The Ketzin quarry landscape was created by mining clay for the brickworks. In 1860, the teacher and organist Adolf Kaselitz founded the first brickworks after discovering the numerous clay deposits in the Ketzin area. Until around 1900 there were 14 brickworks with 21 ring kilns and 13 clay pits in and around Ketzin. Most of the clay pits here were in the bridgehead area. After the clay deposits were exhausted, some clay holes were filled in in 1925 (this is where the Brückenkopf settlement was created) and others formed this attractive pond landscape, which is now a protected landscape area.
