Small Eichholz

Klein-Eichholz is a district of Streganz, a district of the municipality of Heidesee in the Dahme-Spreewald district. Klein-Eichholz was first mentioned in a document in 1321 and was an independent municipality until its incorporation into Streganz in 1939.
The place was first mentioned as Eichholtcz in 1321. In 1492, the judge of Klein-Eichholz had fishing rights in a lake not specifically named, presumably in the Ziestsee located on the former territory of Klein-Eichholz. In 1565, the place was referred to as Hohen Eichholtz. In 1560, the judge and the farmers had the fishing rights in the surrounding lakes and on the Dahme. In 1576, only one cottage owner was mentioned. In 1600, the field mark of the village was divided into 5½ knight's hides and 6 farmers' hides. Presumably, alongside the farmers, there were also two cottagers and a shepherd living in the village. In 1692, the positions of the farmers and cottagers were unoccupied. The knight's and farmers' hides, as well as the cottager land, were utilized by the local authority. The sheep farm was leased to a shepherd tenant. Therefore, the few villagers were not allowed to keep sheep. The fishing rights had also been lost. In 1718, there were again 5 cottagers and 5 smallholders living in the village. By 1745, only one cottager remained, with 7 smallholders. In 1775, in addition to the one cottager, 8 smallholders living in Klein-Eichholz were mentioned. In 1810, the outlying estates of Kolberg and Klein-Eichholz were sold together in hereditary lease. Klein-Eichholz alone included 948 Morgen of 179 QR arable land, 1 Morgen of 49 QR garden, and 18 Morgen of 119 QR private pasture. The forest covered 1200 Morgen and was also used for meadow grazing. The hereditary lease estate also included fishing in the Langen and Ziest lakes, a brickworks, and a peat extraction site, also near Kolberg. The hereditary tenant, Councilor Kiekebusch, paid an annual rent of 1080 talers and a one-time inheritance payment of 6550 talers. By 1830, the estate of Klein-Eichholz was repurchased from the district administrator Kiekebusch through compulsory auction and was re-offered for hereditary lease. In 1833, it was in the possession of chemist A. F. Schöpfer. From 1854 to 1860, it belonged to Dr. Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig Fintelmann. From 1900 to 1906, the estate was owned by a Dr. Lothar Meyer.
