Tips from the Community
Elisenhof was first documented in 1837 as an outlying farm belonging to the Bollensdorf manor. The first farm buildings were constructed by the end of the 19th century. The decisive phase began in 1923: the outlying farm was dissolved and divided into six farms. Despite economic hardship, the new settlers helped build important facilities in Bollensdorf, including a school and a children's home. Many families showed great solidarity and, for example, took in Russian godchildren during the Second World War. By 1927, Elisenhof already had 35 inhabitants, and the children attended school in Bollensdorf. In 1929, Elisenhof became a district of Neuenhagen. After 1946, as part of the land reform, land was redistributed and farmsteads were divided. In 1960, the farmers joined together to form the "Elisenhof" Agricultural Production Cooperative (LPG), which was dissolved in 1968; agriculture was then taken over by regional cooperatives and farms. After 1989/90, former owners received their land back, which is mostly leased out. Since the 1990s, former agricultural cooperative buildings have been converted into residential properties.

Many parts of the city walls are still well preserved, and if you take a circular walk you can get an idea of how small the core of this city once was.

This bizarrely grown pine tree stands northwest of the cycle track, directly on the path along the edge of the forest. Decades ago, its branches served as a popular climbing object for Fredersdorf children. Today the beautiful tree is a natural monument, marked with the conservation owl on a yellow background.

Otto Freiherr von Schwerin (1616–1679) was First Minister of the Electorate of Brandenburg and in 1654 bought the town of Altlandsberg, including the castle, which had been badly devastated in the Thirty Years' War. He had the castle demolished and replaced with a new castle surrounded by parks. He often stayed there with his electoral pupils. In 1658 he bought the nearby estate village of Neuenhagen, and in 1660 he acquired the badly damaged village of Eggersdorf. Otto Freiherr von Schwerin died in 1679 and was buried in the vault of the Altlandsberg town church.

The Neo-Renaissance building was originally built in 1913 as a district court with a prison wing. After the Second World War, the district court of Altlandsberg was assigned to the district court of Potsdam. In 1952, the local courts were abolished in the GDR and district courts were formed in their place. The competent court was now the district court of Strausberg. The district court of Altlandsberg was abolished and not re-established even after reunification. The building, which has been declared a monument, has housed Altlandsberg's official and city administration since 1956.

The "Altlandsberg War Memorial" (that's the official name) was erected to commemorate the fallen of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71. In GDR times, the memorial and church square fell into disrepair and the Prussian eagle disappeared. The war memorial erected in 1878 was restored in 2007/2008 as part of the urban redevelopment and redesign of the churchyard at the town church. The original of the base (block with the inscription and the names of the fallen) is said to be found a bit further on a bush. I can't confirm that, I guess I just overlooked it 😐.
