Wildenbruch district in the municipality of Michendorf

Wildenbruch is a district of the municipality Michendorf in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district in Brandenburg .

The place has including the municipal parts Wildenbruch-Bergheide , Wildenbruch-Lehnmarke and Wildenbruch-Six 2,316 inhabitants on an area of ​​11.22 km² and is on the state road  73 between Michendorf and Luckenwalde on the edge of the Nuthe-Nieplitz nature reserve . The district extends in the area between the federal highway 2 in the west, the federal highway 10 in the north and the Großer Seddiner See in the south.

The place is known regionally for its massive stone church and the Seddiner See golf and country club , whose two 18-hole golf courses on the north shore of the lake extend entirely in the Wildenbruchs area. In the Middle Ages, the village had an important strategic function to protect the military and trade route as well as the later postal route Leipzig - Berlin and was accordingly generously equipped with the German East Settlement .

Geological location

Wildenbruch is located on the edge of a glacial meltwater runoff from Ferch , in the eastern part of the Zauche , over the (present-day) Great and Small Lienewitzsee and Karinchensee first to the south, then over the Seddiner Fenn, the Seddiner lakes and the Langen Grund through the Fresdorfer Heide flowed eastwards towards Saarmund into the Trebbin-Potsdam drainage line. In this plain between the Saarmunder terminal moraine and the Teltow plateau , the Nuthe and Nieplitz flow today . The channel basin lakes of the Seddiner chain of lakes form a relic of the Ice Age drainage channel. The Seddiner See was formed on a subordinate lobe seam . The village center of Wildenbruch lies on the north-eastern edge of the Wildenbruch Bay of the Great Seddiner See, which today encompasses 218 hectares, at an altitude of 41 meters above sea ​​level . The highest point is the Michendorfer Berg at 79 meters above sea ​​level on the eastern edge of the Bergheide settlement.

history

Etymology and first documentary mention

The name Wildenbruch refers to the still partly swampy surroundings of the village. Wildenbruch was first mentioned as Wildenbruke in the land book of Charles IV in 1375 . Reinhard E. Fischer traces the name back to a name transfer from the Belgian town of Willebroek , which is noted in 1180 as Wildebroc . "This name describes a settlement near a wild, barren swamp" or break . The land book records Wildenbruch with a high-turnover jug on a trade route. The current location of Lehnmarke is also noted as a place of residence in 1375. The locations Six and Bergheide emerged after 1928 as pure forest settlements.

Early settlement, Teutons and Slavs

Findings in the soil at the Seddiner lakes indicate the first seasonal settlements more than 10,000 years ago, the transition period from Neolithic hunter and collector cultures to settled farmers with domesticated animals and plants. Finds of pottery shards on the Wildenbrucher Rötberg and during the restoration of the church suggest that the region was inhabited by the Semnones , the Germanic branch of the Elbe-Germanic Suebi . After the migration of Germans from the 3rd and 4th centuries towards Schwaben went to probably largely empty settlements east of the Elbe room on the 6th and 7th century Slavs one. Numerous finds in Wildenbruch attest to the Slavic settlement activity. The Zauche and Seddiner lakes were part of the late Slavic settlement movement:

The isthmus between the Großer Seddiner and Kähnsdorfer See with the former trade and post route on the painting Am Seddiner See bei Kähnsdorf by Carl Schuch from 1880

"Only in the 11th or 12th century did the late Slavic settlement penetrate the plateau - to a rather sparse extent - in the south of the Lehnin chain of lakes, south of the Schwielowsee , on the Seddinsee and in the area of ​​Beelitz."

- Stephan Warnatsch : History of the Lehnin Monastery

East German settlement and strategic importance (12th to 14th centuries)

It is not known when exactly the East German settlement after the founding of the Mark Brandenburg by Albrecht in 1157 put the bear in Wildenbruch. Allegedly there are indications of a settlement as early as 1175, which means that the late Slavic and German settlements would have occurred almost at the same time. During the Ascanian division of land between the Ottonian and Johannine lines in 1258 , the Zauche and with it Wildenbruch fell to Margrave Otto III. The land register of 1375 gives 59 Hufen arable and pasture land for Wildenbruch  . This, as in the neighboring village of Fresdorf, was generously equipped with land and above-average settlement with farmers, which was strategically justified. Wildenbruch and Fresdorf were supposed to secure an army and trade route, especially at its most endangered point, the isthmus between the Kähnsdorfer See and the Seddiner See. This is also documented by the Burgwall corridor, an almost rectangular piece of land, but without any fortification marks, which lies 200 m west of the village in a swampy meadow area. It is probably an early German system. The later Poststrasse existed in Wildenbruch until the dam was built through the Seddiner See in 1804, which significantly shortened the previous cumbersome north connection from Treuenbrietzen via Beelitz , Kähnsdorf , Wildenbruch, Saarmund, Michendorf to Potsdam with the direct connection Beelitz - Michendorf (today's B 2 ). Today's Alte Poststraße in Wildenbruch is part of the historical route connection.

