All Angermünder villages from Alkünkendorf to Zuchenberg
image author: Frank Preuß Altkünkendorf The village was first mentioned in 1287 and is probably the loveliest situated village of Angermünde.
This beautiful spot with roughly 210 citizens lies between the two highest mountains of the area, the Blocksberg (139 metre) and the Telegrafenberg (138 metre). One can reach the place through unique apple tree avenues, which bloom wonderfully in spring and spread in autumn real Adam & Eve flair.
The typical Angerdorf is part of the Biosphärenreservat Schorfheide-Chorin and is also thanks to its many lakes a real nature paradise. One can find here peace and relaxation not only at the recreation area around the Wolletzsee or at the Holy Lake.
Well worth seeing are the Glambecker Mill and the stone church from the 13th century; both can be easily reached by foot. The organ fundamentally restored in 2003 gives clear tones again. In Altkünkendorf's surrounding area important finds from the Stone Age and Bronze Age were made. Creative artists like sculptor Joachim Karbe and the artist couple Annette Tucholke and Christian Bonnet are here at home. Altkünkendorf is since 2001 a district of Angermünde.
image author: Stadtmagazinverlag AS GmbH In Biesenbrow is actually everything different than in other districts of Angermünde.
Hardly any of the 210 Biesenbrower citizens lives in a street. Here one lives at the Hof-Ende, Ziegelei-Ende, Hirten-Ende or any other - end. That is because all roads come from the main road and end somewhere.
While other villages love to be part of Angermünde, the Biesenbrower proceeded with a constitutional complaint against the community area reform.
The village, first mentioned in 1292 and originally planned as a city, became really famous through Ehm Welck's books. The native of Biesenbrow describes in a humorous fashion with many typical details and cosmopolitanism his homeland.

image author: Stadtmagazinverlag AS GmbH Bölkendorf Surrounded by hills and lakes lays the idyllic 140-soul-village north of the Parsteinsee directly at the Krummen See. The village was first mentioned in 1346. Well worth seeing are some well preserved half-timbered houses from the 18th/19th century and the stone church (13th century). The Tiefe See is with 60 metres one of the deepest stretch of waters of the Uckermark. It belonged for a long time to Eberswalde. The Bölkendorfer fought in 1992 for the affiliation to the district Angermünde. In 2003 the community finally became part of Angermünde.
Bölkendorf became talking point also through its bunker facility, which has now been filled in, from the 2nd World War, the find of an open skull from 1940 BC as well as well preserved interesting bronze finds.
image author: Stadtmagazinverlag AS GmbH Bruchhagen The little Winkelangerdorf nestles in rolling hills and is part of the Biosphärenreservat Schorfheide-Chorin.
Mentioned first in 1375 under the name of Bruchove, was Bruchhagen home to only 3 persons in 1638. Little by little the castle owners and farmers came back. Today there are ca 170 citizens who are proud of their stone church from the 13th century (with one of the oldest bells in the area - it stems from the year 1506 and is one of the few surviving bells of the 30Year War) as well as the former estate, built around 1800 with its plastered truss and the half-hipped roof.
image author: Stadtmagazinverlag AS GmbH Crussow The Straßendorf is areawide the biggest village of Angermünde. Part of Crussow is also the pre-fortifications Neuhof and Henriettenhof. Settled on a nearly flat plateau is one part of the village with its 760 citizens, part of the National Park „Unteres Odertal". The village was first mentioned in 1335. The early gothic stone church from the 13th century could be used again after extensive renovation work in 1988. Crussow is parish seat for the different surrounding communities.
Life in the village is determined by the Village Club Crussow, whose members are full of ideas and ready for action. Crussow belongs to Angermünde since 2003.
image author: Stadtmagazinverlag AS GmbH Dobberzin The village is already part of the town Angermünde since 1974 and lies at the eastern part of the Mündesee. When the former Slavic village was founded exactly has not yet been solved. That is why the 270 Dobberziner organised their 750-year celebration in 2004, even though the official age is only 650 years. Enquiries verify that the village must have existed already in 1254. Regarded as first official mention is the year 1354.
Archaeologist made here again and again unique finds from Slavic times and the Middle Ages.
