history

Jatzke castle wall

Continuous settlement of the districts in the Eichhorst area since the Neolithic Age can be proven on the basis of a number of prehistoric and early historical sites. The most important archaeological monument is, in addition to some heavily leveled Bronze Age barrows, a Slavic rampart on the outskirts of Jatzke. The " stone box " on the south side of the castle ramparts is a replica of a stone age grave and dates from the 19th century.

In 1298 the village, which was laid out as an anger village , was first mentioned as Eykchorst . The name is probably due to the large oak forests between the Datzetal and the Brohmer Mountains at the time.

In the Thirty Years' War also Eichhorst was completely destroyed.

Eichhorst has belonged to Mecklenburg-Strelitz since 1701 .

The current form of the Eichhorster Feldsteinkirche emerged after renovation work in 1837. The manor house was built on the basis of older predecessor buildings in 1821 in a classical style. Until the expropriation in 1945, the landowners changed several times, including Bredow , Engel and Schwerin . From 1964 to 1990 the manor house was partially used as a school. The building, which is in dire need of renovation, has not found a new owner since then.

Due to the area change agreement between the city of Friedland and the municipality of Eichhorst of December 12, 2013, Eichhorst and its districts were incorporated into Friedland on May 25, 2014.
