Early days

The area of ​​Märkische Schweiz was already settled in the Bronze Age by Teutons from the Jastorf culture , who migrated in the 5th century.

Several millstones , awls made from bones , an iron sickle and ceramic remains were found there. With the help of shards from the Kleiner Däbersee, vessels of the settlement could be reproduced. In addition to the Volksburg, however, the area around it must have already been inhabited, which was proven by the discovery of a granite hand mill when a mansion was excavated .

13th to 16th centuries

In 1253 villam Sifiridisdorp and Buckow were first mentioned in a deed of ownership from the Archbishop of Magdeburg . With the document dated April 18, 1253, the Zinna monastery received several places to replace Müncheberg , which the Cistercians had to surrender. 1348 received the settlement at the behest of Ludwig VI. the connection to the connection from Seelow to Berlin . In the meantime it has been proven from soil finds that the settlement extended from the plain south of the Stöbbers to the later manor house on the Eberswalder Chaussee. In 1405 it came into the possession of a Poppo von Holzendorf , who sold it to Kuno von Ziegesar in 1416 . On April 17, 1432 the place was burned down by the Hussites on their way to Bernau . Five years later, another document mentioned the priest's mill for the first time ("Syferstorffsche mole gnannt, located on the Stobberow"). Its name is derived from two former preachers Willichus and Jüterbock , who once owned the mill. On 24 June 1463 a done lending of "Seuerstorf" of Frederick II. To the wife of Jost von Ziegesar. In 1534 Wolff v. Monastery below the priest mill a cutting mill. His widow, Elisabeth von Bardeleben , established a Wittum there in 1595 .

The forest cemetery was inaugurated on May 13, 1824. Around 1835 it was connected to Poststrasse, which leads from Müncheberg via Prötzel to Eberswalde . The Chausseehaus was built around five years later. During this time, the post mileage column was also set up. Since April 14, 1856, the Sieversdorf desert was administered as an independent municipality. In the days from September 17th to 22nd, 1863, the region was the scene of a royal maneuver that was carried out under the direction of Wilhelm I. On May 9, 1868, the Vorwerk burned down with the exception of a few outbuildings and was rebuilt that same year. In 1878 the road to Buckow was paved . A tax collection from 1880 showed 34 houses.
