Schwedt / Oder [ʃveːt] is a town in the Uckermark district . It is one of the medium-sized centers in Brandenburg .
In 2008, after eight national park communities , Schwedt was the first city in Germany to be awarded the title of National Park City , which has also been the city's official nickname since 2013. The name refers to the Lower Oder Valley National Park .
geography
_-_panoramio.jpg)
Schwedt / Oder is located in the east of the Uckermark , a landscape rich in lakes between the Lower Oder and the Upper Havel . The Uckermark is characterized by ground moraine plates and terminal moraine hills left by the Ice Age . The city was built on a sand terrace , which is only slightly above the extensive polders of the Oder valley . On the east bank of the Oder, opposite Schwedt, there are strikingly steep slopes of the terminal moraine arc on the Polish side. Between the city and the Oder, the Hohensaaten-Friedrichsthaler Wasserstraße , a canal, runs parallel to the border river as part of the Havel-Oder waterway .
Between the Oder and the Hohensaaten-Friedrichsthaler Wasserstraße there is a natural meadow landscape with a wealth of flora and fauna that is extremely rare in Central Europe. This area was declared a National Park Lower Oder Valley in 1995 . The area of the city is due to the large natural areas with approx. 200 km² about as large as that of Hanover or Magdeburg .

history
prehistory
There are traces of prehistoric settlement in the area around Schwedt (Bronze Age approx. 1000 BC).
Germanic tribes ( Semnones , tribal people of the Suebi ) populated the area since the Bronze Age.
middle Ages
On August 23, 1265 Schwedt was confirmed in writing for the first time in a document.
In 1354 Ludwig the Römer ceded Schwedt to Pomerania and from 1428 to 1432 leased it to the court banker of the Pomeranian dukes, Rule Lindstedt , for 2,400 Stettiner pfennigs.
Early modern age
In 1481 Johann I von Hohnstein acquired the Schwedt rule. The city experienced an initial boom through the Hohensteins. In particular, roads, bridges and dams were built. Shortly after each other, the Oderzoll (1505) and the town charter (1513) were renewed. Vierraden received its own town charter in 1515 based on the Schwedt model . But church things were also enforced: the Reformation and the refurbishment of the Katharinenkirche. In 1587 the town charter was renewed again. With the death of Martin von Hohenstein , the Thuringian rulers died out in 1609, and at the same time Schwedt's first glamorous period came to an end.
Schwedt was not spared from the Thirty Years' War either , as the city was an important intersection of the roads from Stettin and Prenzlau to Berlin and Frankfurt (Oder) . Schwedt was plundered 32 times in almost twenty years. In 1626 Schwedt and Vierraden provided 25 and nine armed knights with servants for the state contingent, respectively. In 1631 the field camp of the Swedish King Gustav Adolf was near Schwedt. In 1637 Schwedt was occupied again by imperial mercenaries. The Swedes, led by General Banér , demanded surrender, but they did not give in. So the general shot incendiary balls at the city, so that it went down in flames. In the end there were probably only 26 citizens who stayed there.
After the Thirty Years' War, Friedrich Wilhelm (the Great Elector) pledged Schwedt to Count Varrenbach for 25,000 thalers due to lack of money . He wanted to get as much profit as possible from his pawn and suppressed the population. When the success did not meet his expectations, he ceded the rule for 26,500 thalers to the second wife of the "Great Elector", Dorothea . With the purchase of further noble residences, Schwedt became so large that it included three cities, three castles, 33 villages and 24 farms .
Electress Dorothea devoted herself intensively to the reconstruction of the Schwedt Castle , which was damaged in the Thirty Years War , and to the economic development of the city. So she recruited a Dutch specialist who, in the spring of 1686, established the tradition of tobacco growing in the Uckermark region with the French Huguenots who had settled there. At the end of the 18th century, the Uckermark was the largest contiguous tobacco growing area in Germany with 4,400 hectares of cultivation area. With three cigar factories, tobacco was the most important economic factor in Schwedt. The last tobacco-processing operation ( VEB raw tobacco Schwedt , founded in 1953) was shortly after the turn of closed 1989/1990 and several years later completely removed. Today only a few tobacco fields and unused tobacco barns refer to this tradition. The tobacco museum in the Vierraden district, with the largest collection of tobacco growing in the region, is housed in a listed tobacco barn.
There was already Jewish life in Schwedt in the 17th century , because the Jewish cemetery in the Helbigstrasse / Schulweg area, which has survived to the present day and can be visited, dates from this time .
