Mellin (Friedrichswalde)
Mellin was a Vorwerk and a colony (settlement) on the district of the municipality Friedrichswalde ( Amt Joachimsthal (Schorfheide) in the district of Barnim ( Brandenburg )). It was about 1.7 km east-southeast of today's Parlow (today the residential area of the Friedrichswalde community) on the north bank of the now silted Mellin Lake . The Mellin Vorwerk was created in 1722/23 from Michel Kleinfeld's fence-setting post on the Großer Wildzaun through the Schorfheide. In 1768 a colony with 8 families from Mecklenburg was set up here. In 1880 the place was demolished and the Feldmark was united with Parlow .

history
Around 1660, Friedrich Wilhelm I ("the Great Elector") began restoring the so-called " Great Wild Fence " from the Havel to the Oder, which was laid out in the mid-16th century and destroyed or dilapidated in the Thirty Years' War . The game fence was supposed to prevent the game from crossing over to the cultivated land of the southern Uckermark to the north. As early as 1700 this approx. 80 km long game fence was damaged again, and a total of 12 fence setting points were created along the game fence for maintenance, which had to look after about 5 to 7 km long sections. Schulze von Groß-Ziethen took on a position for a fee. The remaining fence posts were re-created by clearing the large forest area. The fence setters had next to the house z. Sometimes considerably large arable and meadow areas. At these fence-setters, new settlements were usually built later, which later became villages or even disappeared again, like Mellin.
In 1718, Michel Kleinfeld's fence-setting post at the Großer Wildzaun in the Grimnitz forest area was first mentioned. At that time the Kleinfeld estate had 43 acres of fields, 22 acres of meadow and 1 acre of garden. Meadows and fields were partly near the house, partly also on Dovinsee and Mellinsee, at that time already called Möllenbruch . He kept 14 cows. The area belonged to the Liebenwalde office . The name is self-explanatory from the nearby Mellinsee (1826: called Mellinsche See). There are several lakes with this name (in slightly modified spellings in Brandenburg: Mellensee in the district of Teltow-Fläming, Mellensee near Lychen (district of Uckermark), Mellensee in the municipality of Boitzenburger Land in the district of Uckermark, Möllensee near Potzlow, district of Uckermark, Möllensee near Lindow (Mark), district of Ostprignitz-Ruppin and Möllensee in the district of Grünheide in the district of Oder-Spree). The name of the lakes is of Slavic origin and denotes shallow lakes.
1721 planned office tenants ( Arrendator ) Gustav Krause further clearance of land to build the Grimnitzschen glassworks at this point Vorwerk. By this time Kleinfeld had cleared 288 acres (1 acre of 180 square rods) of land and 46½ acres of meadows. The Vorwerk was built in 1722/3; it should be called Mellin. When the Vorwerk land was surveyed in 1732, the Vorwerk included a total of 322 acres of land, of which 288 acres were arable, 69 acres were meadows and 25 acres were garden land. In 1736 2 householders, a shepherd, a servant and a maid lived on the farm. In 1746 the size of the Vorwerk is given as 386 acres, of which 238 acres were arable, 145 acres were meadows and 3 acres were gardens. 20 cows, 10 cattle, 200 sheep as well as pigs and poultry were kept. In the meantime, 3 day laborer's apartments had also been built. The maintenance of the wild fence was still one of the tasks of the Vorwerk. At the end of the lease period in 1756 (the Liebenwalde office), the Grumsin and Mellin sub-works were assigned to the new Grimnitz office . In 1768, 8 Mecklenburg Büdner (or day laborers) were assigned to the works at royal expense. The eight families from Woldegk, Kantzow and Strelitz were housed in 2 houses. In 1769 they received 1 acre of meadow and ¾ acre of garden land by inheritance. In 1774 the bailiff and tenant Gustav Krause was dismissed because of lease arrears of 5,800 thalers. In 1775 the Vorwerk Mellin was given to bailiff Böttcher on a long lease. Eight Büdner live near the Vorwerk, the colony had eight fire places. In 1790 the colony had 16 residents and 7 fireplaces. In 1801 10 Büdner and 6 residents lived in Mellin. For the first time a jug is occupied. In 1840 the place had grown to eleven houses. In 1860 a public building, six residential buildings and seven farm buildings were registered in Mellin. In 1859/61 the owner of Polssen and Schmelze , Moritz v. Wedell-Parlow opened the colonist houses. The residents emigrated to America. School was dropped out in 1864. The colonist houses were used as day laborer's houses for a few years. In 1880 the manor owner v. Wedell-Parlow Mellin with the neighboring village of Schmelze (then called Parlow from 1880) and had the Vorwerk and the colonist houses in Mellin demolished. Today nothing is left of the small town.
Political history
The settlement or the settlement area belonged to the Liebenwalde office until 1749 , from 1749 to the Grimnitz office , at that time part of the Stolpirischen Kreis . In 1839 the new Rentamt Neustadt-Eberswalde was formed from the offices of Grimnitz, Biesenthal and Chorin . The Vorwerk Mellin, together with the Schmelze hereditary interest, had been owned by the chief forester Wegener and heirs since the end of the 18th century. In 1836, the Schmelze hereditary interest and the Mellin leasehold with an estimated value of 26,629 thalers, 18 groschen and 6½ pfennigs were "subhasted" (auctioned) and passed into the possession of a Lengefeldt. From 1848 to 1852 they belonged to Dr. Sigismund Eduard Löwenhardt in Prenzlau, since 1850 jointly owned by Julius Matz. From 1852 to 1857 the two farms belonged to Moritz Reimer before they came into the possession of Moritz v. Wedell-Parlow went over to Poland. He was able to claim ownership until 1872.
Church history
The residents of Mellin were churched in Glambeck in 1775. In 1801 and 1817 Mellin was part of the Wolletz church. In 1840 and 1860 they were churched in Joachimsthal. In 1870 the residents of the Schmelze estate and the Mellin colony formed the subsidiary community in Schmelze. Patron was the manor owner v. Wedell-Parlow.
