history
Early days
After the Vistula Ice Age , people immigrated to the Hohenfinow area. Bronze Age shards were found near Liebenstein (today part of Hohenfinow) . Between Hohenfinow and Amalienhof, on the edge of the glacial valley, a prehistoric burial ground is suspected. The stone boxes were destroyed in the 18th century, but individual remains of weapons were found. A sword from the Younger Bronze Age was found in the moor near Karlswerk.
Finow Castle
The place is of Slavic origin. The region was conquered by the Ascanians around 1200 . After the construction of about 10 km from the Castle Oderberg (then Low German "vein Castle") in 1213 was at the strategic point above the Finow the castle Finow founded. In 1904, during excavations at Hohenfinow Castle at a depth of 2.50 m, a Mecklenburg bull's head bracteat was found, which was minted around 1220. This year is assumed to be the year the castle was built.
The castle had the task of protecting the ford of the Finow (today Niederfinow lift bridge). The next fords were ten kilometers to the west and ten kilometers to the east near the cities of Eberswalde and Bad Freienwalde (Oder) , which had not yet been founded . The Slavs in the north and east were to be deterred, the castle offered protection for the surrounding agricultural areas.
Name of the place
The name Finow comes from pre-Slavic times. The Middle Low German word fino (u) we probably means root . It is made up of the Indo-European pen = mud, swamp, water, moist and uei, ui = twist, bend, wind , which were combined with the West Germanic suffix -n and the Slavic -ov . Finow means freely transmitted winding river with swamps . At the time the area around Hohenfinow and Niederfinow was settled by the Slavs, the hill south of the Finow river was strategically important. The ford near Neustadt (today Eberswalde ) was less clear due to the topographical conditions; today's district town only gained importance in 1317 through a determination by Margrave Waldemar . Waldemar decreed that the trade route from Frankfurt (Oder) and Berlin to Stettin no longer had to run via Hohenfinow / Niederfinow, but via Neustadt-Eberswalde. To do this, he had a bridge built over the Ragöse . The establishment of the Finow Castle and the town of Hohenfinow as the most important settlement at the time on the 35 kilometer long river give rise to the name. About the same time as Niederfinow, a few kilometers south of Hohenfinow was built , which was named because of the customs office for land and water customs on the river via Vienouie .
Later other places were created that have the river in their name: Finow and Finowfurt .
The place has changed its name several times in history, but the original meaning has been retained.
