Hohendorf is a district of the city of Wolgast in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (Germany). Until the end of 2011, Hohendorf was an independent municipality with the districts of Hohendorf, Schalense , Pritzier and Zarnitz.
Geography and traffic
Hohendorf is about three kilometers southwest of Wolgast , between the two places is the Ziesaberg . To the east of the village is the Peenestrom (arm of the Baltic Sea ), into which the Ziese flows. State road 26 and the Züssow – Swinoujscie railway line run through the village . The state road 26 crosses the federal road 111 at the exit to the village of Schalense.
history
14th to 18th century
Hohendorf was first mentioned in a document as Hogendorp in 1319. The name comes from the location of the original village center on the mountain, on which a church was built in the 13th century.
The area around Hohendorf was already settled earlier, which is proven by prehistoric finds.
In the 15th century Hohendorf belonged to the von Neuenkirchen family , who in turn sold the village to the nunnery in Krummin in 1473 . From the Thirty Years War until 1815, Hohendorf belonged to Sweden . King Gustav II Adolf , who died in the Battle of Lützen on November 16, was transported in a funeral procession through Hohendorf to Wolgast and later by ship to Sweden. After the Thirty Years' War, the Swedish General Conrad Mardefelt received the Pritzier estate with Hohendorf as thanks and compensation. He sold the property to Governor General Carl Gustav Wrangel in 1653 . From 1648 to 1854 Hohendorf remained the property of the Pritzier estate. As a result of the Napoleonic Wars , Hohendorf, like all of Swedish Pomerania, became part of Prussia. In 1694, Hohendorf was measured in the course of the Swedish land survey of Western Pomerania . Five farmers, including a village mayor, have been handed down from this period. Each farmer owned six horses, four oxen and four cows. In addition to the farmers, eight kossaets with one kotten lived in the village. They did their service both to the farmers and to the Pritzier farm.
In the Great Northern War (1700–1721) the Cossacks marched over the Wolgaster Landstrasse towards Wolgast. Archaeological research in the 1950s showed that they were not only mounted, but must also have carried wagons with them. In the decades that followed, the population was affected by hunger, looting and acts of war, for example in the Seven Years' War (1756–1763) and the Wars of Liberation (1813–1815).
19th century
With the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Hohendorf also came to Prussia . A land consolidation was carried out in which previously fragmented agricultural areas were merged. This improved the cultivation of animal feed, which laid the foundation for successful livestock farming . Nevertheless, a harsh winter in 1837 and a pest infestation in 1846 resulted in a famine. Already before 1835 a water mill was built to the southwest of the town center and corresponding mill ponds with dams were created. The mill is still partially preserved with the mill, house and barn, as well as the surrounding wall. The original mill pond directly in front of the mill was cut in half and the western part filled in when the railway line was built, which led directly through the pond. The rest of the pond was called the small mill pond, in front of it to the south the large mill pond was created in the mill quarry. Both supplied the mill with sufficient water to drive it. The ponds are still there, but because the mill is not in use, the water level has dropped and the ponds have become smaller. Up until 1920, two post mills were in place at the center of the mountain . In addition to the farmers, fishermen and craftsmen gradually settled in Hohendorf. Two roofers, five linen weavers, three bricklayers, a tailor, a shoemaker, a carpenter and a carpenter have come down to us from 1865. In 1855 today's B 111 was built from Wolgast to Gützkow . With the construction of the Züssow- Wolgast railway line , Hohendorf gained more and more importance with the emergence of spa tourism. In 1872 there was a severe storm flood in which houses were damaged and gardens and fields were devastated.
20th and 21st centuries
Another storm flood caused damage to the village when a dike broke on New Year's Eve 1904/1905 in Damerow . In 1910 a country inn opened in the village, and in 1928 a bakery. In a major fire on July 3, 1931, 25 buildings, including the school, were destroyed. After the end of the Second World War , the population in Hohendorf rose, as in almost all villages in Western Pomerania, due to the settlement of refugees and displaced persons .
On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Pritzier was incorporated.
In 1965 and 1966, large areas of the Peeneweisen were diked in order to further improve the conditions for agriculture. Hohendorf has been part of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania since 1990. In 1992 a commercial area was created, in 1998 the residential area on the Hohendorfer Berg. On January 1, 2012, Hohendorf was incorporated into Wolgast.
