Glienecke (Mecklenburg)
Glienecke ( also: Glienke, Glieneke) was an old village in southeast Mecklenburg , north of the old Mecklenburg country town of Strelitz on Lake Zierker . The place name is possibly derived from the Old Polish field name glina , which means something like loamy area .
In the 16th century there was only a single court in Glienecke, which remained with the princes after disputes about property around the middle of the century. According to an official inventory from 1580, there was a brewery, a barn and a cattle house. From 1636 Glienecke was the personal treasure of a Mecklenburg duchess. In 1669 a farm with sheep is mentioned. In 1683 the court was leased to Duke Adolf Friedrich (II.), Later the first regent of the Mecklenburg-Strelitz region .
A popular hunting ground for the Dukes of Mecklenburg was near Glienecke. A ducal hunting lodge was built there in 1710/11, which was expanded into a residential palace after the castle fire of 1712 in Strelitz and thus became the nucleus of the new residential town of Neustrelitz .
