history

Rothenklempenow

The castle in the countryside

In 1295 the castrum clempenowe , founded by the Lords of Eickstedt (Knight Friedrich von Eickstedt † 1309), was first mentioned in a document. Clempenowe was one of the northern border castles along the Randowbruch. The Randowniederung with the lakes formed a natural border between Pomerania and Brandenburg for several centuries. The estate of the von Eickstedt family was repeatedly occupied by Swedish, imperial and Polish troops over the next few centuries.

Farm workers' house in Rothenklempenow

The manor house was built in 1609 by Hans von Eickstedt, who gave up the castle as a residence. During the Thirty Years' War between 1625 and 1640, Rothenklempenow burned down almost completely under various occupations and the Mewegen manor was destroyed. Georg and Dorothea von Eickstedt donated the church from 1638. Also in 1806/07, during the war of Napoleon Bonaparte against Russia and Prussia , the place was devastated. In 1761 today's castle was built in half-timbered style with clay plaster. The extensive other manor complexes were built between 1850 and 1860 mainly in half-timbered style. After the last construction phase, the estate's own brickworks also ceased production. In the distillery, however, schnapps was made from potatoes and grain until the 1950s. 1866 there were many victims by a cholera - epidemic .

The count's estate existed until 1934, which was then divided into individual farming settlements. These were merged in 1952 to form an agricultural production cooperative (LPG). The houses, especially the manor house (castle), increasingly fell into disrepair.

Since 1993, the historic town center has been thoroughly redeveloped, among other things as part of urban development funding. During the renovation, the old red layers of paint on the castle were exposed and made visible with the painted brick grid. A “European youth workshop” was opened in the renovated castle. The fishing tower has also been renovated and is well worth seeing.

Glashütte Glashütte is located on the northeastern edge of the Randowbruch in a wooded area. The site of numerous nature reserves (framed Gottesheide with Schlosssee, Lenzener Seebruch , Wildes Moor ) and the conservation area Pomeranian Bodden coast. On July 1, 1950, Glashütte was incorporated. On January 1, 1957, the place became an independent municipality again through outsourcing. Since 1999 Glashütte has been part of Rothenklempenow again.

Mewegen Mewegen is located south of the Ueckermünder Heide . The place belonged to the Eickstedt property since the Middle Ages. In 2005 Mewegen was incorporated into Rothenklempenow.

coat of arms

Blazon : "Under the triple tinned green shield head in gold two black bars, the upper one covered with two golden roses, the lower one with a golden rose." The coat of arms and the flag were designed by the Schwerin heraldist Heinz Kippnick . It was approved together with the flag on November 26, 1999 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under the no. 200 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Justification of the coat of arms: In the coat of arms, the tinned head of the shield indicates the former important castle complex. The black bars, borrowed from the von Eickstedt family coat of arms and covered with golden roses, are a reminder of the landlords who determined the fate of the town for centuries. The tinging of the head of the shield in green should also indicate the wooded area.

flag

Flag of the municipality of Rothenklempenow

The flag is striped of yellow, green and money across the longitudinal axis of the flag cloth. The yellow stripes each take up a quarter, the green stripe takes up half the length of the flag cloth. In the middle of the green stripe is the municipal coat of arms, which takes up two thirds of the height of the flag. The relation of the height of the flag cloth to the length is like 3: 5.

Official seal

The official seal shows the municipal coat of arms with the inscription "GEMEINDE ROTHENKLEMPENOW * LANDKREIS VORPOMMERN-GREIFSWALD".

Village church

former distillery

Fishing tower

• The Protestant village church from 1638 was renovated in 1738 in the baroque style. Above the south portal there is a large inscription cartouche framed by pilasters with the donor coat of arms of Eickstedt. The single-nave plastered building from the Renaissance , with a five-sided east end, has a square west tower with a baroque spire and a wooden lantern . The nave is vaulted with a barrel vault. The large pulpit altar from 1738 has an elaborate acanthus carving on the pulpit and the cheeks. The canopy over the pulpit with a rich crown is supported by columns. The prospectus of the “ruler's lodge” dates from the same time.
• The half-timbered castle from 1761 was renovated from 1995 to 1998 and a European youth workshop was opened in it.
• The mighty round Fangelturm is a former dungeon accessible.
• The remains of an old estate with farm workers' houses and a granary from the 16th century. The houses that used to belong to the estate have a rare and interesting architecture in Western Pomerania . They consist of large field stones combined with bricks (see Hofstrasse and Dorfstrasse).
• A small village museum shows the history of the place based on archaeological finds.

Glassworks

• A small museum (Heimatstube) shows exhibits from the production of the former glassworks. This trade existed from 1665 to 1929, which gave the place its name. The prerequisites back then: abundant sand and marl deposits , firewood and potash . These were the basic materials for the production of the "green forest glass". Later peat and coal were used as fuel. About a hundred workers were last employed on six ovens.
• The former, privately restored and stylishly furnished Stolzenburg -Glashütte station. In 1897 the Randow Railway to Stettin was opened, which gave the place an economic boom. Stettin was therefore much closer to the glassworks than today's official seat in Löcknitz or the former district town of Pasewalk. In 1945 the north and middle section of the railway line was dismantled and brought to the Soviet Union as reparations - not least because of the demarcation of the border - most of the line ran on what is now Polish territory (an approximately ten-kilometer section from Daber ( Polish: Dobra ) to Stöven ( Polish Stobno ) was operated by the Polish State Railways until the end of the 1960s).

Mewegen

• In the village there is a stone church over 500 years old and an inhabited stork's nest.
