The poet Victor Blüthgen (04.01.1844 - 02.04.1920) was born the son of the post office forwarder on Langen Strasse. After attending the Francke Foundation and studying theology in Halle, Blüthgen turned to writing after a short time as a private tutor, working as an editor until 1880, including for the magazine "Die Gartenlaube", then freelance in Berlin and Freienwalde. He earned particular merit with children's and young adult literature. He always felt connected to his hometown of Zörbig, of which Victor Blüthgen was made an honorary citizen in 1904. In 1914, Bad Freienwalde awarded him honorary citizenship and both cities named a street after him.

Large parts of his literary estate are in the possession of the Heimat-Verein Zörbig e.V.. The poet is recognized in the encyclopedias of several countries, in the Oderlandmuseum Bad Freienwalde and in the Heimatmuseum Zörbig. In 1995, the Heimat-Verein Zörbig e.V., supported by funding from the state of Saxony-Anhalt, the district and the municipality, published stories and poems with the title "Oh, who could do that!" in a small volume. The memorial is located on Birkenallee, near the sports hall.

State Stud Prussendorf

Highlight • Historical Site

Prussendorf was mentioned for the first time in 1209. The manor, which held the upper and lower courts, was first mentioned in the 16th century. It was a manor until 1945, then a teaching and experimental property. In 1969 it was divided between fruit growing (Uni Halle), field farming (LPG) and the stud farm. The Saxony-Anhalt State Stud was established on January 1, 1993 in what was then the Radegast Main Stud. In 1997 the headquarters of the state stud were moved to the Prussendorf part of the business. The aim at that time was to maintain the traditional Radegast Stud as a state stud farm and to give Saxony-Anhalt horse breeding its own state stud farm. The state riding and driving school of Saxony-Anhalt is affiliated with the state stud. They have also had the status of a technical school since 1997.

Also connected to the state stud is an agricultural business with around 850 hectares of agricultural land, which, on the one hand, produces the fodder for the horse population and, on the other hand, helps the state stud to largely cover its costs. The business is run as a cash crop business. The main crops are winter wheat, winter barley, sugar beets and winter rapeseed.

Evangelical Church Spören with Cemetery, Mausoleum, and Memorial Plaques

Highlight • Religious Site

Evangelical Church of Spören

In the middle of the village, and yet surrounded by greenery, stands the time-honored village church of Spören, which dates back to the Romanesque period, with its two districts of Spören and Prussendorf.
The Protestant parish belongs to the parish of Zörbig.

It was built on a natural hill around 1170. So it is visible from afar and invites you to attend church services.
Since the old church is characterized by excellent acoustics, concert performances always promise a special experience.

The church has an organ Opus 262, built in 1904 by the Wilhelm Rühlmann company.
