Alte Försterei Briescht

The Alte Försterei Briescht is an architectural monument in the village of Briescht, a district of the municipality of Tauche in the Brandenburg district of Oder-Spree. The building ensemble was laid out around 1900 as a royal forester's lodge on the former Briescht manor and has served as a place for art, culture and recreation since its privatisation in 2009.
Briescht, a village on the Krumme Spree, belonged in the early modern period to the neighboring lordship of Kossenblatt. In 1736, the "Soldier King" Friedrich Wilhelm I acquired the estates and Kossenblatt Castle, so that the estates including Briescht were last, until 1872, under the royal rule of King Wusterhausen. After Kossenblatt Castle and land passed into private hands in 1872, the Briescht manor house burned down in 1896. In 1898, the Briescht manor was bought back for the royal house fidei commission. Around 1900, the Briescht Royal Forester's Office was built on the estate grounds, which are located in the middle of the village; the agricultural area of the estate was leased on a parcel-by-parcel basis from 1904 onwards. Also in 1904, the Sabrodt forester's office was moved to the Briescht forestry office. In addition, in 1928 the areas of the dissolved estate district of Trebatsch, which belonged to the Briescht forestry, were added to the rural municipality of Briescht. Now the Prussian State Forester's Office, the area belonged to the state forests of the GDR during the GDR period as a district forester's office and was finally the Brandenburg Forestry Office until 1990. In 2009, the area was privatized.
