Liepen is a district of the municipality of Hohen Wangelin in the Mecklenburg Lake District in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .
geography
Liepen is located in the Mecklenburg Lake District in a landscape characterized by moraines . The area of the district Liepen joins directly to the Nossentiner / Schwinzer Heath on. The place is between the Great Liepener See , the Black Lake and the Kleiner Liepener See .
history
The settlement of the area goes back to the Slavic times. The place name Liepen is derived from the Slavic word for linden trees , which still characterize the place today.
The village came into the possession of the Malchow monastery in 1341 . From the end of the 16th century until well into the 20th century, Liepen housed an inn for almost 400 years .
While it belonged to Malchow Monastery, Liepen was still one of the largest settlements in the vicinity until the 18th century . However, over the past 200 years the population has decreased. In 1837 Liepen had 147 inhabitants, compared to 100 in 1939. The population is now under 50.
Liepen can be found as a point of reference in the Mecklenburg sagas, for example in the legend of the Scheidegänger between Liepen and Hallalit.
The custom of tapping the cock, which was practiced at Pentecost, has been passed down into the 19th century .
The village is the setting in novels and short stories by the writer Peter Jokostra , who ran a farm in Liepen in the 1930s. In Jokostra's last novel Back then in Mecklenburg , Liepen was given the name Liepowo , while he left the other topographical information unchanged.
In his work, Jokostra vividly describes the structure of the village with its 11 agricultural economic units, the so-called Hufen . This special structure had a lasting impact on the structure of the village. In contrast to the neighboring villages, there was no manor dominating the village structure in Liepen.
The Liepen community existed until 1950, when it was incorporated into the Hohen Wangelin community. As a result, the village school that had existed until then was also dissolved.
economy
Liepen is home to several farms. With Quintus GmbH, there is also a plant-cultivation test company in the village.
South of the village, Domapor Wohnbeton is a manufacturer of sand-lime brick and aerated concrete within the Liepen district.
Unlike in many other rural regions in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , tourism does not play a role.
