Tips

Lemmi alias Schlumpf

April 22, 2022

The French Reformed village church dates from the middle of the 13th century.
After the 30 Years' War, many Huguenots from France were settled in Groß-Ziethen, who found refuge in many places in Barnim or the Uckermark as so-called religious refugees. In Groß Ziethen and Klein Ziethen, tobacco cultivation was introduced to the region from the 17th century and large quantities of tobacco were grown by the new colonists. Groß Ziethen has a beautiful and well-preserved village green, as well as a stone church, which is a testament to the stone cutting craft.

Beyond the Horizon

September 23, 2024

When visiting Groß-Ziethen, the French Reformed village church from the middle of the 13th century is striking. This fieldstone building testifies to the long history of the place and the craftsmanship of the stone cutters of the time. Surrounded by a well-preserved village green, you can feel the atmosphere of times gone by.

After the Thirty Years' War, many Huguenots from France found a new home in Groß-Ziethen. These religious refugees not only brought their culture with them, but also introduced tobacco cultivation to the region. In doing so, they had a lasting impact on life in Groß- and Klein-Ziethen.

A walk through the village offers insights into the eventful history of the Uckermark. The combination of traditional architecture and rural surroundings makes Groß-Ziethen an interesting destination for anyone interested in culture and history.
