History

Early settlements

It is proven that on the territory of Charlottenburg there have been three settlements in the late middle ages: the courtyards Lietzow (pronounced leat-tso) and Casow (pr. caaso) and a settling called Glienicke (pr. gleanicke). Even though these names are of Slavic origin, the settlements are likely to have comprised of a mixed Slavic-German population at that time.

Lietzow (aka Lietze, Lutze(n), Lütze, Lützow, Lusze and Lucene) is first documentary mentioned in 1239, and was located in the are of today's Alt-Lietzow street at the back side of the town-hall of Charlottenburg. Casow lay opposite to Lietzow on the other side of the Spree. In 1315 Lietzow and Casow are made property of the nunnery St. Marien in Spandau. As a result, it is possible that Lietzow was expanded to a village. In the course of the reformation, the nunnery was closed. While the area of Lietzow has continuously been populated, Casow and Glienicke were abandoned. As a result of old field names it is assumed that Glienicke lay in the area of today's streets Kantstraße, Fasanenstraße, Kurfürstendamm (more commonly known as Ku'damm) and Uhlandstraße as well as the now desiccated lake Gliniker Lake. // Events Births June 17 - King Edward I of England (died 1307) December 17 - Kujo Yoritsugu, Japanese shogun (died 1256) Peter III of Aragon (died 1285) John II, Duke of Brittany (died 1305) Ippen, Japanese monk (died 1289) Deaths March 3 - Vladimir III Rurikovich, Grand Prince of Kiev (born 1187) March...

The development of Lietzow is documented well. For more than 400 years members of the Berendt family were mayors and thus had to pay lower taxes. Ecclestiastically, Lietzow was covered by the pastor of Wilmersdorf who went there by the so-called 'Priesterweg' (priest way), today the streets Leibnizstraße, Konstanzer Straße and Brandenburgische Straße.

But in the late 18th century, Charlottenburg's development was not only depending on the monarchs. The town, built on barely fertile grounds, soon became a recreational area of the uprising city of Berlin.
