history

Bellin village church , state 2009

Those who call themselves de Bellin are of Wendish origin, were vassals of the old Wendish princely family and belonged to the inner circle of leaders of the Princes of Werle - Wenden . These were based in neighboring Güstrow , a little to the north . The Mecklenburg Bellin have no genealogical connection with the families of the same name in Brandenburg .

Around 1200 Bernhard de Bellyn was named, who is said to have built the German settlement village Reimershagen . From 1228 to 1234 Johannes de Bellin is mentioned several times in the entourage of the Princes of Werle. He was married to the daughter of Otto de Cowole (Kogel) and is believed to have built the village church in Bellin around 1230. Under his son, the knight Johannes, Groß and Klein Breesen are said to have originated in 1266, who came to Dobbertin monastery in 1390 . His sons Johannes (1273-1311) and Bernhard (1274-1313) received on March 31, 1303 by Nicolaus Werle-Parchim the low and high court with Beden for Bellin , Reimershagen, Jellen , Suckwitz , Groß and Klein Breesen , Kirch and Rum Kogel and the Kogelsche Mühle.

Johannes, on Bellin from 1326 to 1386, was an advocate in 1335, a knight and steward of Güstrow in 1337 and, from 1347, royal councilor of Werle with his own seal. He bequeathed Chim von Linstow a share in Bellin. His son Berend was married from 1339 to 1376 on Bellin and with Ermgard von Weltzien on Sammit. After 1376 the extensive property of Jellen fell to the Dobbertin monastery. Her son Berend married Alheid von Dotenberg from the bailiwick of Laage in 1425 and had three daughters Benedicta, Ermgard and Margarete. Ermgard married Gerd von Linstow on Lalendorf in 1448 .

The certificate, issued in Ivenack in 1449 on parchment in lowercase letters, was found in the church of Groß Poserin near Goldberg . The two ducal seals that had been attached and the ribbon seals were no longer there. The content reads: Heinrich d. Ä. and Heinrich d. J., Duke of Mecklenburg confer on Gerd v. Linstow has all the property in Bellin that has been brought to him by his wife, Bernd Bellin's posthumous daughter, and they also give him as a hereditary fief everything that has already died to him on farms and hooves from the Bellines or may still fall home. Ivanack 1449.

Thereby it was documented that the von Bellin family had died out in the male line between 1430 and 1449.

Bernhard Latomus wrote the following about the von Bellin family in Mecklenburg at this time: Diesz is one of the oldest families of this principality and has lived in large amounts for four and a half hundred years, which the von Werle family used for their advice and witnesses in many cities with given privileges . Their inheritance was Sukevitz, which the Grabowen now have, and Bellins, which Gert Linstow, who married his Bellin's daughter, brought with his family and obtained princely consensus and gracious lending on it, and this family died out for 180 years.

Possessions

The Bellin possessions is also the name for the wooded landscape between Güstrow, Krakow am See and Dobbertin . In 1303, Bellin and the villages of Groß and Klein Breesen, Reimershagen, Suckwitz, Kirch and Rum Kogel and Jellen belonged to the documented core ownership of Bellin. The other temporary possessions included Badendiek, Bölkow and Kirch Rosin in the north. These had been in the previous possession of the collegiate monastery, the Güstrow Cathedral , since 1226 . In the south it was Lohmen and Oldenstorf and other places that later came to the Dobbertin monastery. To the east, Little Ticino, Old and New Sammit with the Grüner Jäger and south of Woosten were temporarily owned.

The Wendish Bellin not only built German farming villages, they also surrounded their property with knight seats and castles, as happened in Bellin. But after 1250 the Bellin gave many properties directly to the Dobbertin monastery, such as Jellen, Groß and Klein Breesen and also Kirch and Rum Kogel. The property decreased rapidly and in the end consisted only of a part in Bellin, Breesen, Reimershagen and Kogel.

Noble family Bellin outside Mecklenburg

In addition to Mecklenburg, there are said to have been one noble family with this name in Pomerania and four in Brandenburg. They did not appear until late and became extinct in the male line. In the Uckermark in Pomerania, a family of Bellins flourished in the 13th century, about whom nothing more is known. Of the Brandenburgers, the best known are Bellin, who sat on Carwese, Lentzke and Markau . They went out with Christoph von Bellin on Lentzke in 1751. Those who sat on Fehrbellin , Radesleben near Ruppin and Linum died out in 1643.

On the shield seal of the coat of arms , a red, forward-facing ram's head can be seen on the silver background. The crest is not known. The oldest known seal of this family is preserved on October 1, 1337 dated mortgage note of the squire Nicolaus v. Bülow auf Zibühl, whose guarantor was Johannes Bellyn ; and a second copy of this seal has been preserved in a document kept in the monastery archive in Dobbertin, which Princes Nicolaus and Bernhard von Werle issued on August 25, 1342 in Güstrow.

The ram's head is also found in the current coat of arms of the municipality of Bellin and can be seen as a coat of arms in the belt of the separating arch between the apse and the choir in the village church of Bellin .
