history

The place Brandshagen was first mentioned on May 17th, 1249. At that time the village was still called Borantenhaghen . The place was named after Borante , a descendant of the Rügen princes with their sideline from Putbus (island of Rügen). In the deed, Duke Barnim I confirmed to Rügen Prince Jaromar II the ownership rights of the named Borante von Borantenhaghen to Brandshagen. In the early German period (1200 to 1350), Borante had a tower-hill castle called "Seeräuberburg" built here, as evidenced by archaeological finds.

The center of the village today is the old church. The village arose around this village center. During the wars, Brandshagen was often plagued by suffering, as it is close to the militarily important city of Stralsund at the time. For example in the Thirty Years War , when Wallenstein's troops were in Brandshagen, or at the time of the Napoleonic Wars , when the citizens of Brandshagen were plundered first by French regulars and then by Ferdinand von Schill's freedom troops .

In 1871 the state statistics reported: Brandshagen had 34 houses with 80 households, there were 330 inhabitants, in 1867 there were 391. In addition to the predominantly Protestant denomination with 329 members, there was only one citizen with a Catholic religion.

Jewish cemetery Niederhof - status 2016

As early as the 18th century, Jewish citizens from Stralsund , Greifswald and other places buried their relatives in a Jewish cemetery that they had established north of the Niederhof district just off the coast of the Strelasund . After the last burial in 1850, the cemetery fell into disrepair, but was restored from 1964 and declared a cultural monument.

At the end of the Second World War , Brandshager men were also drafted into the Volkssturm to fight the advancing Red Army , but they went with a white flag towards the Soviet armored spearheads.

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Wüstenfelde was incorporated.

Brandshagen belonged to the state of Mecklenburg , from July 25, 1952 to the Rostock district and from October 3, 1990 to the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Until June 11, 1994 it was in the district of Grimmen in its respective area and then in the district of North Western Pomerania .

In the 1980s, several new development areas were built. In 1994 new building land was developed, to which another street was later attached.

The previously independent community of Brandshagen merged on June 7, 2009 with the communities of Behnkendorf , Horst , Kirchdorf , Miltzow , Reinberg and Wilmshagen to form the new community of Sundhagen. The community of Brandshagen consisted of the districts Groß-Miltzow, Middelhagen, Neuhof, Niederhof, Schönhof, Wüstenfelde (incorporated on July 1, 1950) and Brandshagen.
