Zauchwitz & Körzin: An insider tip at the Nuthe-Nieplitz Nature Park!

On the edge of the picturesque Nuthe-Nieplitz Nature Park lies the small town of Zauchwitz, which boasts not only its history but also a charming community and beautiful nature. Zauchwitz has just 297 residents, 63 of whom live in neighboring Körzin. How maz online reports, Körzin recently celebrated its 650th anniversary, while Zauchwitz can already look back on an impressive 708 years. Timm Randewig, who has served as mayor since 2019, has made it his mission to promote cooperation and actively advance residents' concerns in collaboration with the city administration.

With a small, newly renovated village community center and an active local fire department, Zauchwitz offers space for social gatherings. A new residential project is being developed, which, in addition to the five newly built houses, will further strengthen the village structure. A lot of fresh air and new ideas are expected from the approximately 20% of the young population who commute to school or kindergarten in Beelitz.

A place of possibilities

The Syringhof is a central meeting point that is known not only as a restaurant but also for selling food. In addition, two agricultural businesses and a small industrial area with four companies ensure a stable economic basis in the region.

Sights such as the old Zauchwitz Swedish Church from the 13th century, the boules pitch in Körzin and the idyllic walks along the Nieplitz captivate both locals and visitors. The nature around the Nuthe and Nieplitz rivers impresses with its diversity - from flooded grassland to shallow lakes that provide habitat for wading birds and water birds, as can be seen on the website Nuthe-Nieplitz Nature Park can read.

A paradise for nature lovers

The nature park itself, which opened in 1999, extends over an impressive 623 km² and is characterized by scenic beauty. Numerous hiking and cycling trails have been laid out here, which not only lead to the hidden corners of the park, but also present regional specialties. When the cranes and storks return in spring, every nature lover knows: it is the best time to visit.
One of the special features of this region is the Jüterbog wilderness area, where ecological awareness and nature conservation are very important.

With careful planning and a strong awareness of the environment, local initiatives have achieved a lot for nature and wildlife. The nature park offers habitats for numerous species, including rare bird species such as the little owl. There is a close connection between village life in Zauchwitz and the efforts to protect the unique flora and fauna that characterize the region. Wikipedia highlights that 21% of the park area is protected.

The responsibility that Zauchwitzer and Körziner must assume is clear: promote cohesion, protect nature and at the same time preserve traditions. One wish remains: new residents should approach the locals openly and with interest in order to shape life together in this unique community. The path has been paved - it is up to the people whether they walk it together.
