history

In the Middle Ages, Ahrensberg was part of the Havelberg diocese . The Counts of Lindow probably built a castle here instead of a Slavic fortress. Their earth walls can still be seen today. In 1988 oak piles from 1290 came to light during work, which were probably part of a castle tower. In the course of the Templin Peace of 1317, the castles in Ahrensberg, Canow and Strasen were destroyed.

1328 were Otto and Ulrich von Dewitz  - the educators and consultants of the Mecklenburg princes Henry II. For their services with "Hus and village" Strelitz and the small country Ahrensberg invested .

Heinrich II died in 1329. His sons Albrecht II and Johann zu Mecklenburg now shared rulership in Mecklenburg. The Stargard lordship was given to the two princes as a fief by the Brandenburg margrave Ludwig . The feudal dependence on the Brandenburg margraves ended in 1347 with the elevation of the Stargard rule to an imperial fiefdom by the Roman-German king and later Emperor Charles IV and the award to the Mecklenburg princes.

In 1348 the county of Fürstenberg was founded and Otto and Ulrich von Dewitz were enfeoffed by the dukes Albrecht and Johann. As followers of the Mecklenburg princes, they were raised to counts by Emperor Charles IV . On January 2, 1349, the Mecklenburg princes gave the Dewitz brothers - now Counts of Fürstenberg - "husz vnnde city" of Ahrensberg as a fief. It remained in the possession of the von Dewitz family until 1449. In 1856 Ahrensberg was sold to the Voss family , who also had the mausoleum built on the cemetery.

In 1934 Ahrensberg was incorporated into Wesenberg. The last owner of Ahrensberg was Hugo Hoffmann, who was expropriated in 1945 as part of the land reform .
