history

The Karlsburger Schloss - central wing

Rose gate to the castle area

Karlsburg

Karlsburg was first mentioned in a document in 1300 as Gnatzkow . Since the place was renamed from Gnatzkow to Karlsburg much later, this entry also applies to the name Karlsburg as the first documentary mention. The original Slavic name means something like 'to drive' or 'to hunt'.

At the beginning the Gnatzkow estate belonged to different families, such as the Horn, Schwobe, Buckow and Normann. The heiress Maria Lucretia von Normann married Christoph von Bohlen in 1679. As a result, the von Bohlen family came into possession of the property, they belonged to the ancient nobility of the island of Rügen. This family was named count in 1745.

After a fire, Karlsburg Castle was rebuilt in 1732. Stylistically it is counted as part of the high baroque style of the Pomeranian manor house. However, it was never fully completed, the western wing is missing.

The place was renamed in 1771 from Gnatzkow to Carlsburg - later Karlsburg, during the visit of the Swedish King Gustav III. in honor of the owner Carl Julius Bernhard Reichsgraf von Bohlen (1738–1813) after his first name.

The last heiress of this West Pomeranian line, Countess Karoline von Bohlen (1798–1858) married Theodor von Bismarck in 1817 . According to the will, the name and coat of arms of the Counts of Bohlen passed to Theodor von Bismarck through this marriage, who then founded the Bismarck-Bohlen line . In 1818 the family was appointed Prussian counts. When Countess Karoline died in 1858, Theodor von Bismarck-Bohlen had the burial chapel built in Steinfurth , in which the family coffins still stand today.

From 1817 until the end of the Second World War , the estate and the castle belonged to the von Bismarck-Bohlen family.

In 1947 a home for people with diabetes was set up in the castle . From this the Central Institute for Diabetes Gerhardt Katsch developed .

Even after 1990, Karlsburg remained an important medical center, especially for cardiovascular diseases, as the location of the Karlsburg Clinic that was created from the Central Institute .

Karlsburg had 811 residents including Carolinenhof on December 31, 2014 with a main residence and 78 with a secondary residence, on December 31, 2015 823 residents with a main residence and 74 with a secondary residence.

Moeckow

Moeckow was first mentioned in 1447 as "Mogekow". The name is not interpreted.

It was an estate, which means that the chivalrous privileges were revoked. Moeckow was owned by the Nepzin estate for a long time. The following are documented as owners: 1514 family Barfft (also called Barfuß), then until 1570 von Horn, 1570 to 1603 Rolof von Owstin, 1603 to 1628 Christoph Nienkerken auf Ramitzow. Then there is a gap until 1829, when King Friedrich Wilhelm III. gave the CE Niemann as owner the state parliament eligibility. In 1832 Lieutenant Colonel von Mühlenfels owned the estate until 1844, when he sold it to Guthknecht, who was deprived of the quality of the manor. Then Laug (Wrangelsburg) owned the estate until 1865. He sold it to Lagemann in 1865, whose family was probably the owner of Moeckow until 1945, according to the tombs in the churchyard in Zarnekow.

Moeckow had 176 inhabitants in 32 families with the Moeckow-Berg residential area in 1865. The following buildings were available: 1 public building (post office with jug), 13 residential and 16 farm buildings, as well as 1 factory (probably a distillery).

Moeckow, including Moeckow-Berg, had 181 residents with main residence and 3 with secondary residence on December 31, 2014, and 184 residents with main residence and 3 with secondary residence on December 31, 2015.

Moeckow-Berg (living space)

Moeckow-Berg was first named as Möckowberg in 1928 . This district was created around 1835 during the construction of the Steinbahn Anklam - Greifswald (B 109) with the junction to Wolgast, when a road house and an inn were built there. The connection to Züssow and on to Gützkow (B 111) to the Steinbahn Greifswald - Altentreptow (B 96) was not established until around 1850. Until the construction of the railway line in Züssow, there was an important post station here (stagecoaches - changing horses). In modern times, the high mast of the Züssow transmitter was built . Up until the 1970s there was a high wooden tower as a geodetic measuring point. The Chausseehaus is currently the residential building and station of the road service (as of 2018) and the jug, which has been closed for a long time, is an eco-farm with a farm shop. To the northeast of the district is a large salt dome, which was geodetically investigated to see whether an underground storage facility for natural gas could be created there.

Steinfurth

Steinfurt church ruins with burial chapel of the von Bismarck Bohlen family

Steinfurth was first mentioned in a document as Stenvorde in 1405. Steinfurth is an early German foundation, the name is derived from the many boulders and boulders that occur en masse in the area. They were often laid out as stone bars - low, loose dry stone walls, mostly as a boundary for old cattle paddocks. They can still be seen today, although they are often overgrown with hedges and rows of trees. The part of the name Furth cannot be explained, because there are only insignificant trenches in the area.

In the village there is a church ruin as a ground monument of the Middle Ages. The church ruins were mentioned in a document in 1492 as the existing church of the Parochie Steenvort .

Steinfurth was a manor that was permanently connected to the Karlsburger estate of Count Bismarck-Bohlen . In 1858 Theodor von Bismarck Bohlen had a grave chapel built in Steinfurth next to the old church ruin for his wife Caroline, who died in Venice , where she was buried on July 24, 1859. The family coffins are in the crypt cellar; this is unusual in the area, because in 1945 the occupation troops of the Red Army otherwise "emptied" the coffins contained there and used them to repatriate their fallen officers. To the east of the chapel is the previous burial site of the Bismarck-Bohlen family, also with the burial sites of some long-term servants. The single-storey, 12-axis manor house of the inspector (administrator) dates from 1911.

