history

Lehsten was first mentioned in a document on July 13, 1326 on the occasion of the dedication of the St. Nicolai Church as Leistenn . The church or chapel was destroyed in the Thirty Years War . All that was left was a bell that hung on the schoolhouse at the beginning of the 20th century, but is now lost. The place was laid out as a round around a pond, a shape that is still easily recognizable today. Only three residents survived the Thirty Years War. Around 1755 the place was divided. As part of the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin , the greater part of the Domanialamt Stavenhagen was administered directly by the ruling house and consisted of three districts:

  • Lehsten, Büdnerdorf (also Lehsten, Dorf) Koord. , About 400 people lived here at times, including over 30 Büdner
  • Lehsten, Lehsten (also Lehsten, Hof, Domain) Koord.
  • Lehsten, Bauerberg (later Bauernberg) coord.

Another part was administered by the lower nobility and belonged to the knighthood office of Neustadt :

  • Lehsten (later also Adlig-Lehsten, Hopfenberg, Hoppenbarg) Koord.

Ecclesiastically all parts of Lehsten were parish off to Groß Varchow .

With the territorial reform of 1992 Lehsten municipality was in the office of Möllenhagen . On March 7, 1994, the place was incorporated into the municipality of Möllenhagen.
