Groß Glienicke in Havelland was first mentioned in a document in 1267. The place name was derived from the Slavic term for clay and clay glina . The village church, a plastered stone building, was built in the 13th / 14th centuries. Century. The pulpit , altarpiece , patronage stalls and other furnishings in the church date from around 1680. The church contains epitaphs and tombstones of the former lords of the von Ribbeck family , who resided here from 1572 to 1788. At the beginning of the 20th century , the Otto Wollank family had historicizing buildings and a hereditary burial erected in the former park of the manor . The manor was abandoned after the death of the last owner, the couple Otto and Dorothea Wollank because of its debt burden in 1938, the mansion burned in 1945 from. Administratively, the rural community initially belonged to the Havelländisches Kreis and from 1817 to the district or later district of Osthavelland within the administrative district of Potsdam in the province of Brandenburg. In 1910 there were 248 inhabitants in the 6.7 km² community. When in 1920 the neighboring Kladow was included as part of the Spandau district in the formation of Greater Berlin , Gross Glienicke became the neighboring municipality of the capital; In view of the distance of over 20 km to the city center of Berlin, the ties with Potsdam and Spandau dominate to this day. In 1939 the population had grown to 2271.

An exchange of territory between the Soviet occupation zone and the British Sector of Berlin (see also Staaken ) resulted in the municipality area coming to the West Berlin district of Spandau from the middle of the Groß Glienicker See in 1945 and now, as a locality, Groß-Glienicke belongs to the district of Kladow.

The estate park and its facilities were severely damaged by the course of the inner-German border . The Berlin Wall separated the the GDR - district of Potsdam associated community from Groß Glienicker See from. The lake was a popular leisure destination for West Berliners, and the citizens on the other side of the Wall were unable to see it. Only the street name Seepromenade reminded them of living in the immediate vicinity of a large swimming and recreational body of water. The border ran in the middle of the lake, so there were occasional border incidents.
