Angermünde (German pronunciation: [aŋɐˈmʏndə] ⓘ) is a town in the district of Uckermark in the state of Brandenburg, Germany. It is about 43 miles (69 km) northeast of Berlin, the capital of Germany.

The population is about 14,000, but has been declining since its traditional industrial base, enamel-working, has declined. An administrative sub-centre of its district, it has several Protestant churches, a former Franciscan church, a number of schools of higher learning and a recently refurbished historic marketplace with an old town hall. Located in the game-filled forests of the Uckermark, with its many lakes, it now relies heavily on tourism and the sources of revenue linked to it.

Since 2010, Angermünde is a federally declared resort town.[3]

Name

[edit]

The name Angermünde is an abbreviation of the older town of Tangermünde, for a while the town was named New-Tangermünde (Neu-Tangermünde), until it was changed to "Angermünde", with Anger being German for a central square in a town.

History

[edit]

The town was the site of a 1420 victory of Frederick I of Brandenburg over the Pomeranians.[6]

From 1815 to 1947, Angermünde was part of the Prussian Province of Brandenburg. In the 19th century, the town was the seat of a Prussian circle in the Province of Brandenburg and linked to Berlin by the Berlin–Stettin (now Szczecin, Poland) railway.[7] Angermünde station then served as the junction for branch lines servicing Prenzlau, Bad Freienwalde, and Schwedt.[6]

From 1947 to 1952, Angermünde was part of the State of Brandenburg, from 1952 to 1990 of the Bezirk Frankfurt of East Germany and since 1990 again of Brandenburg.
