history
Gartz was in the Duchy of Pomerania . First mentioned in 1124, Gartz was granted town charter by Duke Barnim I of Pomerania in 1249 . In 1325 Gartz became a member of the Hanseatic League .
Due to its strategically important location on the Oder, the city was repeatedly exposed to armed conflicts. So she was u. a. Destroyed in the Thirty Years' War in 1630, in the Swedish-Polish War in 1659 and in the Great Northern War in 1713 .
After the Pomeranian ducal house of the Griffins died out in the Thirty Years' War, Gartz became part of Swedish Pomerania . At the end of the Great Northern War, Sweden had to cede southern Western Pomerania to Prussia in the Peace of Stockholm in 1720 . So Gartz came to Prussia, where it belonged to the province of Pomerania until 1945 . From 1818 to 1939 the city belonged to the Randow district and after its dissolution from 1939 to 1945 to the Greifenhagen district . In 1944, the Ostermann ship propeller factory in Cologne relocated part of its production to Gartz, where minesweeper propellers were manufactured. In 1945 the facilities were dismantled by the Soviet occupation forces, only remnants of the reinforced concrete halls have been preserved.
At the end of the Second World War , Gartz was badly destroyed in 1945. The reconstruction has not yet been completed. When the German-Polish border was moved to the Oder due to the provisions of the Potsdam Agreement , Gartz became a border town in 1945.
After 1945, Gartz came with the German remaining part of the former province of Pomerania first to Mecklenburg and belonged to the circle with headquarters in Loecknitz rebuilt rural county Randow . In 1950 the city was reclassified to the state of Brandenburg and became part of the Angermünde district , which after the dissolution of the states in the GDR in 1952 belonged to the newly created district of Frankfurt (Oder) .
Gartz has been part of the newly constituted state of Brandenburg since 1990. On October 1, 1992, Gartz joined forces with 20 other municipalities to jointly handle administrative matters to form the Gartz (Oder) office . With the Brandenburg administrative reform in 1993, the town and office of Gartz became part of the newly formed Uckermark district .
