Location of Jamel in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

Jamel is a district of the municipality of Gägelow in the district of Northwest Mecklenburg .

geography

The place is in hilly terrain around six and a half kilometers south of the Wohlenberger Wiek at the southwestern end of the municipality of Gägelow. To the west, the landscape rises to the 113-meter-high Heideberg, which is already on the boundary of Barendorf (city of Grevesmühlen ). The place borders on the large lake with no outflow with an area of ​​1.9 hectares.

The only connecting road leads to Gressow, about one and a half kilometers away, on federal highway 105 .

history

The village is first mentioned in the Ratzeburg tithe register from 1230 as Jamene . The name is of Slavic origin. After the entry in the tithe register, the village, consisting of six courtyards, belonged to the parish of Gressow. In five cases the dues of the courts were due to the bishop of Ratzeburg , in one case to a Gottschalk .

On July 9, 1931, the community expanded to include the Sternkrug district located south of the connecting road from Wismar to Grevesmühlen (today's B 105). On July 1, 1950, Jamel and Wolde were incorporated into Gressow, which in turn was incorporated into Gägelow in 1961.

Right-wing extremism in Jamel

Since 1992 Jamel has been mentioned repeatedly in connection with right-wing extremism . At that time, around 120 neo-Nazis celebrated Adolf Hitler's birthday there at Easter and hoisted the Reich war flag . Since then, some residents, both original and new, have been evicted by arson.

In the village, a sign pointed to Braunau am Inn , Königsberg and “Vienna / Ostmark ”, among other places , and a sign with the inscription “Dorfgemeinschaft Jamel, free - social - national” was placed on a boulder . The signpost and sign were removed in February 2011 on the instructions of the Mayor of Grevesmühlen. When they were replaced a short time later, the Schwerin Administrative Court ruled in April 2011 that both had to be removed for good because of sedition . The property owner filed a lawsuit against this, which the Schwerin Administrative Court ruled in his favor in 2013.

The nationally known NPD politician Sven Krüger had his demolition company in Jamel . The mayor of Gägelow described Jamel in 2007 as a village that had been given up.

The 2004 from Hamburg-St. Pauli , the couple Horst and Birgit Lohmeyer received the Paul Spiegel Prize for civil courage on May 12, 2011 , the Georg Leber Prize for civil courage from IG BAU on August 29, 2015 and the special 1Live Krone award on December 6, 2018, each for the Jamel music festival , which they have organized annually since 2007 , which is directed against racism and xenophobia and is under the patronage of the Prime Minister of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

On the night of August 12, 2015, the barn of their listed property, Forsthof Jamel , burned down, presumably due to arson . From the remains of the burned down barn, the Swiss artist Harry Schaffer erected a field of stelae as a memorial and the so-called “Pyromide”, inaugurated in August 2016.

In the summer of 2015, Michel Abdollahi built a wooden hut on a lawn in the village for a month for a panorama documentary with the aim of engaging in conversation with the residents. In particular, there were decidedly casual conversations with the “village chief” Sven Krüger, which were also captured on camera. Abdollahi received the German Television Prize for this .
