geography
Groß Gievitz in the Mecklenburg Lake District is located at the exit of the Ostpeene from the Torgelower See . The city of Waren (Müritz) is nine kilometers away. The slightly hilly area around Groß Gievitz reaches a maximum of approx. 65 m above sea level. NN.
history
Groß Gievitz is believed to have been founded in the 13th century by Westphalian farmers and knights in the previously Slavic area of Schlön. The place name is derived from the Old Slavic word gvoru (water bubble) and probably means Seedorf , with Groß Gievitz probably the younger German settlement and the district Klein Gievitz the older, originally Slavic settlement. The church goes back to the time of German settlement in the 13th century.
The place was mentioned for the first time in 1316 in a land partition agreement between Prince Johann II and Henning von Werle . The property on the site was distributed among various noble families, including the Voss , whose oldest surviving Gievitz feudal deed dates from 1332, but who may have had wealth there since the German settlement of the place. The Hahn and the Flotow also owned the site . In the 16th century, the entire property came to Messrs. Flotow auf Stuer and Hahn auf Basedow, but in the 17th century the Voss acquired sole ownership of the Gievitz estates.
After the place had been devastated in the Thirty Years War , the rebuilding of the estate took place in particular under Ernst Christoph von Voss (1655-1720). His nephew and heir Friedrich Ernst von Voss (1700–1738) died young and left two underage sons, from whom Johann Ernst von Voss (1726–1793) received the goods in Gievitz, Schönau and Rumpshagen . Since he was district president in Magdeburg and from 1763 court marshal to the Prussian queen, he only stayed in Gievitz in late summer and autumn, and most recently only for weeks with his wife Sophie Marie von Pannewitz . In 1796, the latter, who in the meantime had risen to become Chief Chamberlain herself, received a visit from the Prussian Queen Luise and her husband, King Friedrich Wilhelm III , in Gievitz .
The oldest houses in the village that have survived today date from around 1750. Around 1800 the place was described as a dirty village with around 30 clay-roofed cottages. After a fire in 1820, under Felix von Voss (1801–1881) a lot of the building stock in the place was renewed. Groß Gievitz gained importance as a craft village and until 1848 had market justice .
The last Count of Voss, Felix von Voss (1856–1931), sold the estate in 1929 to a Rittmeister Kothe, who, however, sold it to Nordsiedlung GmbH in Berlin in 1935 due to economic problems. The northern settlement then initiated the settlement of the place with settlers from Schleswig-Holstein, for which four new court settlements were created outside the place. Most of the settlers returned to their old homeland in West Germany after 1945. The farms were further parceled out in the course of the land reform and given to new settlers who had come to Mecklenburg as expellees from East and West Prussia, Pomerania and the Sudetenland.
On July 1, 1950, the previously independent community carefree was incorporated. On January 1, 2012, the municipalities of Groß Gievitz, Hinrichshagen and Lansen-Schönau merged to form the new municipality of Peenehagen.