Wildenbruch in the conflict between sovereignty and landed gentry

The trade route connected Leipzig and Wittenberg with Berlin on a national level . In the 15./16. In the 18th century, securing it played a major role in the conflicts between the sovereigns and the plundering and robbing aristocracy .

Blocking of the north route by the Quitzows (15th century)

Courtyard in Dorfstrasse

In the final phase of the Luxembourg rule under Jobst von Moravia around 1410, the Quitzows ruled the important castles Rathenow , Friesack , Bötzow , Köpenick and Saarmund and thus all entrances to Berlin / Cölln . This also interrupted the northern route between Wildenbruch and Saarmund. Wildenbruch was probably tied to Beelitz at that time. In the Codex diplomaticus Brandenburgensis , Riedel reports that “the village of Wildenbruch paid a total of 7 almond groschen a year to several citizens of Beelitz, and that the farmers had to give three Beelitz shillings as well as three coin pfennigs to interest . “Beelitz belonged to the Brandenburg city federation, which had come together in 1393 to maintain the peace and in which the cities committed themselves in a document to equip armed men and riflemen according to their economic strength . On October 30, 1412, Sigismund von Luxemburg gave the two Quitzow brothers and their ally Kaspar Gans zu Putlitz before his court . On April 4 and 5, 1413 it was contractually stipulated that Johann "Hans" von Quitzow was allowed to keep his castles, but had to surrender the castle and city of Saarmund - the north route was open again.

On November 25, 1420, Elector Friedrich I , the first ruling Hohenzoller in the Mark Brandenburg, pledged some of the uplifts of Beelitz and the villages of Schönefeld and Wildenbruch to the bailiff of Wittbrietzen , Trebbin and Beelitz . On February 4, 1454, Friedrich II. ("The Iron") transferred some interest and pensions from Wildenbruch to the Beelitz Church and on March 27, 1454 to the Wretched Guild in Beelitz.

Land rider for road protection (16th century)

In 1550 the village was a pawn from the von Rochow family , who were one of the most influential families in the Zauche in the late Middle Ages . The neighboring villages of Michendorf, Fresdorf and Langerwisch , however, belonged to the electoral office of Saarmund. However, in 1563 the office requested the farmers from Wildenbruch to do manual and tensioning services. In the 16th century, securing the trade route gained importance again.

Alte Poststraße, southeast of the Wildenbruch village center

“Under Elector Joachim I Nestor , who had ascended the throne only 15 years old, the nobility, using the great youth of the Elector, allowed themselves to shake off the yoke imposed on them and to renew the old times of licentiousness. Robberies of merchants and other travelers on the country roads were again the order of the day. Measured threatening ordinances and prohibitions of such transgressions were issued in response to the multiple complaints of the Brandenburg subjects, and when these were unsuccessful, he beheaded a number of these robber barons, who were caught in the act, and decreed that the towns and villages should also be overseers who had to clean the highways of the robbers. "

- Carl Schneider : Chronicle of the city of Beelitz ..., 1888

In 1599 Joachim Friedrich had the Mittelmark divided into six Landreiter districts, so-called Beritte, including the Beritt Beelitz. The land riders secured the roads and also had the authority to collect taxes and other charges. By 1608 at the latest, Wildenbruch was part of the Zauche district in Beritt Beelitz.

Thirty Years War, Plague and Recreation through Crafts (17th / 18th Century)

During the Thirty Years' War , part of the Swedish Army set up camp near Tremsdorf in 1630/31 and demanded war tributes from the surrounding villages. From January 13, 1631, 1,000 Swedes plundered Wildenbruch for three days, slaughtered cattle and confiscated eleven horses. On October 24, 1631, the Swedes returned to the village and burned down the village mug after a carousing party. At the same time, a third of the population (51 of around 150) fell victim to the plague wave . In 1637 the plague raged again in the village and Swedish mercenaries continued to march through Wildenbruch. At the end of the war in 1648, 6 of 18 farms and cottages remained. It was only around 50 years later, in 1694, that the devastated Dorfkrug was rebuilt.

