Prenzlau ( Low German Prentzlow ) is the district town and the administrative seat of the northern Brandenburg district of Uckermark , one of the medium-sized centers in Brandenburg . Prenzlau is the historic capital of the Uckermark landscape and, in the Middle Ages , was one of the four largest cities in the Mark Brandenburg along with Berlin-Cölln , Frankfurt (Oder) and Stendal .
Origin and spelling of the place name
The place name is of Slavic origin and means "settlement of a man named Premyslaw" . Between the 15th and the end of the 19th century there is evidence of both the spelling Prentzlau / Prenzlau and Prentzlow / Prenzlow .
geography
The city is located about 100 km north of Berlin and 50 km west of Szczecin ( Poland ). In Prenzlau, the Ucker river leaves the Unteruckersee (the largest of the numerous Uckermark lakes ) on its way north towards the Baltic Sea into the Stettiner Haff . The urban area borders the “Uckermärkische Seen” nature reserve in the southwest, and the two largest lakes in the Uckermark adjoin the city of Prenzlau in the south: the Unteruckersee and the Oberuckersee in the Schorfheide-Chorin biosphere reserve.

history
Until the 19th century
Archaeological finds show that today's urban area has been inhabited since the younger Stone Age. After increasing settlement activities by Slavic tribes could be observed from the 7th century, the area developed into a central settlement and castle complex in the 10th to 13th centuries. In the 10th to 12th centuries there was a late Slavic rampart west of the Ucker ("Röwenburg"). A late Slavic settlement (in the area of today's Sabinenkirche) emerged as a forerunner of the Pomeranian city foundation. In the first half of the 12th century, another late Slavic / early German settlement emerged in the area of the later Franciscan monastery.
Towards the end of the 12th century, the Dukes of Pomerania called numerous Low German settlers into the area as part of the high medieval state development in Germania Slavica , who established new independent settlements.
Prenzlau was first mentioned in 1187 by a priest Stephan in Prenzlau (Stephanus sacerdos Prinzlauiensis) as a documentary witness. In 1188 it was described as Prenczlau as a castle town with a market and a jug (castrum cum foro et taberna) . A church and one of the three mints in Pomerania (with Stettin and Demmin ) also belonged to this place . In 1188, Prenzlau was an important long-distance trading center with a central local function, which in 1234 was elevated to a free city (civitas libera) under German law, the most modern city law at the time, by Duke Barnim I (Pomerania) . The town charter contained a novelty, the double seal of Duke Barnim I - above an older one and below the seal from the exhibition period. There is currently no explanation for this unusual appearance of two seals from the same exhibitor.
The central town, which was granted city rights in 1234, had grown together from three settlement centers. The oldest Slavic settlement core was west of the Ucker around the St. Sabine Church. To the east of the Ucker a commercial settlement arose around the church of St. Nicolai and a more agrarian-oriented settlement around St. Jacobi.
At the time of the Landin Treaty in 1250, the city of Prenzlau already had four parish churches and a monastery (Magdalene), including the Marienkirche as the first hall church in East Elbe . With seven churches from the High Middle Ages, Prenzlau was the most richly endowed community of the Mark with churches after the twin and cathedral cities of Brandenburg.
Soon after 1234, before 1250, the city was completely fenced , presumably, as was customary at that time, with ramparts, palisades and moats. All of the Brandenburg cities received stone city walls in the second half of the 13th century at the earliest. B. Prenzlau 1287. The city got water mills and a field mark of 300 Hufen , the largest rural equipment in a city between the Elbe and Oder.
The Magdalenenkloster was also built before 1250 , presumably as a donation from a member of the Pomeranian ruling house. The Reform Order, popular in the Altreich at that time, was created in the 1220s to offer prostitutes who were not allowed to marry the opportunity to escape from the brothel to the monastery. Although women from the bourgeoisie and the nobility also entered Magdalenenkloster, the choice of this order should be an indication of the “metropolitan” character of Prenzlau among the Pomeranian dukes.
