Rhinow [ ˈʁiːnoː ] is a town in the Havelland district in Brandenburg . Rhinow is the administrative seat of the Rhinow Office .
geography
The place is located on the southern edge of the Rhinluches and at the foot of the up to 110 meter high Rhinower Mountains. The city is traversed by the Rhin in a westerly direction. The Gülper See is located on the southwestern city limits .
City structure
The district of Kietz, a former Slavic settlement, belongs to the town of Rhinow . In addition, there are the Buchhorst, Glewe, Horst and Mühlenburg residential areas .
history
In the course of the feudal eastward expansion , a Slavic castle was taken over around 1200 and further expanded to secure the transition over the Rhin (later Mühlenburg ). A German settlement developed below the castle. There was also a Slavic settlement in the neighboring village of Kietz. The first documentary mention as "Rinowe" 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 . Rhinow was first referred to as a city in 1333. Until 1376, the town and the little country Rhinow belonged to the Counts of Lindow-Ruppin , who had to give them over to Emperor Charles IV in 1377 . In 1386, Rhinow came into the possession of the Bishop of Brandenburg as a pledge, who pledged it further. In 1441 the Mühlenburg , along with almost all of Rhinow, came into the possession of the von der Hagen family for the next 500 years . During the Thirty Years' War the Swedes under Gustav Adolf moved through the city in 1631. In 1636, Rhinow was sacked and set on fire by Swedish troops. After the Thirty Years' War, the von der Hagen family took over other farms that had become desolate ( Alter Hof , Neuer Hof ). A watermill built on the site of the now abandoned Mühlenburg was demolished in 1773.
In memory of Otto Lilienthal , a well-known gliding school was founded at the Stölln / Rhinow airfield during the Third Reich .
Rhinow has belonged to the Westhavelland district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg since 1817 and to the Rathenow district in the GDR district of Potsdam from 1952 . The community has been in the Havelland district in Brandenburg since 1993.
