history

Kemnitz

Village street in Kemnitz

Kemnitz was in 1207 for the first time as Kaminicez in a document of Rügen Prince Jaromar I called. He hands over 1209 villages, including Kemnitz, to the Hilda (Eldena) monastery. The place is a Slavic foundation, which is also evidenced by the name Kaminitz = stone.

In 1208 the Pomeranian dukes Casimir II and 1218 Bogislaw II confirm the donation from the Prince of Rügen. The Prince of Rügen had extended his area of ​​influence to the Peene , as he was a liege-taker of the Danish king, who also had feudal rule over Pomerania at times. In 1248 a watermill on the Kemnitz (Kaminitz = Steinbach) was first mentioned in a document, in 1280 four watermills were already mentioned.

The village was a parish and church village and continued to be owned by the monastery. After the Reformation and secularization , it first became dominal, but was then given to the University of Greifswald by Duke Bogislaw XIV in 1634 . It stayed that way until about 1865. The Feldmark was divided into 3 leasehold farms, as well as the mill properties, the jug and the forge with leasehold lands.

In 1865 Kemnitz had 245 inhabitants in 55 families. The following buildings were available: 1 church, 1 school, 23 residential and 42 farm buildings, as well as 4 factories (1 forge, 3 mills).

The watermill burned down in 1894. In the 21st century, a millstone on the village street commemorates them .

Kemnitzerhagen

Kemitzerhagen

Kemnitzerhagen was first mentioned in documents as Kemenitserhagen in 1386 . The current name was first recorded in 1646. It is interpreted by name as a clearing settlement belonging to Kemnitz. Kemnitzerhagen is, as the name suggests, an early German foundation, a Hagendorf (clearing village). According to Schwarz, it is said to have been given to the Eldena monastery by the Counts of Gützkow in 1281. Otherwise information on the old days is missing. It was not known until 1634 that Bogislaw XIV gave the place and land to the University of Greifswald.

The place had two parts, Kemnitzerhagen Hof and Dorf. In 1865 the farm was a Vorwerk , which in 1920 was designated as a good according to the measurement table and in 1865 had: 143 inhabitants in 25 families, 10 residential buildings, 1 factory and 19 farm buildings. In 1865 the village had 121 inhabitants in 20 families, 1 school, 1 public building (administration), 7 residential buildings, 1 factory and 17 farm buildings. 1 windmill belonged to the farm and 1 watermill to the village. The watermill is said to have been built by the Hilda monastery as a paper mill, it was converted into a grinding mill in modern times, but no longer exists in the 21st century, only the mill pond with a backlog is still there, only changed in shape and size.

Kemnitz dairy

Kemnitz-Meierei was shown for the first time in the topographic maps around 1920. It was a Vorwerk to Gut Kemnitzerhagen, it was first referred to as "Hof II". The then still existing "Hof I" - also called Müller's farm - south of Kemnitz is now desolate.

Neuendorf

Near Neuendorf there are two archaeological sites, a Germanic settlement and a fire grave field from the Roman Empire (0 to 400), as well as a late Slavic settlement with an associated urn grave field on the Kessiner Berg am Piepenbusch. Both document the early settlement of the area.

Neuendorf was mentioned in a document in 1281 as "Nigendorp". How dozen new villages were founded in early German times during the eastward expansion. Like Kemnitz and Kemnitzerhagen, it is owned by the Hilda (Eldena) monastery and from 1634 onwards it was named as belonging to the University of Greifswald. Neuendorf had an old fulling mill.

Because of its affiliation to the University of Greifswald, the place was called "Akademisch Neuendorf" in the measurement table sheets.

In 1865 Neuendorf had 132 inhabitants in 22 families, 8 residential buildings, 1 factory and 23 farm buildings. The factory building was a windmill, but it was removed before 1920.

Neuendorf had been affected by the Kleinbahn-Gesellschaft Greifswald-Wolgast (KGW) since 1897 , which was dismantled in 1945 as a reparation .

Rappenhagen

Dorfstrasse in Rappenhagen

Rappenhagen was first mentioned in a document in 1265 as "Regenbotenhagen" and in 1305 as "Rebdenhagen". The latter mention is recorded when the Count von Gützkow mediated between the monastery Eldena (Hilda) and the knight Blixen because of possessions there. In 1618 the name changed to "Rabenhagen" and only in 1735 to "Rappenhagen". The place is an early German Hagen foundation - place on the clearing.

According to their own statements, the manor had been in the possession of the von Wakenitz family since 1605, but this was not documented until 1819, because the manor only became a manor after serfdom was abolished in 1806.

In 1865 Rappenhagen had 124 inhabitants in 19 families. There were 7 residential and 10 farm buildings.

Schönefeld (desert)

Schönefeld was mentioned in a document in 1280 as "Schonenuuelde". The place has fallen desolate since around 1753. The location cannot be clearly identified, there are different variants. The place Neuendorf itself is presumed, but ground monument curator Hornemann suspected old Slavic settlements east of Neuendorf as local desertification Schönefeld.

Guisdoue (desert)

Guisdoue was first mentioned in 1207 as Gwisdoi . In 1250 the last name was "Guisdoue", after which the village fell into desolation. The location has not been precisely determined, again, ground monument curator Hornemann suspects the location at the archaeologically proven old Bronze Age or Slavic settlements east of Neuendorf. It is unclear whether Guisdoue is a predecessor of the Schoenefeld mentioned later or whether there are other connections. Guisdoue means something like "to whistle" - the presumed deserted site is located by the forest, which has the field name "Piepenbusch" (beep = to whistle). This justifies the name interpretation.

Neuendorf expansion (living space)

Neuendorf expansion was only recorded in the topographic maps in 1998. According to MTB, this settlement was laid out as a Vorwerk before 1920.

Nigehof (desert)

Nigehof was first mentioned in a document in 1281. It then also disappeared from the mentions. It is said to have been laid out between 1250 and 1280 as the foreworks of the Eldena monastery. Therefore Nigehof = new farm, a grangie of the monastery. It could have been in the area of ​​today's Neuendorf or Neuendorf extension and merged into them.

• One imperial and four Slavic settlements are recorded between Neuendorf and Stilow, as well as an urn grave field from the Slavic era. It is difficult to assign one of these documented places to one of the archaeological settlement sites.

Friedrichshagen

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Friedrichshagen was incorporated. In 1960 it was reclassified to Greifswald.

coat of arms

Blazon : “Divided by a wave cut; above, in blue, a flying silver crane with upright flight; below in silver a six-spoke, twelve-blade blue mill wheel. " The coat of arms and the flag were designed by the Schwerin heraldist Heinz Kippnick . It was approved together with the flag on May 23, 2007 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under the number 313 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Reasons for the coat of arms: The wave cut in the coat of arms is intended to symbolize the location of the communities on the Ziese and Kamnezbach streams as well as on the Danish cradle of the Greifswalder Bodden. The crane indicates the resting places of this protected bird species in the communal corridor, the mill wheel establishes the connection to the village handicraft, in particular to the water mills that once existed. The tinging refers to the affiliation of the municipality to the part of Western Pomerania.
