History

Teupitz probably arose from a medieval

Dietrich IV of Wettin
.

Teupitz Castle, lithograph,
coll. Alexander Duncker (1813-1897)

The castle, located on a peninsula, from about 1330 served as a seat of the Schenk von

Saxe-Wittenberg, served as the Saxon representative at the (second) election of King Sigismund. The dynasty flourished for about four centuries until its extinction in 1721, leaving the local water castle as well as further residences in Königs Wusterhausen and Groß Leuthen. They also had the Brick Gothic
Holy Ghost parish church erected and in 1437 on their own authority elevated Teupitz to the status of a town.

From 1717 the remnants of the castle were acquired by the

travelogue in 1880, Teupitz due to its picturesque setting became a popular destination for daytrippers from the Berlin agglomeration. In 1910 the Prussian Province of Brandenburg opened a sanatorium and in 1930 the former castle was again rebuilt as a hotel, which after World War II was used as a recreation centre by the East German Communist Party
(SED).