At the beginning of the 18th century, Wildenbruch gradually recovered from the consequences of the war and the plague. The tailoring trade was founded in 1718 . In 1722 the first 26 mulberry trees were planted in the churchyard  . The mercantilist motivated silkworm breeding , which was supposed to make Prussia more independent of foreign silk deliveries, was then systematically developed and promoted by Frederick the Great in Wildenbruch. There were numerous mulberry plantations until the end of the 19th century. In 1732 Wildenbruch got a forge and in 1737 eight hoofless houses were occupied by day laborers , craftsmen and the village shepherd .

Napoleonic Wars and the Zauch-Belzig district (19th century)

The Napoleonic Wars once again brought severe strains for the village. In 1806 around 14,000 Napoleonic soldiers and riders lay in front of Wildenbruch, 4773 horses had to be looked after. 165 officers quartered themselves directly in the houses of the village. 13,795 soldiers were housed in barns and tents. The occupiers requisitioned 7 cows, 2 oxen, 340 sheep, 135 pigs, 290 geese, 288 chickens and 1000  bushels of grain. After Napoleon's defeat in the Wars of Liberation , the districts in the Prussian state were restructured after the Congress of Vienna . Since 1818 Wildenbruch has belonged to the newly founded district of Zauch-Belzig as an independent municipality . On December 1, 1875, the place had 237 and December 1, 1890 245 inhabitants. Although the old thatched courtyards had largely been replaced by compact houses and farm buildings by the middle of the 19th century, five farms fell victim to a major fire on January 27, 1884.

Multiplication of the population (20th / 21st century)

In 1910 the number of inhabitants had slightly decreased compared to 1890 and was 233. In the following decades the number rose steadily. In 1925 it was 405, in 1933 it was 831 and in 1939 it was 1141. In 1945 it rose to 1457, then decreased and in 1992 it reached the level of 1939 again at 1117. Since then, Wildenbruch has again recorded strong increases of 1223 inhabitants in 1996 to 1851 in 2009. The increase in the early 1930s was due to the founding of the forest settlements Six and Bergheide, which were created for the influx of emigrants from the former provinces of Posen and West Prussia as well as Berliners. As in other places in the suburb of Berlin , the increases occurred contrary to the other development in Brandenburg. The admission of refugees from World War II and bombed-out Berlin families led to a further increase in the 1940s.

At the beginning of the 1930s, the Reichsfachgruppe for beekeeping set up one of the largest honey bee farms in the region on the corner of Hauptstrasse and Grenzstrasse . The apiaries existed with changing ownership until 1978. During the National Socialist era , Wildenbruch, like the neighboring villages of Fresdorf and Stücken , in which the NSDAP vote was even higher, was one of the National Socialist strongholds. In the Reichstag elections in July 1932 , the NSDAP achieved an absolute majority with a share of 56%. In the Battle of Berlin at the end of the Second World War, the outer ring of the imperial capital ran directly through Wildenbruch along the north bank of the Great Seddiner See. On April 23, 1945 the 3rd Panzer Grenadier Army of the Red Army rolled over the ring without much resistance. The village mill burned down in the fighting.

In 1952, the GDR dissolved the regional structure and Wildenbruch came to the Potsdam district in the new Potsdam district . In the same year the Agricultural Production Cooperative (LPG) was formed, in which in 1960 all farmers from Wildenbruch were united, partly by force. At the end of 1965, the LPG distributed a year-end payment to its members as a profit sharing for the first time. In 1973 the LPG Wildenbruch was merged with farms in the neighboring villages to form larger production units. Between 1970 and 1989 free plots were developed for local recreation . Many citizens from the metropolitan areas of Halle , Leipzig , Bitterfeld , Magdeburg and Berlin / Potsdam built their weekend homes in the Wildenbruch community .

