history

Manor in Validz

Validz was in the fiefdom of the von Maltzahn family since 1484 . It was only owned by the von Preen family from 1569 to 1646, but was then bought back by the Maltzahn. After the death of Albrecht Hermann von Maltzahn, who died as a Prussian major in the battle of Chotusitz in 1742 , his cousin Axel Albrecht von Maltzahn inherited the estate. Axel Albrecht , district administrator in the Prussian part of Western Pomerania , the so-called Altvorpommern , acquired the adjacent Prützen estate . On behalf of District Administrator Axel von Maltzahn (1808–1841), who moved to Validz in 1838, Peter Joseph Lenné designed an English landscape garden in 1840 . His son Helmuth von Maltzahn had a classicist mansion built between 1868 and 1872 according to the design of the Schwerin building councilor Georg Daniel . During this time, the English landscape park was also redesigned. After the Second World War , the von Maltzahn family was expropriated. The last owner of the 1000 hectare estate was Helene Luise Freifrau von Maltzahn. During the GDR era, an agricultural vocational school was housed in the manor house. After the reunification , the mansion was privatized, served at times as a hotel and has been vacant since then.

On January 1, 1951, Validz was spun off from the neighboring community Gnevkow and formed a new community.
