Linum is a village of the municipality Fehrbellin in the Ostprignitz-Ruppin district of Brandenburg, Germany. It is sometimes called the "stork village" (Storchendorf) of Linum.
Incorporation
Linum is first mentioned in 1294 as part of the Diocese of Havelberg. It is on the Berlin-Wilsnack Pilgrimage Route, which began at the end of the 14th century.
Linum was previously a peat mining town, and during this time, had as many as 2,500 residents. Peat was shipped to Berlin from the port via the Amtmann's canal aboard barges through several shipping companies.
Linum was incorporated into Fehrbellin in 2003.[1]
