history

Friedland

Friedland around 1760

Even before 1200, a settlement of the traders who already owned a Nikolaikirche was built at a crossroads of old trade routes on the edge of the large fens on a ridge. When the Stargard rule came into the hands of the Brandenburgers after the Treaty of Kremmen , the Brandenburg margraves Otto III founded. and Johann I. next to the existing settlements in 1244 under German law the city of Vredeland , today's Friedland. The two donors can still be found in the city arms today. The place, directly on the ditch near the Pomeranian border, served as protection against the Pomeranians .

Around 1300 a grid-shaped street grid developed in an elliptical city plan, which was surrounded by a partially preserved, strong fortification with a city wall up to six meters high. The Gothic Anklamer Tor (Steintor) began in 1304, while the late Gothic, three-story ( Neubrandenburger Tor ) (formerly Burgtor) was built in the 15th century. Later 29 Wieck houses were added to the city wall  ; The fishing castle from the 13th century was preserved. The fishing tower of the fortification became a water tower in 1911 and a lookout tower in 1997.
Through the Treaty of Vietmannsdorf in 1304, the Stargard rule and with it Friedland came under the rule of the lords, dukes, and finally the grand dukes of Mecklenburg. Friedland became a country town in Mecklenburg and, as such, part of the towns in the knightly district of Stargard , which were represented on the Mecklenburg regional parliaments of the estates united in 1523 until 1918 .

Wars like the Seven Years' War (battle near Kavelpass , 1760), famines, epidemics (1637/38 with 872 plague deaths), city fires (twelve, especially the great city fire of 1703) as well as the situation in one of the structurally weakest German regions hampered urban development. In 1806 Napoleon's troops under Marshal Joachim Murat marched through the city with 70,000 soldiers, then further French (over 190,000 men) and Prussian troops. Friederike Krüger from Friedland fought in men's clothing in the Napoleonic Wars of Liberation (1813-1815) to liberate her country. For her bravery she even received the Iron Cross under the name August Lübeck .

Like many other cities, Friedland experienced a heyday in the 19th century. In 1803 a new town hall was built, in 1862 a hospital in the Johannesstift, from 1866 a modern water supply system with hydroelectric power station (1886) on Woldegker Straße. The Friedländer Gymnasium (1371 to 1840 school for scholars ) was the most important secondary school in southeast Mecklenburg until the early 19th century. The first German gymnastics club was founded in Friedland in 1814 (today: TSV 1814 Friedland ), making it the oldest sports club in Germany. Carl Leuschner, teacher and most recently vice-principal of the school of scholars, laid the first gymnastics course in Mecklenburg in Friedland in 1814. From 1854 Friedland had street lights and from 1894 sidewalks. The city became famous for the Rote Friedländerin , a red tile that was used for laboratory tables and kitchen tiles.

During the founding period , the Neubrandenburg – Friedland railway line (1884), the dairy (1890), the sugar factory (1891), the mosaic slab factory (1894), the gas factory (1896) and the overland control center (1911) were built.

At the end of the Second World War on 28./29. April 1945 large parts of the old town, including the town hall from 1803, destroyed or burned down by Red Army soldiers. New buildings erected in the old town area since 1965 characterize the cityscape today. From 1965 to 1985, 1,334 apartments were built in the city center, mostly using prefabricated panels. After the political change, the still existing historical buildings in the old town were renovated as part of urban development funding.

From 1952 to 1994 Friedland belonged to the district of Neubrandenburg-Land (until 1990 in the GDR district of Neubrandenburg , from 1990 to 1994 in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). In 1994 the city was incorporated into the Mecklenburg-Strelitz district. Since the district reform in 2011 , it has been in the Mecklenburg Lake District .

Districts

Eichhorst was first mentioned in 1298 as Eykchorst . The Angerdorf built the Gothic stone church around 1300 on the Anger ; In 1836/37 it was expanded and the octagonal lattice tower was built according to plans by Buttel . The estate often had changing owners, was relocated after 1945, was run as LPGs in 1952 and was an agricultural cooperative after 1990. The manor house from 1821 was used as a ten-class school building from 1964 until the 1990s.

Glienke was first mentioned in 1298. A Slavic rampart dates from the 10th century. The stone church of the round village on the Anger was built by 1772.

Jatzke , an anger village with a former estate (the manor house burned down in 1945), has the remains of a Slavic fortification.

Liepen had been a district of Eichhorst since 1973. The national economist Johann Heinrich von Thünen ran the estate for several years around 1806.

Ramelow: The estate was owned by the von Hahn families (from 1769), Heinrich Hase (from 1815), Johann Emanuel Hoth (from 1821) and Ludwig Bicker (1895–1945). The manor house from the time after 1769 is falling into disrepair.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of the city of Friedland
Blazon : “In silver, a double red wall arch that ends at the intersection below in a fallen heraldic lily, with three red towers, the middle one with a five-way tinned plate supported by struts, the lower side towers each with a four-way tinned plate and a window ; underneath are the busts of two blue armor with gold helmet clasp and gold belt, who has a silver sword with a gold handle in his right hand and a gold lance with a silver tip in his left hand, and who has a silver sword with a gold tip in his right hand Grip and in the left hand a golden flag lance with a silver tip and a cross-striped red-silver flag, between the armor a silver triangular shield with a red eagle inside. "

The coat of arms was redrawn in 1997 and registered under number 129 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms is based on the seal image of SIGILLVM BVRGENSIVM DE FRIDELAN - first handed down as an imprint in 1343. On September 30, 1939 Friedland was awarded a coat of arms slightly modified by the Berlin-based Prof. Hans Herbert Schweitzer by the Reich governor in Mecklenburg : three tinned red towers in gold standing on a double arch, a silver shield with a red eagle under them and between the busts of the armored men . The restored coat of arms shows an urban symbol, the wall arch with the three towers, as a symbol for a fortified city, as well as a rulership symbol, the coat of arms of the margraves of Brandenburg, and two human figures symbolizing the two margravial city founders.

flag

The flag was designed by Frank Erstling from Friedland and approved on July 15, 1997 by the Ministry of the Interior.

The flag is evenly striped lengthways in red and white. In the middle of the flag is the city coat of arms, two thirds of the height of the red and white stripes. The length of the flag is related to the height as 5: 3.

Official seal

The official seal shows the city arms with the inscription STADT FRIEDLAND - LANDKREIS MECKLENBURGISCHE SEENPLATTE.

traffic

Friedland is on the federal highway B 197 between Neubrandenburg and Anklam and on the state roads L 28 between Neddemin and Ferdinandshof , L 273 to Altentreptow and L 281 to Woldegk . The closest motorway junctions are Neubrandenburg-Ost and Friedland i. M. on the A 20 (Neubrandenburg - Uckermark triangle ).

The city has no rail connection. The station Friedland (Meckl) was due to the Mecklenburg-Pomeranian narrow-gauge railway between Jarmen and Ferdinandshof on which the passenger was discontinued in 1945 or 1969, at the railway Neubrandenburg-Friedland (1994 end of passenger traffic).
