Various sources say that Neolithic settlements can be found in the area of today's town. It must be due to the beautiful location, because the Slavs have also settled here since the 6th century AD. The town of Lychen was founded in 1248 by Margrave Johann I. Over the next 200 years, the Mecklenburgers and Brandenburgers could not agree on where Lychen should belong. It was not until 1448 that it finally came to Brandenburg. Even if you don't suspect it, Lychen is still a border region today. The border with Mecklenburg-Vorpommern runs not far from the city. In the contested 200 years, the Lychen people built a city wall and the beautiful, still originally preserved church of St. John as a fortified church. The plague, cholera, wars and other scourges of humanity swept over the city. In 1644, of 224 houses, only 17 were inhabited with a total of 29 people (today's population: 3100). Lychen experienced its first upswing after the construction of the road from Templin to Fürstenberg in 1891 and the connection to the railway network in 1899. It is absolutely worth mentioning that Lychen has been century until the middle of the 20th century was a transshipment point for the timber industry. You could say that Berlin and the port of Hamburg were built with wood from Lychen (not exclusively, of course). The wood from the extensive forests was brought to Lake Oberpfuhl and from there floated into the city lake, which has a connection to the Havel. In 2008, Lychen was awarded the title of Flößerstadt. The city of Lychen achieved "world fame" through the watchmaker Johann Kirsten, who invented the pin or thumbtack around 1902. The city of Lychen took this as an opportunity to write its tourist information, which is distributed in all memorable places of the city, on oversized “pins”. To care for children with lung disease from Berlin, Prof. Dr. Gotthold Pannwitz founded the sanatoriums of the German Red Cross in Hohenlychen in 1902. He led them to such fame that Lychen also benefited from it in tourism. Unfortunately, the sanatoriums, which had been founded with the best of intentions, were first converted into the Reich Labor and Sports Sanatorium and later into the SS Hospital during the Nazi era. From 1945 to 1993, the Soviet occupation forces also used the hospital as a military hospital. For several years now, the beautiful large villas have been gradually renovated and converted into apartments and holiday apartments. In addition to the heyday of the timber trade and rafting, the sanatoriums led Lychen to a tourist boom. As I read with astonishment, almost 50,000 people came to Lychen for recreation at Pentecost in 1910. These are numbers that have yet to be reached again (... well, we are working on it).
