history

War memorial for the 13 soldiers from Koblentz who died in the First World War.

Koblentz was first mentioned in a document in 1293 as "colbcutz" (Slavic for "salt meadow"). In the place that was later written as “Coblentz”, evaporated salt was probably extracted back then. A knight Friedrich von Eickstedt (✝1309) from the "castrum clempenowe" ( Rothenklempenow ) is mentioned as early as 1296 . While Koblentz was owned by the von Muckerwitz family as a fief from 1490 , it was returned to the von Eickstedt family, who were still resident in Rothenklempenow, in 1579 as a manor . Two years earlier, in 1577, a parish was mentioned in Koblentz. Towards the end of the 16th century, salt production in and around the place was stopped.

Since the fundamental administrative reform carried out in the Kingdom of Prussia in 1818 , with the reorganization of the provinces, administrative districts and districts, Koblentz belonged to the district of Ueckermünde in the administrative district of Stettin in the Prussian province of Pomerania from 1818 to 1950 . Around the middle of the 19th century, in the years 1853/54, Baron Rudolf von Eickstedt had the architect Friedrich Hitzig build a mausoleum in the classical style as a burial place for his family in Koblentz . After the collapse of the old Koblentzer Feldsteindorfkirche, the mausoleum was used as a village church from 1897 and until today (see below). In 1895 the manor was initially bought by the businessman and railroad entrepreneur Schweder ( "Randower Kleinbahn" ), but changed hands several times over the next few years and was finally sold in 1898 to the von Bülow family . The estate was owned by Adolf von Bülow until 1928. During the First World War from 1914 to 1918 Koblentz was not affected by combat operations or the effects of war. However, the place still had victims. By the end of the war, 13 soldiers from the town had died. In 1925 the municipality of Koblentz had 484 inhabitants, who were spread over 95 households. Around 1930 the district of Koblentz had an area of ​​28.3 km², and there were a total of 36 residential buildings in the following six different places of residence in the municipality:

1. Breitenstein
2. dam
3. Koblentz
4. Marienthal
5. Peterswalde
6. Forest peace

In 1939 there were 513 registered residents in Koblentz. In 1980 there were only 350. With the GDR district reform in 1950 , large parts of the Ueckermünde district, some communities in the Randow district, which existed from 1818 to 1939 and again from 1945 to 1950, and some communities in the Prenzlau district, which existed until 1950, became the new district Pasewalk was formed in the state of Mecklenburg , to which Koblentz also belonged. On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Marienthal was incorporated. Due to the dissolution of the states and the formation of the districts in the GDR in July 1952 , Koblentz continued to belong to the Pasewalk district and was part of the Neubrandenburg district until 1990 , despite the re-establishment of a Ueckermünde district in 1952 . In 1990, with German reunification, the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania was rebuilt for the second time after 1945. As a result of the district reform in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 1994, the three GDR districts Pasewalk , Ueckermünde and Strasburg were formed into the new district of Uecker-Randow , to which Koblentz belonged until 2011. As a result of another district reform in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 2011 , Koblentz has since been part of the newly formed district of Western Pomerania-Greifswald .

While the Koblentz manor house was destroyed by arson by the Soviet military in 1945, the mausoleum became the property of the Koblentz municipality by entry in the land register. Since November 2013 there has been a support association in the village that is committed to the preservation, renovation and maintenance as well as the cultural use of the mausoleum and the adjacent 1-hectare park. At the same time, the association publishes a monthly, one-page newsletter with the name “KOMA - News from the Crypt”, in which it reports on its activities around the mausoleum.

The architect Friedrich Hitzig made the design for the mausoleum . Inside the church there is a coffered ceiling over pillars. The pulpit altar from the earlier Koblentz village church dates from the 18th century and features richly carved cheeks and two female figures with coats of arms under the sound cover.
