About Lindow
Lindow is a small town with 3,000 inhabitants in north-western Brandenburg, beautifully situated between three lakes and surrounded by forests. Lindow is halfway between Berlin and Hamburg, though not directly on the route.
Not least because of its location, Lindow is also a place for tourists, with most being day-trippers either traveling from Berlin or holidaying in the area. Some Berliners and Hamburgers also have weekend homes in Lindow or the surrounding area. Lindow was already a resort in GDR times.
The Salus Clinic, which specializes in addiction therapy and is located a little outside the town, also contributes to tourism in the city.
Facts & Figures
In 2020, the average age in Lindow was 50, with the 55-64 age group being the strongest at just under 20%.
In the townscape, it is noticeable that many buildings are vacant, including historic buildings. Ownership is often difficult to ascertain, but it is generally believed that many of these buildings have been sold to people outside the town.
Lindow is also home to the ruins of a Cistercian nunnery described by Theodor Fontane in his “Wanderungen durch die Mark Brandenburg” (Walks through the Mark of Brandenburg), which was the model for the “Wutz Monastery” in his novel “Der Stechlin”.
