history

Place name

Teupitz emerged as a Slavic settlement. On the castle peninsula on Teupitzer See one was in 1307 for the first time Castle mentioned, which was designated in older documents as Tupcz, Tupzig or Tupitz. Other spellings were to dem Tuptez , 1346 Tewptz sive Teypcygk , 1375 Tewptz , 1431 Tupze , 1436 Tupitz , 1442 czum Tupitz , 1555 Teuptz or already Teupitz. The name is derived from the Lower Sorbian Tup , which means something like blunt or blunt hatchet ( Tupiza ). Historians suspect that a considerable amount of wood had to be felled in the development of this wooded region and the construction of the castle.

13th to 16th centuries

In the first documentary mention of Teupitz on November 11, 1307, Margrave Hermann von Brandenburg assures his city of Mittenwalde the right to “use all wood in the heather, the breaks and bushes from Denickens Damm (near Mittenwalde) to the Bestwinian mountains (near Gross - and the little ones) and from there to the bridge, and the river, which was usually called 'the Pupow', without any hindrance from von Plotzigk, Herr tu dem Tuptez and all of their descendants, to cut as construction and firewood and to drive away ". The owners of the land were therefore the von Plotzigk (Plötzke) who, verifiably, had appeared for the first time in the region as Brandenburg vassals under Burchard de Plozeke (Bernhard von Plötzke) since 1186 . Hermann belehnte thus Bernhard with the castle "to the Tuptz", close to the Teupitzer rule in the Slavic area to the marrow to bind. In the second document from 1315, his cousin Margrave Waldemar confirmed this right to the owner Bernt von Plotzigk after these rights had been disputed. It is not known whether the von Plotzigk family owned the land over the entire period. Their successors were the Schenk von Landsberg family , who over the centuries - from 1330 to 1717 - created a sphere of power in the southern Mark Brandenburg and Lusatia. In the land book of Charles IV the place appeared as Tupitz , Tuptz and Tubitz without further information. In 1346 only the church was mentioned, in 1427 the castle was mentioned for the first time. The taverns gave the city city rights and city seals around 1437 without an official letter of foundation and took over the church patronage of the Heilig-Geist-Kirche, built in 1346 . The spelling at this time was Tewptz sive Teupzycgk , Tewpcz and Tewptz sive Teypzeygk . Around 1415 there was another legal dispute over the legality of the Mittenwald logging in Teupitz. The district court in Mittenwalde therefore ordered a copy of the documentary mentions, which have survived despite a fire there in 1473. You are now in the Secret State Archive of Prussian Cultural Heritage in Berlin . In 1437 a city is mentioned for the first time. However, since there is no letter of foundation, experts assume that the granting of town charter was an unauthorized act by von Landsberg. At the same time, Teupitz was given its own town seal, which depicts a fish framed by two water lilies and with a cross over its back . In the 15th and 17th centuries, the family converted the castle into a palace. In 1546 the "castle, town and rule with villages, mills and the Teupitzschen Heide" was reported. In 1566 a church wall threatened to collapse; the vaulted ceiling was removed and the structure reinforced. In 1578, historians began to compile a city register. It contains information from the town's history, files of voluntary jurisdiction and other documents from Teupitz. Eight Hufner and 31 Kossäthöfe appeared for the first time in 1584 . In 1590 Teupitz was given permission to keep up to 1900 sheep - a branch of industry that should not be underestimated emerged: The income from the sale of the meat and the processed products went to the taverns. The same was true of the mills, three of which are recorded in a report from 1668. Further prosperity came from the operation of a tar kiln and the brickworks that processed clay from the surrounding pits.

17th to 18th centuries

During the Thirty Years' War the castle fell into disrepair and the vineyards became overgrown. In 1624 there were still eight farmers, 31 kossas and one shepherd, after the war it was still the “little town” with 37 (male) residents and two sons. Education did not suffer as a result, however, as a teacher and cantor Stahl was recorded for the first time from 1664 . The same applied to the church: In 1692 it received a new pulpit and two years later an organ by the organ builder Gottfried Richter from Döbel . In 1668 the Teupitz estate was sold to the Count zu Solms zu Baruth and bought back by the taverns in 1679. However, there must have been an error in the transfer back, because the estate was confiscated by the elector in 1684 due to a feudal error, given to the elector in 1685 and again enfeoffed with the donation in 1688.

