Gnewikow is a district of the district town of Neuruppin in the Brandenburg district of Ostprignitz-Ruppin .

On his hikes through the Mark Brandenburg , Theodor Fontane also came to the town in July 1859 : "Gnewikow, Karwe and Wustrau are manors" ( Theodor Fontane : Walks through the Mark Brandenburg) he wrote on the occasion of a walk around the Ruppiner See.

history

The street village Gnewikow extends on the gently sloping east bank of the Ruppiner See .

The village, which was probably founded at the beginning of the 13th century, was first mentioned in a document in 1252. Until the 17th century the place consisted of a Lehnschulzengut, two aristocratic residential courtyards, ten farms and two cottages . The conditions in the village were largely determined by the von Woldeck family , who ruled Gnewikow from 1307 to around 1850. In addition, other families owned shares. Around 1490 Gnewikow belonged to the Ruppin rule of the Counts of Lindow-Ruppin, which was essentially imperial . The last Woldeck on Gnewikow was Ernst von Woldeck (1788–1863), whom the farmers in the village called Seebaron . In addition to the manor district, there was the farming community, which was greatly reduced in the 19th century in favor of the landowners. The street village developed in the direction of Wuthenow .

In the visitation report from 1541 the village was named Gnebikow.

The places Gnewikow and Karwe formed the community Gnewikow-Karwe from May 20, 1974 to May 5, 1984. Since December 6, 1993 the place with the Vorwerke Hermannshof, Seehof and Seeblick belongs to Neuruppin.

Manor house with park

manor

The estate has belonged to the von Woldeck family since the late Middle Ages and only became the property of the middle-class Jacobs family in 1844. In 1800 the construction of a single-storey manor house began , which was extended in 1870 and provided with late classicist facades. The manor park is designed with numerous garden art elements and thus shapes the cultural landscape around the Ruppiner See. Since the reconstruction in 2003/2004, the manor house has been used as a hotel and restaurant Gut Gnewikow and belongs to the youth village on the Ruppiner See .

Village church

Village church

Gnewikow "emerges most clearly from the reed and forest banks and, with its church tower and farmhouses, is a special ornament of the lake" ( Theodor Fontane : Walks through the Mark Brandenburg). The village church, mother church in 1541, Mater vagans from 1648, was looked after by Karwe, Wustrau, Radensleben and Neuruppin. The right of patronage lay with the estate.

The church is a largely originally preserved testimony to late medieval architecture in the Ruppiner Land . In addition to the sacrament niche in the north wall of the chancel, remains of the original ornamental wall painting have been preserved from the pre-Reformation period. The two-story altar structure from the 17th century shows oil paintings of the Last Supper and the Crucifixion. To the left is the pulpit with parapet images of Christ and the Evangelists.

The rhombic gable of the northern extension is one of the oldest examples of half-timbered construction in the region. On the eastern side of the churchyard you can still find the weathered tombstone of Rittmeister Gregor von Woldeck (1667–1735).

Former vocational school of the Volksgut with dormitory

Built between 1956 and 1958, the building was used as a regional training center for skilled workers in agricultural professions. The complex is an example of rural architecture from the 1950s and documents the social change after 1945. Today, as the International Youth Village Gut Gnewikow , the building offers accommodation to group travelers, families and individual tourists.
