Lenzen is situated near the Elbe, approx. 20 km northwest of Wittenberge. 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. He redeemed the mortgage and "restored the von Quitzows in 1422."
Another Lenzen is an Old Prussian site in (former) East-Prussia near the Baltic Sea.
