history

The name Lindenberg comes from the Middle Low German Lindberch, which means a settlement on a mountain with lime trees. Lindenberg was first mentioned in writing in 1566 as Lindtberge, 1600 as Lindberg, 1608 as Lindtberge and in 1684 and 1775 as Lindenberg.

Manors

In the early Middle Ages, the place belonged to the little country Cumlosen , which formed a manor with the places Müggendorf, Lütkenwisch, Jagel, Bernheide and Gadow, and until 1406 also Babekuhl. The places did not have a church. The first landlord mentioned is John the Elder of Cumlosen in 1264. The margraves of Brandenburg , the Mecklenburg lords and the counts of Schwerin fought over the little country . In the 14th century the little country, in which the noble families von Retzdorf, von Möllendorff and von Platen ruled, probably belonged to the "terra" Perleberg . As a medieval village, Lindenberg fell into desolation early on . A manor settlement was not established here until the 16th century.

In Lindenberg, the von Möllendorff ruled, who since the 15th century also acquired the duty to Cumlosen proportionally and who, like many Brandenburg nobles, came from the Altmark . In 1566 Lindenberg was a residence of the von Möllendorff family, in 1608 a knight's seat. In 1693 Gut Lindenberg is mentioned with a knight's seat and the whole of Feldmark. It even owns shares in the Elbe fishery.

The landlords had patrimonial jurisdiction until 1849. Since the 16th century, when the farmers took over the farm, there was also a hereditary subordination. The rulers had a pre-emptive right to the children of their subjects. In 1636 the von Möllendorff zu Bernheide, Gadow and Lindenberg officially spoke of their "inherited subjects".

In the 18th century there was a Dutch factory in Lindenberg . The tenant Adolph John is known by name. John had leased two further Dutch farms in Lindenberg and Kuhwinkel and paid 2,000 thalers a year for them. The von Willamowitz-Möllendorff rulers lasted until 1872.
