history

The area was already settled in the Stone Age, as evidenced by Stone Age finds. The place names probably come from the place founders "Godeke", "Marten" or the "Martinus" or "Spolder", which indicates a log splitter. They are early German foundations during the German colonization in the east.

The von Divitz family of the same name was here in feudal ownership until the 14th century, when it died out. After brief ownership by the Moltke and Vitzen families, the von Krackewitz family bought the estate in 1480. When this died out in 1625 with Bogislaw von Krackewitz, the estate fell back as a settled fief, i.e. H. to the Duke. He gave it to his chancellor Philipp von Horn in 1626, who bequeathed it to his grandson, Count Johannes Lilienstedt (Swedish representative). Then it came through inheritance to the von Krassow family, who in 1842 established a Fideikommiß on Divitz with the other pertinances - Frauendorf, Wobbelkow and Martenshagen.