In 1689 Schwedt became the residence of the Margraves of Brandenburg-Schwedt , a branch of the Hohenzollern family , and in 1788 this rule was extinguished.
enlightenment
On October 6, 1713, King Friedrich Wilhelm I and the Russian General Menshikov signed a peace treaty after West Pomerania came into Prussian possession.
In 1744, the future Tsarina Catherine II of Russia stayed in Schwedt.
During the Seven Years' War , Russian Cossacks advanced as far as Schwedt several times .
The last Margrave Friedrich Heinrich (1771–1788) made Schwedt a city of culture. He set up one of the first theaters in Germany in the orangery of the Schwedt Palace. The first singing and drama took place here. Only part of the garden and the Monplaisir hunting lodge are preserved from the baroque complex .
1800 to 1945
On June 25, 1812, 37 Jewish families were declared "residents".
In 1815 the Schwedt Dragoon Regiment acquired the "Schwedt Eagle" as a traditional badge in the campaign against Napoleon (Schwedt was a garrison town from 1770 to 1937).
The Schwedt gas works was built in 1865, and in 1873 the city got a railway connection (to and from Angermünde ). The connection to the telephone network took place in 1893, to the sewerage and water network in 1908. Between 1904 and 1932 extensive hydraulic engineering measures were carried out in the lower Oder Valley with the aim of flood protection, the provision of agricultural land and the Hohensaaten-Friedrichsthaler waterway.
Swedter Jews built their synagogue at Harlanstrasse 1 in 1862 , which the National Socialists were unable to set on fire in 1938 because of the danger to the surrounding houses, but closed and later demolished, and in 1868 a mikveh was built in Gartenstrasse behind the city wall, which after it was buried 1993 was made accessible again.
In the First World War , Schwedt had 240 casualties.
Schwedt at the end of the Second World War
At the end of the Second World War , Schwedt was fiercely fought for over two months. SS-Obersturmbannführer Otto Skorzeny was deployed here. On January 31, 1945, he formed a bridgehead east of the Oder around Niederkränig with some thrown together associations . A counter-offensive against the Red Army was to be initiated from there later , but it never materialized. Skorzeny was replaced on February 28, 1945. In the last few days Schwedt was declared a fortress. His successor had to give up the fortress and bridgehead on March 3, 1945. On April 26, 1945 the Red Army took Schwedt. As a result of the fierce fighting, the city was 85 percent destroyed; the lock was burned out and the canal bridge blown up.
Schwedt after 1945
The city grew during the GDR era; Thanks to the connection to an oil pipeline, several industries emerged here. In 1959 the foundation stone for the construction of the paper mill, now LEIPA Georg Leinfelder GmbH, was laid, and in 1960 the Schwedt oil processing plant (now the PCK refinery ) was inaugurated. After the friendship (Druzhba) oil pipeline from the Ural region, which is over 3,000 kilometers long, was put into operation in 1963 , the plant mainly produced fuels from 1964 onwards . The “ Schwedt Initiative ” started in the 1980s from the refinery, which was converted into a combine at the end of 1970 . In 1975 the Schwedt shoe factory started production. This company no longer exists today. Because of the population growth, several new residential areas were built between 1960 and 1990, the population peaked at just under 54,000. The ruins of the Schwedt Castle fell victim to the restructuring measures in 1962 : the city administration had the Schwedt cultural center built on the same site in 1978 (today: Uckermärkische Bühnen Schwedt).
Within the GDR, Schwedt was synonymous with the oil industry, but also with military justice. Since 1964, the Ministry of Justice has been imprisoning soldiers who have “conspicuously” or had committed criminal offenses in former workers' barracks, which were later converted into prison, on the outskirts near the refinery. This “special camp”, officially established in 1968, was the only military prison in the GDR . Within the NVA and conscientious objectors the zip code was of Schwedt, "133" as synonymous with harsh penalties, even in Bagatellvergehen as in the case of Klaus Auerswald: He had a soldier critical of the invasion of Soviet troops in 1968 in Prague expressed. From 1982 onwards, with the establishment of a “ disciplinary unit ”, the conditions of detention were tightened . The internals of the prison were largely secret. The historical processing took place u. a. since 2008 in a research project of the Federal Commissioner for Stasi Records .
