history

Gielow

Gielow was first mentioned on August 5, 1228. In a document, Duke Wartislaw III confirmed . from Pomerania a donation from Gielow to the Dargun monastery . From 1409 to 1618 the place was under the influence of the von Maltzahn family . They had signed a protection agreement with the Dargun monastery. With the purchase of the rights to Gielow by Duke Georg Hans Albrecht, the place then passed into state rule.

The introduction of freedom of trade in 1866 developed in Gielow, which until then largely agriculturally was marked, the craft . In 1879 the Waren – Malchin railway was put into operation. This also improved Gielow's economic development. In 1894 a dairy and in 1899 a milk sugar factory were built in the village. This also resulted in an increase in the population. At the beginning of the 20th century there were already around 1500 people in Gielow.

In 1927 a gymnastics and sports club were founded in Gielow.

During the Second World War , forced laborers from Poland had to work in the local lime works. A Pole who died in the process and a French slave laborer were buried in the cemetery of the Evangelical Lutheran Parish - a memory of them is missing.

In the time of the GDR there was also a collectivization of agriculture in Gielow . In 1960 the last farmers in the community were incorporated into the local LPG . In 1967 a cattle combine was founded in Gielow. The merger of the LPG in Gielow with the Schwinkendorfs in 1974 and the establishment of the Cooperative Plant Production Department (KAP) further strengthened the new structures within the local agriculture.

In 1976 the kindergarten built during the GDR era was given a new building. In 1980 the Gielows school , which was built in 1884, was expanded to include a gymnasium and a boiler room. A school extension followed a year later.

After the political turnaround in the GDR and reunification , private businesses were founded in Gielow, particularly in the fields of wood processing, building trade, agriculture and trade. The neglected infrastructure (roads, sewage treatment plant) was renewed.

Due to the merger of the Malchin-Land Office with the city of Neukalen on July 1, 2002, Gielow belongs to this new regional authority , after it was previously one of the municipalities of the Malchin-Land Office.

Hinrichsfelde

Around 1880 the place only consisted of a manor, a little to the south there was only a farm workers' cottage. The estate was very compact and had a manor house and a park. During the GDR era, an LPG complex was built next to the remaining manor buildings, which was modernized after 1990.

Liepen

In the middle of the small town is the large pond with the castle. It was originally a tower hill castle with a moat and medieval foundations on which a manor house was built. An earth dam leads to the island in place of the former drawbridge, which was still there in 1756. It is only three feet high. Several buildings stand on it, such as the lovely old manor house, which has a high, steep late-Gothic roof. On the ground floor there are late medieval barrel vaults made of large bricks in the so-called monastery format. It can be assumed that the hill was divided into a main castle and an outer castle, separated by a moat. In 1997/1998 the moated castle was restored.

To the east of the moated castle the manor was established, which was expanded considerably until the 1880s. To the south of the estate, a row of agricultural workers can still be seen today. After 1920, a new manor house was built a little further west, which is still there today. It's in a small park.

The "Liepener Theerofen" desert is located about two kilometers to the east . In the second half of the 19th century, a day laborer's cottage and a school building (for Demzin and Liepen) were built near the old former tar stove. Both were abandoned around 1960 and fell into disrepair. In 1999 the foundations were exposed and refurbished. This settlement, which formerly belonged to Liepen, no longer belongs to the municipality today.

After 1945 the village developed into a larger settlement because many houses and farms were built as a result of the land reform.

According to the latest information (through a guided tour of Basedow Castle), the Hahn family (branch line of the Basedower Hahns) acquired the Liepen moated castle after unsuccessful bidding at the Basedower Castle auction and also lives in it.

On January 1, 1951, Liepen was incorporated.

Christinenhof

Before 1945, the Christinenhof belonged to Hahn's possessions. It was a property with a Vorwerk character. The former manor house shows the year of construction 1870 in a round panel of the dwarf house standing across the longitudinal front. To the south-west of the courtyard there was an associated brickworks and to the south-east a pheasantry was established in a small forest area. After the land reform of 1945, the place was expanded by some settlement farms.

Peenhauser

Peenhäuser owes its name to the nearby Ostpeene. It was a long farming village.
