The Pfefferfließ is a right-hand tributary of the Nieplitz in Brandenburg, over eleven kilometers long; its headwaters are near Luckenwalde near Frankenförde.

The two lakes south of Frankenfelde were created in 2002 during the dredging as a compensatory and replacement measure for the construction of the new B 101.

Three kilometers north of the Jüterbog district of Kloster Zinna is the former military area Forst Zinna, which is bordered on the east by the course of the Nuthe and on the west by the new federal highway 101 and the Berlin-Halle railway line. The former military training area Jüterbog (historical Jüterbog shooting range) extends to the west and beyond the railway line. In 1934, as part of German rearmament, another military camp was set up on the edge of the training area. In addition to the existing camps "Old Camp" and "New Camp", the new military area was given the name "Camp III" in chronological order. A provision store and a train station were installed next to the troop camp. Source https://www.rottenplaces.de/main/panzerkaserne-forst-zinna-34431/

... The Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED) claimed from 1947 - according to a decision - some areas of the area for the founded German Administrative Academy (DVA) "Walter Ulbricht". This included cinema and theater halls, restaurant rooms, sports facilities in a pleasing architecture to ensure ideal academy conditions. The facility was intended to train the political elites for the gradual self-government of the Soviet occupation zone and the GDR, which was founded in 1949. Important artists were engaged for the academy and the expansion of the facility, including the Yugoslavian architect Selman Selmanagić (1905-1986), a representative of the Dessau Bauhaus, who designed the furniture for the administration academy in Forst Zinna in 1947. After the administration academy moved to Potsdam-Babelsberg, the Soviet army claimed the area again and built a new facility for a construction battalion. A self-sufficient military area was created, with several administration buildings, farm buildings, a cinema and a zoo. Although Forst Zinna still has numerous buildings on a huge area, most of the military installations and buildings were already removed as part of the conversion. In 2007, demolition work began on the site. In the future, there are plans to completely unseal the area and renaturalize it – potential commercial areas should be kept free. The former provision store from the Wehrmacht era – consisting of two storage buildings, a warehouse, a gatehouse and a residential building – is a listed building.
