Tips
Margrave Johann I founded the city in 1248. It was given a six-meter high city wall and three gate towers, only a few of which have survived in Fürstenberger and Stargarder Tor. In 1302 the city fell to Mecklenburg. 150 years later, Margrave Johann von Brandenburg recaptured the city. The Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) and two large fires (1648, 1732) destroyed almost the entire city several times. During the Seven Years' War (1756–1763) Lychen came under Swedish occupation. Parts of today's urban area were owned by the Himmelpfort monastery in the Middle Ages.