The village church - a stone building from the 13th century - burned down in 1678, it was later rebuilt and has been restored a few years ago. The stonemason family left a memorial to themselves in form of a chessboard stone at the wall of the church's south-west corner.
The fully developed apple avenue from Dobberzin to Pinnow becomes more and more popular with hiker and cyclists.
image author: Stadtmagazinverlag AS GmbH Frauenhagen Over soft rolling landscape north-east of Angermünde one can reach the Straßen-, Anger- and Winkeldorf Frauenhagen, which was first mentioned in 1354 and has been part of Angermünde since 2003.
It liea in the valley of Welse and belongs partly to the Biosphärenreservat Schorfheide-Chorin. Impressive are the lovingly cared for gardens not only those from new residential estate.
The Hackeschen Höfe in Berlin are named after, Earl Hans Christian Friedrich von Hacke (General Lieutenant and Commandant of Berlin), bought the village in 1743. Well worth seeing are the stone church from the 13th century, which was rebuilt until 1916 after it burned down, as well as the preserved facility of the Breitenteicher Mill, a bit outside of Frauenhagen. Here lives also the marionette builder and artist couple Werdin.
Worth mentioning is also the solidarity of the ca 140 citizens, who prepared with lots of creative ideas the 650-year jubilee of their village in June 2004.
image author: Stadtmagazinverlag AS GmbH Gellmersdorf is a little village. The village is formed by the old Nature Reserve Gellmersdorfer Forst. Created at the beginning of 1900, it is today part of the National Park Unteres Odertal.
In 1292 is a certain Jo de Gelmerstorp village mayor of Angermünde. He probably gave the village its name because the village name emerges for the first time in 1316.
The nearly 200 citizens of the Straßen-Angerdorf are especially proud of their famous inhabitant Werner Creutziger. The author and translator lives here since 1987 and celebrated his 75th birthday in March 2004.
The community is part of Angermünde since 2003.
image author: Stadtmagazinverlag AS GmbH Görlsdorf The in 1261 first mentioned village is part of Angermünde since 2003 and lays completely inside the Biosphärenreservat Schorfheide-Chorin. It is surrounded by beautiful nature: Peetzigsee, Großer Plötzsee, Welse-Fließ and fish ponds as well as the Blumberger Mill. The village is also known for its park, which was created in 1829 by Peter-Josef Lenné. The Lenné-Park was retrocede to the community in 1995 and 2001/2002 newly designed after old plans.
The village has to thank the famous noble family von Lynar-Redern for a incredible story :
Alexander von Lynar-Redern buried on the run in 1945 a valuable family treasure, among them 13 crates with Meißner porcelain and a 120-piece silver service of the well-known silversmith Jean-Baptiste Odiot from the 19th century. The treasure could be lifted 50 years later. Only the farm house exists from the former stately terrain. Görlsdorf has also made a name for itself as horse breeding stronghold. The thoroughbred stud opened 1958 in Hoppegarten their own racing stable.
Even though only ca 180 citizens live here, Görlsdorf is areawise with 1357 hectare a relatively big village.
image author: Stadtmagazinverlag AS GmbH Greiffenberg The place has 710 citizens and is a town in a town. Because since its founding in 1261 Greiffenberg was granted the charter of a city, which it was able to keep despite the affiliation to Angermünde in 2003. Here is one of the best preserved castle ruins of the Uckermark - the Greiffenburg. The particularity: the castle is geographical located in Greiffenberg, but belongs to the neighbouring Günterberg. The town was famous from the beginning of the 18th century to mid 20th century for its Greiffenberger tableware. The Stettiner pattern is now being used again by a potter in Anklam.
Well worth mentioning is also the Schulstern look-out. Inaugurated in 1965 and still in use today. Greiffenberg has in addition a big show garden with several rare plants, which is being run by the Vern e.V..
image author: Stadtmagazinverlag AS GmbH Günterberg is also one of the bigger villages of Angermünde. First mentioned in 1306 has it now 350 people. They are very proud of the Greiffenburg.
The Kulturstammtisch (culture regulars' table), which takes place regularly at the village hall organises here for instance choir meetings and castle festival and does also a lot of other activities for the village.
