geography

The municipality of Gotthun is located in the Mecklenburg Lake District , directly on the west bank of the Müritz . The municipality forms a peninsula that is bordered by the Sietower Bay at the confluence of the Kellerbach and the Müritzbucht Binnensee .

history

Gotthun was first mentioned in a document on June 16, 1359. Prince von Werle renounced all princely rights to six Hufen to Gotthun, which the priest Ivan Kriwitz had given the Kaland . The certificate is printed in the Mecklenburg record book, Vol. XIV No. 8628. However, the area around the Müritz was settled around 5000 years ago, as evidenced by a large stone grave near Gotthun. The “Gotthuner Schanzen” on the banks of the Müritz are remains of fortifications from the Thirty Years' War . A water mill worked on the Kellerbach until 1810, and around 1840 it was replaced by the Schamper Mühle , an earth Dutchman. Today there are holiday apartments in this mill. The former manor house (built in 1826) is today the cultural center of Gotthun, here are the community office, a tourism company and various club rooms.
