history

As early as the 13th century, the area of ​​today's district belonged to the city of Demmin. In contrast to the city, in which Lübisches law applied, it was judged here in 1284 according to Schwerin law. Here lay Poggenkrug , an inn by the since 1304 preaching friars of Stralsund St. Catherine was operated. In 1322 there was a St. George's Hospital with a St. Jürgen chapel. For a cross that was said to have miraculous properties, a Holy Cross Chapel was built in 1325 or 1326 right next to the St. Jürgen Chapel, which served as a place of pilgrimage.

To secure the important trade route, the Demminers had fortified buildings erected here, which existed until the Thirty Years' War . These included the mentioned only in the 14th century Bull Castle ( Bullenborch ) and also as a roundabout called Holy Cross Castle . At the latter there was a carp pond , the Poggenpuhl , which existed until the 19th century and whose fishing was mentioned in 1589.

The district got its name after the Reformation in the 16th century when the city of Demmin set up a Stotenhof , a stud, here on the Poggenkrug . Demmin's horse breeding was famous within Pomerania . Duke Ernst Ludwig asked several times for horses, which he bought, had given or borrowed. The importance of horse breeding declined significantly during the Thirty Years' War, the occupation of Pomerania by the Swedes and the subsequent wars in the 17th and 18th centuries.

The district remained in Swedish Pomerania in 1720 and, after it came to Prussia as New Western Pomerania in 1815 , existed until 1874 as an independent village of Stutterhof or Stuterhof . Only through a law was Stuterhof reassigned to the city of Demmin.

From 1815 on, houses from Demminer Bürger were built again in the district. At the western end, the Friedrich Schünemannsche Eisengießerei was established around 1840, later known as the "Friedrichshütte", which, in addition to machine parts, also manufactured bells.

Today, in addition to the residential areas, there are several commercial and commercial enterprises in the district.