Something special is the Jewish graveyard at the B198 direction Gramzow. It was built in the year 1809 when the Jewish graveyard of Angermünde got too small. Only 20 deceased were buried at the Günterberger Jewish graveyard and never enclosed because the graveyard of Angermünde was extended shortly afterwards.
image author: Stadtmagazinverlag AS GmbH The Straßen-Angerdorf Herzsprung lies idyllically directly at the Parsteinsee and was first mentioned in 1281. The village with its ca 280 citizens is part of Angermünde since 2003.
In the surrounding of the farming village archaeologists made a special rare find: the discovered burial ground from the Bronze Age.
The village church stems probably from the 13th century. Its stone churchyard wall was extensively rebuilt in 1998.
image author: Stadtmagazinverlag AS GmbH Kerkow is Angermünde's wealthiest village. In its long history it was never awarded a grant. The 470-citizens-village is situated north of Angermünde and some parts belong to the Biosphärenreservat SchorfheideChorin.
It is part of Angermünde since 2003. Ten years ago the Agriculture to touch and try out including Angus-Cattle- Breeding moved into the old estate of the family von Lynar-Redern of Görlsdorf.
At the industrial area Angermünde's biggest company can be found: a redevelopment company that has an excellent standing from Angermünde to Eberswalde. But especially outstanding is the village church. The early gothic stone building from 1237 (a wood examination proofs definitely this date) is one of the oldest churches in the Uckermark.
image author: Stadtmagazinverlag AS GmbH Mürow Northeast of Angermünde lies the in 1354 first mentioned Angerdorf in soft rolling countryside that is used mostly for agricultural purposes. The population of 390 is since 2002 part of the town Angermünde. Worth mentioning is the dart club with its 22 members. In Mürow is also the most southern chambered tomb of the former DDR.

The typical farming village, first mentioned in 1354, was also knight's seat.
Trains stopped at the Neukünkendorf railway station until 1995 on the stretch from Angermünde - Bad Freienwalde.
One can call the latest find of well preserved remnants of a doll from the Ice Age sensational. (600BC).
A sacrificial vessel and small valuable copper figures were also found.
image author: Stadtmagazinverlag AS GmbH Schmargendorf Also at the south of Angermünde situated village is agriculture important. But the 300-citizens-village, which was first mentioned in 1287, has a lot more to offer. Ancestors of Marlene Dietrich stem from Schmargendorf. Her father Louis Dietrich was born in Angermünde, his father Marlene's grandfather stemmed from Schmargendorf and had a little hotel there.
The old forge is today museum, the old vicarage community centre with archive and local museum. Since 2003 is Schmargendorf part of Angermünde. The village has thanks to the active Landverein a diverse attractive village life.

The Angerdorf, first mentioned in 1319, belongs to the Biosphärenreservat Schorfheide-Chorin and was home of the family von der Hagen. Joachim Otto von der Hagen worked in the 18th century as professor for old German language and literature at the Humboldt-University Berlin.

image author: Stadtmagazinverlag AS GmbH As the name already says: in Steinhöfel and surrounding area are plenty of stones! Small and big once, medium sized and colossal erratic blocks. Legacies of the Ice Age who deposited the stones at the end moraine.
A forest near Steinhöfel is called Steinknacker because of the many chunks that are around.
The 220 population of the Angerdorf lies northwest of Angermünde in a wonderful rolling, densely wooded countryside inside the Biosphärenreservat Schorfheide-Chorin. Nearby Laagensee, Schönebergsee, Warnitzsee and Kiensee are ideal to enjoy nature. The village church was built already around 1220 a long time before the village was first mentioned in the year 1375. Since 2003 is Steinhöfel part of Angermünde.
image author: Stadtmagazinverlag AS GmbH Stolpe town, townlet or just a bigger village? It doesn't matter, the place inside the National Park "Unteres Odertal" has so many great features, uniqueness and beauties that one can do well without such hair-splitting.
Stolpe was first mentioned in 1251 and got its charter of a city already in 1286.
The village was stricken with several fire catastrophes in village, church and palace.
