history
The place name comes from the old Polish word Karva for cow. The name changed via Carwytze (1216) to today's Carwitz .
Carwytze was first mentioned as a fishing village in 1216 . Carwitz belonged to the Stargard rule and that of the Dukes of Pomerania . From 1292 the Stargard rule was a Wittum of the margrave's daughter Beatrix of Brandenburg . Since she was the wife of Prince Heinrich II of Mecklenburg , the rule of Stargard actually came to the princes (later dukes) of Mecklenburg from 1299. At the end of the 14th century - according to another note - the dukes of Mecklenburg-Stargard paid a Henning Parsenow rent from Carwytze .
At the beginning of the 16th century, the area became the final possession of the Mecklenburg dukes and the village was assigned to the Feldberg ( domain office ). From an ecclesiastical point of view, the village was an independent parish until the Thirty Years War and then again from 1740. In 1706 the village church was built on the Anger as a rectangular half-timbered building with a free-standing belfry in front of the west gable. The belfry was demolished in 1912.
In 1683 there were several full farmers living in Carwitz, as well as the free schools and Kossaten (also called Kötter or Kötner) and landless residents (tenants) who worked as farm workers. The Freischulzenhof west of the village was removed from Carwitz in 1858; it is known as Rosenhof from 1874 .
In 1896, at the entrance to the village, the Holländermühle with basement and gallery was able to start operating until 1937. Most of the other houses were also built around this time.
On January 1, 1969, Carwitz was incorporated into the city of Feldberg . In 1975 Carwitz had 216 inhabitants. On June 13, 1999, Carwitz was absorbed into the newly founded community of Feldberger Seenlandschaft after the city of Feldberg had given up its communal autonomy. In 2007 the place had 325 inhabitants.
The village and the Fallada estate were thoroughly redeveloped from 1992 to 2007 as part of urban development funding.
Hans Fallada in Carwitz
The village became known through the writer Hans Fallada (actually Rudolf Ditzen ), who could not make up his mind to leave Nazi Germany and lived from 1933 to 1944 in a Büdnerhaus built around 1875 with his wife Anna Ditzen . As Feldberg's mayor, he lived again briefly in Carwitz in 1945. His final resting place is in Fallada Park (former cemetery) in Carwitz after his reburial. Today the building houses the Hans Fallada Museum with the Fallada Archive.
The Hans Fallada Society wants to rebuild the former Hans Falladas boathouse according to old plans. There are still some stakes on the bank that mark the former location.
