Groß Schoritz is a district of the city of Garz / Rügen on the island of Rügen in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
Groß Schoritz was first mentioned in a document in 1318. The place was a manor and ancestral seat of the von Kahlden family . This built the manor house around 1750. It is a single-storey, seven-axis residential building with a hipped roof and a central projection. In 1755 General Count Axel von Löwen acquired the estate, he was the Swedish governor general of Pomerania and Rügen. From 1767 to 1945 the Prince of Putbus were the owners.
Ludwig Nikolaus Arndt (* 1740) was a serf of Count Putbus, he was released on March 28, 1769. This is how his son Ernst Moritz wrote in his socially critical work on serfdom. Father Arndt was then estate inspector on Groß Schoritz until 1776, later a tenant.
The writer Ernst Moritz Arndt was born in the manor house on December 26, 1769 and his brother Friedrich Carl Arndt on January 19, 1772 . Both spent their childhood here. In 1913 a relief of the poet was attached to the manor house. After 1945 the manor house was used for residential purposes. The house, which has been renovated today, is used for events; an Arndt memorial room was set up on the ground floor. The manor house is surrounded by a small park with a stone wall.