The palace built around 1550 was rebuilt after a fire in 1917; but only a tiny bit of original substance could be preserved. The landmark of the village the Grützpott, is part of the well preserved remnants of the former castle that stems from the beginning of the 13th century. The tower with Germany's thickest walls (18 metre diameter, the lower wall strength is five metres) is being redeveloped since 2002. Probably no other village like the 380-population-village had a church for such a short time. The church built in 1858 had to be pulled down in 1935 because the church was sliding down the hill. There has been no church in Stolpe since then.
Plans by Peter-Josef Lenné are the basis of the in 1850 created palace park in Stolpe. The village's most famous son is without doubt Christian Leopold von Buch, co-founder of the Deutschen Geologischen Gesellschaft and close friend of Alexander von Humboldt.
Stolpe is part of Angermünde since 2003 and carries the title "National Park-Community" since 2001.
image author: Stadtmagazinverlag AS GmbH Welsow lies at the southern fringe of the Welse Valley safeguarded by the 96 metre high Töpferberg.
During the past centuries enormous amounts of clay were mined here. The Greiffenberger won the mining rights already in the 16th century from the elector. During the inquisition was the little village regarded as one of the heretic villages.
Today the population of 130 loves to live here. The village was first mentioned in 1267.
Since 2003 is Welsow part of Angermünde.
image author: Stadtmagazinverlag AS GmbH Wilmersdorf was first mentioned in 1321. It's original village form is not anymore discernible. The protestant village church is also more or less a makeshift solution.
The church was put in 1936 into a half-timbered barn when the 1473 built church was destroyed and never rebuilt. North-west of Angermünde situated in soft rolling countryside is the village completely part of the Biosphärenreservat Schorfheide - Chorin.
The population of 260 is a very active village community. One the few preserved half-timbered houses in the area was privately restored and belongs to a descendent of the famous Leopold von Buch. Wilmersdorf is part of Angermünde since 2003.
image author: Stadtmagazinverlag AS GmbH Wolletz Quietness, picturesque surrounding, and a rolling wooded romantic countryside that is ideal for walks - that is the village Wolletz. It was first mentioned in 1375 and is situated inside the Biosphärenreservat Schorfheide-Chorin. No wonder then that Stasi-Minister Mielke pocketed the former hunting lodge at the banks of the Wolletzsee for his recreation purposes. 25.000 patients were able to recover at the new Rehaklinik at the former palace since 1994. Inviting walking paths that are popular with gusts and locals alike were created in addition to the sports ground, children's playground and swimming point at the Wolletzsee.
Wolletz is part of Angermünde since 2003.
image author: Stadtmagazinverlag AS GmbH Zuchenberg The youngest village of Angermünde has also the least inhabitants. It was founded in 1841 after the deforestation of the town forest and has today 90 citizens. They decided in the 2003 in the framework of the community area reform to take the status of a village and are now part of Angermünde.
From its short history the inauguration of the school house in the year 1912 is worth mentioning and the fact that the village belonged to Angermünde already in 1931 and 1939 as town commodity.
image author: Stadtmagazinverlag AS GmbH Angermünde Nobody knows for sure - still the town celebrated its 771st birthday in 2004. It is assumed that Angermünde was bestowed with the charter of the city around 1233. The village was originally one of the border defenses, which were built by the eastwards exerting Brandenburger people against Pomerania.
The town gained wealth later through grain trade and pretty houses were built. Distinctive is the wonderful redeveloped market place with the neo-baroque town hall and it classicism facade from 1828. A gem is the fountain created by Christian Uhlig right next to the wooden donkey pillory by Karl Rätsch. Just around the corner in a little pretty house, the former Alte Wache, is the tourist information.
Well worth seeing is also the Marien-Church from the 13th century with Wagner organ, the Franciscan monastery church, which is regarded as the origin of Märkisch redbrick gothic, the remnants of the city-wall and the gothic Holy-Ghost-Chapel from the middle of the 14th century. When you visit the town don't miss the Ehm-Welk Museum, the zoo, by the way the only one in the Uckermark and the art-mile at the Mündesee as well as the NABU Experience Centre Blumberger Mill.