After the fall of the Wall , the 185 hectare course of the Seddiner See golf and country club and a residential area for high demands were built on the fallow fields of the LPG above the north shore of the Großer Seddiner See . In 1990 Wildenbruch received a new elementary school building, which was expanded by a second wing in 1994 and a third wing in 2009. In 1995 the village was partially connected to the central sewage disposal system and in 1996 another area for private homes was opened up on Saarmunder Weg. This was followed by the construction of a new sports and multi-purpose hall and the fire station. As part of the village renewal, the old school opposite the village church was renovated. 2005 was participatory Wildenbruchplatz as a village community center opened.

Since October 26, 2003, Wildenbruch has been one of six districts of the municipality of Michendorf in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district formed in 1993 .

Development of the community parts

The three parts of the municipality Lehnmarke, Bergheide and Six lie west of the Wildenbruch village center and include parts of the Kunersdorfer Forest . The area of ​​the Six estate extends beyond Bundesstraße 2 . Two roads paved only after the fall of the Wall lead from the B2 through the settlements to the village center of Wildenbruch.

Because of the immediate location on Autobahn 10 (Berliner Ring) , which is to be further expanded there from 2013, citizens from Bergheide and Six have been calling for the noise protection initiative to revise the previous noise protection concept since 2010 . For this purpose, a feasibility study was commissioned to determine the extent to which the noise barriers can be optimized with the help of the solar panels provided. The further demand to reduce the expansion plans of the Michendorf service area could not be enforced. In the meantime, the use of porous asphalt has been approved for part of the continuous carriageway . According to complaints from the citizens' initiative, the afforestation as a compensatory measure for the environment is now being carried out locally instead of at Ribbeck or Thyrow as originally planned .

Brick production in Lehnmarke

Like Wildenbruch, the part of the municipality Lehnmarke was first mentioned in a document in 1375 in the land book of Emperor Charles IV. The land book gives the size of the place with ten hooves . It is very likely that Lehmarke was also settled in the course of the German settlement in the east. It is controversial among historians whether the earlier turning mark and loan mark are identical. What is certain is that the Slavs ( Wends ) living here were ousted from Wildenbruch and then resettled in the Lehnmarke as Kossäts.

Bergheide settlement, 2010

Initiated by the Cistercian monks of the Lehnin monastery , clay mining and brick production in the Zauche and Havelland gained great economic importance since the 15th century; the nearby industrial monument brickworks museum in Glindow documents the work of the brickworks. In the middle of the 19th century a brick factory was built in Lehnmarke, which was closed again in 1908. Of this loan mark 2 - which today belongs to the neighboring village of Neuseddin - only one house remained. Below Lehnmarkes on the loop around the Großer Seddiner See, several clay holes testify to the past of clay mining. The Kähnsdorf home parlor shows old perforated bricks that were used to weigh down fishing gear. A street in Lehnmarke still consists of extra hard burnt old stones that were used to pave the way.

The face of Lehnmark today is characterized by private homes that stretch right down to the lake shore and that were mainly created during the settlement movements of the 20th century. At the beginning of the 21st century, an upscale residential complex was built above the old settlement, which is part of the overall project of the golf club and which is to be expanded to include a hotel.

Bergheide and Six

The Bergheide settlement got its name after its elevated position in a coniferous forest and was created after 1928. The forest belonged to farmers from Wildenbruch who sold it to an investor around 1920. The new owner had the forest parceled out and mainly sold the parcels to wealthy Berliners who initially used the land as a weekend property. Plans to extend the Berlin S-Bahn to the autobahn and to build a small chapel came to nothing when the Second World War began . Until 1976, the Bergheider family supplied themselves with drinking water from four pumps and a few private wells . Between 1976 and 1978, the residents built a pump house and laid water pipes on their own.

The Six settlement was built around 1933 and bears its name after Six-Baustoff-Handelsgesellschaft mbH , which submitted offers for the construction of a forest settlement with unit houses in 1935. However, because of the beginning of the Second World War, only two houses were built by the settlement company. After that, houses were allowed to be built according to their own plans. Alfred Rosenberg , head of the Reich Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories (RMfdbO), had a camp built in the forest of the small settlement in 1943, which was connected to Neuseddin by a railway siding. Ukrainian slave laborers worked in the camp of the so-called East Ministry . After the end of the war, the barracks were dismantled and the bunkers blown up. The residents made use of the camp's waterworks by connecting their settlement to the plant with a water pipe on their own initiative. The resulting private water company existed until 1972 and then became part of the state water management company in Potsdam.

