history

Kieshof expansion

This place was only laid out after 1920 according to the measuring table sheet from 1920. Whether it was built as a preliminary work of a property or as a new village after the settlement that was customary at the time cannot be said at the moment.

As an independent place, Kieshof expansion was only listed in the municipal lists in 1957, but with the name "Groß Kieshof expansion". In 1995 the name was changed to the current spelling. For the origin of the name, see → Groß Kieshof .

Performance

Leist was first mentioned in documents as Lestnice in 1207. It is a Slavic foundation with the name interpretation as a hazelnut bush . It was mentioned in the letter of appropriation from Rügen Prince Jaromars I to the Eldena (Hilda) monastery . Already in 1208 the Pomeranian Duke Casimir II confirmed this , there the place is called Lestniz . A late Wendish settlement has been archaeologically proven at Hof I.

After the Reformation, the farming village was assigned to the Office of Eldena in 1535 and in 1634 as a foundation of the Pomeranian Dukes of the University of Greifswald as property.

The place then split up into only four courtyards, which were about 1.5 km apart. Hof IV was given up shortly after 1816. The main settlement was at courtyard I, and individual courtyards II and III only became separate locations later. Hof I is located directly on Lake Koos, a bay in the Greifswald Bodden.

In 1865, Leist had 42 inhabitants in 22 families. The following buildings were available: 1 school, 8 residential buildings, 1 factory (mill) and 21 farm buildings.

Neuenkirchen

The place is possibly identical to the Slavic village Damme (also Dam and Dammer) mentioned in 1248, which means something like oak trees . In the document, Duke Wartislaw III confirmed. Hilda (Eldena) monastery took over possession of the village. The village was destroyed in feuds.

German immigrants then found a new location in the same place. Neuenkirchen was first mentioned in 1285 as Nienkerken (new church). In 1298 the place was converted from the Wendish village into a German Hägerdorf during the Hufen division.

The area remained in the possession of the Eldena monastery until secularization , then dominal, i.e. ducal possession, until it was donated to the University of Greifswald in 1634 by the last Pomeranian Duke Bogislaw XIV . The ten farms and small tenants have to pay rent and taxes to the university. 30 residents bought their homes from the university between 1816 and 1859. Of the 2633 acres in the village, 2343 owned the university and the remainder of 320 acres belonged to the church in Neuenkirchen.

In 1820 the pastor's daughter Alwine Wuthenow (1820–1908), née Balthasar, was born here in the local rectory . She later became a well-known Low German poet.

In 1865 Neuenkirchen had 546 inhabitants in 123 families. There were buildings: 1 church, 1 school, 40 residential buildings, 2 factories (windmills) and 75 farm buildings.

In addition to the farms and small tenants, a larger estate established itself according to MTB before 1920. To the north-west of the village there was already a shooting range for the Greifswald Uhlans before 1835, according to the Prussian Urmeß table sheet, and around 1900 a larger parade area for the same unit.

Due to the proximity to the city of Greifswald ("Speckgürtel"), the settlement of the official seat for the Landhagen office and the large industrial area with the shopping park, the number of inhabitants has almost doubled since 1990.

Oldenhagen

Oldenhagen is a German foundation and was only mentioned in 1865. The name means old forest . The village was originally just a single farm. The courtyard was laid out by the Greifswald University in 1867. Previously, Oldenhagen was a field name on the Swedish matriculation cards from 1694 and probably referred to a desolation from an older time.

Wampen

To the east and south-east of Wampen there are six late Slavic settlements (1000 to 1200) and a still recognizable small castle wall from the same period.

Wampen was first mentioned in a document as Wampand in 1207 . The Slavic name means decoy hunting . In 1207, Rügen prince Jaromar I had given the village to Hilda (Eldena) monastery.

After secularization , after a brief transition from 1459 to the Eldena office and then to the University of Greifswald.

In 1865 Wampen had 128 inhabitants in 22 families. The following buildings were available: 1 school, 6 residential buildings, 1 factory (probably a distillery) and 12 farm buildings. The village consisted of a large estate with a park and horticulture, as well as a planned row of cottages for day laborers - southeast of the estate. The estate had been owned by the Royal State University of Pomerania since 1459 . The manor house from around 1850 is in ruins.

Desolation

Damme (desert)

The place Damme was first mentioned in 1248 as Dammae , then in 1250 with Damme . For a long time it was unclear where the place, which then disappeared from the documents, i.e. probably soon became a desert, was. At first it was assumed that it was between Neuenkirchen and Wampen, or that it was a direct predecessor of Neuenkirchen. Then, however, the preservation of monuments was able to prove that the concentration of evidence of settlements from this late Slavic period in the area south of Wampen is the most likely location of the Damme desert.

Hankenhagen (desert)

Hankenhagen was first mentioned in 1618 as Hannekenhagen in the Lubin map. It was north of Kieshof and was called until 1809. In the Thirty Years War it was so badly destroyed that only the "Kieshof" remained from the settlement. This then became the center of the new location.

Hennekenhagen (desert)

Hennekenhagen was first mentioned in a document in 1267 as Hennichenhaghen . It was mentioned in a document until 1708. It was owned by the Eldena Monastery and fell in disrepair in 1633 according to an inventory report. It then came into the possession of the University of Greifswald in 1634 and then had the same career as name partner Hankenhagen.

elections

In the state elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 2016 , with a turnout of 60.8%, the SPD achieved 32.7%, the AfD 24.4%, the CDU 23.6%, DIE LINKE 13.2%, and the GREEN and FDP 4 , 8% and 3.8% of the second votes, respectively. Other parties were each below 2.0%. Confusion was initially caused by the fact that the right-wing extremist NPD had achieved its best result nationwide in the much smaller Neuenkirchen (near Anklam) . In Neuenkirchen near Greifswald, their share of second votes was only 1.3%.

coat of arms

Blazon : “Divided by blue and silver; above three golden squirrels seated in bars, each holding a golden nut in its paws; below a continuous black cross, in the middle covered with a golden ploughshare. " The coat of arms was designed by Michael Zapfe from Weimar . It was approved on October 15, 1998 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under the number 171 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Reasons for the coat of arms: In the coat of arms, the squirrels, borrowed from the coat of arms of the Wampen, who were wealthy in the Western Pomerania region and who belonged to the old patrician families of Greifswald, are supposed to indicate their place of origin Wampen. While the cross refers to the place name Neuenkirchen and at the same time symbolizes the village church built in 1285, the ploughshare stands for agriculture as the traditional main occupation of the inhabitants.