The primacy established under the Pomeranian dukes meant that Prenzlau never lost its membership in the top group of cities in the Mark Brandenburg (with Berlin / Cölln , Brandenburg, Frankfurt (Oder) and Stendal ). The inclusion in the trading area of the Hanseatic League , without any evidence of Prenzlaus membership , was particularly beneficial. According to the land book of Emperor Karl IV. In 1377 [!] Prenzlau and Stendal had to pay a land amount of 500 marks each in silver. The twin cities of Brandenburg followed a long way behind with 300 pounds of silver. The Ascanians successfully continued the development policy of the Pomeranian dukes.
After the Ascanian Margraves of Brandenburg died out in 1320, the sovereign balance of power changed several times. In the 13./14. In the 19th century Prenzlau experienced its heyday. In 1426 the city came under Brandenburg rule again under the Hohenzollern family.
Prenzlau suffered a lot from the Thirty Years War and its consequences. The entire region was severely depopulated and economic performance was at a low point. From December 20-22, 1632, the body of the Swedish King Gustav II Adolf was kept in St. Mary's Church . Towards the end of the 17th century, the number of inhabitants increased again due to the influx of Huguenots . These revitalized many branches of industry through the introduction of new production methods. Further measures, such as intensive urban development and the expansion of postal routes as well as a general strengthening of the handicrafts led to an economic recovery in the first half of the 18th century.
The city suffered another setback due to the Seven Years' War . Prenzlau had already been declared a garrison town in the 17th century and military buildings shaped the cityscape more and more. In the Fourth Coalition War , the Prussian General Hohenlohe surrendered near Prenzlau on October 28, 1806 with his remaining 12,000-strong army to the French army . From 1806 to 1812 Prenzlau suffered from French occupation and heavy contributions .
In the middle to the end of the 19th century, some people from Prenzlau emigrated to Australia and founded a new place there called Prenzlau (Queensland) . It is located about 70 km west of Brisbane .
20th and 21st centuries
During the National Socialist era , the synagogue of the large Jewish community built in 1832 was desecrated and destroyed during the November pogrom in 1938 , as were the two Jewish cemeteries at the water tower in today's city park , whose broken tombstones were used as paving stones. The New Jewish Cemetery at Pushkinstrasse 60 was restored after 1945. In the Second World War , Prenzlau lost around 600 people. At the end of April 1945, around 85 percent of the Prenzlau city center was destroyed (inner city 716 of 832, outer city 205 of 1298 properties).
The reconstruction of the destroyed city center began in 1952. Due to the shortage of housing and low economic power in the post-war years, mainly prefabricated buildings , which were popular with the population, were built. In 1974 and 1975 there were individual major fires.
At first the agribusiness was at the center of the economy. Operations such as the sugar factory, the dairy farm, a grain mill and a brewery were important employers. The founding of the Armaturenwerk Prenzlau (AWP) in 1967 created more than 1000 new jobs and the company became the city's largest employer.
After 1990, in the course of German reunification, there were extensive upheavals in all areas. The cityscape was changed by the renovation of numerous buildings and traffic routes, some streets were given new names and former barracks from the Imperial and National Socialist era were converted into administrative or school buildings. Many companies had to close, others reduced their workforce considerably.
Administrative history
From 1817 to 1947 Prenzlau was the district town of the Prenzlau district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg , and from 1947–1952 in the state of Brandenburg . 1952–1990 the Prenzlau district belonged to the GDR district of Neubrandenburg , then again to the state of Brandenburg. Since the district reform in 1993 , Prenzlau has been the administrative seat of the Uckermark district .

Sights and culture
Churches and monasteries
The following churches and monasteries are arranged according to the order in which they were built. With the exception of the Heiliggeistkapelle and the youngest church (Maria Magdalena), they have been used as Protestant parish churches since the Reformation until today.
