history
Wiesenburg
The Burgward Wiesenburg was first mentioned in a document in 1161. Wiesenburg is a member of the working group "Historic Village Centers in the State of Brandenburg" .
Reetz
The Burgward Reetz was first mentioned in a document in 1161.
Reetzer huts
The village was founded in the 18th century as part of the early modern "industrialization measures" of the Brandenburg sovereigns. The Reetz huts were used for pitch and charcoal smelting and glass production . The raw materials for this were provided by the beech and oak forests, which were still widespread at the time, and the fine sand of the terminal moraine landscape. Gradually, the farmers working in the huts settled in the area around the huts and founded their own villages (e.g. Medewitzerhütten near Medewitz, Neuehütten near Wiesenburg, Jeserigerhütten near Jeserig, Glashütte near Mützdorf, etc.). Characteristic for these settlements are the street village-like layout and the lack of a church .
Arensnest
Arensnest is located in the middle of the Hoher Fläming Nature Park . The first mention of the settlement comes from the year 1524. In 1570 a Vorwerk was built here. There has been a sheep farm here for hundreds of years. The name of the settlement is derived from the Middle Low German arn for eagle and nest , which means nest .
Wiesenburg / Mark municipality
The history of the (large) community goes back to 1992. On June 24, 1992, the Minister of the Interior of the State of Brandenburg approved the formation of the Wiesenburg Office . June 30, 1992 was set as the date on which the office was established. The office was based in the municipality of Wiesenburg and initially consisted of 13 municipalities in what was then the Belzig district : Wiesenburg, Neuehütten, Reetzerhütten, Lehnsdorf, Medewitz, Grubo, Jeserig, Mützdorf, Klepzig, Benken, Jeserigerhütten, Schlamau and Reetz. On October 20, 1992 the municipality of Reppinichen (Belzig district) was assigned to the Wiesenburg office. On December 1, 2001, the 14 member municipalities of the office merged to form the new municipality of Wiesenburg / Mark. The Wiesenburg office was dissolved, and the Wiesenburg / Mark community was vacant.
With an area of 218 km², Wiesenburg / Mark is one of the largest communities in Germany .
