History and etymology

13th to 16th centuries

The name Siethen probably means something like cornland and is likely to go back to the Slavic zit'n for place where grain is harvested . The name expert for the Teltow , Gerhard Schlimpert , does not rule out a transfer, for example, from the Westphalian town of Sythen near Coesfeld .

Church from the 13th / 14th centuries century

The street or cul-de-sac village was first mentioned as Syten in Charles IV's land register in 1375 . At that time it was 31 hooves , of which the pastor was entitled to two duty-free parish hooves. Six kossas continued to live in the village ; there was a jug . Before 1375, Siehen was owned by Castle Beuthen and thus by Schlabrendorf . In 1450 Siten had grown to 34 hooves. The pastor was still entitled to two hooves, but 15 hooves were desolate . Of the original six cottages, three courtyards were still occupied.

In 1520 the von Schlabrendorf family appeared for the first time. These included a Vorwerk , arable, sheep, meadows on the kitchen garden and the churchyard and on the new vineyard. Furthermore, a Schulze and 11 Hufner lived in the village ; the pitcher was still occupied. In 1594/1595 ownership changed to the Streithorst family. She received the village and the knight's seat with higher and lower jurisdiction as well as the church patronage .

17th century

In 1608 there was a knight seat of the von Streithorst in the place. Its catchment area extended beyond the village, because "half of Ahrensdorf and Kerzendorf also belong there ". In 1614 Joachim von der Groeben took over the place. Before the Thirty Years' War there were six farm workers, seven farm workers, a tenant shepherd, a windmill, a shepherd, a house husband and the shepherd servants. However, Siethen did not yet have its own forge, so a running blacksmith came to town if necessary. Of the 19 hooves, only three were master hooves. A farm with three hooves was given to the von Streithorst family, another farm with four hooves had been given to the von Groeben family, ie bought out and moved to the manor. During the war, ownership changed and Siethen came back to the von Schlabrendorf family in 1638. Badly damaged in the war, in 1652 only seven kossaets with three sons and two servants lived in the village.

18th century

In 1711 three Hufner were back in town. With them lived five farmers, a miller, a shepherd, a shepherd, the big and the little servant and a boy. The residents paid eight groschen dues for each of the 12 hooves . In 1745 the place had grown to four farmers and five kossas. There was a jug and a windmill. In 1771 there were eight gables (= residential houses) in the village; there lived the miller, for the first time a blacksmith and a shepherd. They continued to pay eight groschen per hoof. In 1789 the secret finance council JA Honig took over the place, but passed it on to the Baroness von Ba (u) mberger in 1798.

19th century

The baroness did not keep Siethen long either, but gave it back to Adrien-Marie-François de Verdy du Vernois in 1801. The historian, born in Ornans in 1738 , was the Prussian chamberlain and governor of the sons of Prince Ferdinand of Prussia . After his death in 1817 the Prince of Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen took over the place. From there it came back into the possession of von Schlabrendorff in 1825, when Johanna von Scharnhorst, née Komtess von Schlabrendorff, acquired the place for 63,000 thalers. She was married to Major Friedrich Gerhard August von Scharnhorst. When he died after a riding accident, Johanna and her one-year-old daughter took over the estate. In 1840 there were a good 44 houses in the village. In 1858 there were eight farm owners in the village who employed 10 servants and maids. There were 23 farmers with three servants and maids. There were 31 properties in the village: eight were between 30 and 300 acres (together 572 acres), and six more between 5 and 30 acres (together 42 acres). 17 more were smaller than 5 acres (together 62 acres). In the meantime, numerous trades had settled in the village . There were two master tailors with two journeymen , five carpenters , a master carpenter with a journeyman, three journeymen masons , a shopkeeper, a jug and a poor man. In the manor there was the landowner with nine servants and maids as well as 72 day laborers and five servants. They farmed 4001 acres. In autumn 1859 Johanna sold the estate for 120,000 thalers to the hereditary master hunter of the Kurmark, Karl von Jagow-Rühstädt. However, he stayed on his property in Rühstädt and transferred the management to a farmer. In 1860 there were two public, 23 residential and 48 farm buildings in the village. The district was 702 acres: 493 acres were arable land, 136 acres were pasture, 47 acres were meadows and 26 acres were farms. The manor was 4089 acres with 1304 acres of fields, 324 acres of pasture, 268 acres of meadow, 29 acres of peat and 59 acres of farms. This comprised 17 residential and 26 farm buildings, including a steam distillery and a flour mill. The numerous new buildings and renovation measures cost a lot of money and so Karl von Jagow had to part with his goods as early as 1879. Siethen came to the Berlin merchant Hermann Baditz for 180,000 thalers. After his death in 1897, his son Gottfried Badewitz, a royal government assessor and lawyer, took over the estates in Gröben and Siethen.