Schwedt after 1989
The city became the shopping city for the entire region in 1994 with the opening of a supraregional shopping center and several shopping arcades. In the same year the construction of a new sports hall began. In 1996 the largest cinema in the Uckermark was built (opened as “CineStar”), which, after being briefly closed in 2006, continues to be operated as the “FilmforUM” by the previous operator of the Technischen Werken Schwedt. The leisure and adventure pool “AquariUM” was inaugurated in 1999.
The flood of the Oder in 1997 did not reach Schwedt, also thanks to the large polder areas. In 2001 the newly built Schwedt harbor was opened.
Schwedt had to deal with various problems since the political change. Although the city is described as one of the few surviving “industrial cores”, the unemployment rate is 19.4% (December 2007, source: City of Schwedt / Oder). Schwedt has lost almost a third of its population since 1989. The forecasts assume that the population will decline by a further 20% by 2030. The immense vacancy rate led to whole rows of streets being torn down. On the other hand, a whole belt of single-family homes was built. The streets and the entire structure have been largely renovated, so Schwedt has a much more pleasing appearance today than it used to be.
In 1993, the documentary “The city belongs to us” drew attention to the city's problem with violent neo-Nazis in the city. Schwedt hit the headlines in July 2011 when Ibraimo Alberto, the city's former commissioner for foreigners, resigned from his post because of repeated racially motivated attacks on him.
Administrative history
Schwedt belonged to the Angermünde district from 1817 to 1952 (until 1947 in the Prussian province of Brandenburg , 1947–1952 in the state of Brandenburg ). 1952–1961 the city was part of the Angermünde district in the GDR district of Frankfurt (Oder) . On September 17, 1961 Schwedt was spun off from the Angermünde district and formed its own urban district until 1993 , and again in the state of Brandenburg from 1990. As a result of the district reform in Brandenburg in 1993, the independent city of Schwedt was incorporated into the Uckermark district.
Incorporations
In 1974 Heinersdorf was incorporated. In 1993 the three municipalities of Blumenhagen, Gatow and Kunow followed. On January 1, 1998, the official municipality of Kummerow was incorporated into the city of Schwedt / Oder and left the office of Oder-Welse . On August 1, 2001, the municipalities of Zützen and Criewen, which were also part of the office, were incorporated and also left the office of Oder-Welse. On December 31st, the municipality of Stendell, which was part of the Oder-Welse office, was incorporated. With the municipal reform in Brandenburg , the town of Vierraden , which belongs to the Gartz (Oder) district , was incorporated into Schwedt / Oder on October 26, 2003. The incorporation of the municipality of Hohenfelde, which is also part of the Gartz (Oder) office, into the city of Schwedt / Oder was approved in an announcement by the Ministry of the Interior on March 17, 2003, but only came into effect with the local elections on October 26, 2003.

Flinkenberg
In the garden pond of the former orphanage on Fabrikstrasse was the Flinkenpfuhl , which dates back to the Ice Age and was named after the young fish of the lead , the Swift. The Flinkenpfuhl had a natural connection to the Oder via the Spitelgraben. From this geographical situation it can be deduced from where the hill in the triangle Catholic Church - Jüdenstraße - Harlanstraße got the name Flinkenberg originally. The former Flinkenberg street, which was built after the city was founded in the Middle Ages, was merged with the then Viehmarktstraße on November 17, 1945 and expanded to include the Hirten- und Viehmarktstraße as far as Berliner Straße. According to plans from 1744, a splendid church of the French Reformed Church was to be built on Flinkenberg. However, the building project was realized three years later as the Berlischky Pavilion on today's Lindenallee.
Economy and Infrastructure
economy
The city's economy is dominated by the PCK refinery , which owns around ten percent of Germany's oil processing capacities. Connected to it is the Schwedt mineral oil network , which picks up the oil arriving here via the friendship pipeline and forwards it to the PCK refinery and the Total Refinery Central Germany in the Leunawerke .
The VERBIO Ethanol Schwedt GmbH operates Europe's first bioethanol plant , which is directly on the site of an oil refinery. It is extracted from rye ethanol and biomethane has been produced from straw since 2014 .
Another important economic factor is the paper industry with the three companies Georg Leinfelder Werk Süd (LEIPA) , Werk Nord (formerly UPM) and Brandenburger Tapeten Schwedt with around 1 million tons of waste paper processing annually and thus the second largest paper production location in Germany. The business location is one of 15 regional growth centers in the state of Brandenburg. This promotes selected future-oriented industries.
