Location of Ticino in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

Ticino is part of the municipality of Wittendbod in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .

Geographical location

The village of Ticino (officially Ticino near Wittenburg until the new community was formed on June 13, 1999 ) in Mecklenburg lies east of the Ratzeburg Lake District and 7.5 km west of Wittenburg . Geologically, Ticino is located exactly at the transition from the terminal moraine to the sander of the last glacial series , which shaped the landscape of northern Germany.

history

The Wendish settlement Ticino (old. "Place des Têša") was first mentioned in 1230 in the Ratzeburg tithe register and at that time belonged to the diocese of Ratzeburg . The villages organized according to German law, whether inhabited by Slavs or German settlers who were called into the country, had to pay property taxes, the so-called " tithes ", to the bishop in Ratzeburg. In turn, the bishop lent this tithe to his feudal men. The tithe awarded were then recorded in the register. Bishop Gottschalk awarded the tenth of 5 of the 10 full farmer positions in Ticino to the Slavic nobleman Herrmannus de Bluchere, i.e. Herrmann von Blücher . The village belonged to the von Blücher family until 1616.

From 1567 to 1759 the Ticino manor changed hands five times, after which it was owned by the von Husan family, from 1779 owned by the von Lützow family until 1888, which also owned the Dreilützow, Groß Salitz and Schönwolde estates and in 1789 the lands of Raguth bought it.

In 1835 the manor house Schloss Tessin with its imposing observation tower , the Katzenturm, and a landscaped castle park, was built by the von Bülow family .

In 1921 the manor came into the possession of Count Isenberg until it was sold to the Reich Resettlement Society in 1938. The surrounding lands were divided up by her for the resettlement of German farmers. Ticino Castle became the home of Mr. von Kumrowski, a shipowner from Hamburg. After the expropriation in 1945, Ticino Castle was used as a hospital until 1954. From 1954 to 1971 the property belonged to the Archdiocese of Wroclaw and was headed by nuns of the Elisabethinen . After nationalization in 1971, Ticino Castle housed a nursing home for the mentally ill and an old people's home until 1990.

After this eventful history, the entire building was reconstructed and completely refurbished between 1991 and 1995 with considerable effort. It is now used as a specialist clinic for drug addicts .

"On the sovereign decree of June 18, 1819, the first general census for population statistics purposes in the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin was carried out in August 1819." According to this census there were 236 inhabitants in Ticino and on December 1, 1910 about 195 inhabitants. Due to the resettlement measures (1937-1939) and the wave of refugees ( Bessarabia , Sudetenland , East Prussia ) at the end of the Second World War until 1948 there was again a significant increase in the number of inhabitants to around 450, of which 252 were resettlers. In 2012 there are again considerably fewer due to moving away.

From 1937 to 1939, eleven families relocated to Ticino because of the construction of the Baumholder military training area (Aulenbach camp) and seven families because of the expansion of the Senne military training area . Some returned to their old homeland after a short time because they did not feel at home in Ticino.

On May 2, 1945, Ticino near Wittenburg was occupied by American troops and just four weeks later the American occupiers handed the area over to the British occupation forces. After the resolutions of the Crimean Conference , British-occupied areas in Mecklenburg were ceded to the Soviet occupying power for the British occupation sector in Berlin (area adjustment) and on July 2, 1945, Ticino near Wittenburg, Hagenow district, became a Soviet occupation zone.

It didn't take long for this occupying power to leave its mark. The Soviet headquarters in Hagenow ordered the main building of the two horse stables in front of the Ticino manor house to be torn down so that the fire-red brick could be used for the repair and construction of buildings in the old Wehrmacht barracks in Hagenow, which became the Soviet garrison .

The horse statue, which was located on the entrance portal of the horse stable, was given to the Redefin Stud by order of the commandant's office in 1946 , where it was erected in front of the Schwemme after 1960 .

Ticino has belonged to the Wittendbod community since 1999 . This is administered by the Wittenburg Office based in the city of Wittenburg .

economy

In 1230 the village is listed in the Ratzeburg tithe register with a size of 10 farmers' hooves (approx. 139 hectares) . The farmers were dependent on the estate because they were not in possession of the agricultural machines, but to use them they had to do two manual and camper services a week. Manual services were farm and field work without the help of carts of oxen or horses. In addition to the peasants, there were also the Kossaten , wage laborers without possessions. They were employed on the estate as seasonal workers or all year round from sunrise to sunset and, in addition to accommodation and food, received a weekly wage of around one thaler . Hourly wages were also available for particularly hard work. The farmers were assigned up to eight kossats .

The estate lived on its agricultural and forestry income.

At the end of the 19th / beginning of the 20th century, the typical Mecklenburg estate was mainly characterized by its horse breeding. Two large horse stables in the immediate vicinity of the castle and the large field barn shaped the village. There was also a large estate gardening shop (Schröder), a cartwright (Wegner), a blacksmith's shop (Plihal), the estate hunter (Schröder), a fore-cutter, a Schweitzer and an estate-Vogt as administrator.
