history
Galenbeck belonged to Mecklenburg-Strelitz until the early 20th century .
Galenbeck
In 1277 the village was first mentioned in a document as Golenbeke , in 1392 "stede to Golenbeke". In the 13th century, the Brandenburg margraves had a border castle built to Pomerania on the west bank of Lake Galenbeck. The place arose around the Galenbeck Castle , which was located here and belonged to the von Rieben (or Riepen) family from 1408 until the expropriation in 1945 . The castle, which today only exists as a ruin, is located in the immediate vicinity of the former estate, 200 m southwest of the church on the edge of the marshy shores of Lake Galenbeck. The village church of Galenbeck was built at the end of the 14th century. In addition to the remains of the destroyed castle, the von Rieben family built the mansion as a half-timbered building in 1712.
In August 1760 Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher was taken prisoner after a battle with Prussian hussars. He was imprisoned in the Galenbeck manor house, where he signed his certificate of transfer to the Prussian Army.
On July 1, 1950, Galenbeck was incorporated into the municipality of Wittenborn.
Ruins of Galenbeck Castle
Friedrichshof
The district consists of a main street and a few single-family houses and the former estate northeast of the Brohmer reservoir . The estate belonged to von Rieben from 1749 to 1831 .
On July 1, 1950, Friedrichshof was incorporated into the municipality of Wittenborn.
Klockow
It was first mentioned in 1288. Gut Klockow belonged to the von Rieben family from 1470 to 1679 , and then to the von Oertzen family . August von Oertzen (1777-1837) was Minister of State of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. In 1838 the von Bülow family bought the estate. After the death of his parents, Carl von Bülow had a new mansion built. This was built in the neo-Gothic style around 1853 according to plans by the Wismar architect Heinrich Thormann . The three-storey central projection to the courtyard front is distinctive. Later, the manor temporarily served as a rectory.
Kotelov
The village, laid out as Angerdorf , appears for the first time in documents as Coytlowe in 1382 - the early Gothic village church of Kotelow already existed at that time. From 1466 to 1670 Kotelow belonged to the von Rieben family . Thereafter ownership passed to von Oertzen . Arndt Heinrich von Oertzen built the baroque manor house around 1773. The von Oertzen family remained owners until 1945. It was renovated until 2008 and has since been used as a hotel and registry office under the name Jagdschloss . The Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Festival was first held in 2009 in the Kotelow Hunting Lodge.
Luebbersdorf
The Lübbersdorf manor house was built in the 17th century in the Renaissance style on the walls of an old castle for the von Lübbersdorf family. In 1839 extensions were made. The estate was owned by Wilhelm von Oertzen around 1846. Another renovation took place in 1891. The estate was owned by the von Oertzen family until 1927, after which the estate was relocated. From 1927 the manor house was used as a nursing home for the elderly. From 1953, after a fire, the building was considerably renovated. Today the manor house is used as a DRK nursing home.
Pipe jug
Developed in the early 20th century from a post office on the road from Friedland to Strasburg (Uckermark) .
Sandhagen
The original village complex was in the 13th century near the Putzarer See, in the 18th century further south than Willershagen , today finally on the road from Friedland to Ferdinandshof . Only the field name Olle Dbodstell reminds of the former location.
Schwichtenberg
The original manor between Putzarer , Galenbecker and Lübkowsee came in the time of the Crusades to the Friedlander Mary's Church, and later to the city of Friedland. After a fire that completely destroyed the place, Schwichtenberg was rebuilt as a regular village at the end of the 18th century. From here in 1937 the first work to drain the Friedland Great Meadow by the Reich Labor Service began . The work was completed in 1962 as part of a so-called Central Youth Object of the FDJ . In 1999 a small section of the Mecklenburg-Pomerania narrow-gauge railway was reopened as a museum railway in Schwichtenberg and expanded until 2004.
Wittenborn
The place was first mentioned in 1337, the village church dates from the early 15th century. The estate belonged to the von Rieben families from 1703 to 1945.
On July 1, 1950, the communities Friedrichshof and Galenbeck were incorporated into the community of Wittenborn.

Attractions
- The castle, built in the 13th century in what is now Galenbeck in the Brohmer Mountains, was built in the name of the Brandenburg margraves on the Pomeranian border. The castle and the Stargarder Land belonged to Mecklenburg from 1304 . In the middle of the 15th century the castle was destroyed. The castle tower, which is steeply inclined because of the swampy subsoil, has survived as a ruin over the centuries. In addition, you can still find remains of foundation walls and ramparts.
