Barn in Trebitz

The village of Trebitz is part of the municipality of Brück in the Brandenburg district of Potsdam-Mittelmark .

The place with about 250 inhabitants belongs to the nature park Hoher Fläming and is located on the southeastern edge of the nature reserve Belziger Landschaftswiesen in the Baruther glacial valley . The core of the agricultural village runs parallel to the Fläming main river Plane .

Location and natural integration

Neighbors and transport links

The eastern entrance to Trebitz is about 50 meters west of the federal highway 246 (B 246), along which the neighboring village of Gömnigk runs. Just under a kilometer northeast of the B 246 is the Brück suburb of Rottstock and then Brück itself. In the south-west of the B 246 is the Bad Belziger district of Neschholz, around four kilometers away .

Directly to the west is the village of Baitz , which is also part of the city of Brück as a district, about three kilometers away as the crow flies . However, Baitz cannot be reached directly by road, but only via the Neschholz detour. The direct connection from Trebitz to Baitz on the southern edge of the Belziger Landschaftswiesen, which is shown on maps, is closed to car traffic and is part of the approximately 960-kilometer-long R1 European Cycle Route (also known as the Brandenburg Tour), which crosses the tarpaulin and then continues to Brück parallel to the Kleine Plane leads. Between the two Brücker villages Trebitz and Baitz is the Neschholzer Heide, the district of Neschholz and thus the town of Bad Belzig, which stretches over the cycle path for a short distance into the landscape meadows. In a southerly direction, the Neschholzer Wühlmühle follows the tarpaulin . In the north, Trebitz has no neighbors, because the landscape meadows that extend to the north are free of settlement.

The route of the Wetzlarer Bahn , the railway line between Berlin and Dessau , runs through Trebitz . The regional express (RE 7) runs every hour to Berlin and Bad Belzig and every two hours to Dessau (from Bad Belzig). However, Trebitz does not have a train station; the next stops are in Brück or near Baitz.

Planetal and landscape meadows

While the main town of Brück is already outside the Hoher Fläming Nature Park , Trebitz is on the eastern edge still within the large conservation area . The village has formed at the entrance of the tarpaulin to the Belziger landscape meadows. Here the river cuts through a small chain of hills in the Belziger Vorfläming, which narrows the Baruther glacial valley from eight kilometers in the area of ​​the Belziger landscape meadows to three kilometers in the passage near Brück. To the southwest of the valley and from Trebitz, the chain of hills with the Fuchsberg (64 meters) and the Räuberberg (69 meters) rises around 20 meters above the level of the landscape meadows and the glacial valley, which fluctuates between 40 and 44 meters above sea ​​level . The western part of the small plateau is covered by the Neschholzer Heide, which in turn slopes west to the valley of the Streckerbach and Baitzer Bach .

To the northeast, between Trebitz and Brück, a forest area follows in a slightly elevated position along the Kleine Plane. The Belziger Landschaftswiesen nature reserve to the west is now part of the European bird sanctuary Unteres Rhinluch, Dreetzer See, Havelländisches Luch and Belziger Landschaftswiesen in the Natura 2000 protected area system as a SPA = Special Protection Area . Counts at the beginning of the 21st century listed a total of around 160 bird species, including 110 meadow breeders. 30 of these birds are on Germany's Red List of Endangered Species .

These include, for example, the corncrake ( Crex crex ; also meadow rail ), a bird that is threatened with extinction in some Central European countries and threatened worldwide, or the endangered lapwing ( Vanellus vanellus ), the bird of the year 1996. The flow moor of the landscape meadows also forms a preferred passage , Resting and wintering area for migratory birds . The main focus of the conservationists, who maintain a nature protection station and bird sanctuary in the neighboring village of Baitz, is the particularly endangered Brandenburg ostrich , the great bustard ( Otis Tarda ). With a weight of up to 18 kilograms, the great bustards are among the heaviest birds in the world that can fly after the African giant bustards ( Ardeotis kori ). (See in detail Belziger Landschaftswiesen .)

