history

Evangelical village church from 1803

Old Lutheran Church from 1830

Presumably in the 8th century, an uninhabited refuge was built by the Slavs in the then swampy area on the Glinze , about 600 meters north of today's Jabel, and the place apparently had a strategic importance. Today the remains of a castle rampart with a diameter of about 100 meters and a moat can still be seen. The place is now called Seven Brothers , because of an old population of trees with a remarkable ash tree , which is divided into seven large trunks . In the 12th century Albrecht I (Brandenburg) , known as Albrecht the Bear , conquered the area and the castle fell into disrepair. During the Thirty Years' War the swamp castle is said to have served as a hiding place for marauding mercenaries.

The name Jabel , which comes from Slavic, was first mentioned in a document in 1418 and is said to indicate a small green or wild apple . The village has roughly the shape of a round shape open to the southwest . Jabel has two churches as a specialty. On the village green is the Protestant village church, built around 1803, a plastered building in the style of the Prussian rural school with a rare roof shape. It is a hipped roof in the form of a rafter roof . In the tower hangs a bell from the Middle Ages, the furnishings date from the 16th and 19th centuries. The portative , a portable organ, dates from 1870 and was bought with a grant from the Prussian government amounting to 170 thalers .

The second Jabel church is an old Lutheran church that was built from 1830. Despite the by King Friedrich Wilhelm III. supported and forcibly enforced Union of Lutherans and Reformed and the agendas dispute , the old Lutherans in Jabel received a plot of land at Dorfstrasse 1 and built it with the church, a rectory and a farm building until 1851. A special feature of the church building is a classical cast iron stove.

From 1912 until it was closed in 1967, Jabel had a stop on the Kremmen – Meyenburg railway line .
