Office of Grimnitz

The Grimnitz office was a royal Prussian domain office based in Neugrimnitz ( Barnim district , Brandenburg ). It was formed in 1749/56 by splitting off from the older Liebenwalde office and dissolved in 1839.

Amt Grimnitz (= Neugrimnitz), Althüttendorf, district of Barnim, Brandenburg, Germany, detail from the Urmes table sheet 3038 Joachimsthal from 1826. The Grimnitzsee is just cut into on the left edge.

Geographical location

The Grimnitz office was located around the Grimnitzsee in the present-day communities of Althüttendorf, Altkünkendorf, Friedrichswalde, Schorfheide and Joachimsthal in the Barnim district, Brandenburg. The official seat was initially in Althüttendorf, later in Neugrimnitz.

History and related places

The castle of Liebenwalde (Lkr.Oberhavel) originally included a judicial district or bailiwick, which was extraordinarily large in the Middle Ages and not only included a few villages in the vicinity of the castle, but also the large and small Werbellinische Heide, the extent of which, however, only approximated can be developed. The later official area made up only a small part of the original bailiwick. The bailiwick was often pledged. In 1642 the bailiwick was converted into a sovereign office.

In a document from the year 1749, the leaseholder of Vorwerk and Glashütte Grimnitz (in Althüttendorf!) Gustav Krause is referred to for the first time as "bailiff". At the end of the lease period in 1756, the Grumsin and Mellin farms were assigned to the new office, as well as the Grimnitzer Heide with some colonies that had already arisen in it (Alt Hüttendorf, Forst bei Joachimsthal, Friedrichswalde, Werbellin). Further colonies were later established in the official area. In 1839 the new Rentamt Neustadt-Eberswalde was formed from the offices of Grimnitz, Biesenthal and Chorin .

• Altenhof (1817: village ) (today a residential area of ​​the community of Schorfheide ). In 1595 the Heidereiter resided here. Some fishermen lived here in the 17th and 18th centuries. In 1740 a schoolmaster was appointed for Altenhof. At the end of the 18th century, some colonists were also settled here.
• Althüttendorf ( colony ). In 1663 a glassworks was built here. In 1749 the place was assigned to the Office of Grimnitz. In 1731 13 Büdner were assigned. A windmill was built in 1749/50. The windmill stood slightly to the north from Bahnhofstrasse (between No. 29a and 30)

In 1749 Mellin was assigned to the Grimnitz office. In 1766 a colony was established to the west of the Vorwerk.

• Melt (called Parlow since 1883). In 1601 Bohemian glassmakers were employed at the newly founded Grimnitzer Glashütte. Presumably at the same time, Aschenbrenner settled in what is now Parlow, then called Schmelze. In 1750, the Schmelze estate was created from several smaller individual estates. In 1880 the manor district of Schmelze-Mellin was renamed Parlow (not identical to today's Schmelze!).
