history

The place names suggest a Slavic origin, but the area was settled as early as the Stone Age. The villages were first mentioned in a document at the end of the 13th century. The area suffered badly from the Thirty Years War when some community villages were devastated. From 1720 to 1815 the Peene was the border river between Prussia and Sweden .

Old Plestlin

Manor house Alt Plestlin

The Plestlin estate goes back to a knightly possession first mentioned in the 13th century. During the 16th and the first half of the 17th centuries it was owned by the noble Suckow family, who also owned Jagetzow. On March 5, 1504, Duke Bogislaw X enfeoffed the brothers Clawes, Ertwann, Thomas, Hermann, Dietrich and Gerth Suckow with the estates of Plestlin and Gawetzow (Jagetzow). On April 14, 1561 Henning Suckow zu Plestlin received the enfeoffment and on January 27, 1602 Dietrich, Claus and Thomas Suckow were enfeoffed. The last owner from the Suckow family was Joachim, who died around 1660. During the Swedish era, the estate came into the possession of Baron von Keffenbrink, who had been raised to the Swedish nobility in 1650 . On November 3, 1652, Queen Christina of Sweden granted Andreas Axelsson Keffenbrink, asessor at the Greifswald court court, the entitlement to the Plestlin fiefdom, which was still owned by Joachim Suckow. In the middle of the 19th century they had the manor house built in Alt Plestlin. After the baronial line died out in 1910, the property was attached to the Fideikommiss of the Counts of Keffenbrink on Griebenow . After the death of Siegfried Graf von Keffenbrink-Griebenow in 1920, the estate came by inheritance to the Barons von Langen, who called themselves von Langen-Keffenbrinck here. Plestlin now belonged to the Olympic champion Carl Freiherr von Langen-Keffenbrink . His horse Hanko from the film "... they ride for Germany" is buried near the castle in Alt Plestlin. In 1945 the last noble owner was Dr. Hans-Wolfgang Freiherr von Langen-Keffenbrinck expropriated.

Zemmin

The district of Zemmin was first mentioned as Summyn on February 14, 1305, when Bishop Heinrich von Cammin Zemmin to the Pomeranian Duke Otto. I. sold.

In the first documentary mention it says:

“In the name of the Lord Amen. Otto by the grace of God, Duke of the Slavs and Cassubes, Lord of Stettin, all for ever. In order that what is being negotiated does not become doubtful, it must be reinforced by constant affirmation. That is why we and our faithful brother, namely Duke Bugislavs and our faithful council, bought the whole country of Germyn (Jarmen) from the venerable Father in Christ, Mr. Heinrich, the Bishop of the Caminic Church and from the chapter of the same church for 3000 Slavic marks of ordinary coin with its borders and the villages mentioned below, namely the little town of Germen (note: Jarmen) itself with all its sheaths and the Slavic village of Doytin (note: Klein Toitin) and the German village of Toytin (note: Groß Toitin), Mossentin (note: Müssenthin = Müssentin near Jarmen), Summyn (note: Zemmin), Bentin (note: Bentzin), Sarntin (note: Zarrenthin), with all divisions, boundaries and usufructs, freedoms, rights and all other that can flow from them, just like the same bishop and have owned the chapter of that land so far, but in such a way that the property of the land remains with them. "

- Pommersches Urkundenbuch, Winter, 1903, Volume 4/1, No. 2206, p. 171