Social infrastructure

Field stone church and religion

see main article: Wildenbruch village church

The construction of the field stone church Wildenbruch is assigned to the beginning or the middle of the 13th century. Despite their massive broad-tower and its one-meter thick walls, the building is not contrary to conflicting views fortified church and no church castle . There was also a lack of opportunities for active defense such as loopholes and high defensive walls around the church, as well as spatial options for storing food.

Field stone church Wildenbruch from the 13th century

The Cistercian monks of the Lehnin monastery are said to have advised on the construction of the church from extremely brittle and hard granite chunks . The west tower is layered from almost cube-shaped hewn field stones and has a length of 5.85 and a width of 11.55 meters. It exceeds the width of the nave , which is 10.5 m (length 11.2 m). A narrow choir (width 8.25 m, length 5.85 m) and an equally narrow apse adjoin the nave . The medieval roofing probably consisted of monk and nun tiles . The roof of the apse was probably rebuilt around 1600. In 1737 the broad tower was given a half-timbered tower , which, after changes in the meantime, was brought back to the documented original condition of 1737 in 1992. A weather vane from 1737 with the inscription "AFvR" from the patron saint Adolph Friedrich von Rochow crowns the building on the 24 meter high tower pommel .

In the first half of the 19th century the tower roof and walls were repaired several times. In 1877 the interior of the church was redesigned and a three-sided gallery was built on cast iron supports. The interior is characterized by a white chalk coating. Medieval paintings have been uncovered and restored in the apse. According to Engeser / Stehr, the Wildenbrucher can best be compared with the field stone church of Linthe .

The original organ from 1884 was replaced by a new instrument in 1927 by Alexander Schuke , while retaining the high-quality carved baroque prospectus , which in turn was supplemented by two stops in 1998 by Matthias Schuke . The instrument from the Schuke workshop in Potsdam is equipped with a manual , nine registers and a pedal . As an open church , the field stone building, in which concerts and changing exhibitions take place regularly, is accessible on weekends.

The church is the only place of worship in Wildenbruch and belongs to the "Evangelical Church Community Wildenbruch". The community is part of the church district Beelitz -Treuenbrietzen in Sprengel Potsdam (until 31 December 2009 Sprengel Neuruppin ) of the Lutheran Church Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Oberlausitz (EKBO). A Catholic congregation and a New Apostolic Church exist in the neighboring town of Michendorf. The Wildenbruch parish remained assigned to the Brandenburg Cathedral Chapter , even beyond the Reformation introduced by Joachim II in the Mark Brandenburg in 1539 . As in many other places in the Mark, Catholic customs were maintained in Wildenbruch for a long time after the Reformation. For example, an inventory from 1600 explicitly lists a silk casel. The choir skirt was still in use in 1715 and the liturgy was sung here until the 19th century.

Other listed buildings and rural building culture

Listed Gasthof Zur Linde

The farmhouse, gatehouse and stable opposite the church, the old jug, are also listed in Wildenbruch . The Gasthof Zur Linde has been located in the main building for generations . After the fall of the Wall, the inn and the outbuildings were restored and refurbished and reopened in 1991. At the beginning of the 21st century the facade of the farmhouse was reconstructed and the roof structure with two dormers was renewed according to the historical building plans. Today the country inn has holiday rooms , a restaurant, a wine bar, a threshing floor , a courtyard and grill garden and a winter garden .

There is also a former homestead at Dorfstrasse 9 , consisting of a residential building, left stable building and barn, which is a listed building. The database for rural building culture lists a number of other Wildenbruch buildings. These non-listed buildings include:

  • The old central German school building , a one-storey, 3-zone brick building with a transverse opening and a gable roof covered with beaver tail (today's community center).
  • The former rectory , a plastered brick house in the eaves of Central Germany. The 1½-storey and 3-zone building is also open across and covered with a half-hip roof made of beaver tails.
  • The gable and longitudinally open syringe house . The one-story brick house has a gable roof with clay tiles.
  • One closed and two open, central German three-sided courtyards , including a Märkisches Dielenhaus (courtyard 3).

All of the buildings listed in this chapter are located in the historic village center of Wildenbruch.

