Kränzlin is a village in Brandenburg on the Ruppiner Platte about five kilometers west of Neuruppin and has about 450 inhabitants (2006). It belongs to the municipality of Märkisch Linden .

history

The first written mention of the settlement comes from 1291 as Krencelin . The name is derived from the personal name Kranschela . Around 1490 Kränzlin was part of the Ruppin rule, which was essentially imperial, under the rule of the Counts of Lindow-Ruppin .

"Like almost all goods in Ruppinschen, Kränzlin also consisted of a number of knight seats, and in the decades that preceded the Thirty Years' War, four families lived here: those of Leeste, von der Gröben, von Gühlen and von Fratz." Theodor Fontane sums up in one sentence what has determined the history of Kränzlin for centuries: agriculture, especially that of the manors on which the farm workers hired themselves. In 1800 the families of nine full farmers , six half farmers , five kossäts , 33 residents , five craftsmen, two landlords and a forester lived in Kränzlin . Until 1849 Kränzlin belonged to the Neuruppin Patrimonial Court.

Between 1942 and 1944, at least four Polish men who were employed as forced laborers in agriculture died here. The graves of those affected could no longer be found in the local cemetery in 1970, but the grave of another Pole from 1941. However, this can no longer be seen today either.

In 1946 the manor was expropriated and distributed to 119 new farmers. As early as 1953, they had to cede their land and bring it to an LPG .

On December 30, 1997, Kränzlin voluntarily merged with other independent communities to form the community of Märkisch Linden.

Population development

Kränzlin had the highest number of inhabitants after the Second World War as a result of the reception of refugees and displaced persons , especially from Western Pomerania, West and East Prussia and Silesia.

Attractions

Village church

One of the village's few landmarks, the church, was badly damaged during the GDR era and has been partially repaired since German reunification . The Association for the Promotion of the Preservation and Restoration of the Church in Kränzlin e. V. made a significant contribution to this. The association members supported the preservation of the church and actively helped to preserve the medieval stone church.

Next to the church is the parsonage where Karl Friedrich Schinkel went in and out because his older sister Sophie Eleonore Elisabeth was married to Pastor Gotthilf Friedrich Tobias Wagner, who worked here from 1793 to 1806.

In his book "Norden", Louis-Ferdinand Céline describes this place and its inhabitants. In the apocalyptic conditions of the war year 1944, all social classes (nobility, bourgeoisie, peasants) are described as selfish and decadent. Céline's anarchistic view of the world and of man made the residents of Kränzlin and Neuruppin anything but good at this time.
