Menkin is a part of the municipality of Wollschow in the rural town of Brüssow in the German state of Brandenburg.
history
Menkin was built around 1200 as a farming village with a stone church during the time of German colonization on old Slavic settlement soil. Hermann von Gleichen , Bishop of Cammin, received the two villages "Wolsichowe" and "Menkin" from Margrave Johann I in exchange for Klockow in 1260 . This made the village dependent on Löcknitz Castle , which also belonged to this church prince. Subsequently, the families of Buch, Eickstedt , Schulenburg and Blankenburg were mentioned as owners.
In 1623, the Brandenburg Chamberlain and Commander von Schievelbein, who came from Prignitz, bought the knight's seat in the Neumark Adam von Winterfeldt . The village including Wollschow and Fahrenholz remained in the possession of the von Winterfeldt family until 1945. Menkin was largely cremated during the Thirty Years War . The estate also burned down; however, it was rebuilt afterwards. In 1740 the manor house was rebuilt. In 1945 the landowner Joachim von Winterfeldt – Menkin was expropriated and expelled; the manor house was destroyed by arson. On July 1, 1950, Menkin was incorporated into Wollschow. In 1960 the manor house was rebuilt in a simplified form. In 1969, the Woddow cooperative community emerged from six agricultural production cooperatives in the territory. From this, the LPG (animal production) "Spartakus" Wollschow-Menkin and the LPG (animal production) "Friedrich Engels" Bagemühl were formed in early 1976.
After 1990 there were some territorial changes according to the State Treaty of May 9, 1992, which came into force on July 1, 1992. The municipality of Wollschow and the city of Brüssow in the district of Pasewalk were separated from the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania within the existing municipality and district boundaries and incorporated into the state of Brandenburg . In 1992 the descendants of Joachim v. Winterfeldt-Menkin, the von Oppen family , the Menkin estate. On December 31, 2001, Menkin was incorporated into Brüssow together with Wollschow.
