geography

Grambower Moor

The community of Grambow is only eight kilometers west of Schwerin in hilly terrain. The North Sea-Baltic Sea watershed runs here : south to the Elbe and north over the Stepenitz to the Baltic Sea. The Zare flows through the municipality . The municipality borders in the south and east on the Ludwigslust-Parchim district . Parts of the Grambower Moors were rewetted after 1990 for the purpose of regeneration.

The district of Wodenhof belongs to Grambow. Other places to live are in Charlottenthal, sheep farm and brickyard.

history

The vassals of the Counts of Schwerin and those of Brüsewitz settled the land around Grambow as locators. This happened around 1150. With their relatives, the von Weltzien , they turned to new tasks further east. But there were still 1391 Brüsewitze mentioned in the county of Schwerin. The von Brüsewitz are followed by the von Halberstadt , also a Schwerin vassal family. They were enfeoffed in 1337 with Brütz and in 1357 the court marshal and Burgmann Henning Halberstadt with Grambow. From the Halberstadt the von Lepel acquired Grambow in several stages from 1590 to 1610. Adam von Lepel lived with Ilsabe von Pressentin on Grambow since his marriage in 1596 and was accepted into the knighthood in 1610 after receiving the feudal letter. Heinrich Kauffeldt took over the glassworks in Grambow from Klaus Friedrich von Lepel in 1697 from the Kauffeldt family of glass masters from Hamburg .

Finally, a violent legal dispute over Grambow developed between von Pressentin , von Plessen , von Zülow and the pledge holder, with von Lepel's only passive participation. With the contract of 1766 Joachim Otto Friedrich von Lepel sold the last rights to Grambow and whatever else was property on Rambow . The Swedish pledge holder Mathias Nicolaus Thomsen received Grambow with the Wendish paddock for 58,000 Thaler. In 1783 his son inherited Grambow, who in 1799 initiated a large peat cut. He exchanged Grambow for Clausdorff. The next owner was Heinrich Andreas Flügge from Hamburg in 1803. In 1806 he set up a brick factory on the road to Groß Brütz. In 1807 the glassworks was set up again and was operated by a Hamburg company, later by JC Berenberg. The estate went bankrupt on his death.

Grambow mansion

On April 21, 1817, the Grand Ducal Mecklenburg-Schwerinsche Geheime Finanzrat Israel Jacobsen bought the Grambow estate on Tressow near Waren . He was an important businessman with a wide range of interests and talents. In 1818 he put on the Pertinenz Charlottenthal. With the help of the Schwerin master builder Carl Adolph Hermes, he built new farm buildings from 1840 and had the existing buildings renewed. A two and a half story mansion was built by 1845 using old components . His son, the Berlin banker Meyer Jacobsen, was the heir and handed over Grambow to his son Gottlieb in 1846. This lived and worked in Grambow. But in 1856 he sold the estate for 427,000 thalers to the tenant Carl August Diestel on Gustävel and Cambs and then went to London. The Grambow estate then continued to pay taxes to the church, parish and sexton of Groß Brütz. The family stayed in Grambow until 1945.

The Grambow and Charlottenthal estate were sold to the Grand Ducal Ministry of Finance in 1906. By 1908, the Schwerin court building officer, Liss, converted the manor house for Grand Duke Friedrich Franz IV . From 1943 to 1945 there was a branch of the Reich Security Main Office with the Reich Criminal Police Office in the manor house .

Occupied in 1945 by the Red Army, the manor and manor house were not handed over to the state property administration and the VEG until 1949 . From 1950 to 1956 the NDPD used the manor house as a state party school. After that it was used as a training center for the youth association FDJ of the GDR until 1989 .

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

In 1990 the LPG was dissolved, the restaurant closed, peat mining stopped and the estate privatized. The manor house and farm building were renovated in 2001 and the Gut Grambow hunting school opened in 2003 .

coat of arms

Blazon : "Three (2: 1) black cranes with outspread wings in gold over a green corrugated shield base, the lower one pointing upwards, the upper one pointing diagonally inwards." The coat of arms was designed by the Weimar heraldist Michael Zapfe . It was approved on July 10, 1998 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under the number 167 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Reasons for the coat of arms: In the coat of arms, the base of the wave shield is supposed to symbolize the nature reserve “Grambower Moor” . The cranes indicate on the one hand a preferred habitat and breeding area for these birds in the Grambower Moor, and on the other hand they symbolize the number of the two districts and the settlement.

flag

Official seal