20th and 21st centuries

At the turn of the century there were 46 houses and 11 houses in the estate. The stock grew to 57 residential buildings in 1931. Gottfried Badewitz had the church renovated in 1914/1915 on the occasion of the impending confirmation of his two children. In 1928 the manor, the forestry and the manor district were combined with the community. An exclave of 16 hectares came to Klein Beuthen, another 492 hectare exclave to Gröben. In 1932, Siethen consisted of the community with the Forsthaus Siethen residential area. In order to regulate the successes, Gottfried von Badewitz, meanwhile raised to the nobility due to his services to the construction of the Teltow Canal , sold the Gröben property. The proceeds were to be used to renovate the still deficit Siethen estate. Gottfried planned to hand over the property to his son Werner. The manor and manor house went to the city of Berlin, which continued to run the place as a Berlin city goods . In 1939 there were four agricultural and forestry holdings in the village that were between 20 and 100 hectares in size, six holdings between 10 and 20 hectares, nine holdings between 5 and 10 hectares and 14 holdings between 0.5 and 5 hectares. From 1942 a school of the Schutzstaffel was established in the manor house .

During the Second World War , the mansion was used as a hospital and later as a refugee home. The manor was expropriated and converted into a VEG . In 1953 a type I LPG was founded, but it was dissolved again. In 1953 a new LPG Type I was founded, which in 1961 had 35 members and 198 hectares of agricultural land . It continued in 1973, as well as the VEG and the Siethen district forester in Jütchendorf. After the fall of the Wall , the city of Berlin received the city goods back, which have been managed by the Berlin city property management since that time. The forest areas are looked after by the Berlin Forests. In 2003 some farm buildings that were no longer in use were demolished.

Culture and sights

Church, altar and apse
  • The village church of Siethen stands in the middle of the cemetery on Siethener Dorfstrasse. It was built in the late 13th or early 14th century as a rectangular building with a later added apse and a somewhat recessed, almost square west tower. The church has a sacristy extension in the northeast and a small porch over the north portal. The organ was built in 1882 by Carl Eduard Gesell from Potsdam and equipped with a manual , pedal and six registers .
  • Siethen Manor : The manor was owned by the von Schlabrendorf family from 1416 to 1780, as was the Gröben manor . The last owner of the Schlabrendorf family was Ewald Bogislov Ludwig, who bought it in 1780. Ober-Finanzrat König sold. The latter sold the Siethen Castle to the Barons von Baumberger in 1798. In 1897 the property fell to his son, the royal government assessor and lawyer Gottfried von Badewitz (1866-1944), who was raised to the nobility in 1914. The checkered history of the palace, which was built by the bathing family at the end of the 19th century, ranges from its misappropriation as a military hospital, to refugee accommodation, to a youth home. In the course of these uses, the extremely imposing top floor was structurally changed.
Tabea House, a former children's asylum from 1855
  • Tabea-Haus: The last two noble ladies of those von Scharnhorst (Gröben) as owners of Gut Siethen set up a children's asylum, the Tabea-Haus. It was used as a nursery for day laborers' children, the sick and orphans and now houses a kindergarten.
  • Oak south of Siethen with a chest height circumference of 7.00 m (2016).
  • The Siethener See has an area of ​​around 80 hectares as well as two public bathing areas and fishing opportunities. Theodor Fontane found the scenic location excellent, because in his hikes through the Mark Brandenburg he writes: “ ... and after a half-hour walk we reach a moderate hill, from which we can overlook two lakes and two villages:“ Groeben ”and“ Siethen ” . A Brandenburg idyll. But also a piece of Brandenburg history. “The 240 hectare landscape is called“ Siethener Elsbruch ”and is part of the Nuthe-Nieplitz-Niederung nature reserve . It extends to the village of Ahrensdorf , which also belongs to Ludwigsfelde, as well as the villages of Fahlhorst and Nudow from the municipality of Nuthetal .

economy

In addition to some commercial and handicraft businesses, asparagus cultivation is important. Otherwise, the area of ​​local recreation is gaining in importance due to the lake and the surrounding landscape. Cycling or hiking also lead through the recreation area of ​​Lake Siethen. In the direction of Gröben, you come across the former Märkische Wanderdorf , which is located directly on Lake Siethen.

Transport links

Siethen is not far from the federal highway 10 , exit Ludwigsfelde -West. It takes about 12 minutes to get to the southern outskirts of Berlin via the new federal highway 101 , exit Ludwigsfelde-Ost. There are bike paths to Ludwigsfelde and Ahrensdorf .
