Lenzen (Elbe)

Lenzen (Elbe) is a small town in the district of Prignitz, in Brandenburg, Germany.

It was the scene of the Battle of Lenzen, an early victory by the Germans over the Wends in 929.

Frederick, Count of Zollern, confiscated it from the von Quitzow family in 1420 for their part in the uprising of the Wendish nobility, and mortgaged it to Otto von Blumenthal.

Another Lenzen is an Old Prussian site in (former) East-Prussia near the Baltic Sea.
