history

The village is of Slavic origin and was previously spelled Lapze. The name could be derived from the Slavic lapa = claw, bear moss or from lapica = trap .

At the time of the Slavic colonization of Mecklenburg, there was a large castle complex of the Lutizen tribal association , "with an unusually large number" of residents. This is perhaps the Grapenwerder and / or the Fischerwall just a few hundred meters away , another testimony from that time. It is highly probable that both settlements existed parallel to each other in their heyday, which could also explain the location and the size described in the scanty sources.

According to old traditions, Lapitz already had a village church in 1326. After 1900, almost the entire village was rebuilt, for example the manor house including an older building in 1908, the church in 1914, and most of the village houses before and after the First World War . The development of the village is closely related to the history of the Neumann family, who acquired the estate in 1814 . The previous owners were the von der Lancken family from 1788 to 1811 and Hofrat Siemerling from 1811. The estate was then developed into a seed multiplier.

After the First World War, the Puchow and Lapitz landowners built a small train to the Penzlin loading station. During this time the paved road with a ravine to Penzlin was built.

In the 1930s, the modernization of the economy continued, for example with the use of the first combine harvesters and the residential buildings with sanitary facilities. Since 1862 there has been running water from the salt lake in Lapitz, which in Mecklenburg at that time was to be regarded as extremely progressive. After the Second World War , many displaced people came to the place and found a new home here. Agriculture is still decisive for the economic development of the place.

On January 1, 2012, the previously independent municipalities of Krukow , Lapitz and Puchow merged to form the municipality of Kuckssee.
