Reichenberg: Anger Village, Fieldstone and Far-Reaching Views

Reichenberg brings together a historic Anger village and far-reaching views across the fields of the Oberbarnim. Fieldstone buildings still shape the village today; from the Galgenberg near Reichenberg, the view stretches far across the landscape. The built village scene and the open fields thus offer two distinct impressions. There are also different themes to explore during a stay: village and estate history, fruit and blossom wines, and bat conservation and nature watching. If you do not want to limit your trip to just one focus, you can get to know Reichenberg through these different aspects.

Village history and protected buildings

As an Anger village, Reichenberg was first mentioned in a document in 1335 under the name “Richenberg,” in connection with Chorin Cistercian Monastery. In the village center, the manor house, park and farmyard are protected as historic monuments; the estate complex is listed in the Brandenburg State Monument Register under number 09180632. The village church is also listed there, at Reichenberger Hauptstraße 21, under number 09180631. The register date for both entries is January 1, 2026. Alongside the early documented connection to Chorin, these are two specific points of reference in the protected village scene: the estate complex and the village church.

Between the village and the landscape

The Galgenberg near Reichenberg offers far-reaching views across the fields of the Oberbarnim. Unlike the protected buildings in the village center, the landscape takes center stage here. This marks a clear shift between architectural history and open fields: when planning your trip, you can decide whether you are more interested in the history of the Anger village, the far-reaching views, or both.

Cycling route, wine and bats

There is also a specific connection to the village by bike: the “Cycling on the Edge of Märkische Schweiz” tour continues on to Reichenberg. One route to the village leads from Berlin via Strausberg and Bollersdorf to Reichenberg and Altfriedland. The two route references serve different purposes: one describes a cycling tour, while the other gives a direction for getting there. Check current route conditions before setting out.

At the Vierhub tree nursery, you can sample fruit and blossom wines; you can also visit the open areas and cultivated plots. Nearby, the Bat Museum in Julianenhof offers environmental education and exhibitions on bat conservation. These include guided tours, watching bats in their natural surroundings and visiting a former ice cellar that serves as a winter roost for bats. The activities have different focuses: Vierhub combines wine tasting with a look at its cultivated plots, while Julianenhof focuses on bat conservation and environmental education.
