history

Located on the border with Mecklenburg village was originally located Hinrichshagen and was fief of the Mecklenburg family of Voss. In 1487 the place came into the possession of the von Maltzahn family . When the manor went bankrupt in the 18th century, Hinrichshagen and Philippshof were bought by Christian Bogislaw von Linden in 1773 . A little later he had the village of Neuenhagen built nearby . As a result, the name Altenhagen increasingly prevailed instead of Hinrichshagen . After the male line of the von Linden family died out , their family affidavit passed to the von Heyden-Linden family in 1785 . At the latest under the von Heyden-Linden family, the fief was converted into hereditary property ( Allod ). 1838 was the separation of the town carried out. Heinrich Berghaus described Altenhagen in his "Landbuch" as a free farming village , but could not indicate when the von Heyden-Linden family sold their property. Around 1865 the village had 163 inhabitants.
