history

Ancient thyme on a measuring table from the Prussian first recording from 1825

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1299 when Margrave Albrecht III. von Brandenburg donated the monastery Lehnin to the foundation of a Cistercian daughter monastery ( Kloster Himmelpfort ), among other things, Groß Thymen (Magna Thymen) and the mill, today's Altthymen. The village briefly belonged to Mecklenburg from 1314 to 1440 . Altthymen has probably been settled since the late Bronze Age. This is at least suggested by the discovery of a bronze sword, the "Sword of Altthymen", in 1850.

Altthymen has been part of the town of Fürstenberg / Havel since it was incorporated on October 26, 2003 .
