history

14th to 17th centuries

Wüstemark was first mentioned in 1317 as the village de Gerhardstorp without any further information. In 1375 Gerhartstorpp , Gerhartsstorff , Gerartstorp and Gerhardstorff appeared in Charles IV's land book. At that time it was 43 hooves , of which the pastor owned three parish hooves that were free of taxes. As a result, there must have already been a village church at that time . A Schulze and four Kötter still lived in the village ; there was a jug . The upper and lower courts lay with the margrave. He was also entitled to manual and tensioning services , the bede and a grain bead, which apparently belonged to Mittenwalde. All other income, including ceded shares from those from Schlieben was loaned to numerous citizens from Berlin and the surrounding area: The citizen Gortzk zu Berlin received income from seven hooves, the Beschoren family from Beelitz over four hooves, the citizen Reiche in Cölln over 24 hooves, the Sünde family in Berlin has 20 hooves and the Reiche family in Berlin over 13 hooves.

In 1450, Gerestorff appeared in a castle register with 43 hooves, three of which were parish hooves. However, only 15 hooves were occupied and only one fawn. Before 1450 part of the village came under the rule of Wusterhausen ; from the time before 1471 there were 14 hooves. Before 1471, those from Enderlein zu Miersdorf received 27 hooves. The division was apparently the result of a comparison between von Enderlein and von Schlieben about the use of the Feldmark , which had now apparently fallen into desolation . This was still mentioned as a village in 1469, but was apparently no longer occupied. The two families agree that the von Enderlein family would retain the right to guard the entire Feldmark for their farmers in Miersdorf, even if the von Schlieben would set up a sheep farm there. In the event that farmers are resettled on the deserted Feldmark, the von Enderlein should receive a proportion of the income from 27 Hufen, the von Schlieben from 14 Hufen, plus the tenth . A hundred years later there had obviously been no change, because in 1571 the Feldmark would still be run as desolate, even if it was partly owned by the von Enderlein and the von Landsberg taverns . The shares of those from Enderlein were confirmed again in 1536 and beyond the Thirty Years War in 1693. In 1680 the pastor from Deutsch Wusterhausen received the bushel of rye from the Gersdorf field. The von Enderlein could not meet their obligations in view of the desolate farms, as the files showed that they owed 25 bushels of rye a year.

It was not until 1709 that the estate of those von Enderlein on the desert field mark with the buildings on it fell to the royal family. From there it was awarded to a Herr von Gersdorff. A year later, in 1710, a Vorwerk Görstorff appeared for the first time , which consisted of a dairy farm of 12 containers (“quite dilapidated”), a barn of 19 containers and a mutton house of 12 containers. In 1719 both shares were brought together again and came under the rule of King Wusterhausen . 1743 appeared a Gersdorf with a Vorwerk and a jug on a now (?) Deserted field; In 1753 a dairy farm was mentioned succinctly; 1773 an aristocratic Vorwerk.

In 1801 there was a "colony not far from Waltersdorf on the desert field mark Gersdorf, which also includes Wüstemark". Meanwhile two hermits had settled down; there were two fireplaces (= households) and 16 residents. In another document the name Wustermark appeared for the first time . The Vorwerk was mentioned in 1817 and 1840 as a Vorwerk, "belonging to Miersdorf". In 1860/1861 the combination Wüstemark Görsdorf appeared for the first time , later the district was only called Wüstemark . At that time it consisted of a forester's house and two residential buildings, while the Miersdorf district consisted of three residential and three farm buildings. There was also a protected area of ​​Wüstemark and the manor district of Königs Wusterhausen Forest. In 1929 the Wüstemark manor district was divided up. Around 500 hectares of land went to the rural community of Kiekebusch, around 300 hectares to the rural community of Miersdorf and one hectare to the rural community of Schulzendorf. Three years later, Wüstemark became a residential area of ​​Miersdorf and stayed there in 1950. In 1957 Wüstemark became a district of Zeuthen. There has been a Wüstemark district forester of the state forestry company in Königs Wusterhausen since 1973.
