history

local community

After the administrative reform in 1815, Loddin came to the Prussian province of Pomerania and from 1818 to 1945 belonged to the district of Usedom-Wollin . From 1945 to 1952, the municipality, with the part of the district of Usedom-Wollin that remained in Germany after the Second World War , formed the district of Usedom in the state of Mecklenburg . This was in 1952 in the district of Wolgast in District Rostock on. The municipality has belonged to the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania since 1990, and from 1994 to September 3, 2011 it belonged to the district of Ostvorpommern , which then became part of the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald .

Loddin

The Loddin area was settled early on. During the construction of an industrial area, a Bronze Age (1800 to 600 BCE) settlement area was discovered.

Loddin was first mentioned in 1270 as "Lodino". The name is derived from the Slavic term for salmon and means something like "village on the salmon bay".

In a document dated March 15 of this year, the Bishop of Cammin , who owned Loddin, exchanged this village with five other communities on Usedom ( Ückeritz , Balm am Balmer See , at the request of Duke Barnim I of Pomerania-Stettin) Mellenthin , Suckow and Krienke ) against Damerow in Western Pomerania (near Naugard ), which had belonged to the Premonstratensian monastery Grobe near the city of Usedom. In 1309 this moved to Pudagla .

Loddin had the structure of a street village and in function it was a fishing and farming village. Then the place slowly developed into a holiday and recreation village.

On June 1, 1911, Loddin received the touristically important railway connection with stops in Kölpinsee and Stubbenfelde .

In the 1920s and 30s, the small seaside resort was a meeting place for UFA film stars such as Willy Fritsch , Lilian Harvey , Grethe Weiser , Anny Ondra and Hans Söhnker in the Hotel Seerose , which opened in 1897 and still exists today .

After 1990 the village expanded significantly and is already connected to the Kölpinsee village in the development. Above all, there are holiday homes and, in the core town, hotels, restaurants and other holiday facilities. There is only one small boat harbor, because the shallow water off Loddin and the coastal reeds prevent the expansion of a marina.

Kölpinsee

Kölpinsee was mentioned in 1421 as "Culpin". The name means "swan". With the name Kölpinsee, the place was mentioned in the table sheet of 1880 and 1906 in the place directory.

Stubbenfelde

In 1825, the farmer Johann Laban from Ückeritz received a cleared piece of forest from the Pudagla Forestry Office as compensation and called it his "Stubbenfeld". In 1854 Stubbenfelde was officially named as "Stubbenfeld" for the first time.

Culpin (desert)

Culpin was first mentioned as such in 1421. In 1618 it was mentioned as "Calpin" on the Lubin map. It is said to have been located on the Kölpinsee and was totally burned down in the Thirty Years War. The Slavic founding name is interpreted with "swan" and in connection with the lake as "swan pond". The place belonged to the Pudagla Monastery.

The desert is now equated with the district of Kölpinsee. → see there

politics

coat of arms

	Blazon : "In blue a golden tree stump, above it two diagonally crossed golden ears between two soaring, facing silver pikes." The coat of arms was designed by Michael Zapfe from Weimar . It was approved on December 17, 1998 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under the number 177 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
	Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms combines a speaking symbol and figures typical for the municipality, which symbolize the economic structures in the past and present. The tree stump is a speaking symbol for the district of Stubbenfelde, the pike for fishing in the backwaters and the ears of wheat for agriculture.
