history
Surname
The place name changed from Hologost (1127), Hologosta (1165) to Woligost and documented in 1140 to Wologost and to Wolegast (1229) or Wolgust (1250) to today's Germanized Wolgast (1189, 1250, 1331). The castle was also called "Castrum Waleguste" (1194).
The name Wolgast could be a altpolabischer personal name Voligost have been, the second part of the name gość the meaning guest , even a friend has. The name thus denotes someone who has a bigger / better friend . Wilhelm Ferdinand Gadebusch also assumed great as the meaning of the first syllable ( woly ), but gast (Polish: gaszcz) should be interpreted as a thicket or grove , from which he derived Great Grove .
middle Ages
The area of Wolgast belonged to the settlement area of the Slavic Liutizen , later to the Duchy of Pomerania . The place was first mentioned in 1123 as a trading and customs office. Here was the temple of the Slavic god Jarovit , who was destroyed by Bishop Otto von Bamberg on his second mission trip in 1128. He probably built the St. Petri Church at this point . The church building and the Wendish Rundling south of it were the origin of the city.
A castellan was last mentioned for Wolgast in 1230 . The first granting of the town charter probably took place between 1250 and 1259. This emerges from a letter from 1259 in which consules (councilors) were mentioned (according to MUB ). The confirmation document from 1282 by Duke Bogislaw IV proves that the city charter was granted by Dukes Barnim I and Wartislaw III. took place together. It can be assumed that the granting of town charter referred to a new German town that was laid out with a regular road network next to the previous Wendish settlements of Kronwiek, Bauwiek and Fischerwiek. Wolgast received a confirmation of the city charter of Luebi from Duke Bogislaw IV in 1282 .
From 1295 to 1625, after the division of the Duchy of Pomerania into Pomerania-Stettin and Pommern-Wolgast , the city was the seat of the Dukes of the Wolgast line. Their residence, Wolgast Castle , was one of the most important Renaissance buildings in North Germany . It was located on an island off the city in the Peene River between the mainland and the island of Usedom, which is still known as the Castle Island to this day. Around 1820 the last remains of the castle disappeared from the cityscape. The Petrikirche with the ducal crypt and the Gertrudenkapelle in the old cemetery, an architectural gem, are worth seeing from this time .
Wolgast was a member of the Hanseatic League , but was never of greater importance within this association of cities. The proximity of the sovereign brought about by the residence meant that the city could not achieve the independence and autonomy of other cities of that time.
16th to 19th century
In the Thirty Years War in the Battle of Wolgast on September 2, 1628, the imperial troops under Wallenstein defeated the Danish defenders of the city under King Christian IV. In 1630 the Swedish King Gustav II Adolf landed with his army in Peenemünde , which belonged to the city of Wolgast. After the king's death in 1633 his body was returned to Sweden from Wolgast.
From the end of the Thirty Years' War in 1648 until the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the city, like the entire area of Western Pomerania , belonged to Swedish Pomerania and from 1720 became the border point for entering and exiting the Odra because the Swin exit was silted up . Wolgast benefited from the customs and tax levies. In 1713 the Russian Tsar Peter I had the city burned down in the Great Northern War . The residential palace and large parts of the city were almost completely destroyed. The ducal castle fell into disrepair after the severe war damage and was used as building material for inner-city houses and in several manor types e.g. B. Wrangelsburg and Krebsow related. Therefore, today's cityscape of Wolgast is largely based on baroque architecture, with the historic town hall as an outstanding example, with a largely medieval street layout. The church of St. Petri is one of the few remains of Gothic architecture that were not destroyed in this fire and thus still remain today.
From the end of the 18th century there was a new boom through trade and industry. Storage and trading houses emerged. Around the middle of the 19th century, the shipowners represented in Wolgast had 20 merchant ships.
The two large granaries at the city harbor were particularly worth seeing as well-preserved half-timbered buildings; one from 1836. The last stones of the castle are said to have been built into them. The close to the Peene-Werft standing in 1843 for grain wholesalers Wilhelm Homeyer built memory , was in the night of 6 to 7 June 2006 by arson destroyed.
From the 20th century
In 1899 and 1901, the company Pommerscher Industrie-Verein auf Actien, founded by Johannes Quistorp in 1872 and now run by his son Martin Quistorp , opened two large Portland cement factories in Wolgast, the most important raw material of which was Rügen chalk, which was delivered by ship . The Wolgasters were able to hold their own in the market until 1939. After that, the site lay fallow until 1945. It was used by the GDR Navy from 1950 until the fall of the Wall and is now part of the Südhafen industrial park.
Wolgast survived the Second World War without any significant damage , apart from the Wehrmacht's demolition of the Peene Bridge in April 1945. This is mainly due to the surrender of the city to the Red Army on April 30, 1945 without a fight .
