history

Brenkenhof

The field mark belonged to the lordly office of Stolpe, later Klempenow. So it became a domain after the Reformation. In 1754 the Brenkenhof colony was founded there on the field of Krien and Medow.

It was named after the Prussian Finance Council von Brenkenhoff. It was not until 1779 that it was first mentioned in a document with its current name. 14 foreign (Huguenots?) Colonists were given 39 acres (10 hectares) each on the orders of King Friedrich II . They got free lumber and 12 years of tax exemption.

In 1865 the place had 1 school building, 16 residential and 20 farm buildings and 2 windmills. 104 inhabitants live here in 17 families, there are 13 owners (colonists) and 3 tenants.

Medow

Medow was first mentioned in a document as Medowe in 1310. As a Slavic foundation that means something like "honey village".

The manor originally belonged to the Stolpe Monastery, in 1534 it came to the Duke through secularization . After the death of the last duke in 1637, the estate came under Swedish administration, but in 1720 it passed to King Friedrich Wilhelm III. of Prussia as its personal property. After the defeat by Napoleon, he gave the property to the Prussian state in 1806.

The Dominalgut then became a manor, when is not recorded. Schmiede in 1842, Franz Müller in 1857 and then the heirs of Count Carl von Schwerin in 1861 were named as owners. In 1865 the tenant was a Balthasar.

In 1865 the estate had 6 residential and 10 farm buildings, 116 inhabitants in 19 households, including the tenant with family, the servants and the day laborers with their respective families.

In 1865 the village of Medow had 1 church, 1 preacher's house, 1 sexton and school and 1 preacher's widow's house. There were also 38 residential and 49 farm buildings, 1 windmill farm with 7 buildings, 1 jug and 1 forge. 373 inhabitants lived in the place, including 7 farmers, 23 half-farmers, 4 kossäts and 17 Büdner as well as their families and residents and day laborers.

The church of Medow was a branch to Stolpe, but from 1565 mother church for the area. What was remarkable about the Church of Medow was its large library collection from donations from the dukes and the nobility.

The estate with 458 hectares belonged to the Holtz family until 1945.

Nerd

Nerdin was first mentioned in a document in 1340 as Neidrin . The name means something like "abyss".

The place belonged to the Stolpe Monastery and became a state domain Vorwerk after the Reformation. It was leased to the chief magistrate of Homeyr. Originally, the Neu-Sanitz ancillary works belonged to the Domain Vorwerk.

In 1865, the estate had 5 residential buildings and 10 farm buildings; 88 residents lived in 13 households in the estate, including the tenant, his family and servants, as well as day laborers with families.

In 1865 the village of Nerdin had 1 church, 1 school, 11 residential and 14 farm buildings as well as 1 windmill. 91 inhabitants lived here, including 8 larger and 1 smaller landowners with their families and servants.

The windmill, listed as early as 1865, is still visible today as a ruin southeast of Nerdin.

Thurow

Thurow was first mentioned in 1387 as Turow . The name of the Slavic foundation means something like "aurochs" or "aurochs forest".

Thurow was a manor, originally as a fief of the Ihlenfeld and then the Eickstedt. In 1746 it was owned by the von Schwerin family. In 1786, General Landschaftsrat Detlow Heinrich Graf von Schwerin sold it to Captain Hans Friedrich Wilhelm von Owstin, but in 1799 it was sold to August Friedrich Ludwig Meisner. A special permit was required for this because only the old nobility were entitled to own a manor. There were no longer any farmers in the village; they had all been laid.

From 1842 to 1853 von Haberland and from 1857 to 1865 von Helms were named as owners.

In 1865 Thurow had 1 manor house, 1 school, 10 residential and 16 farm buildings as well as 1 forge. 119 inhabitants lived in the village, including the landlord with his family, 2 inspectors, servants and 14 day laborers each with their families.

Since 1896, Thurow has been touched by the Anklam - Dennin (MPSB) light rail line. There was a junction to Stretense near the village. At the junction was also the stop for Thurow. As with all small railways, this was dismantled in 1945 as a repair.

On July 1, 1950, Thurow was incorporated into Nerdin.

Thurow is a manor village with the dominant property and the farm worker data line. Little has changed in the form of the village, and the shape and structure of the estate are still almost original.

Thurow has been affected by the Peene South Canal since the 1970s .

Knowledgeable

Southwest of Wussentin there are three Bronze Age barrows (1800 to 600 BC) and an early Slavic settlement (600 to 800) has been archaeologically proven in the place. A late Slavic settlement (1000 to 1200) was south of the place.

Wussentin was first mentioned in 1172 as Woscentien . What is striking here is the large number of documented mentions in the 12th century, i.e. before the German settlement. The name is interpreted differently, the most likely is the Slavic word for "forest area".

After the monastery was owned by the Stolpe Monastery, the place became a state domain around 1534, first from the Stolpe Office, then from the Klempenow Office.

Up until 1764 there was still an outbuilding to the domain, which was dismantled and, by order of the king, occupied with 4 old farmers and 15 foreign (Huguenots?) Settler families. Later these settlements were referred to as mining to Wussentin.

In 1865 37 residential and 40 farm buildings, 1 school, 1 windmill, 1 horse mill and 1 jug were counted in Wussentin. The village had 273 inhabitants in 58 households, including 21 farmers and 6 Büdner with their respective families.

Wussentin is a downright rural village with small-scale settlement farms. It was not until the GDR era and strengthened after 1990 that medium-sized and large farms emerged to the east and north-east.

Nerdin Horst (living space)

Nerdin Horst was only listed in TK 10 as a place to live in 1998, there are remote settlement courtyards not far from Nerdin.

Emilienhof (desert)

Emilienhof was 2 km northwest of Medow. It was recorded on the maps as an independent place until after 1920. It was a farmstead, which later belonged to Wussentin as a place to live. After 2003 the emptying began, then the decay, now only a few ruins can be seen.
