Surname

Originally the Slavic village was called Gizin or Gizyn around 1216 , also Chyzin in 1267 . In 1296 the E was prefixed, and the place was now Egezyn and in 1302 Eksin . The old Polish name could be derived from house or earth hut . Another translation of Gizyn could mean confluence, which suggests the confluence of the Randow into the Uecker.

middle Ages

In 1216 Eggesin appeared for the first time in a document from the Dukes Bogislaw II and Casimir II of Pomerania, who donated the village ( villa ) Gizin from the then Rochow province to the Grobe monastery on Usedom . In 1241 the Camminer Bishop Konrad III confirmed. the monks their property in Eggesin. At the end of the 13th century the dorpe to Eksin came to the Jasenitz monastery . Around 1350, the Bavarian knight Zacharias Hase von Kufstein built the Neu Torgelow Castle on the Schlossberg near Eggesin, which today is only reminiscent of an elevation in the relief.

16th to 19th century

From the 16th century had stains immediate possession of the Dukes of Pomerania (to 1637). The Thirty Years War also affected Eggesin. In the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 Eggesin was added to Swedish Pomerania . In 1720 Eggesin became Prussian . After looting and pillage, only five farmers survived in the village after this war. The area around Eggesin was slowly repopulated with farmers, fishermen and woodcutters, charcoal burners and tar skaters. The half-timbered church in Eggesin was consecrated in 1731.

The first brick factory was built in 1818. In 1884 the place got a railway connection via the Jatznick – Ueckermünde line. The Eggesin volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1888. Around 1900, twelve brickworks, three sawmills, three windmills, an iron foundry, boat workshops and later a box factory ensured an economic upswing. From 1913 the community received the first electricity connections. In the period from 1840 to the 1960s barges were loaded with bricks and ore and up to Ueckermünde to the Szczecin Lagoon towed . From there, the coffee barges , which were only built for the lagoon and lagoon, sailed along the coast and sold the goods.

Recent history

Today's residential area Karl-Marx-Straße was created in 1936 as a residential camp for the employees of the newly established armaments company Luftmunitionsanstalt (MUNA) and Deutsche Sprengchemie GmbH with the cover name Seewerk .

After the Second World War , Eggesin began developing into a garrison town in 1952 with the stationing of units of the barracked People's Police , then the National People's Army ( 9th Panzer Division ). During the GDR era, Eggesin, like the neighboring Torgelow, was synonymous with the army for thousands of conscripts . The Bundeswehr closed the site until 2005. The Eggesin-Karpin artillery barracks was one of the largest barracks in the GDR. It was auctioned in 2019.

In the 1950s, facilities such as rural outpatient clinic , pharmacy, post office and polytechnic high school (POS) were established. On August 7, 1966, on the occasion of its 750th anniversary, Eggesin received city ​​rights and its first city coat of arms. The electric motor factory started its work in 1971. In the 1970s and 1980s, 896 prefabricated buildings (Maternstrasse and Lindenstrasse), the multi-purpose town hall building and two new schools were built.

The closure of large parts of the barracks after 1990 resulted in a. a high unemployment rate; many young residents moved away. The high vacancy rate meant that entire rows of streets were demolished or dismantled and redesigned.

Since 1991, the historic city center has been thoroughly renovated as part of the urban development funding. A shopping center (Randow-Passage), the school and leisure center, a hotel, a medical center, a new landing stage on the Randow , the Karpin forest sports area, the Move sports and recreation center (now the befree sports center) and the district's vocational school were built Vorpommern-Greifswald. The half-timbered church and many houses in the city center were renovated, and new homes and terraced houses were built. For his exemplary urban planning cooperation with the cities of Ueckermünde and Torgelow , Eggesin was awarded in the federal competition " Urban Redevelopment East " in 2002.

After 2000 the new Randow Bridge was built and a new fire station was handed over. In 2007 the new town hall was inaugurated in the converted forester's house. The originally preserved four-sided courtyard of the forest building, together with the town hall, the blueberry barn as an event location, the Kulturwerk Vorpommern eV and the police station, form the new cultural and public center of the city. Eggesin has been the seat of the Am Stettiner Haff nature park administration since 2008 .

From 1952 to 1994 Eggesin belonged to the Ueckermünde district (until 1990 in the GDR - Neubrandenburg district , then in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania). In 1994 the city was incorporated into the Uecker-Randow district. Since the district reform in 2011 , it has been in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district .

Hoppenwalde district

Catholic settlers from the Palatinate founded Hoppenwalde in 1749. The predominantly Catholic faith still reminds of the Palatinate founders - every year the Corpus Christi festival takes place with a procession through Hoppenwalde. Today Hoppenwalde is a typical street village with a small dock on the Uecker. The local train stop was served until 2011.

Incorporations

On July 1, 1950, Hoppenrade was incorporated into Eggesin. After regaining independence on January 1, 1957, the place came back to Eggesin on August 14, 1992.

coat of arms

Blazon : "Argent, a blue bar rafters; accompanied below: by a tinned red wall trimmed on both sides with a closed golden gate and crenellated tower, raised by an erect, golden armored red griffin with a folded tail. " The coat of arms was approved by the Ministry of the Interior on June 21, 1993 and registered under number 74 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms, changed in 1993, combines a symbol with landscape reference points with an urban symbol and a symbol of power. While the herald's image, the rafter, is supposed to symbolize the confluence of the Randow on the Eggesiner district in the Uecker, the wall stands on the one hand as a symbol of the city, on the other hand it is intended to remind of the former brickworks, which dominated the economic development of the community Role played. The grasping is intended to refer to Eggesin's historical affiliation with Pomerania.
