history

Neuenkirchen

Neuenkirchen was mentioned in a document in 1299 as Nigenkerken . It is an early German foundation named for the new church . Since the first half of the 14th century at the latest, it was the ancestral home of the von Neuenkirchen family , which died out in 1641.

Neuenkirchen has been affected by the Dennin - Stretense small railway branch since 1897. According to the PUM, the estate was laid out before 1835. The single-storey, 11-axis manor house with a central risalit and the walled park have been preserved. The Gothic parish church, a rectangular stone church with a west tower with a blunt tent roof , is said to have existed in 1249.
To the west of the village there was a post mill mentioned in 1835 but no longer preserved .

In the state elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 2016 , the right-wing extremist NPD achieved its best result nationwide with 24.1 percent.

Müggenburg

Müggenburg moated castle

Müggenburg was first mentioned in 1331 as Mughenborgh . In 1563 the current name Müggenburg was used for the first time . A headland reaching into the moor was named Mügge , on which such castles were then settled as natural protection.

Müggenburg was an anger village , which, however, changed over time to an estate village due to the dominance of the estate. The moated castle to the north of the village as a mansion of the estate shows in its weight with the built-in medieval fishing tower the dominance over the village.

The Müggenburg moated castle (see there) with its medieval tower, which was surrounded by a modern castle, is historically defining for the place . Like Neuenkirchen, the estate belonged to the von Neuenkirchen noble family . Later the von Lepel , von Schwerin and von Hahn families were owned by it. In 1945 the estate was owned by Karl Friedrich Holtz.

On July 1, 1950, Müggenburg was incorporated.

Strippow

Strippow was first mentioned in a document as Stroppow in 1313, and in 1618 with the current name on the Lubin map. The Slavic name is interpreted with mange , but also with roof truss .
In terms of shape, the place was a rural village and in terms of its function it was a farming village with six three-sided farms and some farm workers' cottages.
In the 1970s, the Peene South Canal was built past the village .

Rosebarch (desert) was first mentioned in a document with this name in 1288. At the time it was owned by the Nienkerken and was located between Neuenkirchen and Müggenburg. Then it disappeared.
