history

middle Ages
The first evidence of settlement in the Feldberg area comes from the Bronze Age (around 1800–600 BC). The area was inhabited by Germanic people until the Great Migration. Early Slavic traces from the 7th / 8th centuries Century were found in a huge hilltop castle on the Schlossberg near Feldberg. After excavations by Carl Schuchhardt and Robert Koldewey in 1922, it was believed until the early 1950s that the Slavic sanctuary of Rethra was located here. In the meantime, this view has been undoubtedly refuted by new scientific findings. The pottery finds from Schlossberg, however, show a particularly high-quality Old Slavonic style which, according to the typology of Slavic ceramics established by Ewald Schuldt , is referred to as the Feldberger Group in Mecklenburg .
Veltberg Castle - as the seat of a Brandenburg feudal lord - was first mentioned in a document in 1256. A small village settlement developed around the castle. The castle and settlement were then part of the Stargard rule .
1500-1800
In 1519 Feldberg became the seat of a ducal Mecklenburg administrative office (domain office). The place suffered badly from the Thirty Years War . Of the 1000 inhabitants in the Feldberg district, only three families lived in 1639. In 1801 there were again 251 inhabitants.
1700-1900
Around 1700 a half-timbered church was built on the Amtswerder peninsula. Since the division of Mecklenburg by the Hamburg settlement in 1701, Feldberg belonged to the state part (Duchy, Grand Duchy) of Mecklenburg-Strelitz until 1918 , then to the Free State of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and from 1934 to 1952 to the State of Mecklenburg .
In 1851, the spa in Feldberg began with the construction of a hydropathic institute. At that time the place had the status of a market town , a village settlement with special privileges (especially market rights). Due to the long village development, Feldberg still lacks typical urban structures, such as a market square or a historic town hall.
In 1869 the place was "connected to the outside world for the first time on a solid road".
In 1870 the half-timbered church burned down on the Amtswerder.
The neo-Gothic Feldberg town church was built from 1872 to 1875 .
More recent times from 1900
1910 Connection to the railway network as the end point of a branch line from Thurow . The line was shut down around the year 2000.
Since the settlement form of Marktflecken no longer existed after the fall of the monarchy in the young Free State of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Feldberg was granted town charter on July 29, 1919 and became one of the smallest towns in Mecklenburg.
During the Second World War , a larger satellite camp of the Ravensbrück concentration camp was set up in which female prisoners were used for forced labor . In Feldberg nothing reminds of this chapter of German history.
After 1945, at the instigation of the first post-war mayor, the writer Hans Fallada , a memorial for the victims of fascism , who fell victim to a transport project in the 1970s, was erected on the school square (crossing area in front of today's official building) .
On July 1, 1950, the previously independent community of Neuhof was incorporated.
A holiday camp was set up in Mechow during the GDR era .
The population rose to over 3,000 due to the influx of displaced people . In 1972 Feldberg became a "state-approved resort". As a result, between 25,000 and 40,000 vacationers came to the resort's recreational facilities every year. After the fall of the Wall in the early 1990s, the number of overnight stays fell dramatically. The number of guests has since stabilized through the construction of two health clinics and the expansion of the infrastructure.
From 1952 to 1990 Feldberg belonged to the Neustrelitz district in the Neubrandenburg district . In 1991 it became part of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , since the district reform of 1994 it belonged to the district of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and after the district reform of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 2011 to the district of Mecklenburg Lake District . The town center was thoroughly renovated in the 1990s as part of urban development funding.
On June 13, 1999, Feldberg was the first town in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania to renounce its municipal autonomy and was incorporated into the Feldberger Seenlandschaft community , which has since had its administrative headquarters in the Feldberg district. Historical developments from 1999 onwards are therefore described for the newly created community .

coat of arms
|
|
Blazon : "In silver over a blue shield base, in it three silver waves one above the other, a red wall with a tinned red tower between two battlements, the tower with a square black window."
The coat of arms was created by Dr. Hans Witte designed, adopted in 1928 and registered under number 43 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. |
| Explanation of the coat of arms: In the coat of arms, the base of the shield should be used to indicate the lake-rich surroundings. The wall with the tin tower stands for the origin of the place, the border castle, of whose tower a stump has been preserved. Due to the merger of several municipalities, the city coat of arms lost its status as the emblem of the city of Feldberg on June 13, 1999. |
flag
The former city did not have an officially approved flag .
Culture
In 1965 the Feldberger Carnival Club (FKK) was founded, the first president was Johannes Huebner ("Hannes the Heavenly Dog"). The carnival initially took place in Carwitz and in the Hotel Hullerbusch before the event established itself in Feldberg. There the battle cry "Schlaewitzberg Huneu" arose, which stands for the districts (Schlicht, Laeven, Carwitz, Feldberg, Hullerbusch, Neuhof). There are over 100 members and a children's dance group with around 30 children, the Waldhotel Stieglitzenkrug has been the parent company since the 2000s. In Feldberg there is also its own Rose Monday parade , which is a specialty for Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
The club cinema has existed since 1994 in the Juri Kulturhaus with an attached youth club. The cinema is operated by the film club as part and representation of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania regional association for film communication .
