history

There are archaeological finds that date back to the Middle Stone Age . In the vicinity of Rottenrost there is also the Stone Age large stone grave Rottenrost .

Two tower mounds have survived from medieval times, although the presence of two such mounds in one place is relatively rare.

Faulenrost was first mentioned in 1275, when the knight Henning von Rostock was enfeoffed with the property of Faulenrost by Prince Nikolaus von Werle-Güstrow . The knight seems to have added his name to the village he had acquired: "Villa Rostock" (1288). However, the place name could also come from the Slavic word rastokŭ ( place where two bodies of water separate or join ).

Over time, the vernacular has made it Vůlen Rozstock (1385), then Vulen Rostke (1494) and finally Faulenrost (1683).

Faulenrost Castle in the 19th century

When it was divided among the sons of Colonel Levin Ludwig Hahn , Faulenrost fell to the knight Claus Ludwig Hahn in 1746. He began building the palace and the courtyard in 1760, with the intention of making Rottenrost his summer residence. Before completion, the builder sank "into melancholy profundity", so that only his successor, Friedrich II von Hahn , who was known for his services to astronomy, completed the building and laid out extensive gardens with greenhouses.

In 1933, Count Septimus von Hahn, who was in financial distress, sold the palace and the associated estates to a Berlin settlement company, which relocated the estates with new farmers from Württemberg. The castle was sold to the political community a little later. It served as a camp for the female labor service and accommodation for local Nazi groups. The large ballroom was used as a church for the Faulenrost community until it was confiscated by the Reich Governor (1938).

Castle complex in Faulenrost, in the middle was the main building, which burned down in 1969

When the World War broke out, Polish prisoners of war were also interned in the palace complex, and refugees were housed after the war.

On January 1, 1951, the previously independent communities Demzin and Rittermannshagen were incorporated.

In 1954 a kindergarten was set up (until 1964), the last time it served as a school. In the following years the castle fell into disrepair. It burned down on January 13, 1969, but the farm buildings and parts of the park have been preserved.

From 1842 to 1845 the Low German poet Fritz Reuter lived in Demzin, which is now a neighboring village of Faulenrost. During this time he got to know his future wife Lowising, who worked as an educator in Rittermannshagen - which is also incorporated today. Rotten rust is mentioned in Reuter's work "The prehistory of Meckelnborg".
