Torgelow is a part of the municipality of Dannenberg / Mark , a district of the municipality of Falkenberg in the district of Märkisch-Oderland (Brandenburg). The municipality of Falkenberg is administered by the Falkenberg-Höhe office and is also the seat of the office. The medieval village of Torgelow (or Torgow) had fallen into desolation by the middle of the 14th century. At the end of the 16th century, the new Torgelow Vorwerk was built west of the old village, from which today's place of this name developed. To the southeast of the old village, the Vorwerk Platz was built a few years before 1700 ; it burned down in 1890 and was not rebuilt. Finally, at the end of the 19th century, the Dannenberg district of Platzfelde was built in the old village . The modern Torgelow formed an estate district, which was united with the community of Dannenberg / Mark in 1928, so it was never an independent rural community.

Geographical location

Today's Torgelow is about 2 km south of Dannenberg. It can be reached via a small connecting road that branches off from the L 35 (Dannenberg / Mark to Harnekop). Torgelow is now part of the Dannenberg / Mark district. At Torgelow is the highest point of the Barnim with 152 m.

The medieval village

Due to the lack of documents, almost nothing is known about the history of the medieval village of Torgelow in the historical landscape of Barnim , also called Torgow in some (later) documents. It was at the location of today's Platzfelde residential area, at the intersection of the B 158 and the L 36. According to the mayor of Freienwalde Prenzlow, who was in office at the beginning of the 18th century, the surrounding wall of the churchyard was still present or visible at the old village location , and which lay on the Freienwalder half of the field mark. Since the older documents are all in Torgow or similar, the name Torgelow only came up in the 17th century, Schlimpert assumes an old Polish basic form * Torgov- = place where the market is held. He reckons that the name was transferred from Torgau / Elbe, but does not rule out an independent naming. In modern times, however, the name Torgelow became common, presumably also an approximation to the Mecklenburg Torgelow .

The medieval village must have fallen in desolation by or before the middle of the 14th century, because it is not (no longer) mentioned in the land register of 1375. The village was already desolate when it was first mentioned in 1422. Half of the desert field mark belonged to the von Pfuel at that time , which they, however, as an afterlehen of the v. Uchtenhagen held. The V. Uchtenhagen had been enfeoffed by the Brandenburg margrave with the small rule of Freienwalde; the rule of Freienwalde thus included Torgelow (or Torgow). In 1471 Hans v. Pfuel on this property in favor of his cousins ​​Christoph and Wilhelm v. Pfuel. The sovereign gave his consent. In 1477 the v. Pfuel this half of the Feldmark to the city of Freienwalde for 50 shock groschen. Her direct liege lord Caspar v. Uchtenhagen his consent. In 1575 a division agreement was signed between Hans and Werner v. Uchtenhagen on one side and the city of Freienwalde on the other. The Heerweg from Freienwalde to Berlin (today's B 158 ) was set as the border. The city of Freienwalde received the left half of the Feldmark (i.e. the southeastern part), the v. Uchtenhagen kept the part of the field mark that was on the right hand of the Heerweg (i.e. the north-western part). The medieval village ecclesiastically belonged to the Sedes Strausberg.

The modern village of Torgelow

After 1575 a farm and a sheep farm was built on the Uchtenhagen half. After the reign of Freienwalde passed to the sovereign in 1618 and its conversion into a sovereign office, the Vorwerk Torgelow became the official seat of the Freienwalde office . In 1618 19 oxen, 926 sheep, 10 horses and 25 pigs were kept on the farm. Little is known about Torgelow's fate during the Thirty Years' War . Presumably the Vorwerk had been destroyed and the Feldmark was overgrown again. In 1695 a new Maier or residential house was built. In 1698 there was a dispute with the city of Freienwalde over the guardianship right on the urban half of Feldmark Torgelow (Vorwerk Platz), which claimed the office of Freienwalde. In 1704 a shepherd's house and a sheepfold with 26 containers are mentioned. 600 to 700 sheep were kept on the farm, along with 12 cows and an unknown number of pigs. In the meantime, so much of the field had been cleared that 13 to 14 wispel could be sown. However, there was still a lot of shrubbery, i.e. H. uncleared field. In 1736 the size of the Vorwerk is given as 1369 acres (one acre of 180 square rods ), of which 1156 acres were arable, 188 acres of overgrown unused arable, 4 acres of gardens and 19 acres of meadows. The animal population was: 10 cows, 5 head cattle, 600 sheep, pigs and poultry. In the winter field, the field carried 4 to 4.5 times the sowing, in the summer field even 4.5 to 5 times the sowing.

