history

Karnin was first mentioned in a document on September 25, 1242, when Duke Witzlaw I of Rügan confirmed the sale of the village of Karnin to Magister Iwanus. The place name probably comes from the Slavic locator Karna, so it could mean place of Karna . In 1325 the country came to Pomerania . From 1480 the Kragewitzens owned the place Karnin.

In the Thirty Years' War , Karnin was plundered and robbed during the siege of Stralsund. With the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, Karnin came to Swedish Pomerania .

From 1815, like all of Western Pomerania, Karnin belonged to Prussia. Gut Karnin and Gut Zimkendorf were owned by Ludwig von Sodenstern and then Friedrich Wilhelm von Sodenstern, descendants of Swedish court officials, since 1759; In 1847 it was inherited by the von Pachelbel-Gehag family. In the middle of the 19th century, the Karnin manor - with over 1,300 hectares of land one of the largest possessions in Western Pomerania - still included the Friedrichshof, the Dabitzer Wiese, two farms in Rubitz and the island of Barther Oie .

In 1876 the royal sold. Rittmeister a. D. von Pachelbel-Gehag bought the entire manor for a price of 771,000 marks to Wilhelm Heinrich Henning, a law student at the time.

Wilhelm Henning expanded the manor house with a coach stable and had five farm workers' houses, eight stables and a school with a restaurant built around 1906. Because of their ensemble character, the buildings were already listed as a historical monument during the GDR era.

The Friedrichshof is a Vorwerk with its own manor house, a smaller baroque building. Wilhelm Henning had it built for his brother-in-law, the Rittmeister of the Reserve Schmidt, together with the other buildings on Karnin.

His son Wilhelm Gustav Christian Henning died of lung cancer in 1942. His widow Renate Henning, b. Musculus, was expropriated without compensation on September 29, 1945 during the land reform and was permanently expelled from the village with her eight underage children and the two-year-old daughter of her fallen brother. In the following years she had to stay at least 20 km away from Karnin and died in the spring of 1946 in Stralsund from the effects of starvation edema. Their children were scattered all over Germany, the generation of direct grandchildren include the Bundestag member Hubertus Heil and the physicist Peter Henning

The community was part of the Franzburg-Barth district until 1952 and then belonged to the Stralsund district in the Rostock district until 1994 . Karnin has been part of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania since 1990.

Listed cottage

Karnin Castle

The two-story castle was built in 1830 for Friedrich Wilhelm von Sodenstern in a combination of English Tudor style and German neo-Gothic .

The castle had 26 furnished rooms. The hall was equipped with hunting trophies and old oak furniture, the windows with Saufedern framed on the wall there was a painting of hunting Lilliefors. The “Blue Salon” was decorated with a baroque seating group, two large mirrors and valuable fine wood furniture, and a painting by Douzette hung on the wall . The library, with around 10,000 volumes, contained a large pool table. One of the guest rooms had a tiled stove made of Meissen porcelain . Valuable harnesses with silver fittings were stored in a saddle room on the first floor

On the evening of May 1, 1945, the castle was occupied and looted by Red Army soldiers , refugees passing through destroyed and stole the rest of the facility.

The tower of the castle was damaged by an explosion in 1945 and demolished in the 1950s. In 1975, when the roof was rebuilt, all battlements were removed and the slate covering was replaced by tiles, so that in the current state little is reminiscent of the original architecture.

Right next to the mansion is the former coach stable with a stork's nest, built around 1900.

Castle Park

The original palace park was laid out by Friedrich Wilhelm von Sodenstern when the mansion was built. The existing tree population was included. The old bullet trap wall of a shooting range from the Swedish times can still be found in this Karnin forest. When the park was expanded, the stream - the Ulenbäk - was deepened, so that ponds were created (today located on both sides of the federal highway 105).

The excavation was heaped up to form a ring wall-like structure, which was named Heaven and Hell .

In 1858 the park was redesigned by Peter Joseph Lenné . In the 19th century, the Karnin Forest and the ponds that can be navigated by boats were popular excursion destinations.

The two bronze deer at the entrance to the palace gardens were last seen by witnesses in the Russian commandant's office in Neubrandenburg .
