geography

The shields at Döbbersen

The community is located about 25 kilometers southwest of Schwerin in the northwest of the Ludwigslust-Parchim district. In the north, Wittendbod borders the district of Northwest Mecklenburg . In the municipality, the shields flow through the Woezer See . Another river is the Motel , which initially flows eastward as a border river to the Hagenow-Land office , then turns and, coming from the Parum district, crosses the municipality in a westward direction towards Wittenburg.

Larger contiguous forests can be found in the north around the Woezer See. You can also find the Düsterbeck Forest in the middle of the municipality. It extends between Karft and Boddin as well as Raguth / Döbbersen and Püttelkow. Another forest area, the Pogreßer Wald, is located between Boddin, Perlin, Dümmer and Pogreß. On the upper reaches of the motel there is still a broken forest area, the Luckwitzer Bruch.

History of the districts

Döbbersen: According to the confirmation document of Archbishop Gerhard II of Bremen , the Benedictine monastery Zeven owned the church and the village of Döbbersen in 1226. The church in Döbbersen was mentioned in 1230 in the Ratzeburg tithe register , which lists the localities that belonged to the diocese of Ratzeburg at that time according to parishes .

Dodow has been a table good for the bishops of Ratzeburg since 1245 and, as part of the principality of Ratzeburg , remained an exclave belonging to Mecklenburg-Strelitz . It was not until 1931 that it came to Mecklenburg-Schwerin by means of a state treaty in exchange for the Langhagen forest estate (now part of Neustrelitz ) .

Dreilützow manor house

Dreilützow: The estate was owned by the von Lützow family (from 1333). In 1725, the Minister of the Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg and Secret Councilor Andreas Gottlieb Freiherr von Bernstorff acquired the estate and built the two-storey, 17-axis mansion, a brick building with side wings and a central risalit , based on plans by Johann Paul Heumann . The estate was sold by the heirs in 1929 and relocated. The manor house was a Catholic children's home after 1947, a home for handicapped children from 1969 and has been a school camp of the Catholic Caritas since 1995 .

Drönnewitz manor house

Drönnewitz with its late baroque manor house around 1793 was located until 1945 and is now again in the possession of the Counts of Hardenberg .

Luckwitz was u. a. Well owned by the von Lützow (until 1725) and von Bernstorff (until around 1919) families , after which it was largely settled. The manor house dates from the middle of the 18th century, was a home for handicapped children after 1945 and has been a holiday home since 2006.

Pogreß was first mentioned in 1194 as Pogresse in Isfried's partition contract .

Püttelkow was first mentioned in the Ratzeburg tithe register of 1230 as Putlekowe . It was originally a round settlement.

Raguth was first mentioned in a document in 1194. The property was u. a. in the fief of the von Pentz (from 12th / 13th century), Rantzow (from 1735), von Brandenstein (from 1795) and property of Willinck (from 1808), von Bassewitz zu Perlin (1849–1878) and von Bernstorff -Gyldensteen (until 1945). The two-storey manor house in need of renovation, a converted three-wing complex, has been vacant since 1991.

Ticino mansion

Ticino was first mentioned in a document in 1230 and belonged to the diocese of Ratzeburg . Landowners were u. a. the families von Blücher (until 1616), von Husan, von Lützow (1779 to 1888) and von Isenberg (1921–1938); it was then settled. The manor house dates from around 1835 and was a hospital from 1945 to 1954, a nursing home from 1971 to 1990 and has been a specialist clinic for drug addicts since 1995.

At Waschow took place on May 25, 1200 (or 1201) a battle between the Counts Adolf I. von Dassel and Adolf III. von Schauenburg and Holstein on the one hand and the Mecklenburg princes and Danish vassals Heinrich Borwin I and Nikolaus I and the Counts of Schwerin on the other. This battle was about the existence of the County of Ratzeburg, ruled by Adolf von Dassel since 1200 . It ended with the victory of the Mecklenburg princes, who thus secured the bailies of Boitin , Gadebusch, Wittenburg and Boizenburg. The battle ended fatally for Prince Nicholas I.
