history

View of Kambs
The church in Kambs was mentioned as early as 1320

The first documented mention of the village of Kambs dates back to 1320. It explains that the Röbel provost office falls to the princes of Werle and, in return, Bishop Heinrich III. von Havelberg receives patronage over the Kambser Church . The church and the preacher's widow's house are about 50 years older than the mentioned document. The rule over Kambs changed several times between Brandenburg and Mecklenburg bishops.

The Kambser rectory was built in the 18th century, the manor house as a single-storey half-timbered house around 1800. The 1930s brought an increase in population due to the settlement of new farmers. In the former manor house in the Wildkuhl district, a living and working community that maintains an organic farm has its home today.

The municipality of Kambs, to which the district Wildkuhl belonged, was dissolved on June 7, 2009 and incorporated into Bollewick . The last honorary mayor of Kambs was Willi Wendt.

Economy and transport links

Kambs has always been shaped by agriculture. In the last few years a community center with a day-care center as well as a meeting place for children and young people has been built in a former outbuilding of the estate.
