history

Blankenhagen village church

The first documentary mention of Blankenhagen comes from the year 1233. It was made by an episcopal order over the tithe in the parish of Ribnitz.

The church was first mentioned in a document on August 23, 1318 and in the Middle Ages belonged to the Archdeaconate of Rostock. The founder and builder of the church was the noble Moltke family , who also held the patronage . The first mention shows that a Johann Moltke donated a vicarage for the priest Ghodefridus in the church in Blankenhagen. The Moltkes are no longer traceable in Blankenhagen in 1361. As early as the 14th century, the place was probably incorporated into the ducal domanium. In 1421 Duke Albrecht V pledged the place to Rostock's mayor, Katzow. It is not known when it fell back to the sovereign. It is documented that Blankenhagen was pledged in 1670 by Duke Gustav Adolf von Mecklenburg to the widow of Eckhard von der Lühe . This family owned Blankenhagen until 1704 when it was bought back by the duke.

On January 1, 2012, the previously independent community of Mandelshagen was incorporated into Blankenhagen.
