history

UBB stop in Mölschow-Bannemin

Banemin

Bannemin was first mentioned in a document in 1219 as "Bandemin". The current name followed in 1798. The Slavic name is not interpreted.

It is located on today's B 111 with the Wolgast – Zinnowitz section of the previous stone railway from 1882, this had a road house at the junction to Trassenheide for collecting road tolls. But that was stopped after a short time, the houses became the houses of the street guards, the so-called road masters, or the road workers. With this section of today's B 111, the gap in the Gützkow – Wolgast – Swinemünde road connection was closed.

Bannemin and Mölschow have had a train station (today a stop) on the Wolgast ferry - Zinnowitz route since 1911.

Bannemin is a street village in terms of shape and a farming village in terms of function. In addition, it had several individual settlement farms in the Feldmark, four of which were post windmills with mill farms from before 1880, of which only two existed after 1920.

On July 1, 1950, Bannemin was incorporated.

Mölschow

Mölschow was first mentioned in a document in 1182 as "Malcekowe". The Slavic name is interpreted as silent. The place name may come from the nearby lake "Molechowe". In 1278 the Pomeranian Duke Barnim I enfeoffed the German knight Voss with the goods Krummin, Zinnowitz and Mölschow. In 1282 the city of Wolgast received the land south of the Great Lake, which was formerly known as "Molcekowe". In 1302 the nunnery Wollin Mölschow took over , then in 1305 it went to the nunnery Krummin . In 1534 after the Reformation, the monastery became a royal chamber property (Dominal).

The region suffered greatly from the Thirty Years' War . After the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 Mölschow became Swedish like all of Pomerania, and after 1720 Prussian. In 1911 Mölschow received a rail connection.

On May 13, 1925, Mölschow was destroyed by a major fire. Seven years later, in addition to the domain, six farmers, a small barn and 20 houses with 148 inhabitants were mentioned in Mölschow.

Despite the dominating property, Mölschow was a street village with several branches.

The property is almost completely preserved; After many years of use as a museum object and cottage garden, it was sold in 2018.

Drinker

Zecherin village center

Zecherin is said to have been mentioned for the first time in 1267 as "Zecheryn". Like many documents relating to donations for the Grobe / Pudagla monastery, this one is also bogus. The next real mention is from the Lubin map of 1618. In between there is another mention from the secondary literature of Burkhardt and his Chronicle of Usedom from 1910, in which he mentions 1396 "Secheryn".

Zecherin is a street village on the Peenestrom, which is characterized in its function as a farming and fishing village. According to the maps, the shape and structure are preserved until after 1920; a bungalow settlement was only built along the Peene River in GDR times.

On July 1, 1950, Zecherin was incorporated.

Eichberg (living space)

Eichberg was first mentioned in 1906 in the register of places. It is the living space belonging to Mölschow at the Bannemin-Mölschow train station, built in 1906, south of Mölschow.

coat of arms

Blazon : “Split; in front a silver anchor in blue, overlaid in bars by three golden rapeseed blossoms covered in red; behind in silver half an eight-spoke blue wheel at the gap. " The coat of arms was designed by Roland Bornschein from Wismar . It was approved on January 26, 1998 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under the number 149 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms symbolizes with its figures the sources of income of the inhabitants. The rapeseed blossoms are said to indicate agriculture in Mölschow, the anchor to fishing in Zecherin and the wheel to the local handicrafts in Bannemin. In terms of number, the rapeseed blossoms also represent the three districts. The shield colors document the affiliation of the municipality to the Western Pomerania region.
