history

Surname

The name is first encountered in 1194 as Hachenowe , later Haghenow (e) (1316, 1326), then Hagenowe and finally Hagenow . Although the West Slavic genitive ending -owe ( place des ... ) suggests a Polabian origin of the name, the toponomics is based on a combination of the Germanic word Hagen and the Germanic ending ö (g) , öch for Aue, Wiesenland . The name then meant something like fenced meadow land .

Hagenow in the Middle Ages

Hagenow is first mentioned in a document in Isfried's partition contract of 1194. Even then, Hagenow had a castle and a church. In 1201 secular rule over the place was passed from the Counts of Ratzeburg to the Counts of Schwerin . The church is mentioned in 1230 in the Ratzeburg tithe register , which lists the parishes belonging to the diocese of Ratzeburg at that time, sorted according to parishes . In the year 1326 Hagenow was a village when the Countess of Schwerin Merislave to Her jointure belonging "dorp do Haghenowe" her cousin, Count Heinrich von Schwerin left. In 1358 Hagenow came to the dukes of Mecklenburg . In 1370 the place was already referred to as an oppidum , i.e. a city, but also remained insignificant as a city for a long time, since it is still called a village in the regional healing register from 1520.

Development from the 16th century

The years 1538, 1748 and 1766 were marked by large fires, which several times destroyed almost the entire development. The oldest building still in existence in the city dates back to 1720. Also due to the fires is the typical Mecklenburg rural town architecture that dominates the city center. In 1746 Hagenow was referred to as a market town and in 1754 its status as a town was confirmed by the official award of town charter. Hagenow became a country town in Mecklenburg and was represented on state parliaments until 1918 as part of the towns in the Mecklenburg district .

Since around 1760, Jewish families have settled here with the permission of the sovereign, who set up a cemetery and built the synagogue (now called the Old Synagogue ). The last service took place in 1907, the last burial in 1935. The synagogue was desecrated during the November pogrom in 1938 , and was probably saved from being burned down by other buildings in the immediate vicinity. Then it served various purposes until the start of the renovation in 2001, including as a warehouse.

Economic boom

The office in the Mecklenburg district of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin was later given the name of the city. The size of the 8,500 resident office was 4.15 square miles. The city of Hagenow itself had 3400 inhabitants. At the beginning of the 19th century, growth gradually began, which was promoted from 1846 by the nearby route of the Berlin-Hamburg railway . At the same time, Hagenow played a not laudable role in the Mecklenburg Vormärz with the expulsion of the poor doctor Ernst Raber from 1842, but he was elected to the Mecklenburg Assembly of Representatives for Hagenow in 1848 . This period of Hagenow in Vormärz is known regionally in Mecklenburg as Hagenow Wirren .

By 1900 an elementary school, a municipal bathing establishment as well as a savings bank and several newspaper publishers were established. Nail forging, market shoemaking, brewery, distillery, tobacco manufacture, dyeing and linen weaving existed as economic sources of income.

Hagenow from 1900

The economy expanded around 1900 to include a roofing felt factory, steam grinders and sawmills for the wood processing industry, and a steam dairy that produced cheese. The population rose to 4109. In 1933, Hagenow became the district town of the district of Hagenow, which was named after 1938 .

During the National Socialist era , the synagogue in Hagenstrasse was set on fire during the November pogroms in 1938 ; the fire was put out by neighbors worried about their own homes. After the pogroms of 1938, a family, a doctor and another man from the Jewish community lived in Güstrow. The two men were married to non-Jews; the family was deported to Auschwitz in 1942. During the time of the Second World War, an airfield / air base of the German Air Force with two runways, aircraft hangars and barracks was built in front of the gates of Hagenow near Sudenhof. After 1945 tank forces of the Soviet Army were stationed there.

The place became known by the title " Fru Püttelkow ut Hagenow" of the Low German dialect group " De Plattfööt ". Local historical events were described in the publication series “Fiek'n hätt schräb'n ut Hagenow”, published by the local chronicler Kuno Karls.

From around 1968 to 1988, the large residential areas Neue Heimat with 1,454 apartments and Kietz with 1,032 apartments were built using prefabricated panels. In addition to agriculture, sawmills, brickworks and the cheese factory were the basis of the economy. In 1988 the population was 11,600.

After the political change, the historic city center and since 1996 the Kietz ( urban redevelopment ) were fundamentally renovated as part of urban development funding. The Panzer Grenadier  Battalion 401 of the Bundeswehr has been in the "Ernst Moritz Arndt Barracks" since April 1, 1991.

From 1952 to 1994 Hagenow was the district town of the district of the same name (until 1990 in the GDR district of Schwerin , then in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania). It was the largest district in the GDR in terms of area . In 1994 the city was incorporated into the Ludwigslust district. Since the district reform in 2011 , the city has been in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district .

Incorporations

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent communities of Granzin near Hagenow, Scharbow, Viez and Zapel were incorporated.

Buildings

  • City church, neo-Gothic building from 1875/1879, the builder was Georg Daniel , the new tower was built by Gustav Hamann . It replaces a previous building made of rock masonry. The building was only slightly damaged in World War II . The biggest loss that the Hagenower had to accept, however, was the loss of their church tower bell , which disappeared in the chaos of war and probably ended up in the bell cemetery in Hamburg-Veddel , from which she never came back. A replacement could only be obtained a few years later, in the meantime only a small bell rang for the church.
The building was extensively redesigned in the 1970s. The church was divided west of the transept . In the nave to the west of it, false ceilings were put in and then community rooms and apartments were set up, only the eastern part with the choir and transept has been used as a sacred space since then, with the community today facing west, contrary to the traditional orientation. In 1994 the building received a new organ and in 2001 a photovoltaic system.
  • Municipal water tower Hagenow, 28 meters high, clinker brick building from 1908 with neo-Gothic windows. The steel tank held 300 cubic meters of water. The tower was rebuilt in 1938. Its height has been reduced a little. Until the 1970s it served the municipal utilities as a water reservoir. After vacancy, it was converted into a residential home in the 1990s.
  • Hagenow Land station , a late Classicist building from 1845/46, is considered an important building of this style on the route. The station was once considered an “emigrant station”, as evidenced by the billboards of the Hamburg-America Line , which can be seen on old postcards showing the building. The Keilbahnhof had to establishing the Deutsche Reichsbahn after the First World War, according to its use by two regional railways a "Prussian" and "Mecklenburg" page.

  • Lange Straße, the first street in the village, was once provided with barriers that were closed at night until 1863. Numerous renovated half-timbered houses have been preserved, including No. 82, the oldest preserved house in the city, probably from 1730 (today Stadtkrug).

The museum for everyday culture in the Griesen area and the old synagogue at Langen Straße 79 consist of half-timbered buildings typical of a 19th century country town. The land of the arable family Jessel, the councilman Rick and the hat maker Brandt with residential and farm buildings now house exhibitions and collections on the past everyday culture in the region.

Economy and Infrastructure

economy

In 1991, Hagenow was accepted into the urban development program of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The intention behind this was to revive and also to maintain the typical Mecklenburg retail and commercial structure that characterizes the city. At the same time, the historic center was also to be renovated and made more attractive again. The implementation of these measures led to the fact that today several retail stores line the streets of the old town.

On the outskirts of the city center there are two large industrial and commercial areas, on the one hand a 46- hectare area on Steegener Chaussee, where there are also three combined heat and power plants , and a 62-hectare area in the Sudenhof district along the federal road 321 .
