history
Helmshagen was first referred to as Helmerichshagen in a document in 1274 . Duke Barnim I of Pomerania donated the village to the city of Greifswald and it became the city's first estate.
The property was within the possessions of the Eldena Monastery , which therefore had to be compensated for a land compensation. In the Thirty Years' War , all buildings were destroyed. 1637 Helmshagen was leased to Jacob Krüger. In the 18th century, the operators of the Greifswald salt works on the Gutsland used a peat dig for fuel production.
On the road from Greifswald to Gützkow and Jarmen, there was a toll collection point in the road building there in the 19th century . Until 1842 the place consisted of only one manor and the farm workers' catenary, then the area was divided into the actual Vorwerk and two side courtyards to the west of the main town, which were leased separately. The agricultural yields of the estate in the 19th century were below the average for the district . To the south of the Vorwerk is the Helmshagen Forest, for which a separate lumberjack was employed in 1843. In 1862 Helmshagen had 125 inhabitants, in 1865 there were 99.
The Pomeranian country estate Helmshagen, a Vorwerk of the city of Greifswald, had a total of forty-eight tenants between 1715 and the end of the Second World War. Including Lieutenant Colonel a. D. Fritz von Steuben, long-time chairman of the first von Steuben family association. From June 24, 1919 to June 24, 1943, he is registered as the leaseholder in the Greifswald city archive. After his marriage to the Lusatian landowner's daughter Herta Schulz von Borkowski, the professional officer wanted to create an adequate social framework and an agricultural sideline with the country estate. The property was brokered for him by his brother-in-law Wilhelm Schulz von Borkowski, who served as first lieutenant in the "92s" (92nd Infantry Regiment) in the Greifswald Graf Schwerin barracks. While his wife lived permanently in Helmshagen, Steuben stayed mainly in Berlin, where he was stationed as a general staff officer for professional reasons. After fleeing and being expelled, the couple spent their final years in Neuhaus am Schliersee (Bavaria).