In 2009 there was a new find on the OPAL gas pipeline , around 40 almost completely preserved urns from the Neolithic and also settlement finds. These Neolithic finds are overlaid by Imperial to Slavic finds, which prove the continuous settlement of the village area.

The culture house of Steinfurth was built in 1955 by the farmers of the local LPG (agricultural production cooperative) and served as a meeting point. This function was only lost with the fall of the Berlin Wall and its brief use as a refugee home. After moving out, the house stood and was sold, but an initial renovation by private individuals also failed. In 2011 the artist couple Elisa and Mathias Bartoszewski bought the building.

The nearby hall of the former MTS , built in 1963, serves as an art hall and as a theater or concert hall.

Steinfurth is the winner of the “Stars in the Village” competition in 2018 and receives the venue award of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Festival sponsored by Nordkurier .

Steinfurth was incorporated on July 1, 1950.

In 1865 the place had 81 inhabitants in 15 families. The following buildings were present: 1 church (chapel), 7 residential and 11 farm buildings.

In 2015 Steinfurth had 151 residents with a main residence and 11 with a secondary residence.

Zarnekow

Church yard and church Zarnekow

Zarnekow was first mentioned in 1415 as Sarnekow . In Slavic usage, the name means something like black or unhappy .

Zarnekow was a farming and Büdnerdorf, as well as a church and parish. Therefore, at least until 1865, no owners are named, only a few lands belong to the parish of the village, three farms belonged to the St. Petri Church in Wolgast.

Zarnekow was incorporated on July 1, 1950.

Zarnekow had 107 inhabitants in 19 families in 1865. The following buildings were present: 1 church, 1 school, 12 residential and 20 farm buildings.

On December 31, 2015, Zarnekow had 117 residents with a main residence and 3 with a secondary residence.

Carolinenhof, Karlsburger Meierei (work place)

Karolinenhof was first mentioned in municipal registers in 1957. It was recorded as "Karlsburger Meierei" but already in the MTB 1880 and even later in the MTB 1920 as a Vorwerk to the Karlsburger Gut.

The former Vorwerk is currently connected to Karlsburg by residential developments after 1945 and later also by the complex.

Krankhorst (desert)

Krankhorst was first mentioned as such in 1782. It was north-east of Karlsburg but is not mentioned again after it was first mentioned, only a field name on property maps reminds of it.

Pretschow (desert)

Pretschow was first mentioned as Pretzkow in 1485. The name does not indicate the Slavic foundation. The place was mentioned for the last time in 1782, after which it was probably desolate. The location is not exactly localized, but a field name from the PUM (Preuss. Urmes Tischblatt 1835) points to the place south of Karlsburg near the B 109. Now there are extensive wooded areas of Karlsburger wood.

Hogenmöhle (desert)

Hogenmöhle was mentioned in documents in 1585 and 1618. It cannot be precisely located, but is given between Brüssow and Moeckow. There was an archaeologically proven Slavic settlement slightly northeast of the highest point in the whole area (54.8 m above HNN). The name Hogenmöhle means in Low German usage - high mill. In GDR times, a high wooden tower stood on this point as a trigonometric point. It collapsed in the 1980s (wood was rotten). In ancient times a windmill was often located on such points; it is recorded on the Swedish registry card from 1694 on the border with Wrangelsburg. So the local situation is to be assumed there.

politics

Coat of arms, flag, official seal

The municipality has no officially approved national emblem, neither a coat of arms nor a flag . The official seal is the small state seal with the coat of arms of the region of Western Pomerania . It shows an upright griffin with a raised tail and the inscription "GEMEINDE KARLSBURG * LANDKREIS VORPOMMERN-GREIFSWALD".

Coat of arms of the district of Karlsburg

Blazon : “A curved red tip in silver, topped with an open silver stepped gable made of five stones, from which a gold-tongued and reinforced silver griffin grows; in front a red staff of Asclepius; behind a red ear. " The coat of arms was designed according to the ideas of Udo Glathe from Quedlinburg and Peter Heinke from Karlsburg . It was accepted by the municipal council on March 14, 1985 and registered under the number 35 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms is intended to remember the last owners of Karlsburg before 1945 with the griffin growing from the stepped gable, which was borrowed from the coat of arms of the Count von Bismarck-Bohlen family with a change in the tinging. While the Aesculapian staff stands for the well-known diabetic sanatorium, the ear indicates the dominant role of agriculture in the place.

Flag of the district of Karlsburg

The flag is evenly striped lengthways in red and white. In the middle of the flag, two thirds of the height of the red and white stripes, is the municipal coat of arms. The length of the flag is related to the height as 5: 3.

Economy and Transport

Companies

The most important employer in the whole area is the Karlsburg Clinic, which specializes in diabetes and vascular surgery. This facility was constantly expanded and modernized.

The OPAL gas pipeline, coming from Wrangelsburg at Moeckow-Berg and Steinfurth, runs through the northern district further south. The Oldenburg energy supply company EWE AG used elaborate methods to check whether the salt dome northeast of the Karlsburg district of Moeckow or Moeckow-Berg is suitable as a natural gas storage facility . The measurements had a positive result. Natural gas pumped via the Baltic Sea pipeline or its OPAL branch will then be stored in this. It has not yet been implemented.

Otherwise, the community is essentially characterized by agriculture. Due to the large forest areas mentioned, forestry is also strongly represented.

The larger companies (clinic, agriculture, etc.) brought about the settlement of further trading, supplier, service and commercial operations.

traffic

The B 109 and the B 111 run through the community and cross at the Moeckow-Berg district. Karlsburg has a stop on the Züssow – Wolgast Hafen railway line .
