history

The first unsecured mention of Groß Mohrdorf was in 1278 as Merdherpe in the Stralsund city register. From 1314 other old place names such as Murdorp or Mordorp are mentioned. Construction of the brick church began at the end of the 13th century. After belonging to the Principality of Rügen , Mohrdorf fell to the Duchy of Pomerania in 1326 . At the beginning of the 14th century, Hermanus de Turri sold the Mohrdorf estate to the Öbelitz family. In the centuries that followed, many Stralsund councilor families followed, until the von Braun family came into existence in 1626. Nikolaus von Braun separated the estate into large and small Mohrdorf at the end of the 17th century, when the property was divided between the four sons. In 1733 Baron Johan Reinhold von Trautvetter acquired the Groß Mohrdorf estate and built a new manor house there. The von Trautvetter family owned the estate until 1945.

After the Thirty Years' War until 1815, the area belonged to Swedish Pomerania and then to the Prussian province of Pomerania . After the Prussian regional administration reform, Groß Mohrdorf was incorporated into the Franzburg district in 1818, which was renamed the Franzburg-Barth district in 1928 . With the formation of administrative districts in Prussia , Groß Mohrdorf was assigned to the office of Niepar in 1874 . In 1939 the designation district was introduced. Initially, the administrative district of Stralsund was the supraregional administrative authority. This was incorporated into the administrative district of Stettin in 1932 . In 1895 Groß Mohrdorf had a connection to the small railway line of the Franzburger Kreisbahnen , which led from Stralsund to Barth. After the previously administratively independent manor districts were dissolved, the Batevitz and Klein Mohrdorf estates were incorporated into Groß Mohrdorf in 1929. This increased the number of inhabitants, in 1933 Groß Mohrburg had its largest population for the time being with 873 inhabitants.

At the end of the Second World War , Soviet troops reached the region at the beginning of May 1945 , and Groß Mohrdorf fell into the area of the Soviet occupation zone , from which the GDR emerged in 1949 .

Due to the settlement of bombed-out Stralsunders and refugees from the German eastern areas , the population of Groß Mohrdorf had increased to 1580 in 1946. The district administration was moved to Stralsund in 1946 and 1952 as part of the East German administrative reform in the district of Stralsund renamed.
