ZiethenZiethen is a village in the Barnim district of Brandenburg, Germany, with a history notably shaped by the arrival of French Huguenot settlers in 1686. Fleeing religious persecution following the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, they found refuge in Brandenburg-Prussia under the Edict of Potsdam, issued by Elector Frederick William.
The Huguenots introduced advanced agricultural practices, including crop rotation and irrigation, which significantly enhanced local productivity. They also established tobacco cultivation, which became a key regional industry. Their influence extended beyond farming, as they founded French-language schools and Protestant churches, preserving their cultural identity while gradually integrating into German society.
Over time, many Huguenot families assimilated, adopting German surnames while retaining French given names. Their legacy endures in local architecture, cultural traditions, and archival records. Today, Ziethen actively commemorates this heritage through historical research and cultural preservation initiatives.92 93		Local heritage book of Ziethen (Barnim)
