History

The legend of the origin of the hill called Rietzer Berg

In Rietz near Brandenburg once lived a family of giants. One day the daughter's pigs had run away and all her calls were in vain.

She couldn't round them up. Then she finally tore a huge oak trunk out of the earth, rushed up with it, rounded up her pigs happily, and set off for home. On her way she was surprised to see a man, he was plowing. She immediately picked him up and put him, ox and plow, in her apron. With that she ran home to her mother and said: „Look mother what earth worms I found there!“ But the mother said: “Go back quickly, my child, and carry everything back to its place, for these are our enemies who will follow us!“

And immediately the girl packed everything up again, went back to the place where she had found the plowman and put everything back in its place. She then poured plenty of sand on it so that the enemies couldn't come to Rietz too quickly. This hill of sand is still there to this day and is now called Rietzer Berg.

History of the house

The house was built in the 1920s. A peach tree, which still bears fruit, also dates from this period. It is also documented to have been the location of a windmill on Rietzer Berg in 1858. The cellar of the mill is still there today.

During the Second World War, the residents of the surrounding villages buried household items such as silver cutlery, porcelain and coins on Rietzer Berg. Sometimes you still can find a few of these treasures.

The beautiful idyll was threatened to be distroyed by the construction of a chicken production farm within sight of the property. Local residents successfully prevented this in 2011.

The property on Rietzer Berg has been slowly awakening from its deep sleep since 2002. To date it has become a beauty, but garden and buildings are never finished. Always new ideas that reflect the lightness of being and a humorous contemplation want to be implemented in Boedeker's Infinity.