During the GDR era , the Peene shipyard was built in the city . It was geared towards military shipbuilding and had around 3500 employees. In addition, Wolgast became a naval base. From 1952 onwards, Wolgast became the administrative center of the Wolgast district in the Rostock district . The population rose to around 17,000 by 1989.
After the political change , the historic city center and the castle island were fundamentally renovated from 1991 onwards as part of urban development funding. The large neighboring residential areas were redeveloped through urban redevelopment and improvements in the residential area. After the reunification, the naval forces were withdrawn. Since the beginning of the 1990s, Wolgast has clearly lost its population. The reason for this is the emigration to other federal states, but also the urban flight to smaller surrounding communities.
In the course of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania district reform in 1994 , the Wolgast district was combined with the Anklam and Greifswald-Land districts to form the Ostvorpommern district, whose district seat was the city of Anklam . With the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania district reform in 2011 , Wolgast became part of the Western Pomerania-Greifswald district .
On September 23, 2008 the city received the title Place of Diversity awarded by the federal government .
History of the districts
Buddenhagen
The place Buddenhagen was first mentioned as buddenhaghen in 1387.
Hohendorf
Hohendorf was first mentioned in a document as Hogendorp in 1319.
Pritzier
Pritzier was first mentioned as Prisser in the Lubin map in 1618 . The von Nienkerken (Neuenkirchen) family was already the owner of the fief , from when is not recorded. Their last heir died in 1641. After the Thirty Years' War, the Swedish Marshal Conrad Mardefelt became lord of Gut Pritzier with the villages of Hohendorf, Katzow and Netzeband through royal Swedish donation . As early as 1653 he sold to the Swedish field marshal Carl Gustav Wrangel . However, this sparked disputes over the ownership of the property during the reduction of 1694. The Wrangel's heirs got back the property acquired through legal purchase through the reduction commission. In 1720 the last heiress died with Wrangel's granddaughter, and so the estate became a sovereign domain . The place Pritzier became a domain village and manor.
In 1865 Pritzier had 143 inhabitants in 22 families, there were 1 school, 11 residential and 19 farm buildings.
Pritzier is a manor village with a manor and farm worker data line; there are remains of the property. It was incorporated into Hohendorf on July 1, 1950.
Shellfish
Schalense was first mentioned in a document in 1454 (source questionable) and in 1618 it was named as Schalensee in the Lubin map. It used to be a Vorwerk that belonged to the Wolgast Office. In the Thirty Years War, around 1637, the village burned down completely. In 1648, Schalense became the property of the General Provisioner of Pomerania Steffen Larßen Kempe and the Rittmeister Knäckfädt. In 1667, Schalense became a royal domain that King Charles XII. Pledged in 1701. It was not until March 1, 1763 that Schalense was again free domain property. From 1831 to 1945 the estate was owned by the family.
Schalense was a typical estate village with the dominant estate and a small row of cottages for the farm workers. From around 1850, the village owned a road house on today's federal road 111, which was built with the construction of the stone railway from Wolgast to Moeckow- Berg in order to collect tolls. As can still be seen today, the houses were built directly on the street, through the window leading there was cash. But that was soon abandoned everywhere, because at that time almost only farmers were out with horse-drawn carts and they simply bypassed the customs offices. The road houses were then used as apartments for the road masters and their workers.
Zarnitz
Zarnitz, the smallest district, was first mentioned in 1387 as Zarentze . The name is derived from the Slavic black.
In Zarnitz in 1817 only one full farmer and one Kossät lived . As a Vorwerk, the place had been owned by the domain since 1648. In 1849 nine farmers lived here. By 1850 the village had 16 houses with 124 inhabitants. In 1855 the estate was dissolved and the place became a colonist village. In addition to the main town, there were about ten residential areas or farmsteads spread across the district. One of them was a mill farm with a post mill , and the other was the Poggenkrug on the border with Hohendorf. The village thus became a scattered settlement.
Housing areas and desertification
Districts of Wolgast
The Wolgast-Süd district was built around 1960, Tannenkamp around 1970 as a residential estate, Wolgast-Nord around 1980 as a prefabricated residential district and Am Schanzberg after 1990 as an industrial area. The old district of Wolgast ferry on Usedom was added to the later district of Mahlzow.
Hohenfelde (living space)
A forester's house was built there in 1854 and still exists today. Hohenfelde was mentioned for the first time in 1859. In addition, there was an associated forest workers' farmstead until recently, known as the "Flodderhaus", which burned out in 2012 and was cleared in 2014.
Mahlzow (Usedom Island)
Mahlzow was first mentioned in 1309 as Maltsow . The Slavic name is interpreted as small = malo . Mahlzow was a street village in shape and a farming village according to its function. Slightly north of Mahlzow there was an important hill for Wolgast, which had existed since the Thirty Years War and until 1835.
Mahlzow originally consisted of the village Mahlzow and the Wolgast district Wolgast-Fähre 'with the terminus and ferry station there. Both were united after 1945. In the meantime, the Wolgast ferry and Mahlzow are also structurally connected.
