In the middle of the forest, far away from any street noise, there are a few old farms. Even a TV report and Wikipedia describe this wonderful piece of nature and its history.

The former station Döberitz was built in 1916, at that time as Gapel station. In the meantime shut down, the station building was used as a dwelling house and looks now orphaned from the outside

The station Döberitz was built in 1916 for the connection of the nearby sulfuric acid factory, from this time comes the reception building. First, he wore the name Gapel, later Döberitz-Gapel and then only Döberitz. In 1996, passenger trains were dropped at the station, and at the beginning of the 2000s he also lost his operational duties. The station building is used as a residential building. Today's also named Döberitz breakpoint near the town center was formerly Döberitz Nord. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Baudenkmale_in_Premnitz

At this point Börsigkens Laake borders on the Pritzerber Laake. You can very well see some squat buildings on the opposite southern shore. Quote from https://www.moz.de/artikel-ansicht/dg/0/1/1539897/ "In the former Vorwerk of Brösigkens Laake was a brickyard and offered in addition to agriculture and fishing an additional source of income. In 1915, Chemisches Fabrik Griesheim-Elektron acquired the brickworks in Brösigken's Laake and surrounding fields and established a plant for the production of explosives with a refilling station. In addition, Blue Cross poison gas was produced there, from 1917 sulfuric acid. " On the internet you can also read that the site used to be (chemistry) landfills - or are still there. Creepy.
