history
Medewege was first published on February 23, 1186 in a document from Pope Urban III. mentioned.
Finds have shown that human settlements began in the Stone Age. Axes and flint implements were found that could be dated back to this time. There are also finds from the Iron Age, such as an urn cemetery.
Gunzelin , the Count of Schwerin , donated the village of Meduwede to the Schwerin cathedral chapter on July 2, 1217 . In 1496 there were 27 residents in Klein Medewege, which belonged to the ducal office of Schwerin, and 21 in Groß Medewege. Twenty years later, in 1516, there were five Hüfner positions in Klein Medewege. In 1647 , Klein Medewege was given to the fiefdom and only acquired back into the possession of the sovereign at the end of the 17th century. After the abolition of the cathedral chapter by the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 , the community passed to the sovereign. In 1655 there are 22 people living in Groß Medewege on a farm with 500 to 600 sheep. From 1806 to 1812 Mecklenburg and thus Medewege were occupied by French soldiers. In 1827, construction of the Sachsenberg state mental asylum began on the Medeweg field and was completed in 1830.
In 1935, both Klein and Groß Medewege were sold by the state of Mecklenburg to the city of Schwerin. The district was incorporated into the district through the sale in 1936. At the end of the Second World War , the goods from Klein and Groß Medewege were used to supply the Red Army . In 1946 they were combined to form a country estate. In the post-war period, the focus was on supplying the Schwerin residents.
