Eichstädt

Eichstädt was first mentioned in 1350, when the village was given as a fief to Ulrich von Lindow.

In the first half of the 19th century the hereditary servitude of the peasants was abolished and the manors came into bourgeois ownership.

During the time of the GDR, a machinery lending station was established for the farmers and a new housing estate was developed.

After 1990, a commercial area was added and the infrastructure was extensively renewed.

The old sheep barn was converted into a trotting stud farm, currently Germany's most successful.
