history
Groß Grabow was first mentioned in a document on September 21, 1419.
Between 1200 and 1500 castles were built in the village in the form of two tower mounds. These were towers built on heights, around which there were trenches and which were supposed to secure the control of locators over the area. Settlements of German immigrants and probably also Slavic population groups arose around the tower hill . A survey map from 1758 still shows both tower hills. Only the remains of a hill are preserved.
The castle was owned by the noble knight family von Cölln , who came from Westphalia . In 1237 they built Cölln Castle (today: Kölln, Hoppenrade municipality ). From 1280 to the beginning of the 16th century, the Cöllns can be traced as the owners of the castle in Groß Grabow. The estate was built near the tower hill. After the Thirty Years' War, forests spread over large parts of the former arable land. Extensive clearing and recultivation only takes place around 100 years after the end of the war.
The estate was acquired by the Levetzow in 1667 . It was in their possession until 1778. The dairy in Grube (today: Charlottenthal ) also belonged to Gut Groß Grabow . It is believed that the manor house in Groß Grabow was built under the Levetzows. In 1842 Wilhelm Carls acquired the estate, from 1851 to 1895 it became the property of Friedrich Wilhelm Carls, then, from 1896 to 1917, it was owned by Franz Wodarg. Until the expropriation in 1945, Otto Hecker managed the estate. After the Second World War, the area first became a state estate and then a state-owned estate . In 1993 privatization followed. The manor house served as a residential building during the GDR era. After 1990 it was refurbished and now offers accommodation to mentally ill people.
The former school building of the village was built in 1903. It was taught in it until 1966, later it was used as village consumption until the sales point moved into a single-storey replacement building in the immediate vicinity in the 1980s. The former school building is still used today as a residential building. The sales rooms of the new consumption were converted for residential purposes after its closure, but were most recently empty (as of June 2010).
The previously independent community Groß Grabow was incorporated into Charlottenthal on July 1, 1950. Since the incorporation of Charlottenthal into Krakow am See on January 1, 2002, Groß Grabow has been part of this city.

Attractions
Manor house and farm
The manor house probably dates from the end of the 17th or beginning of the 18th century and was later modified and extended. It is a single-storey plastered building on a field stone foundation with two side and a two-storey central projections on the courtyard side . The latter has a gable designed in the Renaissance style. In addition to the manor house, some farm buildings, such as stables, the forge and a granary have been preserved.
Tower hill
Only the hill measuring 38 meters in diameter and a maximum of 4.5 meters in height, the foundations of the defensive tower and the remains of the ditch surrounding the hill remain of the system. The foundations were later used as an ice cellar after a partly barrel-vaulted stone ceiling was installed . This is where the name "Eiskellerberg" comes from. As part of a job creation measure, the site was cleared up in 1998 and prepared for visitors. Today the basement, which is partially bricked up and closed with metal grids, serves as accommodation for bats.
