from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lubin (German Lebbin ) is a settlement in the Powiat Gryficki of the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship and forms a village within the Gmina Gryfice (German Greifenberg in Pomerania ).

Geographical location

The settlement is located in Western Pomerania , about 6 kilometers southeast of Gryfice ( Greifenberg ) and 92 kilometers northeast of the regional metropolis of Stettin, immediately west of the Rega or Lebbin dam (today Jezioro Rejowickie ).

Place name

The place name probably goes back to the Wendish "ljub" = "lovely" or the Polish "luby" = "dear".

history

Lebbin (also called Lubbin or Kirchen-Lebbin ) with castle wall was originally a land and church forest of the St. Marien Church in Greifenberg together with Kirchen-Batzwitz and Batzwitz . Their history was initially directly linked. Both places formed an independent village of noble origin ( Adlig-Batzwitz ).

Due to the bustling trade in the city of Greifenberg, the area around Lebbin, which at that time probably belonged to Batzwitz, was a profitable area for robberies of the local knighthood in the 14th century. In order to stop the robberies, the knight Sifridus Lode zu Batzwitz ceded an area of ​​half an acre on both sides of the road from Plathe to Greifenberg to the city after a settlement with the city council of Greifenberg (1316). Part of it (east of the path) later probably became part of an 'urban' Lebbin. During the 14th century the Lode family withdrew from the western Rega area. At the end of the 14th or the beginning of the 15th century, the Batzwitz property was already divided when the St. Marien Church in Greifenberg acquired shares as a pledge . In 1410 W. and H. von Manteuffel pledged their share in Batzwitz from three farms (with the farmers Hinze Borchard, Claves Schinkel, Lydeke Zitzemer) for 310 marks to the St. Mary's Church in Greifenberg. According to tradition, the church Lebbin and castle belonged to a Lord von Lebbin who, after a wild life, bequeathed his property to the church. This tradition coincides with Wilke and his son Heinrich von Manteuffel. Wilke, originally a knight and mercenary of the Crusaders (1401–1410), sold shares of his property as early as 1409. It can therefore be assumed that these farms were the 'Lebbin' part. These farms were no longer redeemed, but according to the document of Bogislaw IX. from 1437, the Manteuffel'schen shares to the church and the council of the city of Greifenberg sold or enfeoffed .

In 1442 the village , which covered an area of ​​18 Hufen , is mentioned in documents as Lubbyn . The Greifenberg Marien Church held three Hufen shares in this. Further shares held the parish , the Kapellanat (income) as well as the vicariums St. Martin, St. Katharina, St. Bartholomäus and St. Johannes as foundations .

With the beginning of the Reformation , the church property was leased to citizens of Greifenberg , but they neglected them to such an extent that Lebbin was referred to as a desert field mark or Lebbiner field mark in 1537 . The church did not give up its property, however, and as a result of the lease period in the Thirty Years' War , the city of Greifenberg approved the temporary construction of a Vorwerk on the desert field in 1641 , but without owning the place itself. The city only reserved jurisdiction and part of the Lebbin income . The vast forests around Lebbin ( the Lebbin ) continued to be cultivated exclusively by the church.

Towards the end of the 18th century, Lebbin, also known as the Lebbin at the time , included a wooden vault (forester's house) in addition to the three fireplaces and was parish in Batzwitz. From 1808 the church leased the Vorwerk for an annual long lease in succession to various estate operators . Since 1850 Lebbin was united with the city of Greifenberg and until 1858 it formed its own manor district , which shortly thereafter became an independent church property again . About 80 people lived in Lebbin at that time. In 1937 Lebbin was part of the administrative district of Stettin as a rural community of Batzwitz . The Rackow family was the last landowner until World War II .

Castle wall

The name Burgwall , according to other sources also Königstuhl or Schlosswall , comes from church registers from 1594. The place is located directly on the former Greifenberger Feldmark, where the Hechtbeke (also Hechtfließ ) flows into the Rega. The wall , originally of Wendish origin, is said to have been the site of a castle in the Middle Ages.

Stories and legends

According to tradition, a robber knight later built a castle for himself in Lebbin am Königstuhl, from where he attacked Greifenberg's commercial traffic several times until the citizens of the city of Greifenberg conquered the robbery and completely destroyed it. The destruction was so thorough that not even a trace of the foundation remained. The old castle wall with the moat is still clearly recognizable in its entire extent. The castle wall was classified as a cultural monument until 1945 and was part of the so-called castle hill or castle forest .

According to a legend

"[...] a gigantic damsel still strides with the bunch of keys clinking over the wall at night, or drives through the forest in a car, and the place is notorious among the hunters because they are aped there by deceptive apparitions. A rusty sword tip that was excavated here is kept in the forester's house in Lebbin. "
