history

Wahlsdorf was first mentioned in 1229 as Angerdorf Walistrop and at that time belonged to the diocese of Magdeburg . In the 13th century a village church was built , initially consisting only of an apse and a nave . The diocese enfeoffed the von Schlieben family in 1449 with the place, which it owned together with the von Hake family. From 1635 to 1815 the place belonged to the Saxon office of Dahme . The Junack family owned the place from the end of the 17th century to the beginning of the 18th century. From 1775 Wahlsdorf became an independent village with a noble estate, a sheep farm and a windmill , which is still preserved in the 21st century. The owners changed quite frequently as a result. For example, the von Thümen, von Meden and von Seydlitz families, who acquired it in 1812 for 27,750 thalers, have come down to us. From there the place went to the bailiff Ludwig Wilhelm Ferdinand Bohnstedt in 1815, who presumably chose his place of residence in Wahlsdorf. At that time there was already a manor house in the 1830s. In 1827 Christian Schwietzke bought the estate; he had previously worked as an administrator in the neighboring Gebersdorf. From 1857 he began growing serradella and ball of grass to reduce the existing shortage of hay. His son Gustav continued the experiments from 1868. In 1860 Wahlsdorf became Prussian. By the end of the 18th century Wahlsdorf had two mills , a brewery , a distillery , a forge and a brickworks . In the years 1887/1888 the village church was extended by a steeple . From 1899 to 1965 a small train ran through Wahlsdorf , which also stopped there.

After the end of the Second World War , the Schwietzes were expropriated and the land was distributed to new and old farmers. From 1949 to 1993 there was a school in the manor house , which was supplemented by a gymnasium in the 1970s. In 1988 another extension was added on the north side. Since the turn of the building was used by the regional training club and as the seat of culture and village association from 1993

In 1992, Liepe and Wahlsdorf merged with another 13 communities to form the Dahme / Mark district. On January 1, 1995, the municipalities of Liepe and Wahlsdorf formed the new municipality of Wahlsdorf. On October 26, 2003, the community became a district of Dahme / Mark . The manor house was restored from 1999 to 2000 and has been used as a youth hostel since 2010. There are only a few remains of the former estate park.
