history

Kölpin was given the same name in 1589 and from 1911. It is not identical to the place Kölpinsee, although the names have a similar origin. The name is interpreted as "swan". The place was named from 1267 to 1901 with "Regezo" (1829 and in PUM 1835) and "Regezow". Why Kölpin appears in between with 1589 is unclear, because this naming is based on a source (Koser) from 1672. Regezow is specified in Niemeyer as a desert with an imprecise location, but, as said, is an identical location and form in the PUM (Prussian original table sheet) of 1835 like today's place Kölpin. A previously undocumented renaming between 1901 and 1911 can be assumed.

Kölpin is, according to the measurement table sheet of 1920, an estate village with the small but dominant estate and the agricultural worker data line. Not much of the estate has survived today, only the estate park is still as extensive as it was 100 years ago. Kölpin has a small port on the Peenestrom and several holiday homes.
