history

Church of St. Michael in Krummin

Crooked

Krummin was first mentioned in 1230 as "Crominino". The name is interpreted as bread slices - crust. The later St. Michael monastery church was built around 1250 . In 1290, Duke Bogislaw IV confirmed the patronage of the Church of Krummin, given by Duke Barnim I to Johann Voss , to his sons, Heinrich, Friedrich and Konrad. In the years 1302 and 1303 which was monastery Krummin as a branch establishment of the Cistercian nuns - monastery Wollin built. In 1305 the Krummin monastery was finally separated from its mother monastery. It was on the south side of the church.

After the Reformation of 1534 and the subsequent secularization , Krummin and his land were converted into a domain . During the Thirty Years War , 43 people died of the plague in the village and the monastery complex was partially destroyed. In 1675 the Swedish field marshal and statesman Carl Gustav Wrangel received the village as a gift. From the Thirty Years War to 1720 Krummin belonged to Swedish Pomerania and after the Peace of Stockholm came to the Kingdom of Prussia like the entire island of Usedom . In 1833 the village was bought by Heinrich Ludwig von Corswandt .

A stately manor with a manor house, farm buildings and a park was built by him and his successors. A Dutch windmill was built west of the village. The estate was expanded and modernized around 1880.

The village was now an anger village, but its shape tended towards a manor village, to the west the dominant estate, in the middle the church with the churchyard and the monastery buildings, which have now largely been cleared. To the south lay the fishing port and to the east the farm workers and fishermen's houses. There were only a few farms that were also very small.

That only changed with the land reform after 1945, first the small new farmers, then the LPG farms. Little by little the manor buildings disappeared, now only a few are recognizable. Only a part of the building remains of the manor house, but it has been lavishly converted into a holiday home. Apart from a few remaining trees, the estate park has also disappeared. The LPG buildings north of the village built after 1960 are now ruins or have already been cleared. Tourism has also expanded in the village, with restaurants, holiday apartments and the greatly enlarged sailing port.

On July 1, 2010, the parts to the north of federal highway 111 were handed over from the municipality of Krummin to the municipality of Mölschow. 23 inhabitants were affected on approx. 19.6 hectares.

Neeberg

Neeberg was first mentioned in 1230 as "Nebregome". In it, Bishop Conrad II of the Church of Bucow confirmed the tithe from some villages, including Neeberg. The name is interpreted as "guarding, preserving".

Neeberg was a small farming and fishing village, the shape of a round with a ring road. It was only after 1945, during the GDR era, that an extensive bungalow settlement was built east of the old village location. On July 1, 1950, Neeberg was incorporated. Little has changed since 1990.

Gnecov (desert)

Gnecov was first mentioned as such in 1230. It's the same as with Neeberg. The second and last mention comes with "Gneuchowe" from 1288. The Slavic name is interpreted as "Zorn".

The location has not been handed down, and there is no evidence in old maps either. The area north of Krummin is possible around where the new cemetery is now. As on the whole of Usedom, there is little archaeological evidence from the Slav period because hardly any linear excavations (such as roads, gas pipeline routes, etc.) were carried out.

Coat of arms, flag, official seal

The municipality has no officially approved national emblem, neither a coat of arms nor a flag . The official seal is the small state seal with the coat of arms of the region of Western Pomerania . It shows an upright griffin with a raised tail and the inscription "GEMEINDE KRUMMIN * LANDKREIS VORPOMMERN-GREIFSWALD".
