geography
The place Warnitz with the suburbs Grünheide, Melzow, Trumpf, Neuhof and Quast lies in the biosphere reserve Schorfheide-Chorin (landscape protection area - zone III).
In the village and in the immediate vicinity there are a number of smaller lakes , which were formed as remnants of residual ice from the Vistula Ice Age . The many boulders that can be found in the vicinity of the place also date from this time .
To the north is the district town of Prenzlau at a distance of about 18 km. The federal capital Berlin is around 80 km to the south.
history
The Sundewit Warnaes is a reminder of the Warnen tribe who lived there. Warnitz is the first time as Warsize in a letter of protection from Dukes Otto I and Barnim III. named by Pomerania for the Seehausen monastery , which was exhibited in Stettin on September 1, 1332.
In 1375 Warsitz appeared in the Landbuch Kaiser Karl IV. And had almost only Slavic inhabitants.
In 1539 Warnitz came to the Gramzow-Seehausen monastery office. The original village was grouped around the field stone church , which was provided with a western tower in 1738, and the one-class village school.
From the 1960s, Warnitz became the dominant holiday resort on the Oberuckersee , with the camping site still existing today, which is located directly on the lake. In the school, built in 1960, children from the surrounding communities are also taught today.
On January 1, 1970, the previously independent communities of Grünheide and Melzow were incorporated into Warnitz.
