In the north the district borders on Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , in the east on the city markings of Fürstenberg / Havel, in the south Dagow and in the west on Neuglobsow (both places are districts of the municipality of Stechlin ). Steinförde is located on the Havel in an area rich in forests and lakes. Most of the district belongs to the Stechlin nature reserve . Steinförde includes the districts of Steinhavelmühle an der Steinhavel, Kleinmenow and Großmenow am Ellbogensee , where there is a campsite.

history

Steinförde was first mentioned in a document in 1350. The place name Steinförde or Stenfurde was derived from a stony ford that used to exist here. Steinförde was owned by the von Dewitz zu Priepert family around 1400 . The later district of Großmenow came to the Mark Brandenburg in 1418 through a donation by von Dewitz to the Cistercian convent in Lindow . Steinförde remained in Mecklenburg possession. In 1569, despite an imperial letter of protection, the von Dewitz family's property was confiscated by ducal officials. With the division of Mecklenburg by the Hamburg settlement , Steinförde was assigned to Mecklenburg-Strelitz .

In 1798 53 residents lived in Großmenow, including ten Büdner and one shepherd. In 1845 there were 75 inhabitants, 9 houses and a forester's farm in Steinförde. In 1849 a major fire broke out in Großmenow. The damage was so great that the buildings were not rebuilt until 1868. In 1875, Baron Heino von Hammerstein took over the Steinförde forest ranger and stayed in the village until 1906. This was followed in 1911 by the forest master Achim von Arenstorff (1897–1926). A memorial stone was erected in his honor in 1927. In 1924 the old bascule bridge over the Steinhavel was replaced by a massive wooden bridge. In 1928, forester von Harling began his service in the chief forestry department, which included the forestry departments Neuhof, Drögen, Schönhorn, Priepert, Pelzkuhl and Strasen, with forests covering over 5,000 hectares. In 1938 the Prussian exclave Großmenow came to Mecklenburg and was subsequently incorporated into Steinförde. Grossmenow was the scene of heavy fighting in the last days of the Second World War .

On July 1, 1950, the municipality of Steinförde was reclassified together with the other places in Fürstenberger Werder from the Mecklenburg district of Neustrelitz to the Brandenburg district of Templin . Since the administrative reform of 1952 , the place belonged to the Gransee district in the Potsdam district . Steinförde has belonged to the state of Brandenburg since the newly formed states in the GDR in 1990 and has been part of the newly formed Oberhavel district since 1993.

Steinförde was incorporated into Fürstenberg / Havel on October 26, 2003. The Fürstenberg office , to which Steinförde belonged, was dissolved.