Local advisory board, election 2003, public institutions and associations

Fishing club Wildenbruch at the Großer Seddiner See

A local advisory board represents Wildenbruch's interests . The mayor is Manfred Bellin of the Wildenbruch Free Citizens' List , and the deputy mayor Roswitha Huth ( Die Linke ). The advisory board also includes one representative each from the CDU and from Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen (as of 2012) When the Potsdam-Mittelmark district council was elected on October 26, 2003, the votes for the Wildenbruch local advisory council were distributed as follows: SPD 148 (0 seats) , CDU 394 (1 seat), PDS 236 (1 seat), Greens / B90 187 (0 seats), FDP 136 (0 seats), Freie Bürgerliste Wildenbruch 1108 (3 seats).

The Wildenbruch elementary school teaches 205 students in eleven classes (as of 2012), two thirds of whom come from the northern neighboring town of Langerwisch and from Michendorf, Fresdorf, Stücken and Wildenbruch itself. Since the school year 2007/2008, the half-day school offers an integrated child day care in collaboration with Hort and other cooperation partners. The 964 m² school property with a 720 m² playground, a large multi-purpose sports hall and an all-weather area is located on the western edge of the Fresdorfer Heide. The hall and the sports field are also used for recreational sports by the Wildenbruchern, the general sports club of the neighboring town of Michendorf (ASV) offers several sports here. The day care center "Die Wildenbrucher Waldzwerge" is directly adjacent to the school premises .

The Wildenbruch youth club , which is based at the fire brigade , is open once a week . The Wildenbruch volunteer fire brigade has a three-door fire station and in 2004 was equipped with a LO and a W50 , both from GDR years, as well as an inflatable boat for use on the Great Seddiner See. Furthermore, a homeland club and the Fastnachtsclub Wildenbruch e. V. resident. Founded in 1925 probably carnival club maintains as the neighboring village of pieces originally Sorbian traditions of Zemperns with the final "bear battles." Around the banks of the Wildenbruch lake bay, the fishing club Wildenbruch e. V. , which has existed since 1948, a club house and tool shed.

Since agriculture lost its importance for Wildenbruch after the fall of the Wall , tourism , especially day tourism, has developed into an important branch of the economy. Factors for development are

  • the renovation and upgrading of the medieval village center,
  • the Golf and Country Club Seddiner See,
  • the extensive landscape of the Nuthe-Nieplitz nature park with the Great Seddiner See.

Historic village center

Structural and socio-structural upgrading

The medieval village center of Wildenbruch is protected as a ground monument. The center of village life is the community center with the historic village church and two restaurants. Most of the farmhouses and courtyards with their stucco-decorated facades were restored after the fall of the Wall and the former farm buildings, barns and stables were converted into residential and holiday apartments . The brick facades typical of Brandenburg with their rich ornamentation - decorated cornices , niches, window and decorative arches - were often restored to the original by hand.

In addition to the predominantly upscale residential and holiday offers, various alternative medical health, exercise and nutritional offers have established themselves. In one of the courtyards on Dorfstrasse, an Ayurveda specialist institute offers acupuncture and Ayurveda cures. Another four-sided courtyard runs courses on healthy exercise (e.g. yoga ) and holistic physiotherapy with systemic family and health counseling in several practices .

The village center as a film set

For two television films , Wildenbruch was transformed into the fictional Krummenwalde, an idyllic Brandenburg village with a lake, bathing meadow, stone church and three-sided farms. In 2002, director Matthias Tiefenbacher shot the ARD comedy "Liebling, bring the chickens to bed" here, and in 2009 Matthias Steurer shot the sequel "Darling, wake up the chickens". The first part of the "delicately staged reconstruction east miracle" describes the integration problems a family had after their flight from Berlin to the countryside. The second part deals with the consequences of the economic crisis, which does not stop at the tranquil Krummenwalde, for the large city family who have traveled and the long-established villagers. The leading roles were in 2009 Axel Milberg , Katja Flint , Kai Wiesinger , Thomas Thieme , Astrid Meyerfeldt , Andreas Schmidt and Simone von Zglinicki and in 2002 alongside Axel Milberg among others Barbara Rudnik .

Seddiner See Golf and Country Club

The Seddiner See golf and country club was established between 1995 and 1997 on the fallow land of the LPG. It lies - separated from the water by the circular lake path and the shore zone - above the north bank of the Großer Seddiner See. Its south side forms the northern border of the Nuthe Nieplitz Nature Park. It has been owned by shareholders and club members since 2000. It has two 18-hole championship courses, a driving range with a practice area, a clubhouse and a depot on a 185-hectare site (including the 250-hectare residential park in Lehnmarke) .

