At this time the place was already the Brandenburg territory and was assigned to the Ziesarschen circle. With the Prussian county government reform of 1815 Paplitz came to the newly formed county Jerichow II with the county town of Genthin. Since Paplitz was mainly based on agriculture, the farmers of the Prussian agrarian reform of 1807 could directly benefit. They bought in 1831 for 150 dollars six acres of arable, they could henceforth manage freely, and solved for another 150 dollars all from feudal obligations. At this time, the annual income of a large servant was about ten dollars. Middle of the 19th century, the road Genthin - Paplitz built, which was later extended by Ziesar.