Until around 1700 it was still necessary that the pastor had to hire a chaplain in order to introduce the predominantly Wendish- speaking population to a German sermon. On November 26, 1687, there was a major fire in the city, in which the majority of the wooden buildings were destroyed. School lessons initially took place in the parsonage, but from 1702 on, the students were able to use the newly constructed school building. On December 18, 1717, Friedrich Wilhelm I bought the castle and other properties for 54,000 thalers from the last tavern, Ludwig Alexander, and set up the seat of a royal bailiff there from 1717 to 1812. In 1719 there were 48 houses in Teupitz; however two were (still?) desolate . With the death of the last descendant in 1721, the importance of the property was lost. Klein-Beste, Körbiskrug, Gussow, Pätz and Zehrensdorf were added to the Königs Wusterhausen district; Gräbendorf went to the Blossin office. Teupitz only owned the Vorwerke in Repplinchen, Tornow, Egsdorf, Schwerin, Sputendorf and the Hohe, Mittlere and Kleine Mühle along with some dairy farms and lakes. The number of the population rose only slowly: from 1722, 50 residential buildings with 209 inhabitants have survived, in 1740 277 people lived there. In 1745 there were 49 houses, two desolate places. There was no suburb, but the prince's office and Vorwerk with three water mills, three cutting mills and a jug. In 1750 there were 51 houses and 20 barns in the village. A year later, 52 citizens lived in Teupitz, including the mayor, a Ziesemeister, six hoofers, a cooper and a tailor. In 1770 there were 51 houses, 20 barns, a Vorwerk (1773) and three now private water mills and three private cutting mills. From 1764 to 1772 Teupitz was - in addition to Mittenwalde - also the seat of a garrison that was subordinate to the Prussian military police battalion. In 1765, craftsmen discovered that the school building built around 60 years ago was in disrepair. In 1783 they tore down the two ailing chimneys, but it was not until 1787 that a new building was built and a cellar was added in 1820. It is also known that the last public execution took place on January 31, 1769 on the Galgenberg (since 2005 the area of ​​the Asklepios Clinic ). The bailiff Ludwig leg told it, a 30 rods long and 12 rods wide space from growing there spruces expose to the condemned there by a hangman from Mittenwalde wheels to leave. 1777 the city built near the lake Teupitzer the Shepherd House of Tudor with a black kitchen . In 1778 the church received its first tower clock. The castle fell into disrepair during this time and was demolished from 1788 to 1791 on a royal order down to the lowest floor . In the wars of liberation - as in many surrounding communities - troops were quartered in Teupitz, which became a great burden for the population.