The flat, undulating to hilly Zaucheplateau with its partly sandy soils offered ideal conditions for the facility, which was supplemented by a few ponds and lakes. The north course was designed by the architect Rainer Preißmann with the aim of "realizing the idea of ​​a landscape golf course paired with the possibilities of strategic design." The south course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., a son of the renowned American golf architect Robert Trent Jones . Jones pursued the philosophy of “following the natural movements of the land and not creating a sequence of holes against the course of the terrain. In other words, we are constantly striving to create a golf course that blends in with the natural contours of the terrain by 'listening to the land' ”. In 2009, the club came seventh in a ranking of the most beautiful German golf courses. The DGV national trainer Rainer Mund described it in 2005 as "the best golf course in Germany".

For its sport-ecological quality and environmental management according to ISO 14001 , which it carried out not least to compensate for its enormous water requirements (60,000 to 100,000 m³ per year), the club, which had financed a Pelicon system for phosphate precipitation as part of the Seddiner Seen renovation pilot project , received In 2009 the Gold Golf and Nature Certificate from the German Golf Association .

Landscape and nature conservation

Path network and lake

Around the center of the village there is extensive nature with rolling hills and changing fields, forests and meadows. The small-scale biotopes of the Nuthe-Nieplitz Nature Park ensure a great diversity of species . Around 250 meters south of the field stone church there is a gently sloping beach on the Wildenbruch Bay of the Great Seddiner See . The 218 hectare Vistula Glacial Rinnenbeckensee is a eutrophic shallow lake with an average depth of 3 and a maximum of 7.2 meters and is considered a suitable entry water for surfers due to its shallow depth . The water also offers opportunities for rowing and sailing . An extensive network of hiking, cycling and riding trails runs through the landscape.

A hiking book from 1911 described the route from Michendorf to Wildenbruch as follows:

"On the right hand [...] the Michendorfer Berg (79 m high) rises, then the road steps out into the open field and descends more and more towards the small village of Wildenbruch. It's so lonely and remote that it is almost never touched by the stream of tourists. Its ancient church and the wildly overgrown cemetery are wonderfully beautiful. The old mud huts and the bumpy village street seem like a piece of Brandenburg poetry from a bygone era. A footpath leads directly from the church down to the extreme tip of Lake Seddiner. The ground sways underfoot, it's boggy and soft. The slightly agitated lake shimmers up from green meadows along the banks and gently sloping tilled areas. "

- Hiking book from 1911

In its northern section, the 10.3-kilometer-long Seerundweg is part of the 66 Lakes Regional Park Route , a hiking trail around Berlin that continues westward in the former glacial runoff of the chain of lakes over the Seddiner Fenn and the Teufelssee to the Lienewitz Lakes. In the West Wildenbruchplatz borders the extensive mixed forests of Kunersdorfer Forst and in the east, which extends district in the pine -dominated forests of Fresdorfer Heath. East of the village center, too, two smaller bodies of water and dry reed ovals indicate the former drainage channel, along which a hiking trail leads through the Lange Grund of the Fresdorfer Heide to the eastern exit of the channel from the Saarmunder terminal moraine arch. A water-covered alder quarry between the Ziebchenberg (81 m) and Ofenberg (91 m) forms the last relic of the drainage system before it emerges into the Nuthe - Nieplitz- Niederung, the former Trebbin-Potsdam drainage system.

Flora and fauna, spawning sanctuary and breeding bird sanctuary

→ Section flora and fauna in the main article Großer Seddiner See

Wildenbruch and its surroundings form a diverse structured habitat for endangered plants and animals. On the former arable land of the golf club alone, floristic and faunistic studies by the Institute for Applied Aquatic Ecology in 2008 found 75 endangered species on the Red List of Germany and the State of Brandenburg among 323 animal and plant species . Targeted sport-ecological measures, which the golf club implemented in coordination with the responsible authorities and institutions, has tripled the biodiversity on the open area since 1991.

92.5% of the shoreline of the Großer Seddiner See is made up of reed beds . The reed was dominant with 85% - on two thirds of the area as a pure stand - which , however, has been pushed back by narrow-leaved and broad-leaved cattails since 1995 . A 10.7 hectare continuous reed area below the golf course on the north shore is of particular functional importance for the ecology of the lake. The closed reed biotope was already protected as a natural monument in the GDR era and is still considered a spawning sanctuary and breeding bird sanctuary that is worth preserving .
