history
The area around Joachimsthal was settled at an early stage, as can be seen from barrows and burial grounds in the area. In the Middle Ages, the border between Pomerania and Brandenburg ran along the Grimnitzsee and the Welse . To protect them, the Brandenburg electors built Grimnitz Castle on the banks of the lake of the same name in 1247. This also served them as a place of residence and a document. The first documented mention of the castle comes from 1298.
Around 1577 the first glassworks was built near the castle . Elector Joachim Friedrich had a glassworks built in 1601, for which he settled glassmakers from Bohemia. Other trades also settled down later, including a. Draper. The first written mention of Joachimsthall falls in the year 1603. The place was now also called Flecken Joachimsthall and on January 1st, 1604 received city rights. Elector Joachim Friedrich soon afterwards began building a princely school and a church, which was consecrated on August 23, 1607. On the following day the Princely School was inaugurated as the Joachimsthalsches Gymnasium and provided with rich property and income. These included u. a. the electoral hunting lodge, extensive land holdings, fishing rights, the glassworks, mills and various rights in the city of Joachimsthal.
During the following Thirty Years War , the place was on 5./6. Attacked January 1636 and devastated the school. Grimnitz Castle also suffered damage and the Vorwerk , the Schönhof in Golzow, was burned down. After the Thirty Years War, new glassworks were built in Grimnitz. However, the city of Joachimsthal recovered only slowly. The next stroke of fate was the town fire of April 20, 1814. It destroyed 39 farmsteads, the Schulamtshof with the official building, all stables and barns, the brewery and distillery, the church, the school and the homestead. The architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel dealt with the project to rebuild the destroyed buildings. The church was finished in 1820, the school probably in 1823.
In July 1898 the railway line from Eberswalde to Joachimsthal was put into operation, which was then completed in December to Templin . In 1888 the Joachimsthal manor district was incorporated into the city, parts of the Grimnitz-Forst manor district and the Schorfheide forest estate followed (Joachimsthal forest with dam house, Zorndorf and stone pit) in 1929 and Altgrimnitz in 1938.
