history

Coat of arms of the former municipality of Flecken Zechlin

The name of the place Zechlin is probably derived from the Slavic word cêglu for single or from the Slavic locator Cêgola .

Flecken Zechlin - or just Zechlin - was first mentioned in a document in 1237 in a deed of donation from Prince Nikolaus I von Werle to the Cistercian monastery of Bad Doberan . Since 1304 it belonged to the Stargard rule . When it passed into Mecklenburg ownership after the Treaty of Vietmannsdorf , its Prince Heinrich II built a castle to protect it against the Brandenburg margraves. In 1320 it was sold by him to the diocese of Havelberg .

In 1548 the last bishop of Havelberg, Busso X. von Alvensleben, died and during the Reformation the castle and the land belonging to it fell to the Brandenburg Elector Joachim II. Flecken Zechlin became an electoral office, the Zechlin office .
