Fonds Brandenburgisches Landeshauptarchiv (BLHA), 37 Friedersdorf-Groß Kreutz - Rep. 37 estates Friedersdorf, Kr. Lebus, and Groß Kreutz, Kr. Zauch-Belzig

The history of possession <br /><br />The Friedersdorf situated south of Seelow is mentioned for the first time in a document of the bishop Johann von Lebus from the year 1401. Owners were at least since 1441 those of Schapelow. After the extinction of the family in 1529, Melchior from Pfuel to Quilitz is enfeoffed with village and mill. In 1608 two knight's seats of the family in Friedersdorf are provable. As a result of the 30-year war the Pfuels were heavily indebted and in 1652 left Friedersdorf for sale to Colonel Joachim Ernst von Goertzke. After his death in 1682, his daughter Maria Elisabeth, married to Johann Georg von der Marwitz, inherited the estate. It was first pledged, from 1697 in the ownership of the von der Marwitz. At the end of the 18th century, the Ludwigslust manor was built on the Feldmark of the estate. The Neumark family remained in Friedersdorf until their expropriation under the land reform of 1945. The best-known representative was Major General Friedrich August Ludwig v.d. Marwitz (1777-1848), who, as an advocate of the right of estates, became a decisive opponent of the Stein-Hardenberg reforms. In 1929, the estate comprised 619 hectares and generated a property tax income of approx. 21,800 RM.<br /><br />The village of Groß Kreutz, situated in the Zauche between Potsdam and Brandenburg (Havel), had belonged to the v. Rochow family on Golzow since the late Middle Ages. After the death of Jacob v. Rochow in 1564, Groß Kreutz was divided into three parts. The main part went to Wittich v. Rochow, whose heirs sold Groß Kreutz with Feldmark Möllendorf to v. Streithorst in 1593. In 1604 it passed to the Kurmark's pea-givers, von Hake. 1608 is a knight's seat in Groß Kreutz verifiable. Through the family v. Hake the other two shares were reunited with the main estate in 1659 and 1735. In 1801 Groß Kreutz was inherited by the von Arnstedt family. Around this time the estate included Forst Uhlenheide with the Uhlenhaus near Brück, which Wilhelm I later renamed Hackenheide and Hackenhausen, Vorwerk Mittelbusch, Schäferei Möllendorf and Vorwerk Neuhaus (Jungfernheide). By marriage of the last Arnstedt on Groß Kreutz with a daughter of Friedrich August Ludwig von der Marwitz, who died childless in 1884, Groß Kreutz came into the possession of von der Marwitz on Friedersdorf. The estates were administered from Friedersdorf, but managed independently. In 1929 the manors Gr. Kreutz and Hackenhausen together with the forest comprised 764 and 1692 hectares, respectively, and achieved a property tax yield of 10,600 and 5,630 RM.<br /><br />Estate history<br /><br />>The last owner of Friedersdorf, Bodo v.d. Marwitz, moved the archive and library to his estate Groß Kreutz before the approaching Red Army in 1945. When he left in October 1945, the archives still existed in their entirety. 1946/ 1947 the documents were transported to Belzig, where they were placed on the floor of a school without any special protective measures. Valuable parts have been alienated there, among them: the house book of v. Pfuel from the 16th century, parts of the memoirs of Friedrich Ludwig August v. d. M. (1777-1837) and a part of the estate of Bernhard v. d. M. (1890-1918) with Rilke autographs. In 1948, the German Central Archive in Potsdam was able to secure the remainder of the collection, which was transferred to the newly founded BLHA in 1949. In 1957 the current manor and private registry from Groß Kreutz was taken over and in 1959/1961 the entire inventory was newly recorded. In 1994 the heirs of Bodo v. d. Marwitz (1893-1982) left his estate to the BLHA. The documents were opened one year later. The photographs listed under numbers 860-910 were donated by Bodo von der Marwitz to the GStA PK in 1969. These copies were handed over to the BLHA in November 2014 as part of an inventory review. With the exception of a few files, the collection is a deposit of the von der Marwitz family. Some of the more recent files are subject to usage restrictions.<br /><br />Literatur<br /><br />Mathis Leibetseder and Werner Heegewaldt, Gestaltete Landschaft.
