Location in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

Heinrichsruh is a district of the town of Torgelow in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district in eastern Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (Germany).

geography

The area around Heinrichsruh in the south-western area of ​​the Ueckermünder Heide , a wooded flat land, is characterized by little relief (altitudes over 20 m above sea level are the exception). The soils are mostly sandy. The place lies between the core town of Torgelow and the municipality of Ferdinandshof .

The places Müggenburg and Müggenburger Teerofen originally belonged to Heinrichsruh .

history

The place was initially called Heinrichsruhe. In 1752 Christoph Ludwig Henrici owned the place, expanded the estate and built the still existing manor house that year. But he had received the condition to settle 30 colonists there. This happened with the draining of the area between the Friedländer Große Wiese and the Ueckermünder Heide on behalf of the Prussian kings Friedrich Wilhelm I and Friedrich the Great . In 1774, the long lease of the estate was newly contractually regulated. At that time August Ludwig Henrici was the landlord. In 1836 the lease of the Dominial was converted into free property. Now the Henrici heirs decided to sell the property to the highest bidder. The property went to inspector Eduard Schmidt and the place was counted among the knighthood, this had tax implications.

In 1865 the place had a mansion, a school, 33 residential and 31 farm buildings, as well as 323 residents in 76 families. The inhabitants were mostly Büdner and wage workers.

In 1865 there was also a residential area called Heinrichsruh, which consisted of a brick factory in the middle of the forest with a residential and a farm building. Only the bricklayer lived there with his wife. The living space did not belong to the knightly place Heinrichsruh, but to Torgelow.

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Müggenburg was incorporated.

The appearance of Heinrichsruh has changed since the political change. Streets, sidewalks and street lighting were renewed and a fairground was built. In addition, the place has now become an attractive address for the construction of single-family homes in natural locations. The demographic development of the place is positive due to the arrival of young families.

On May 25, 2014 Heinrichsruh was incorporated into Torgelow.
