history

The first written mention of the place took place in 1309. At that time the area belonged to Mecklenburg . The name of the village of Blumenow is derived from "Blumenaue" (Middle Low German [ouwe] for Aue). From 1352 to 1471 the place belonged to the Mecklenburg branch line Stargard . In 1424 , the Stargardian Duke Heinrich complained about robberies in his village of Blumenow by Priegnitzer and Ruppiner miners . In 1427 Henning von Zarnekow (Zernickow, Zerneckow) acquired half the village. The dukes of Mecklenburg, Magnus II and Balthasar, confirmed their feudal rights in 1484 . From 1500 to 1571 there was also the von Behr in the village in addition to the von Zarnekow. In 1568 there were two manors and 17 farms in the village. In 1584 Blumenow belonged to the Diocese of Brandenburg . In 1600 the landlords of Zarnekow and Priegnitz (noble family) and Oertzen (noble family) shared control of the village. In 1667, Duke Gustav Adolf (Mecklenburg) took over the pledged goods from those of Zarnekow and left them to the heirs of Matthäus Thun in return for a pledge. Victor Sigismund von Oertzen auf Klockow was enfeoffed with Blumenow in 1694 by the Thun heirs after it was redeemed and Blumenow remained in the family's possession until 1901. Blumenow has belonged to the Strelitz part of Mecklenburg since 1701 . After the last remaining farm positions moved in in 1796, Blumenow is a typical Mecklenburg manor village. In 1812 the Blumenower Vorwerk was separated from the main estate and in 1813 it was run as an independent manor in Mecklenburg-Strelitz. The estate and the village got the name of the new owner Boltenhof. In the years from 1887 to 1890 a road to Dannenwalde was built.

In 1901 there were 85 inhabitants in Boltenhof. Rittmeister Alexander von Oertzen was forced to sell the estate to the reindeer Carl von Freeden in 1905. He gave the community a new church organ. The Lehngut Boltenhof was converted into an allodium a year later , the land now belonged to Kommerzienrat Bolle from Berlin.

The Cologne merchant Albert Bernhard Hansen acquired the manorial estate with mansion, park and garden from the bankrupt estate of Heinz Lahusen (who only acquired the estate in 1926) for 450,000 Reichsmarks. With 60 employees, Hansen cultivated almost 1000 hectares of agricultural land and water. In 1945 the landowner fled from the approaching Soviet troops from Blumenow. Due to negligence, the baroque Blumenower manor house burned to the ground in 1946.

On July 1, 1950, the community of Blumenow was reclassified together with the other places in Fürstenberger Werder from the Mecklenburg district of Neustrelitz to the Brandenburg district of Templin .

Blumenow was incorporated into Fürstenberg / Havel on October 26, 2003.

Culture and sights

Former estate

The early Gothic field stone church Blumenow from the second half of the 13th century in Blumenow is located opposite the old estate. According to plans by the architects Paulus and Silloe from Berlin, the church underwent a structural overhaul in the summer of 1912.

The square half-timbered tower built into the church house (it was renewed according to the architecture of its predecessor from the 18th century), in which the church portal is also located, is worth seeing. The tower has a Welsche dome on which an eight-sided lantern with a steep pyramid was placed.

The nave with its cross vault is also worth seeing .

The interior is a multi-storey carved altar in the Renaissance style from the 18th century with the replicas of the four evangelists on the predella (altar structure) and the depiction of the crucifixion and a. more.

The local parlor is located in the church's bell tower. There are items from rural households to be seen here.

The resting place of the von Oertzen landowners is the oldest burial place in the church cemetery.

The Blumenower stork's nest, which has developed into a popular natural landmark, is also worth seeing. It was created in the 1950s and is located on the forge of the estate's former potato and grain distillery. It now weighs over ten quintals, has an approximate diameter of two meters and a height of about 1.60 m.

To the south of Blumenow stands an oak tree with a chest height of 8.80 m.