19th century

town hall

In 1801, according to a chronicle, six boatmen and eight boatmen were employed in Teupitz. They took care of the transport of salt to the Teupitz region and the transport of building materials such as wood or bricks to the surrounding area and to Berlin. There were 57 houses and 33 barns in the village. There were 41 (!) Brewing houses as well as 16 brandy bottles. 80 acres of vineyards were cultivated in Teupitz. Four times a year there was a general store and livestock market on the triangular area in the city center. There were still 40 farmers, five bakers, three coopers, twelve spirits distillers, two master brewers, two butchers and an innkeeper. One person was listed as a "barber or surgeon" in the statistics. Furthermore, two farriers had settled in the city. There were eleven linen weavers, a bricklayer, a night watchman, but also an executioner and a shoemaker, seven shoemakers and numerous other trades. There were also three excisers, a cantor, a sexton, an organist, a preacher and three councilors. Eight Büdner and a forester lived in the Vorwerk and operated three fireplaces (= households). In the Alte Meierei (also called "Alt Vorwerk"), there lived a resident. Friedrich Wilhelm III. sold the remains of the castle with the outlying works Teupitz, Sputendorf and Löpten as well as the associated lakes and carp ponds for 69,000 thalers to the widow of the bailiff Bein, who died in 1803, on June 30, 1812 due to financial difficulties . This in turn gave it to her son, who sold it to the economic commissioner Gobbin in 1836 . In 1828 the parish closed the cemetery at the Heilig-Geist-Kirche and moved it to the Gesenberg south of the city center. In 1829, the city abolished the previously established separation between the Kramermarkt and the livestock market in order to increase the profitability of both previously unsuccessful markets. In 1830 the town hall was built. In 1840 the Gobbin family was known to own the property and sold it to a Herr von Trott. From there it went to the Jador family, then to the landowner Körner . During this time, a messenger post was set up for the first time, bringing news to the city twice a week. It developed into a karriol post between Mittenwalde and Wendisch Buchholz . In 1840 there were 62 houses in the city, in the Vorwerk with the Tornow sheep farm there were another five houses. In 1850 the von Tresckow family owned the estate, from 1860 to 1872 the von Parpart family. In 1857 a shooting club was founded , which had 40 members when it was founded. In 1858 there were six farm owners in the town who employed 13 servants and maidservants and 15 day laborers. There were 46 part-time farmers with a further four servants and maids and nine day laborers. There were also 35 workers and four people who were referred to as “servants”. There were a total of 71 possessions in the city. Two of them were between 300 and 600 acres (together 817 acres), 26 between 30 and 300 acres (together 1742 acres), 35 between 5 and 30 acres (together 561), and eight under five acres (together 20 acres). Numerous trades worked in the city. Examples are three master bakers and one journeyman, five master butchers and one apprentice, four master shoemakers with two journeymen and two apprentices, a master dyer, three master carpenters with one journeyman and two apprentices, a barber, a fisherman with six assistants, eight merchants, and six innkeepers , for the first time a pensioner (reindeer), but also two arms. In addition to the owner, two male and female servants and two day laborers worked in the 216-acre estate. Through another sale, Teupitz came to the Baron von Treskow and from there in 1860 to a Herr von Parpart . He also sold the small island of Tornows Werderchen in Lake Teupitz to a technician. At the same time he tried to revive viticulture and carp farming and tried out professional fish farming in Lake Teupitz. In 1862 the city celebrated 400 years of belonging to Brandenburg. In 1867 the number of pupils in Teupitz rose to 132 children. The Teupitzers tried to get a second teaching position, which was finally established in 1871. Visits by the writer Theodor Fontane are recorded from the years 1862 and 1874 . His studies of the city and the surrounding region are known as the Teupitz feature section and under the title Die Wendische Spree or Von Köpenick to Teupitz on board the Sphinx . In 1872, citizens of the city founded a choral society under the name Sängerkreis ; In 1879 the warrior association, the association of former comrades in arms, followed from Teupitz and the surrounding area . In the same year two companies of the Guard Grenadier Regiment No. 1 were billeted in the city. The church clock from 1778 had to be repaired several times. Estimates of experts, according to a repair had 250 Mark tasted, so that the church community to decided to install a new watch. In 1894 Teupitz existed with the establishment on the way to Baruth, Vorwerk Teupitz and brickworks. With effect from September 1, 1897, Post Office III was upgraded . Class to an agency. In 1899 a poor house was built on the grounds of the town hall courtyard after a donation from a citizen of Teupitz in the amount of 2,000 marks. In the same year, the city fathers considered giving up the status of “city” in order to reduce the remuneration of the newly elected mayor.

