history

Üselitz was first mentioned in 1311 as Uselitze . By exchange, Üselitz came from the possession of Duke Ernst Ludwig von Pomerania to Erich von Zuhm in 1562. During the construction of the previously unfinished manor house in the Renaissance style, which took place from 1580 onwards, the Zuhmian coat of arms was placed over the gates and doors . The burial place was in an associated hereditary burial. After the Zuhm had ruined the manor house, which was one of the most beautiful castles on the island, ownership changed several times, initially in 1644 to the families of ancestors , already in 1664 as a lean of grace to the Putbus and before the exit of the 17th century to that of Normann . In 1706, the ennobled Stettin councilor and merchant, Friedrich von Langen (1642–1718), acquired the estate in the same year . His family kept Üselitz until 1939. The last owner before the expropriation in 1945 was Burghard von Veltheim. The building continued to be used as a residential building during the 1950s and 1960s. In 1970, the roof of the building, which had been vacant since then, collapsed due to serious damage to the structure and the house fell into disrepair. Although it was added to the district monument list in 1975, the Stralsund riot police and the Bergen combat group misused the valuable house as a training object in the following years. The mansion is now privately owned. The first securing work began in 2000. The house has been completely refurbished since the end of 2017 and is used as an event location and rental property.

The area around the former manor house was prepared for flooding from 2006 as part of a renaturation project to compensate for the construction of the new Rügen bridge . The resulting Wiek existed in a smaller form until the 1930s and was drained. Just a short time after the flooding, the area has developed into a nationally important transit and resting area for water birds, waders and cranes . Thousands of ducks such as wigeons , mallards and tufted ducks as well as gray geese rest here . When the tide is low, wader species such as the lapwing and golden plover rest in the Wiek. A large colony of cormorants has established itself in the southwestern part of the Wiek.
