history

Mills Eichsen: The name of mills Eichsen and Great Eichsen was in the 12th and 13th centuries Eichsen , in history also Exem, Ekessem or exes . According to the Isfried partition contract in 1194, the place belonged to the diocese of Ratzeburg and was mentioned in 1230 in the Ratzeburg tithe register , which lists the localities that were then part of the diocese according to parishes . Today's Mühlen Eichsen was just a mill farm with the name Molnecsen , which was first mentioned on April 2, 1283, while Groß Eichsen was named Magna Eixen . The later designation Lütken- or Klein-Eichsen for mills Eichsen, which is attested for 1357, did not prevail. By 1200, the Graf von Schwerin gave the places Sülstorf, Goddin, Eichsen and Moraas the in Altmark Werben (Elbe) domiciled Order of St. John . This subsequently acquired other places and later moved its headquarters from Sülstorf to Kraak, where a commandery was founded. Mühlen Eichsen received a church before 1283, the patronage of which was disputed between the bishop of Ratzeburg and the order. On April 2, 1283, the dispute was settled, the order received patronage over the churches in Groß- and Mühlen Eichsen. Groß Eichsen became the seat of a prior and part of the brotherhood, and a large church in the shape of a cross was built here, which was called "Münster zu Groß Eichsen" in the 16th century. As a result, this church developed into a place of pilgrimage, which was also often visited by the Mecklenburg ducal family.

The Commandery was dissolved for the Reformation , until 1552 the Schwerin canon Paschen Gustävel was prior, after which the Groß Eichsen estate was taken over with all the rights of the ducal chancellor and councilor Johann Lucka. Duke Johann Albrecht I claimed high justice, tax, land succession and hunting. In 1560 a contract was signed with Lucka and the estate was written back to the Duke, who signed it over to his wife Anna Sophia of Prussia as private property. After her death in 1591, he and Goddin sold the estate to Kurt von Sperling. Mühlen Eichsen was sold in 1639 by Duke Adolf Friedrich I to the Gadebusch bailiff Hundt. In the following decades the owners changed (von Rantzau, von Stralendorff , von Schwartz, von Thiemen, von Könemann, von Leers).

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent communities Goddin and Webensfelde were incorporated.

Schönfeld was mentioned in 1194 as Stiftsgut Sconenuelde in the Ratzeburg tithe register . The first feudal bearers were probably the lords of Schönfeld and then u. a. the families von Schöneich (1512–1603), von Restorff (until around 1718), von Falckenberg (until 1724), von Plessen (until before 1746), von Berkentin (until 1755), von Bartels (until 1771), Boeckmann (until 1793), von Könemann (until around 1820), von Leers (until 1930) and von Plessen (until 1945). The manor house Schönfeld was built from 1822, was refugee accommodation after 1945, then a kindergarten, school and then a holiday home; In 1991 Christian von Plessen acquired and renovated the house.