20th century

Cemetery chapel

The city experienced an economic boom around 1900 through tourism, which was further promoted around 1895 by Berlin passenger ships and rowing clubs. The excursion traffic to Teupitz, which took place only irregularly between 1895 and 1897, was offered regularly from 1900 until the outbreak of the First World War . At that time, the city's streets were being repaved; the Teupitz savings and loan association was created; Albert Gutzmann opened the first pharmacy . It is also thanks to him that the public library was inaugurated in 1901. At the same time, the city lifted the levee levy that traders had to pay when they arrived in the city. In 1900 there were 90 houses in the village. In 1904 the Teupitzers erected the Kaiser Wilhelm and war memorial on the market square . In 1907 a volunteer fire brigade was founded . She initially used a small water station in front of the church as a syringe house, but in 1927 she had her own fire station on Lindenstrasse. 1908 opened in Teupitz a sanatorium and nursing home, the state mental asylum main institution . It was built from 1904 under the direction of the architect Theodor Goecke . The main institution offered space for 1,050 patients with a hospital and a retirement home for another 150 people. There were also administration and kitchen buildings, a machine house with workshops, an agricultural yard and spacious gardens. It took in a large number of injured people from 1914 to 1918 in the course of the First World War, but was then closed in 1923. It was reopened from 1924 to 1931 and treated around 1,500 patients. During the National Socialist era , people with mental and physical disabilities were housed in the course of the euthanasia murders, who were then murdered in the T 4 killing centers . Among other things, a 50-meter-high chimney with a viewing platform at a height of 30 meters and a cemetery chapel in 1917 , which Robert Sandfort painted, were built on the site. In addition to the state clinic, a new district was created for the employees, the “keeper village”. The construction of the many buildings also meant that a factory was built on Bahnhofstrasse and the corner of Bergstrasse. For this purpose, the sand-lime brick from Rüdersdorf near Berlin was transported by ship, conveyed from Lake Teupitz to the factory via a narrow-gauge railway, and processed there with gravel and sand extracted on site. With the completion of the construction work on the state clinic and the building ensemble in Lindenstrasse, the factory went bankrupt. The factory boss Hugo Müting then took over the newly built Hotel Schenk von Landsberg . In the same year, the city had the town hall rebuilt under the direction of the architect Paul Sübers . He also built the ensemble in Lindenstrasse, consisting of the school, the hotel, the Imperial Post Office and two other residential buildings. It is now a listed building. A year later, Gutzmann founded the fruit and horticultural association, which was followed by a chess club in 1928. In 1912 the city celebrated 450 years of membership in Brandenburg. In 1897 the neighboring Groß Köris received a new station on the Berlin – Görlitz railway line . With the construction boom of the 1900s and the increasing number of tourists, the desire arose in Teupitz to get a connection to this railway line with the help of a narrow-gauge railway. However, the commitment did not go beyond soliciting an offer to extend the route. In 1909, the railway's operating permit expired after the factory closed, so that the project was no longer implemented. The excursion traffic on the Teupitz waters increased again. In 1927 Teupitz consisted of the town with the group of houses Landesanstalt, Gasthaus Tornows Idyll, Weinberg and Spruchs Expansion. In the same year, the city council and the city council decided to use the place name Teupitz am See to refer to the immediate location of the city on Lake Teupitz and thus further promote tourism. The spelling was lost in the decades that followed. The change occurred during the time of Mayor Johannes Schäfer, who directed the fortunes of the city from 1922 to 1935. Under his leadership, the city coat of arms, the city flag, the city song, a city festival and the consistent focus on tourism as a source of income were created. During the November Revolution, a workers 'and soldiers' council was founded on November 17, 1918 . A few months later, on April 27, 1919, a peasant and agricultural workers' council was formed for Teupitz and Egsdorf. The coming into force of the Weimar Constitution led to a gradual disempowerment of the councils, so that the city council finally resolved on January 14, 1920 to dissolve it. In 1922 the forester's house in Tornow was elevated to a district forest ranger; the city was connected to electricity - this had previously only been reserved for the state clinic. In 1927, the Kohlgarten residential district - named after the previous use for the castle - and the development on the Egsdorfer Horst, additional terrain for weekend and residential houses. In 1928 the estate and the Teupitz-Schloss estate district were dissolved. Around 387 hectares were united with the city; 177 hectares came to Groß Köris. At the same time the cultural life flourished in the city: Thus arose on July 15, 1928 the first Teupitz Song of C. Alfredy , the another song by on January 26, 1929 R. Meyer followed. In 1932 there was the city with the living quarters of Amtmanns Weinberg, Buschmeierei, Teupitz Castle and Tornows Idyll. In 1933 and 1934 a historian examined the first documentary mentions of the city. He concluded that the documents, despite being copied in the 15th century, could be genuine. Only the second letter was dated by him to the year 1317 (instead of 1315).

The time of National Socialism began in 1933 in Teupitz with the takeover of power by the local group of the NSDAP formed in 1931 . In 1930 the party received 10% of the vote, in 1933 it was 46%. In the local elections on March 12, 1933, there was a scandal when the Social Democrats refused to sing the Horst Wessel song at the opening. As a result, members of the SPD and KPD were put under pressure by the local branch of the SA and some were arrested. In the years that followed, members loyal to the party took on important positions in the city, including that of mayor. Schäfer resigned from the office with effect from January 1, 1934, but was still temporarily available until 1935. The market square was renamed Adolf-Hitler-Platz . From 1941 onwards, Serbian prisoners of war were housed in work detachment No. 1129 of the main camp III A based in Luckenwalde on Lindenstrasse. They had to work in agriculture, in the castle and in the town's mills. In 1941 the city existed with the settlement Baumgarten, Egsdorfer Horst, Freidorfer Weg, Kohlgarten, Liebesinsel and Tornower Chaussee. After the end of the Second World War , the prison camp was closed. On April 27, 1945, after the battle in the Halbe pocket , Teupitz was occupied by the Red Army and placed under Soviet command. Until the local elections on September 15, 1946, Hans Sussmann served the city as mayor; later as district mayor of the southern district of the Teltow district.

