history

As the Garzin castle wall shows, the region of today's villages was already at the latest by the Slavic period in the 8th / 10th. Settled in the 19th century. In the German East Settlement , the original village of Garzau was first mentioned in a document in 1247 as a border town owned by the Zinna monastery on the Barnim . The first mention of the street village Garzin took place in 1309 in the name of the Strausberg consul Johanne de Garzin . Both villages were owned by the Wulkow family in the 14th and 15th centuries , and then by the von Pfuel family . As early as 1724, the family of Count von Flemming is proven to be the owner.

Since 1817 Garzau belonged to the Oberbarnim district , Garzin to the Lebus district in the province of Brandenburg . Both were incorporated into the Strausberg district in the GDR district of Frankfurt (Oder) in 1952 . Since 1993 the places have been in the Brandenburg district of Märkisch-Oderland.

The municipality of Garzau-Garzin was created on December 31, 2001 from the voluntary amalgamation of the previously independent municipalities of Garzau and Garzin.
