Mustelin was first mentioned in a document on October 9, 1312 . In its function as a border and negotiation site, Mestlin accommodated King Erich of Denmark and Margrave Woldemar of Brandenburg in 1312 , who negotiated their war with Rostock in this village . A second state action took place there on July 8th, 1317, when Prince Johann the Younger von Werle-Goldberg confirmed the privileges granted by Prince Pribislaw von Parchim in 1248 to his town of Goldberg . The name is of Slavic origin and means something like "bridge place". Mestlin was one of the most important villages in the Goldberg Bailiwick, as is indicated today by the two-aisled hall church, which is oversized for the village.

The settlement Gloueke , now a desert, was near the village .

In the Thirty Years' War was Mestelin bit abgebrandt on etzliche little bit homes to the ground . The already existing yard was extended by fifteen unoccupied Hufen, while twelve farmers settled again. The windmill was built in 1831. In 1871 the new jug building was completed and moved into. The head of the monastery had concluded an agreement with the Ober-Post-Direktion in Schwerin for the provision of two rooms in this building for the establishment of a postal expedition with quarterly notice. A roof was placed on the eastern gable at the entrance to the post office.

Mestlin belonged to the Dobbertin Monastery Office from 1448 until the Dobbertin Monastery was dissolved in 1919.

Estate

The new manor house for the tenant domain councilor Hans Dehns was designed by Theodor Krüger from Schwerin, then still a master builder, and in 1863 the house and the chimneys were completed. After a fire in 1876, it was rebuilt after 1895. In 1833, 12 farmers from Mestlin were relocated to the newly established extensions and assigned to the village of Ruest as hereditary tenants. This made Mestlin a pure monastery village with over 1000 hectares.

Administrators or tenants were:

• 1650–1674 Hans Brandt.
• 1674–1703 son of Jacob Brandt.
• 1703-1712 Jacob Janetzky.

After the Second World War , Mestlin initially remained an estate and served to supply the Soviet occupation troops. In 1947 the land reform also took place here and was intended for the settlement of around 80 new farmers and 20 craftsmen.

During the GDR era, Mestlin was expanded into a socialist model village by 1957. The two-storey, 57-meter-long and 28-meter-wide cultural center was built in the center of the new village between 1954 and 1957 and had been in a desolate state since 1996. The local association Denkmal Kultur Mestlin e. V. tries to preserve the listed building ensemble and to stimulate the cultural offer in the community. In September 2014, the exhibition “What is the GDR for you?” With photos by Bettina Flitner was on view in the Mestlin cultural center .

On January 1, 1951, the previously independent municipality of Ruest was incorporated.

Brick factory

The first brick factory is said to have been destroyed in the Thirty Years War. Another brick factory was found between 1747 and 1772. In 1864 the brickworks was in an extremely poor condition and very flammable between the courtyard and village buildings. The construction of a new facility elsewhere was considered. After its closure, the Dobbertin monastery office set up a new brick factory northeast of the village in 1868. A new ring furnace had been abandoned and in 1866 a vaulted furnace was built in the old style for 26 to 30 mille stones for each fire. The previous brickworks tenant Gillmeister extended the lease until 1913 and in 1901 received a new ring kiln, which was in operation until 1964.

Forsthof

In the winter of 1896 the stable and barn building burned down on the forester's yard, was rebuilt in the summer of 1897 and the permit was subsequently obtained.
