Location of the municipality of Görmin in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district

Görmin is a West Pomeranian municipality in the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania (Germany). It belongs to the Office Peenetal / Loitz , which has its administrative seat in the city of Loitz .

Geography and landscape

Görmin is not far from the Peene , the one kilometer wide valley of which here, crossed by moors, is only partially original. The middle and lower part of the Peene is an almost stagnant body of water, up to the confluence with the Stettiner Haff , 35 km away , the gradient is only a few centimeters. Görmin and the districts are spread over a ground moraine area ( Jubelsberg , 40 m above sea level), which is bordered in the north by the valley of the Schwinge and in the south by the Peene valley .

Due to the intensive agricultural use, the municipality is very poorly forested. Notable forests are the Göslower Busch and the Trissower Busch . In their current vegetation, they are predominantly the result of afforestation with conifers (spruce) at the beginning of the 20th century. An older stock of oaks on the Eichberg in the Trissow district was cut down in the post-war period. The Göslower Busch was created at the end of the 18th century through afforestation of arable land; the Trissower Busch can be directly backed up to the 17th century, indirectly even back to the Middle Ages, with written sources. At the boundary of the district, where the two wooded areas meet, there is a depression in the ground that is popularly known as Höllengrund . This field name goes back to a meadow with the name Lütke Helle that was occupied in the Trissower district in the 17th century . The Low German word light stands for sink or slope, cf. High German Halde .

Another forest, the Damerower Busch, begins on the northern edge of the Passow district . It is the largest contiguous wooded area in the vicinity and is largely in the area of ​​the neighboring municipality of Sassen-Trantow.

In the Peene Valley , renovation work in the 20th century created large meadows, some of which are still used today as pastureland. Recently, however, it was decided to give up the majority of these areas for renaturation. Like other parts of the river valley, they will become bushy relatively quickly and develop into an alluvial forest landscape .

The section of the Loitz-Greifswald road between Görmin and Klein Zastrow still presents itself today as a continuous avenue of lime trees, even if numerous gaps have emerged in recent decades due to the need for felling. It goes back to the Chaussee construction of 1894. Other roads formerly lined with trees, such as the one from Görmin via Trissow to Jargenow, are largely treeless today or were only replanted in the 1990s. The stock of elms that used to exist there disappeared within a few years around 1980 due to a tree disease. Likewise, most of the maple trees on the road from Görmin to Passow and on to Vierow had to be felled after they had died out in recent years.

Görmin is surrounded by the neighboring communities of Dersekow in the north, Dargelin in the northeast, Bandelin in the southeast, Bentzin in the south and Sassen-Trantow in the west.

history

Great stone graves near Groß Zastrow

Some large stone graves from the Neolithic between the Schwinge and the district of Groß Zastrow, the large stone graves near Groß Zastrow , including the Klingenstein near Passow, testify to the early settlement of the area . The region was inhabited by Slavs since around the 7th century . Alt Jargenow is considered to be the oldest part of the municipality. It was first mentioned in a document around 1220. The immigration of German settlers began around 1240 and created the current settlement structure. Only the division of Jargenow into the two current districts of Alt- and Neu-Jargenow did not take place until the middle of the 19th century. Since the 13th century, the still resident Slavs were assimilated. The fact that Slavs and Germans lived side by side in the Görmin area for a time is testified by the field name Wendland , which was used until the 18th century, for a late medieval desert north of Böken and Göslow.

St. Mary's Church (Görmin)

The oldest parts of the Gothic church in Görmin date from the middle of the 13th century; the tower was added in 1868. There were chapels in Groß Zastrow, Jargenow and Passow until the Thirty Years' War . Of them only the Jargenower survived the times. In Passow in the 18th century a school was built on the site of the chapel by the then landlord and patron of the chapel, Franz Otto von Wackenitz, which lasted until the 19th century.

In contrast to the surrounding villages and today's districts, Görmin remained a farming village until collectivization in the GDR. Originally, in the 13th century, Göslow, Böken, Groß Zastrow and probably also Jargenow were laid out as farming villages. There the goods were only created over the centuries in the course of general agricultural developments in northeast Germany. Old manors with detectable in the 14th century noble residences were against Passow and Trissow, as is to Dersekow belonging Klein Zastrow . Among the over the centuries in the identical with today's political community parish belonged resident noble families of Wakenitz , (later von der Lancken-Wakenitz) of Holste, Blixen and Scheelen. The last noble landowner who was also resident in the parish was Fritz Freiherr von der Lancken-Wakenitz, who died in the Battle of Königgrätz in 1866 . The parish manors are all still preserved. In the course of the settlement of the manor Passow and the domain Groß Zastrow from 1931/32, many farming families u. a. from Westphalia and the Palatinate . The general agricultural crisis of the interwar period, combined with a catastrophic crop failure in 1929, meant that all manors, with the exception of Trissow, came under forced administration. Some were auctioned off and given new owners. In 1945 all goods were expropriated and the land was distributed to the local farm workers and the displaced.

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality Jargenow was incorporated.

During this time, the merger of the two previous communities of Görmin with the districts of Görmin, Passow, Groß Zastrow, Trissow and Böken and Jargenow, consisting of the districts of Alt- and Neu-Jargenow and Göslow, today's community of Görmin was created. With the administrative reform of 1952, the congregation moved from Grimmen county in Demmin and thus into the newly created district of Neubrandenburg, the northeastern tip they now formed.

In 1975 the community merged with the neighboring communities of Trantow, Sassen, Vorbein and Düvier as well as the city of Loitz to form the Loitz community association. After 1989 it became the administrative office Peenetal , initially without Loitz. In 1998 the Peenetal / Loitz office was established with Loitz .

In 1823 a new schoolhouse was built in place of the old sexton's workshop in Görmin. There were also separate schools in Jargenow and Passow. In 1860 a second school building, known for a long time as the old school , was built. Four years earlier, a new school building had also been built for Göslow, Alt- and Neu-Jargenow on the border between Göslow and Neu-Jargenow. After the Second World War, these buildings were by no means sufficient and in the 1960s a new school, the so-called “pavilion”, was built. A second building and a gymnasium were added to it by 1980. The Görmin school functioned as a POS until the end of the GDR . After the reunification it was initially secondary school; later it became an elementary school due to falling student numbers.

The land reform in autumn 1945 led to the division of the goods Old and New Jargenow, Böken, Göslow and Trissow. The remaining landowners were driven out. In Görmin, a machine rental station (MAS) was initially built on the site of a former large farm , which later became a machine and tractor station (MTS) .

The first LPGs were founded in the 1950s . 1960 and 1969 were the decisive years in the process of cooperativeization. Initially only LPG type I (joint field cultivation, individual animal husbandry) were formed separately in each place, but in 1969 it was converted to LPG type III (full collectivization ) and then merged into larger cooperatives. In the 1970s, animal and plant production were separated and the LPG (P) Görmin and LPG (T) Passow were established, which existed until 1990. The LPG (P) operated for a while in the 1970s as the Cooperative Plant Production Department (KAP), including the LPG in the neighboring communities of Trantow and Zarrentin. Their agricultural area was more than 4000 hectares.

After 1989/90 the previous LPG dissolved and agricultural cooperatives and private companies were founded as successor companies. The craft brigades, which had previously belonged to the LPG, were partly private craft businesses.