- The Sabinenkirche (formerly also St. Sabinen, St. Sabini ) is probably the oldest church in Prenzlau because it is located in the area of the Slavic predecessor settlement (Burgstadt) on the left bank of the Ucker. A Magdalen monastery ( 1250–1290) belonged to St. Sabini, and since 1291 a Benedictine monastery (later also called Sabine monastery). The church and monastery were built shortly before 1250, the monastery a little later than the church, which became the monastery church. The church was reformed in 1543 and the monastery was secularized. According to the visitation files from 1543 it was "almost old and dilapidated" . In 1861 it became the property of the city of Prenzlau through several owners. The monastery buildings have completely disappeared today. The structure of the church was changed at the beginning of the 19th century. Since the secularization of the monastery in 1543, it has served as the Protestant parish church of St. Sabinen to this day.
- The old Nikolaikirche ( St. Nicolai ) is the oldest parish church in Prenzlaus on the right of the Ucker. The name Nikolaikirche suggests that it was the church of a merchant settlement. Although the Old Nikolaikirche had already been given up for church purposes before the Thirty Years War , Süring reported a funeral "between the towers" for 1626. After the collapse and later demolition of the nave of the church building, which the people of Prenzlauer proverbially called a “desert church”, only the tower, a western building, now exists . In 1577, the Nikolai patronage was transferred to the church of the former Dominican monastery.
- The Jakobikirche ( St. Jacobi ) was built in the first half of the 13th century, probably as the second oldest parish church on the right bank of the Ucker, as the center of a more agrarian-oriented settlement.
- Marienkirche : originally begun after 1235, three-aisled field stone hall with a nave-wide tower (west building), two-bay nave , transept and retracted choir . Extension 1289–1340 in the brick Gothic style (including the western part of the previous building). Main parish church of Prenzlau (with branches St. Nicolai, St. Jacobi and St. Sabini). Chapels were added in the 14th and 15th centuries; North tower (height: 68 meters) from the 16th century, from 20 to 22 December 1632 the body of King Gustav II Adolf was kept in it; South tower (height: 64 meters) from the 18th century, burned out in 1945, rebuilt after 1970. The late Gothic St. Mary's altar created by the master of the Prenzlauer high altar was saved. This successor building is considered to be the first hall church east of the Elbe. Its splendid eastern façade is “unique in brick Gothic” ( Dehio manual ) because of its sophisticated construction .
- Church of the former Franciscan monastery : The church is called Dreifaltigkeitskirche and was dedicated to St. John the Baptist . It was built as a simple mendicant order church in the middle of the 13th century and completed in 1253, the installation of the vaults took place in the second half of the 14th century. The church was used by the united (Franco-German) community from 1694 until it had to be abandoned in 1774 due to dilapidation. It was not until 1846/1865 that it was restored or rebuilt to such an extent that the Reformed Church could use it again. The Franciscan monastery or " barefoot " was founded between 1240 and 1250; because of the color of the brothers' habit it was called the "Gray Monastery". Between 1536 and 1543 it was secularized and given as a fief to a knight. The buildings were demolished in 1735 without leaving any traces.
- Church of the former Dominican monastery "Zum Heiligen Kreuz": The monastery was founded in 1275 by Margrave Johann II (Brandenburg) and his wife Hedwig von Werle . Construction of the monastery church began in 1275; The church was consecrated in 1343. Because of the color of the Dominican cloak, it was called the "Black Monastery". After the secularization of the monastery in 1544, it was given to the city as a hospital for the poor. In 1577 the monastery church became the parish church of the parish that had become homeless due to the collapse of the Nikolaikirche and was henceforth called St. Nikolai (Nikolairche). Since 2000, the former monastery as a cultural center in its largely preserved buildings has mainly housed the Prenzlau Cultural History Museum ("Dominican Monastery Prenzlau") as well as the city library, the city archive and an event center.
- Heiliggeistkapelle : early 14th century, formerly the chapel of the Heiliggeisthospital, used by the Uckermärkisches Museum from 1899, burnt out in 1945. The chapel has been reconstructed since 2011 and is to be converted into a show brewery.
- Former Georgenkapelle : First mentioned in a document in 1320 as the chapel of the hospital in front of the Schwedter Tor. In the 17th century the chapel was converted into two storeys for residential purposes and has not been used for church since then.
- St. Maria Magdalena ( Catholic Church ): built in 1892 in neo-Gothic style, destroyed in 1945 and rebuilt in 1952.
