Possessions

Siggelkow was one of the oldest fiefdoms of the Koppelows .

Ivenack Castle

On March 3, 1468, Duke Heinrich von Mecklenburg enfeoffed the Vicke from Koppelow zu Siggelkow with the village sites and field marks Möllenbeck, Repzin and Menzendorf [..] in the Bailiwick of Marnitz . Vicke von Koppelow was from 1458 to 1468 and probably later ducal Vogt of Marnitz and Neustadt. Vicke had an important office, as he had to guard two important castles against the Märker in those troubled times. From this enfeoffment until 1822, the von Koppelow family owned the Möllenbeck estate with Repzin.

In 1592 there was a confirmation of ownership in Koppelow, Mentin and Möllenbeck and in 1600 in Siggelkow. In 1718 the family owned in Mecklenburg zu Ivenack . Ernst Christoph von Koppelow (1659–1721) had Ivenack Castle built after 1709 on the foundations of a Renaissance complex. In the Kingdom of Denmark, Major Jørgen Johan Koppelow owned the small Vindebygård on Lolland, and Major General Gottfried von Koppelow was buried in Haraldsted Church in 1775. In the middle of the 19th century, Schlaborn (today part of Rheinsberg ) in the Ruppin district in the province of Brandenburg was owned or partially owned by the Koppelow.