From 1945 to 1994 there was a hospital in the state clinic for members of the Soviet Army. During the GDR era, VEB Landmaschinen Döbeln set up a company holiday camp for the children of its employees in the Egsdorf district , which was abandoned after 1990. The local entrepreneurs were expropriated and their businesses transferred to public property. The fishery was integrated into the fishing cooperative Potsdam . Agriculture was gradually collectivized, and the LPG of Type I Teupitz-See was founded in 1960 with initially 12 members and 48 hectares of agricultural land. In 1964 the district Egsdorfer Horst was added; 1970 the district of Tornow Idyll. In 1971 the LPG cooperated with the LPG Granit from Tornow, the LPG Frühlingssturm from Schwerin and the agricultural business of the state clinic. In 1973 the Teupitzers celebrated the 600th anniversary of the city charter. In the same year the forester's house in Tornow was rededicated and since then has only served as an apartment for forest workers. There was the VEB Binnenfischerei Potsdam with the fishing company Teupitz, the PGH Kraftfahrzeughandwerk Sachsenring, the painting trade and the state forestry enterprise with the forest district Teupitz. In 1974 the places Egsdorf, Neuendorf and Tornow were incorporated on the initiative of the Königs Wusterhausen district . In the period up to 1989, a total of four campsites were built in the city limits.

After the fall of the Wall , a sewage system, an industrial park, a sports hall and residential buildings were built on the Teupitzer Höhe. The LPG dissolved and was partly integrated into an agricultural cooperative in Münchehofe . Some of the campsites have been closed or privatized. In 1992 Teupitz became the administrative center of the Schenkenländchen office . This was preceded by a discussion about the seat of the future administration, in which Groß Köris and Halbe also advocate a surcharge. In the same year, the city council decided to designate a 17 hectare industrial park at the junction of the A 13 , which was fully developed by 1994. In 1996, the city council decided to build a new fire brigade on Bergstrasse. The building was inaugurated on May 24, 1997 with the help of 450,000 DM in funding from the state. In 1996, a housing association from the state of Brandenburg acquired the prefabricated buildings with 48 apartments built in 1965 in the area of ​​the state clinic and four apartment buildings built in 1908 with 22 additional apartments. Together with other own homes, the Teupitzer Höhe residential complex was created , which bears this street name with effect from March 2, 1998. In 1997 the majority of the Teupitzers were connected to a newly built sewage treatment plant. In 1998, the town hall was renovated with the help of funds for around 880,000  DM , and in 2003 the cemetery chapel.

21st century

In 2001 a forest administration from Rhineland-Palatinate took over the area in Massow and has been cultivating around 6,000 hectares since that time . In 2002 a supermarket opened. The state clinic was privatized in 2005 and has been used by the Asklepios specialist clinic ever since . In 2007 - for the first time in the history of the city - the celebration of the first documentary mention of the city took place 700 years ago. The BiKuT citizens' association in Schenkenländchen published a historical city guide on the occasion of the celebrations.

Administrative history

Teupitz has belonged to the Teltow district in the province of Brandenburg since 1836 and to the Königs Wusterhausen district in the GDR district of Potsdam from 1952 . The community has been in the Dahme-Spreewald district in Brandenburg since 1993.

Nemissa legend

The story of the Teupitz fisherman Cornelius and his daughter Gertrud is passed down in a legend. She was in love with a young man, Friedrich Barnikow, but, according to her father's will, was to marry a wealthy miller from Schwerin. Gertrud refused and swore eternal loyalty to her Cornelius at the Tornower See. The Wendish goddess of death and avenger of infidelity Nemissa heard this vow. Their temple sank to the bottom of the lake after the introduction of Christianity. However, Gertrud had to marry the miller, and the bridal couple celebrated on the Tornower See. Suddenly a storm came up and a vortex dragged them down. Since then, there has been no trace of the bride and groom: Nemissa holds them in their temple.