From 1747 the Vorwerk was leased to the Great Military Orphanage in Potsdam. The annual rent at that time was 596 thalers 15 groschen. In 1766, the Torgelow Vorwerk included 1,177 acres of fields, 167 acres of overgrown fields, 53 acres of meadows and 5 acres of gardens, totaling 1,402 acres. There were 24 cattle and 900 sheep. The Vorwerk was managed by the bailiff Münchehoff in 1766; 36 oxen, 14 head of cattle and 700 sheep were kept. Barley and oats were grown in the fields. The field was not particularly fertile because 300 acres were 3 and 6 year old land, i.e. H. these fields could only be sown every three or six years. In 1782/83 a Büdner colony with eight Büdner families was established on Torgelow.

In 1801 it was (still) an inheritance deposit from the Great Military Orphanage in Potsdam. At that time, 4 Büdner and 4 granny families lived in addition to the bailiff on Torgelow, a total of 47 people in nine residential buildings. In 1811 the copperplate engraver Prof. Johann Friedrich Frick got the Torgelow and Sonnenburg farms on lease in return for inheritance money of 10,000 thalers and an annual contribution of 1160 thalers. The contract began with Trinity (= May 22nd) 1812. By 1820 the Heerstraße between the Sternkrug and Freienwalde had been expanded to become a Chaussee. Frick began building a new manor house in Sonnenburg as early as 1812. The annual rent was reduced to 856 thalers due to these investments. In 1830 Frick received the "property of a manor suitable for the state assembly" for his goods Torgelow and Sonnenburg. This trait was passed on to his legitimate offspring, provided that the two goods were not separated or were separated without royal permission. The two outworks were later given to him for a small purchase price. In 1836 he sold the Torgelow and Sonnenburg farms for 60,000 thalers to the reindeer August Kabrun.

August Kabrun in turn sold the two works in 1840 again for 58,000 thalers to the Baroness Auguste von Goellnitz nee. Olberg, wife of Baron Hans von Goellnitz. In 1840 there were 9 residential buildings in Sonnenburg, and the forestry department built north of the property had a residential building. In 1848 the baroness sold the Sonnenburg / Torgelow estate for 116,000 thalers to Johann Gottfried Kreitling from Niederschönhausen . He swapped Sonnenburg and Torgelow for Gut Landhof near Wriezen, which belonged to Berlin-based Carl Hellwig. Hellwig leased the property to Andreas Ackermann; his son Adolf Ackermann succeeded him as tenant. In 1851 Hellwig went bankrupt and Hans Grunow acquired the estate for 83,100 thalers from the bankruptcy estate. In 1852 he sold it again to the merchant Hermann Jung for 95,800 thalers. In 1860 there were 7 residential buildings and 11 farm buildings in Torgelow.

The conservation area Freienwalder Forst or Torgelow with a forester's house and two farm buildings was also included in Torgelow. In 1864 the Sonnenburg / Torgelow estate was separated; Jung sold Torgelow for 100,000 thalers to the manor owner Wilhelm von Jena , who was based in Cöthen . Torgelow now formed its own manor district. In 1890, a new school building in Torgelow was built from the building materials from the old church in Dannenberg.

Around 1900 (according to the topographic maps 1: 25,000 3249 Heckelberg and 3250 Bad Freienwalde) Torgelow, Platzfelde and Platz formed their own manor districts or protective districts. At the time of the Mark Brandenburg , from 1817 in the province of Brandenburg , Torgelow was in the Oberbarnim district . After the district reform of 1952, Torgelow belonged to the Bad Freienwalde district , and from 1993 to the Märkisch-Oderland district.

In 1928 the Torgelow manor district (as well as the Torgelow protection district) was incorporated into Dannenberg / Mark. In 1932 Torgelow was a residential area of ​​the Dannenberg community. In 1964 and 1973, however, Torgelow was referred to as a district of Dannenberg.

Dannenberg / Mark merged with eight other municipalities in 1992 to form the Falkenberg-Höhe district. On December 31, 2001, the municipalities of Dannenberg / Mark, Falkenberg / Mark and Kruge / Gersdorf formed the new municipality of Falkenberg. Since then, Dannenberg / Mark has been a district of Falkenberg, Torgelow an inhabited district of Dannenberg / Mark.
