history

History of Kremmens

The first written mention of the place as Cremmene dates back to December 28, 1216, when the Brandenburg Bishop Siegfried II confirmed his archdeaconate rights to the Brandenburg Cathedral Chapter when he took office . In 1298 he received city rights. The place name comes from Slavic and means pebble .

In Kremmen the Treaty of Kremmen between the Margraves Johann I and Otto III was signed on June 20, 1236 . von Brandenburg on the one hand and Duke Wartislaw III. completed by Pomerania on the other hand.

With the Treaty of Kremmen of January 29, 1318 , when the Johannitern received the goods of the Templar Order , which was dissolved in 1312, by the margravial bailiff , including Tempelhof, with all tenants (accessories to property in the form of rights and property) against payment of 1,250 marks for the appointment Margrave Woldemars were handed over to the patron and trustee of the interests of the Johanniter, the transition of the Brandenburg Templar property into the possession of the Johanniter could finally be realized.

On Kremmer dam in the Middle Ages two major battles took place. In the Pomeranian-Brandenburg War , the Brandenburg Margrave Ludwig of Brandenburg fought against the Dukes of Pomerania and lost. In 1412 the Brandenburgers again fought against the Pomeranians here. The traditions of both battles are partly contradicting and have probably mixed up over the long term. In 1845, more than 400 years later, Friedrich Wilhelm IV had a stone memorial cross erected on the roadside of the Kremmener Damm, which was to remind all passers-by of the battles of 1412 and above all to honor the Franconian knight Count Johann von Hohenlohe , who was at the Side of Brandenburg fought and died here.

Due to their loyalty in the Brandenburg-Pomeranian Wars, the von Bredow family came under the jurisdiction of the city and thus became aristocratic rulers.

Kremmen is located on the Berlin – Wilsnack pilgrimage route , which has been used since the end of the 14th century.

Like many other cities, Kremmen was ravaged by the plague in the 17th century . City fires are recorded from the years 1606, 1630 and 1680. The Elector of Brandenburg therefore issued an order in the middle of the 17th century that barns could only be built outside the city walls. This is how the Scheunenviertel on the outskirts of Kremmens came into being, which today is considered to be the largest historical Scheunenviertel still preserved in Germany.

The Thirty Years War devastated the city and the country. The von Bredows lost goods and money and separated from their possessions in Kremmen after the war. Since the family had split up into many parts, this process took several decades and the rule over Kremmen split up into several parts. In 1653 a part went to the Electress Luise Henriette von Oranien , other parts went to Major General Marcus von der Lütcke in 1649 .

Kremmen received a railway connection to Berlin in 1893 with the construction of the Kremmener Bahn .

At the time of the Nazi regime, there was a bunker in the Orion district that was used as an ammunition factory. It was damaged in the war and looted, filled in and removed from the year 2000 in the following years. During the Second World War, around Kremmen, roughly in the present-day districts of Groß-Ziethen, Sommerfeld and Verlorenort, spotlight positions of the anti-aircraft cartillery were stationed, which were manned by air force helpers from a secondary school from Zwickau in Saxony.

History of the districts (selection)

  • Flatow was first mentioned in a document in 1355. Even then, the place had its current name. It means place where ears grow . The oldest owner of the place was the von Bredow family . In the Thirty Years' War was Dietrich von Hake owner of the goods Flatow as well as the good Kremmen.
  • Hohenbruch was mentioned as a field name in 1595, founded in 1710 by decree of Frederick II at the request of descendants of Dutch farmers.

Administrative history

From 1815 to 1947 Kremmen belonged to the Osthavelland district of the Prussian province of Brandenburg , and from 1947–1952 to the state of Brandenburg in the SBZ / GDR . 1952–1993 the city was part of the Oranienburg district (until 1990 in the GDR district of Potsdam , 1990–1993 again in the state of Brandenburg). Since the district reform in Brandenburg in 1993, Kremmen has been part of the Oberhavel district .

In the course of the formation of offices in the state of Brandenburg in 1992, Beetz, Flatow, Groß-Ziethen, Sommerfeld, Staffelde and the city of Kremmen merged to form the Kremmen office . July 31, 1992 was set as the date of establishment of the office. The municipalities of Beetz, Flatow, Groß-Ziethen, Sommerfeld, Staffelde and the city of Kremmen (Kremmen Office) and the Hohenbruch municipality ( Oranienburg-Land Office ) merged on December 31, 2001 to form the new town of Kremmen. The Kremmen office was dissolved.
