Discover Jatznick

Landscape and Forestry History

Its location at the foot of the Brohmer Hills helps place Jatznick geographically. The forest seed drying facility offers a different focus: here, the emphasis is on specific components of a production facility. Anyone interested in forestry and technical equipment will find more than just a single historical object there. Period drying boxes have been preserved in the storage building; the equipment also includes a drying oven, rack and drum dryers, a dedusting system and a cam-type wing remover. Trolleys and their associated rail system complete the preserved equipment.

The facilities are still used for production. This sets the site apart from a mere collection of equipment that is no longer in use: the preserved components belong to a facility that is still used for its production purpose. The forest seed drying facility has been in Jatznick since 1923. This date refers to its time in the town, not to the year the facility was built. If you are planning your stay around a specific destination related to cultural and technical history, the seed-drying facility offers a clearly defined focus.

Visiting the Forest Seed Drying Facility

Visitors can explore the building without a guided tour. The access facilities described are also relevant when getting your bearings on site: visitor access includes a lift. A ramp provides barrier-free access to the floor of the cone storage building. These details refer to visitor access or, specifically, to the floor of the cone storage building. This makes it possible to distinguish in advance which areas are described as having which access arrangements.

You can focus on the individual parts of the equipment: from the drying boxes in the storage building to the various dryers and drying oven, and on to the dedusting system and cam-type wing remover. The trolleys and rail system are also part of the preserved equipment. Because the facilities are still used for production, their preservation goes hand in hand with present-day use. Visitors who would rather focus on a landmark or a place of remembrance can explore other points of interest in Jatznick and Klein Luckow.

Landmark and Place of Remembrance

The Stork Tower in Jatznick is a former cement kiln and also a landmark of the municipality. Its present-day significance as a landmark and its former function as a kiln belong to different periods. It can therefore be understood as a local point of reference with a specific industrial past. The forest festival grounds are also among the municipality of Jatznick’s notable recreational facilities and attractions.

Klein Luckow offers another focus for a visit: the Max Schmeling Memorial is located in the boxer’s birthplace. Max Schmeling was born there on 28 September 1905. Visitors must register by phone in advance to visit the memorial. Many long-distance cycle routes pass by it. If you are cycling and interested in sports history, you can bear this information in mind when exploring Klein Luckow; it refers to the memorial, not to a route through Jatznick.
