history

Hohen Pritz

Hohen Pritz was first mentioned in a document in 1256 as Pritutsen , when Prince Pribislaw II von Parchim-Richenberg gave his chaplain Jordan the parish of Wamckow with the daughter church Hohen Pritz. In 1346 Iwan von Below is said to have lived in Hohen Pritz. From the end of the 16th century to the middle of the 17th century, the von Bülow had sat on Hohen Pritz, followed by Johann Lüder von Dessin and Klaus von Parkentin . From 1766 the village belonged to the ducal chamber and from 1849 to the grand ducal house estates.

The name comes from the Old Slavic word prêtokŭ for flow and means flow place .

Klein Pritz

Klein Pritz was named as Lutken Prittitz in 1306 when Heinrich von Mecklenburg compared the Sonnenkamp monastery with Gerhard von Cramon auf Klein Pritz because of the fishing on Lake Nepersmühlen . Close to Klein Pritz, on a peninsula in the Kleinpritzer See, a castle is said to have stood. These are said to have been built by the nobles of Pritzbur. The remains of a castle were never found, but according to a legend, a white lady is said to show herself here.

Klein Pritz was incorporated into the Kukuk community on July 1, 1950.

Kukuk belonged to the domanium in the 19th century and owned a leaseholder with the water mill, also called Kukusmühle. In addition eight Büdner, nine cottagers, a fishery tenant and a Schulzen.