history

Trebitz is probably an old Slavic foundation. At least the name goes back to the Slavic period, which ended in 1157 with the founding of the Margrave of Brandenburg by the first Margrave Albrecht the Bear . The oldest written record as villam trebegoz comes from the year 1251. In 1476 the name Trebegatz and already in 1526 the current name Trebitz , which, according to Reinhard E. Fischer, was pronounced dialectively Tree: ewitz with a long open diphthong e . The place name means place of the Trebegost and is based on a Slavic personal name (lit .: Reinhard E. Fischer). As the name of six villages, communities or districts, Trebitz occurs relatively often in Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt .

Like the entire Brücker / Belziger region, Trebitz also belonged to the area whose ownership changed between the Margraviate of Meißen , the Margraviate of Brandenburg and the Archdiocese of Magdeburg . It was not until the Congress of Vienna in 1815 that the northern part of the Saxon spa district finally fell to Prussia . Up until this point in time, the Belziger landscape meadows formed the border between the Kingdom of Saxony and the Mark Brandenburg. In the immediately neighboring Gömnigk, the influential Cistercian monks of the Lehnin monastery had owned the mill since August 6, 1251, according to the register of registers: Donation from Count Bederich v. Belzig: a mill near Rottstock on the Plane river with all the waters up to the village of Trebegotz . In doing so, the monks from the Brandenburg Zauche extended their sphere of influence into what was already Saxon at that time and tried to support the development of the state and the settlement policy of the Brandenburg Ascanian margraves . (Lit .: Warnatsch)

Incorporation

Trebitz was incorporated into Brück on February 1, 1974.

Village and economy today

In contrast to the artisanal Brück, Trebitz is a traditionally and still today agriculturally oriented village which, despite its exposed location on the edge of the Belzig landscape meadows, has little share in the recent tourist boom in various villages in the Hoher Fläming Nature Park.
While many of these villages - like the neighboring village of Gömnigk - have medieval stone churches that are worth seeing , the comparatively unspectacular Trebitz village church dates from more recent times, but is nevertheless a listed building . The church was built in the neo-Gothic style in 1897/98 by the construction company of master mason G. Koeber from Lehnin , after the old church burned down on July 22, 1894. The church furnishings are from the construction period. The beautiful pulpit was created by the court sculptor Gustav Kuntzsch from Wernigerode / Harz.

However, the quiet, wide landscape has attracted some young people who have been running the Dreiseitenhof Torhaus Trebitz since spring 2005 and who, according to their own account, are trying to contribute to a world free of nuclear power, violence and domination.

Field near Trebitz in the Bad Belziger landscape meadows

Since the fields and arable land on both sides of the tarpaulin extend deep into the landscape meadows, agriculture is characterized by the inclusion in the nature conservation ordinance Belziger Landschaftswiesen under the term of contractual nature conservation . Of the 2461 hectares of the total nature reserve (the Trebitz share is unclear), a little more than half of the agricultural use is available for arable farming, as pasture and for hay production. The economic interests are brought into harmony with the requirements of nature conservation , for example by dividing this area again into three zones with different usage restrictions. The arable land, on the other hand, is partly based on the medieval multi-field economy with alternating strips of grain, peas, lupins, rape, clover and potatoes, because the resulting mosaic of rotational and permanent fallow land offers the great bustard the ecologically necessary breeding and feeding areas (cf. in detail Belziger landscape meadows, chapter nature protection as interest management and chapter meadow and landscape maintenance ).

Footnotes

  1. ↑ As part of the municipality of Brück, there are no longer any separate censuses for Trebitz. According to a telephone call on July 31, 2006, the Brück registration office estimates the number of inhabitants in Trebitz to be around 250. This number corresponds roughly to this exact count from 1900 with 294 inhabitants and to the typical regional and village emigration since that time. After that, the number could be even lower and is probably somewhere between 200 and 250 inhabitants.
