Groß Stieten is a municipality in the district of Northwest Mecklenburg in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (Germany). The municipality is administered by the Amt Dorf Mecklenburg-Bad Kleinen , based in the municipality of Dorf Mecklenburg .

geography

Groß Stieten lies between the Hanseatic city of Wismar and the north shore of Lake Schwerin . The area is slightly hilly, it forms part of the North Sea-Baltic Sea divide .

The district of Neu Stieten belongs to Groß Stieten.

history

Groß Stieten was shaped by the estate with its manor house and farm buildings as well as the farmer's cottages. In earlier times the place was probably owned by the Knights of Rambow, who were widespread in the southern area of ​​Wismar. The von Hagen and von Zülow families followed until the 17th century . It is likely that Groß Stieten was in one hand for a long time with the villages of Neu Stieten and Grapen-Stieten.

After 1945 this was the national estate. An agricultural school was established in the 1950s, some of which still exist today. The place became the most important training center for agricultural professions in the district of Wismar.

Nationally owned estate Groß Stieten 1953

In 1952/53 a people's own estate (VEG) was founded in the village , which did not have any agricultural land, but worked as an animal breeding and rearing company. Under the management of Erich Tack and afterwards, the village experienced its greatest boom, the number of inhabitants rose to almost 1,500 by the 1980s. The VEG also ran the Mecklenburg Mühle restaurant .
Several farms were established in and around Groß Stieten, including the Losten sow rearing facility (SAZA, Tierzucht Gut Losten GmbH) from 1972 and a poultry breeding facility. Both companies still exist (2015).

In 1990 the lack of land ownership became a problem. The VEG as a state enterprise was dissolved, but there were hardly any fixed structures outside of this enterprise. The village lost 60% of its population and was able to increase its population by 11% by 2007.

Neu Stieten used to belong to the goods of Groß Stieten. From 1871 to 1945 the estate was owned by the Thormann family.
