Location of Golm in Brandenburg

Golmer Church

Golm is a village in the east of the Uckermark . Until December 30, 2001, Golm was an independent municipality and today, like the neighboring Fredersdorf, belongs to the municipality of Zichow in the Uckermark district in northeast Brandenburg .

geography

The area around Golm lies between the glacial valleys of the Ucker , Welse and Randow on a ground moraine plateau , which is characterized by numerous lakes and ponds without drainage, some of which are in the process of silting up. Halfway from the village center in a south-westerly direction to 101 m above sea level. NHN high Langen Berg is the wooded vineyard (81 m above sea level), which protrudes from an otherwise largely treeless landscape.

history

The village developed from a former manor . Over the centuries the name changed from the original Golym to Golin to Golm ( Slavic : "mountain").

Ludwig the Roman and Duke Barnim IV negotiated in 1354 about the cession of the Uckermark region to Pomerania , in which the manor Golm was also located. A document from one of these negotiations is considered to be the oldest existing document about the existence of Golm. The assignment to Pomerania was later confirmed twice by Emperor Charles IV (1355 and 1370) and the place consequently does not appear in Charles IV's Brandenburg Land Book drawn up in 1375 .

The Zichower Schlossherren von Arnim were from 1472 and owner of the lands on the "veld Golme" the wild marrow , which suggests that the settlement Golm one at this time deserted village was. The rule of various branch lines of those von Arnim ( Rechliner , Temmener Linie) lasted with short interruptions until 1864.

Two farms and two sheep farms have come down to us for 1608 . After the Thirty Years' War the village was rebuilt and was populated with cottages and residents. Instead of the old church ruin, the Golm church was rebuilt as a branch of the Parish Zichow in 1711 at the instigation and at the expense of Stefan von Arnim . She received a tower with three bells. The year 1711 can still be seen on the door beam of the vestibule to the church entrance . The church and a farmhouse at Dorfstrasse 30 are listed as architectural monuments in Brandenburg's state monument list.

In 1774 there were 184 inhabitants in Golm, in the 19th century the number of inhabitants was between 230 and 270, only to reach the highest level of 390 after the First World War . The reason for this was the newly established and supraregional active settlement community “Eigen Scholle” , which also bought building land in Golm and enabled refugees from the ceded areas in West Prussia and around Posen to build a new existence.

In 1906 Golm got a connection to the railway network. The route from Schönermark to Gramzow of the Schönermark – Damme district railway ran along the western outskirts of Golm. On May 26, 1979 the operation of the railway line was stopped due to unprofitability, the tracks were later demolished. The lines can still be seen clearly on satellite images, as they - often running on embankments - mark the boundaries of fields. In Golm, remnants of railway buildings, a disused loading ramp and finally Bahnhofstrasse are reminiscent of the days when the railway was in operation.

Economy and Infrastructure

From 1960 the collectivization of agriculture was almost completely introduced in Golm. This resulted in the management of ever larger fields, the use of heavy technology and intensive amelioration . Even after the fall of the Wall in 1989, large-scale agricultural cooperatives shaped the landscape. The residents of Golm are partly employed in agriculture and partly in craft businesses. Some golfers commute to larger communities in the area or to the industrial city of Schwedt / Oder .

The clubs that actively determine village life today include the shooting club and the fire brigade club.

Transport links

A connecting road leads through the municipality from Passow via Briest and Golm to Fredersdorf and Zichow . In Passow and Zichow there is a connection to the federal highway 166 from Schwedt / Oder to the Uckermark motorway junction ( A 11 / A 20 ) and to the district town of Prenzlau . The train station in the nearby municipality of Passow is on the Berlin-Stettin railway line .
