history

Gramzow monastery ruins

During excavations in preparation for the Baltic Sea pipeline connection line OPAL , a group of seven Slavic body graves from the first half of the 12th century was found near Neumeichow. The skeletons were examined by the anthropologist Bettina Jungklaus . The four adults and three children were all buried stretched out on their backs in an east-west orientation. Four of the dead had their heads to the east, the others to the west. A 45 to 50 year old woman had two temple rings in the head area as part of the late Slavic costume. The other graves were empty. The woman with the temple rings also had a large and a small stone on her head and a large stone on her feet. Such “fossils” have been known for a long time in late Slavic body graves. They are likely aimed at preventing the deceased from returning . In this woman, this could have been due to six osteomas of different sizes on the frontal bone. The largest was 13 mm in diameter and 5 mm high. These benign, slow-growing bone tumors usually do not cause pain. However, depending on their location and size, they are clearly visible, as is the case with the woman buried here. The position of the large osteoma directly on the forehead above the left eye marked the face in a distinctive way during his lifetime.

Gramzow was first mentioned in 1168 as villa Gramsowe (village), making it the “oldest documented place in the Uckermark ” ( Lieselott Enders ). In 1177/78 the Premonstratensian monastery Gramzow was founded. In 1714 the monastery church burned down. Only a part of the west wall has survived to this day. The ruined monastery is a landmark of Gramzow. Gramzow was first mentioned as a town in 1288, and since 1586 only as a town . The city ruler was the monastery, from 1542/43 the sovereign (elector).

In 1687 the French colony was founded. The Réfugiés received the monastery church, which burned down in 1714, for their services.

Administrative history

Gramzow, Lützlow, Meichow and Polßen belonged to the Angermünde district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg since 1817 .
