Seelensdorf [ ˈzeːln̩sdɔʁf ] is part of the municipality of the city of Havelsee in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district in the state of Brandenburg and is part of the Beetzsee office . In 2002 the town of Pritzerbe , to which Seelensdorf belonged, voluntarily merged with the communities of Briest , Fohrde and Hohenferchesar to form the town of Havelsee, to which the village of Marzahne moved in 2008 . Seelensdorf is in the north of the urban area.

history

The Havelsee area was already inhabited by people in prehistoric times. On the basis of archaeological finds, settlements in the area have been proven since the Middle Stone Age at the latest . In the area of ​​the Pritzerber See, numerous artefacts made of bones and antlers that could be dated to the Upper Paleolithic or Mesolithic times were excavated . For example, points, bony fish hooks and a buzzing device were found. A burial mound to the northeast of the town of Pritzerbe dates from the Bronze Age . Iron Age grave fields were found in the vicinity of the Pritzerber See.

In his work Germania , Tacitus describes the area east of the Elbe up to the Oder as a settlement area of ​​the Suebian tribe of the Semnones . Apart from a few remaining groups, the Semnones left their old settlement area on the Havel in the direction of the Rhine before or at the latest during the time of the migration of peoples from the 3rd or 4th century . From the 6th century onwards, Slavic tribes came from the east to the area that had been largely empty of settlement for around one hundred and fifty years after the Germans had emigrated. Remnants of the Germanic population went into the Slavic majority population.

The first mention as Selingestorp , Selingstorff came from the land book of Emperor Charles IV from 1375. The village comprised 26  Hufen . Two of them belonged to the pastor and 24 to the full farmers . In addition, 6 Kossaites lived in the village . Heine von Brösigke had all of Seelensdorf as a backrest from the Bishop of Brandenburg , so it was in the Hochstift Brandenburg . The next record about the place comes from the year 1393, when the village came into the possession of the cathedral chapter Brandenburg. Around 1400, Seelensdorf was probably abandoned and thus in the meantime deserted . The place was not mentioned again until 1541. At that time there was only one sheep farm . In the further course of time, Seelensdorf was described as a Vorwerk .

Politically, Seelensdorf and Pritzerbe had belonged to the then newly founded Prussian Province of Brandenburg since 1815. A year later the district of Westhavelland was founded, to which these places were affiliated. After the Second World War and the founding of the GDR in 1949, Pritzerbe was assigned to the Brandenburg district in 1952, together with all of the districts that are now part of Havelsee, which became part of the Potsdam-Mittelmark district in 1993, and thus the new Potsdam district, which existed until 1990.

Natural spaces

In the north of the community part of Seelensdorf there is the Alder Quarry Forest of the Pritzerber Laake , an ice age meltwater channel and a wetland. The Pritzerber Laake is now a designated nature reserve, among other things. The most extensive forest area, however, is the Seelensdorfer Forst , a church-owned forest area which is mainly planted with pine trees. The entire area is part of the Seelensdorf Westhavelland Nature Park and the Protected Landscape Westhavelland.
