history

The community was first mentioned in 1354 as Lyndow . The place was a small farming village owned by the Carthusian monastery in Frankfurt (Oder) until 1540, then it belonged to the Frankfurt University Viadrina . Lyndow was a border and customs place on the border with Saxony .

Oberlindow was founded around 1700 and belonged to the rule of those von Burgsdorf in Müllrose . Due to its location, Lindow now received the addition of Unter . Neulindow was founded by colonists in 1766 and united with Oberlindow in 1934. In 1950, Ober- and Unterlindow were merged to form Groß Lindow .

Documents from 1739 mention a settlement near the Weißenspringschen lock , but the foundation stone for the lock of the same name was laid on July 12, 1702. The place name refers to the source of drinking water that gushes out of white sand. Weißenspring took off when Frederick II transferred the hammer mill, which had been located there since 1754, to the war council Kienitz in 1765 , with the condition that 30 foreign families be settled and a pipe factory was to be established. At that time, the pipe factory and Weißenspring were in the Kaysermühl forest , part of the Biegen office .

Schlaubehammer is mentioned for the first time in 1545: vff the Eysenhammer , this hammer was probably founded in 1533. In 1647 there was talk of the Schlaube Hammer , which is due to the location on the Schlaube . In 1739 the business had already ceased and a cutting mill was built in its place .

For a short time, from September 1945 to 1947, Ober- and Unterlindow, Weißenspring and Schlaubehammer were incorporated into the city of Frankfurt (Oder) as districts , but in 1947 they were returned to the then Lebus district .

On July 1, 1950, the community of Groß Lindow was re-formed through the merger of the previously independent communities Oberlindow and Unterlindow.

Oberlindow, Unterlindow, Schlaubehammer and Weißenspring belonged to the Lebus district in the province of Brandenburg since 1817 and to the Eisenhüttenstadt-Land district in the GDR district of Frankfurt (Oder) from 1952 . Since 1993, the places have been in the Oder-Spree district of Brandenburg.
