history
It was first mentioned in a document in 1318 as Antiqua Swertzin in the Roeskilder matriculation . The origin and meaning of the name are not known for certain. The name goes back to the Slavic root swar , swer or svirt and could refer to the area rich in forests and game. However, a meaning in the sense of cricket is also possible .
Later the place was mentioned as Olden Swertzin as a property of the Lords of Putbus . They sell the place to the von Jasmund family. Heinrich von Jasmund auf Sagard sold it in 1455 to the Eldena monastery for 900 marks. The remaining area was pledged by Nikolaus von Putbus around 1468 for 1200 marks, but he reserved a "ransom" for his son-in-law Erasmus Steinweg (Mayor of Stralsund). This redemption (payment of the deposit) seems to have taken place. After that the news was lost as a monastery property.
Several changes of ownership followed, with several Stralsund patricians being the owners. The families Wreen , Heinrich von Jasmund , von Normann and the mayor of Stralsund Erasmus Steenweg are mentioned .
The place was part of the Principality of Rügen until 1326 and then the Duchy of Pomerania .
With the Peace of Westphalia of 1648, Rügen and thus also the place Samtens came under Swedish rule, after the place previously belonged to the Duchy of Pomerania .
In 1695 the Swedes counted eight full farmers when taking up land in Altensia, although there were considerable differences in the size of the land under cultivation. Two kossats, a käther and a cowherd were also mentioned, each with little land. A woman lived on rent. The area has been described as so rich in wolves that keeping sheep is not worthwhile. Beekeeping was also carried out in some farms . At that time there were already small gardens next to the house, in which there were fruit trees, cabbage and hops . For the needs of their own household, fishing was also carried out. Six horses and four cows as well as young cattle were common among the larger farmers. In addition to rye, barley and oats in particular were grown in the fields.
The farmers were obliged to serve all year round with one person on foot opposite the manor Garftitz .
The place flourished under the rule of Moritz Ulrich zu Putbus in the first half of the 18th century. The farms were hereditary and were supported by the rulers in setting up and expanding them. This changed in the second half of the century. In 1772 the village is laid . The big farms were closed. The former hereditary subjects were only small leasehold and service farmers. Instead, a small manor is being built .
In 1804 Altensien had 68 serfs and only nine free residents. In 1843 Altensien was chosen as the location of the school required for the parish of Lancken.
After 1945 a land reform also took place in Altensia . The new farmers became owners of the agricultural land. In 1953 the LPG Solidarity was founded.
- Territory affiliation
In 1815 the place and Western Pomerania came to the Prussian province of Pomerania . From 1818 to 1952 Altensien belonged to the district of Rügen (from 1939 district of Rügen), from 1952 to 1955 to the district of Putbus , from 1956 back to the district of Rügen (from 1990 district), and since 2011 to the district of Vorpommern-Rügen .
On January 1, 1962, Altensien was incorporated into the Ostseebad Sellin.
Buildings
A typical Low German hall house , the so-called Sugar Loaf , and the courtyard shapes of the 19th century have been preserved in Altensia. The place is characterized by the transverse brick or half-timbered houses, which are roofed with reeds, and the bucket-floor barns . The newly built Altensien grist mill has stood next to the riding stables since 2006 .
The Goldbusch stone grave is on the way to Moritzdorf .
