history

Former residence of the Flemming family on Lake Martenthiner

The village was first mentioned in 1288. Martenthin was also called Marrentin and Merrentin before the 17th century and was one of the oldest possessions of the Flemming family . In Martenthin, the Flemmings used to own a castle that had been their headquarters. The castle was destroyed by a fire; its building materials were used elsewhere, so that nothing can be seen of it today. In 1511 Jakob Flemming appeared as a guarantor. In 1628 three shares of the village taxed 6.5 Hh, a Kossaten , a miller and a shepherd. Around 1780 in Martenthin there were four farms, four sheep farms, a windmill, a preacher, a sexton, an organist , two farmers and a total of twenty households. In 1936 five settler sites with 157 hectares were founded. The owner of the 200 hectare manor was in 1939 R. von Plötz .

Until 1945 Martenthin belonged to the district of Cammin i. Pom. the province of Pomerania and was a place of residence of the municipality of Ticino. The place of residence Martenthin belonged to the Ticino administrative district. The responsible district office was in Cammin i. Pom. The place of residence Martenthin belonged to the district of the district court in Wollin. The competent labor court was in Swinoujscie, the competent registry office in Old Ticino.

Towards the end of the Second World War , on March 5, 1945 at 4:30 p.m., Soviet tanks came to the bridge between Lake Martenthiner and Lake Paatziger, which was then blown up. The municipality of Ticino with the Martenthin district was evacuated by the residents themselves. As a result of the demolition, all refugee routes east of the bridge were blocked from escaping to the west. After the region was placed under Polish administration after the end of the war , the expulsion of the remaining population began in the summer of 1945 , which was largely completed by the end of the same year.

church

The majority of the population present in Martenthin before 1945 belonged to the Protestant creed. Martenthin was the seat of an evangelical rectory (the regional church of Pomerania). The villages of Bresow, Parlow, Stregow, Tessin, Trebenow and Wustermitz were parish in the Protestant parish Martenthin. The Catholics in Martenthin belonged to the Catholic parish of Cammin i. Pom.

The Martenthiner Church was built on the steep bank of Lake Martenthiner. The first mention of a church in Martenthin was in 1288, a pastor in 1369; in 1594 two bells are mentioned. Originally the church was a small, low stone building . In the 17th century, the field stone walls were removed halfway up and used as a substructure for a brick wall placed on top. In addition, the nave was extended to the east. The wooden tower from 1712 was later replaced by a bell tower. In the period from 1892 to 1894, the church was completely renovated and received a massive tower. The walls of the tower, the south porch and the choir were made of exposed brick. Silver vessels used in the church date from 1685. An epitaph from the 17th century in the church was dedicated to one of Flemming's. The patronage of the church was in the hands of the Plötz family.

school

Martenthin had its own elementary school until 1945.
