auf Groß Kreutz, who were inheritance gifts from the Kurmark .
The church was designed on the drawing board. The construction of the settlement began in 1925 and the first houses were already occupied a year later. In 1928, the rural community of Schenkenberg in the Zauch-Belzig district was officially re-established from parts of the Jeserig and Trechwitz districts. At the same time, volunteer fire brigades, sports clubs and parishes came into being.
After the Second World War , Schenkenberg was in the Soviet occupation zone and later the GDR . From 1952 the community belonged to the Brandenburg-Land district and in 1993, belonging to the Emster-Havel district, it was part of the Potsdam-Mittelmark district . On October 26, 2003, the municipality of Groß Kreutz / Emster was formed by law , into which Schenkenberg was also incorporated.
Schenkenberg, which had 600–700 inhabitants for a long time, experienced the greatest expansion since the 1990s, the construction of the Kirschbergsiedlung. The population almost tripled within a few years, in 2017 about 1500 people lived in Schenkenberg.
Optical telegraph
In 1832, at the highest point of the ground moraine landscape ( location ), later called Telegraphen-Berg, at 56 meters above sea level. NN an optical telegraph station on the Berlin - Koblenz line was built. At the time, this represented high technology in telecommunications. This optical telegraph was in operation for only 17 years and was then superseded by the advance of wire telegraphy, the Morse telegraph .
Settlers
At the end of the First World War , people of German origin who were expelled from their eastern homeland, Poland and the Soviet Union , came to Germany. In order to supply some of these people, settlements were planned. Settlement societies were supposed to provide the new settlers with land and loans cheaply with the help of which they could support themselves. So also in the area of today's Schenkenberg. Sales were sluggish and owners changed frequently because the new settlers were not all familiar with horticulture and small animal breeding. When the settlement was built, a sales organization for the sale of horticultural products was created at the same time. With the annuity contract (land purchase contract), each settler committed himself to joining the sales cooperative.
monument
A monument has been designated for Schenkenberg.
- Former primary school ( ⊙ ), used from 1930 to 2005. After 10 years of vacancy, sold to private in 2015 for residential use.
Agricultural production cooperative
At the end of the 1950s, pressure was exerted on individual farmers to join the Agricultural Production Cooperative (LPG) in order to promote “socialist development”. In the 1970s the structures of the farms were constantly "perfected". Later, in addition to cooperative horticulture and fruit growing, there were many private initiatives to produce food.
Kirschbergsiedlung
After the political change in 1989/90, the large fruit-growing areas were cleared with set-aside premiums. A brisk construction activity of single-family houses began. In addition to the Kirschbergsiedlung, a large number of single-family houses were built between the new settlers' houses. The population has increased from 600 in the 1930s to around 1,500.
Sports
The sports club Empor Schenkenberg, founded in 1928, is the only sports club in the village. Empor Schenkenberg was football district champion in 1968/69.
