history

Lindenberg (Rellin) arose from a Slavic castle from the 8/9. Century. The community was first mentioned as Rellin on January 31, 1283 as the property of Bishop Herman zu Cammin .

The current place Lindenberg used to consist of two field marks, the originally Slavic Rellin and the German settlement Lindenberg, which was added in the course of the German colonization in the east . The boundary between the two places was the excavation, as shown on the map of the Swedish survey of 1698. The village church, which is now part of Lindenberg, originally belonged to Rellin, as documented by documents from the 16th century that are now kept in the Greifswald State Archives. It was the actual village, while Lindenberg basically only consisted of the two ramparts east of the Augraben.

Until the death of Hans Voss in 1535, Lindenberg was the center of the manorial power of this noble family. As early as 1366, the Princes of Werle gave them the right to build a fortification in Lindenberg. Therefore, after the death of Hans Voss, a dispute broke out between the dukes of Mecklenburg and those of Pomerania over the inheritance, but the Pomerania won it. They formed a ducal office of Lindenberg from the possessions of the von Voss, to which (old) Kentzlin belonged as a second estate, but which was administered by an official or governor together with the possessions of the secularized Verchen monastery .

The Dukes of Pomerania-Wolgast , to whose territory Lindenberg belonged, rebuilt the old castle of those of Voss into a hunting lodge at the end of the 16th century, of which a contemporary description is available in the Voivodeship Archives in Szczecin . But only a little later, Duke Philipp Julius had to pledge the Lindenberg office to pay off the enormous debt to his court marshal Hans von Neuenkirchen . After his death it was taken over by his brother Christoph von Neuenkirchen and after his death it was divided among his heirs. At the time of the Swedish land survey in 1698, the ownership of the office was shared by the District Administrator Warnstett and a Mr. von Rieben . Smaller parts of the office had already gone to other pledge holders.

Only with the takeover of the area by Prussia in 1713 did this change and most of the office came back into royal possession. An overview of its holdings can be found in Brüggemann's description of the Duchy of Western Pomerania with the Prussian share of 1779.

The two districts of Hasseldorf and Krusemarkshagen have belonged to Lindenberg since around 1945. Lindenberg was on the border between the Prussian province of Pomerania and Mecklenburg-Schwerin .
