The property is located on the Stromgraben , which separates the Rostock Heath from the Gelbensander Forest, which is adjacent to the east. The city center of Rostock is about 18 kilometers away, the place Gelbensande is about one kilometer further east. Meyershausstelle belongs to the Rostock district of Wiethagen , the village of the same name is located about three kilometers southwest.
history
The Rostock Heath area was bought by the city of Rostock as early as 1252. The boundary between the urban and the sovereign property was the river ditch, which crosses the forest areas approximately from south to north and flows west of Graal into the Baltic Sea. The property directly on the Stromgraben is mentioned for the first time in 1765, presumably a resident turnpike guard named Meyer or Meier gave the name. Since urban sources from that time give no indication of the homestead, the local researcher Ludwig Krause suspects that Meyer would have been in princely service. According to tradition, Meyer worked as a shoemaker for the residents of the surrounding heath villages.
Meyershausstelle later became the seat of a forester's farm. While the city of Rostock remained the owner of the area of the Meyerhausstelle and the wooded areas to the west, the farm belonged to the municipality of Mittel- Rövershagen at the beginning of the 20th century and, together with Hinrichshagen , Wiethagen , Markgrafenheide and Schnatermann, formed the municipality of Rostocker Heide . Since 1924 Meyershausstelle has also belonged to the city of Rostock under administrative law. In 1930 Meyerhausstelle is mentioned as a forestry with eight residents.
After the Second World War, the Rostock Heath was increasingly used for military purposes. In the 1980s, more than 50% of the forest was a restricted military area. Meyershausstelle remained freely accessible, but the Prora military forestry company set up a production facility for charcoal there, which was intended for export.
After the reunification in the GDR, the military withdrew gradually. Since then, the Rostock Heath has been used exclusively for civilian purposes again, and the areas used by the military have been renatured. The forestry department moved out around the year 2000. The property has been used privately since 2003, and the owners have set up a restaurant there.
The former forester's house is a two-storey, thatched half - timbered house with a crooked hip roof . It is used as a residential building, a newly built auxiliary building based on the design of the main house serves to supply the visitors to the restaurant.