Weidehof (living space)
A single find shows that Weidehof settled the area at an early age. A Bronze Age button sickle was found in the moor northwest of the Weidehof farm 20 m south of the Ziesegraben by the tenant Zilm. It is 17 cm long, 3.2 cm in the middle and 3.3 cm wide at the button. (Information according to W. Petzsch - 1935)
Weidehof was first mentioned as such in 1859. The place belonged to the city of Wolgast early on, but was probably managed as a Vorwerk by Gut Karrin . The Vorwerk also had a brickworks with its own clay pits near the Peene River.
Wolgaster ferry (living space)
The Wolgast ferry was first named as the Wolgast ferry in 1631. The living space is on the island of Usedom opposite the Wolgast Castle Island. The important ferry point between the mainland and the island was located there. The settlement expanded until 1880, but had its own demarcated area with arable land and a windmill.
From 1906 to 1911, the railway line from Heringsdorf station to the Wolgaster ferry and the Wolgaster ferry station were built. This established the connection to the Ducherow-Swinoujscie-Zinnowitz line. In addition, a trajectory was set up on the Peenestrom to transfer the rolling stock and freight trains . For passenger traffic, passengers had to be ferried from Wolgast Hafen station to Wolgast Ferry station . There were three ferry lines: the passenger ferry from Schlossinsel, the carriage ferry from the port and, further south, the train ferry.
In 1937 the first steel bascule bridge was built as a road bridge over the Peenestrom with a length of 247 m for deliveries to the Peenemünde Army Research Center , which meant that the ferry connections apart from the rail transport were no longer necessary . The passengers now had to walk the distance from Wolgast Hafen station over the bridge to the Wolgast ferry station .
The bridge was blown up in 1945 by the retreating Wehrmacht. It was rebuilt in 1952 as a bridge of friendship . Since 1945, because of the demolition of the Karniner Bridge and the subsequent dismantling of the Ducherow-Swinoujscie railway line, rail traffic was only possible via Wolgast.
The bridge was renewed from 1997 to 1999 as a combination bridge for road and rail. She had a larger passage width for the ships from the Wolgaster Peenewerft. With the new route including the tunnel under the B 111 federal road , the Wolgaster ferry station became superfluous, only a stop for the Usedomer Bäderbahn (UBB) remained.
High point (desert)
High point was a residential place in the forest area between Buddenhagen and Jägerhof and was listed first in the Prussian Urmesstischblatt (PUM) in 1835, but not in Messtischblatt 1880. It seems to have been a forestry worker settlement.
Neuenzimmer (desert)
The place was in 1809 when New Limmer and in 1859 as a new room called. It was a forest farm that fell in ruins after 1859. It was between Buddenhagen and Jägerhof and was probably a forest workers' settlement.
Middle square (desert)
Mittelplatz was a residential area in the forest area between Buddenhagen and Jägerhof and was first listed in the Prussian Urmes table sheet (PUM) in 1835, but disappears again in the measuring table sheet in 1880. It seems to have been a forest workers' settlement.
Ziese mill (desert)
Ziese mill was mentioned as Zisemöhlen in the Lubin map in 1618 . The place was named until 1809, then it was probably desolate. The exact location on the Ziese in front of Wolgast is not known.

coat of arms
|
|
Blazon : “In gold on a green ground, a red tin tower with a dome roof alternately striped vertically with blue and gold and a closed golden gate between two facing, red-tongued, gold-reinforced black griffins standing on the beards of two turned away black keys and with a paw grab the tower and the dome with your fangs. "
The coat of arms was designed at the end of the 19th century after it was determined by the Royal Prussian Herald's Office and redrawn in 1997. It was registered under number 52 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. |
| Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms, based on the SIGILLVM CIVITATIS WOLGAST - first handed down as an imprint in 1295 before the division of the country - symbolizes a fortified city with the tower. The griffin figures refer to the Pomeranian dukes as city founders and city lords, with their later black tinging in the golden field to the affiliation of the residential city to the partial duchy of Pomerania-Wolgast, which was created after the division of the country in 1295, and with the tinging of the dome roof, which is striped with blue and gold of the tower on its affiliation to the partial duchy of Pomerania-Wolgast, which was formed after the renewed division of the country in 1532. The two keys point to Peter as the patron saint of St. Peter's Church. |
The historical coat of arms can be seen in the coat of arms frieze of the 24 lords and three cities of the administrative district council of the district of Greifswald in the district building on Markt 10/11.
flag
The flag was approved on June 18, 1997 by the Ministry of the Interior Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
The flag is striped lengthways in yellow, red and yellow. The yellow stripes each take up one sixth, the red stripe two thirds of the height of the flag cloth. In the middle of the red stripe is the city coat of arms, which is five ninths of the height of the flag. The length of the flag is related to the height as 5: 3.
