history
The name Gransee comes from Old High German (Middle Low German) from grans for beak, tip, horn, or, what is less likely, grand / grant for gravel, sand. The second part of the name should come from the Middle Low German oie or Old Low German ouwie for Aue , land by the water or island . In 1262 Gransee Grasoyge wrote itself , 1267 Gransoye , 1285 and 1290 Granzoye , 1302 Granzoge , 1333 Granzowe and 1373 Gransoge . Cransehe appeared in 1499/1500 .
Archaeological finds show that the area of today's town of Gransee was settled as early as the Bronze Age. The Gransee sword is dated to the Middle Bronze Age (1600-1300 BC). During urban renewal work, urns from the Younger Bronze Age (1300–800 BC) were found under the pavement.
Between 600 BC Until the turn of the century , the Jastorf culture was widespread around Gransee , a pre-Germanic culture from which a Germanic tribal association developed, which the Romans called the Suebi . With the beginning of the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and the invasion of the Ostrogoths by the Huns in the second half of the 4th century, the migration of peoples began, during which many Germanic tribes left their traditional areas and headed west and south. They were followed in the middle of the 6th century by Slavs from the east of the Oder ( Sukow-Szeligi group ) and the Slavs of the so-called Prague group , who settled between the Elbe and Oder and from which the Abodrites and the Havel-Spree tribes developed. The name of the local part Wendefeld today refers to the earlier existence of Slavic tribes in the vicinity of Gransee.
With the final conquest of Brandenburg Castle by Albrecht the Bear in 1157 , the way was paved for German settlers from areas west of the Elbe and the displacement or assimilation of the Slavs from the Heveller and Sprewanen tribe who had previously lived here . The Mark Brandenburg was extended to the Oder by his son Otto I of Brandenburg and his successors , which was a prerequisite for founding monasteries and towns.
The city, which was granted the right to the old town of Brandenburg , was probably built around 1200 at the crossroads of important trade routes. Gransee gained town charter and duty-free in 1262 , in 1319 Gransee was pledged to the Counts of Lindow-Ruppin and subsequently part of the Ruppin rule . In the same year, the first council constitution is documented. From this time on, the city was strongly fortified as a border town to Mecklenburg and Uckermark to the north . From 1330, the construction of a circular wall with 35 Wiek houses and the creation of moats began, which were later supplemented by the Zehdenicker Tor, the Ruppiner Tor, waiting towers and powder towers .
In 1316 the Battle of Gransee took place, in which Brandenburg on the one hand and Denmark and Mecklenburg on the other faced each other in the dispute over the Land of Stargard . The city was mainly inhabited by arable citizens and craftsmen . When Gransee let the wrong Waldemar move in, the city fell out of favor with Margrave Ludwig and had to wall up the city gates. At the end of the 13th century a Franciscan monastery was founded, which was dissolved in 1541 during the Reformation . In 1524 Gransee came to the Mark Brandenburg as part of the Ruppin rule . Several city fires (1604, 1621) and the Thirty Years' War caused severe damage to the city. A town fire on June 19, 1711 was so devastating that Gransee was rebuilt with a new town plan . From the industrialization in the 18./19. In the 18th century, the city remained largely untouched, so that the medieval cityscape was preserved despite several city fires.
On July 10, 1877, the Berlin Northern Railway was opened, giving Gransee a fast and direct railway connection to Berlin , Neustrelitz and Neubrandenburg . In 1878 it was possible to travel by train to Stralsund and, with the opening of the Lloydbahn in 1886, to Rostock . From 1930 the Stechlinseebahn ran from Gransee station to Neuglobsow . At the beginning of the 1950s, the train still ran between Gransee and Großwoltersdorf . In 2006 the line was completely dismantled.
Between 1952 and 1993 Gransee was the administrative seat of the Gransee district (until 1990 in the GDR district of Potsdam ) and has been part of the Oberhavel district since then. On August 14, 1977 the Red Army missile disaster occurred in a nearby Red Army ammunition dump . Several hundred Soviet Katyusha rockets were launched in an uncontrolled manner by a lightning strike and caused considerable property damage within a radius of up to 20 kilometers, even though they were not equipped with detonators . There were no victims among the German population; the losses among the Soviet soldiers are estimated at 70 deaths. The exact circumstances and the number of Soviet victims are still unknown today.
On February 13, 1997 Altlüdersdorf, Kraatz-Buberow (merger of Buberow and Kraatz on January 1, 1974), Meseberg and Neulögow were incorporated. Seilershof followed on September 27, 1998. Dannenwalde was incorporated on January 1, 2003.

With the construction of the Berlin Northern Railway and the resulting sales opportunities in Berlin, the first fruit plantations in Gransee emerged on large areas at the turn of the 20th century. The Brandenburg fruit and grape breeding cooperative was founded as early as 1907, the fruit estate on the Katharinenhof in 1912/1913, and the Granseer Gartenbau GmbH in 1930. During the GDR era, the cultivation areas were managed by GPG Obst- und Gartenbau and the state-owned horticultural estate . The tradition has been continued since 1991 by Granseer Obst- und Gartenbau GmbH. Agrar GmbH Kraatz was established in 1992 from a former LPG with a focus on grain cultivation and cattle breeding. In the summer of 2009 , a pig fattening facility with almost 1,500 animals was opened just one kilometer from Schloss Meseberg , the guest house of the federal government . The Messerschmitt Foundation, as the owner of the castle, was piqued because of the unpleasant smell to be expected for the sometimes high-ranking and especially the Muslim guests.
