history

The area around today's Drense was settled by the Slavic tribe of the Ukranians starting in the 6th century . In the 8th century, these lay near the village, a castle , which was extended until the 12th century. This castle developed into the main castle of the Ukranians and was the seat of the tribal chief. The place Drense was first mentioned in a document in 1332 in a letter of protection from the Pomeranian dukes Otto and Barnim with the spelling drenze . The place name comes from Slavic and literally means "place where poles are". The place name probably refers to the fishing activity in the village.

Drense historically belonged to the Seehausen monastery and thus came to the newly formed monastery office Gramzow-Seehausen during the secularization in 1539 . From 1902 there was a train station in Drense on the Prenzlau – Löcknitz line . Until 1952, the municipality of Drense was part of the Prenzlau district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg , after which the place came to the Prenzlau district in the Neubrandenburg district . After the reunification , the municipality of Drense came to the state of Brandenburg. In 1991 the place was awarded the 1st Uckermärkisches Geschichtsdorf award. Since the Brandenburg district reform in 1993, Drense has been in the Uckermark district . On December 31, 1997, the place was incorporated into Grünow.
