history

Archaeological finds in the Dammes area indicate a Slavic settlement before the eastern colonization , the latter presumably the establishment of the place. The place Damme was first mentioned in a document on March 15, 1354 in the Treaty of Oderberg , in which the cession of part of the Uckermark to the Duchy of Pomerania by the Mark Brandenburg was determined. The place name means "place where oaks grow". Due to the changes in the area, Damme is not listed in the Land Book of the Mark Brandenburg . Historically, Damme was laid out as a street village and there was a manor that was administered by the noble family of the same name based in the neighboring town of Eickstedt .

In 1902 Damme was connected to the route network of the Prenzlau – Löcknitz line and the branching line of the Schönermark – Damme district railway . In 1929 the manor Damme was dissolved and split up the following year. This resulted in the creation of new farms with arable land, the current Weidendamm development. As a result, the village now extends over a length of about four kilometers and today has more of the character of a scattered settlement . From 1952 the municipality of Damme was in the Prenzlau district in the GDR district of Neubrandenburg . After the reunification , Damme belonged to the Prenzlau district , where the place joined the Gramzow office in 1992 to handle its administrative business . Since the Brandenburg district reform in 1993, Damme has belonged to the Uckermark district .

On December 31, 1997, Damme was incorporated into Grünow.
