history

Archaeological finds in the immediate vicinity of Zützen indicate the existence of settlements and dwellings since the Stone Age . These include hand axes, a stone flour mill, a stone ax and skeleton graves. When a sewer was built in 1998, a well-preserved clay pot from the Bronze Age was found. A settlement of the area for the period from 700 to 900 is documented with a Slavic hand mill made of granite.

The Uckermark has belonged to Brandenburg since the Landin Treaty of 1250 . Zützen was first mentioned as “Wendish dorppe tzützen bie der Oder” in 1354 in a contract that struck large parts of the Uckermark Pomerania.

The place name, which in the course of time finally changed to Zützen via Tzutzen (1354), Czutzen (1355), Zcuzcenow (1527), Zwzenn (1540), Zeutzenn (1541) and Zuetzen (1578), becomes the Slavic word Sosna (jaw) returned.

1472 to 1479 the ostuckermärkischen areas returned to Brandenburg. Zützen belonged to the Stolpirischen Kreis until 1816 , named after Stolpe , a district of the Uckermark in the Mark Brandenburg and then came to the Angermünde district .

The Schwedt city museum houses the remainder of the Zützen coin find from 1867. The 316 Vinkeugen and 5 Prague groschen date from the 14th and 15th centuries.

The Zützen manor is evidenced by several feudal deeds . It was located south of the village that was laid out as a round village and existed until 1945. Parts of the property with the “castle” are still preserved today.

The community of Zützen emerged in 1928 from the Zützen manor district with the Carlsberg Vorwerk . Around 1900 the estate consisted of 750 hectares of land, about 30 hectares were available to the farmers (information from 1860).

After the incorporation of the previously independent municipality of Zützen on August 1, 2001, one of the four designated residential areas of the city of Schwedt / Oder was created west of the old town center near the former federal highway 2 from Angermünde to Schwedt.
