history

Gallin

Gallin was first mentioned in 1230 as Galin in the Ratzeburg tithe register as a village in the state of Boizenburg. The name is of Old Slavic origin and means place of the gala .

Later, Gallin, along with the towns of Bernstorf, Camin, Neuenkirchen and Ticino, belonged to the Züle family of robber knights , which was expelled in 1349. In 1399 Gallin went to Duke Albrecht III. over. Duke Johann Albrecht II lent the estate and village of Gallin in 1627 to Heinrich Husanus, in whose family Gallin remained until his death in 1673. Then the village was again owned by the Mecklenburg dukes. In the same year Gallin was sold to the von Wedemhof brothers in Lübeck, who bequeathed it to the Lübeck mayor Hieronymus von Dorne . Duke Friedrich Wilhelm bought the estate for 1000 thalers in 1705. From 1713 to 1730 the place was pledged to David Johann Braunschweig and then to his widow.

After the Second World War , Gallin continued to be dominated by agriculture. From 1990 onwards, the largest newly created commercial area in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania was built on the municipality and that of the neighboring municipality of Lüttow-Valluhn to the north. Here, thanks to its location directly on the Hamburg - Berlin autobahn with its own exit, primarily companies from the transport industry have settled.

Nieklitz

Nieklitz is also mentioned in a document for the first time in 1230 in the Ratzeburg tithe register. The name is also of Old Slavic origin and was then Niclesse, which means something like descendants of Nikol . Originally the village belonged to the Lords of Roddin, who sold it to the Lords of Züle. In March 1370 Kuno von Züle and his son Vicke donated the village to the Zarrentin monastery , after 1552 it became part of the princely office of Zarrentin under the name of the Princely Court or Amtshof . In 1857 Nieklitz had 76 inhabitants.

In July 1894, during construction work on a Rademacher's barn, a sensational treasure was found in which 152 smaller German silver coins from the period between 1667 and 1734 were found. The small single-storey manor house Nieklitz is now a renovated residential building.

In 1947 peat extraction began in the Nieklitzer Moor , which was discontinued in 1958. The moor became a nature reserve .

On July 1, 1950, Nieklitz was incorporated into Gallin.

Between 2000 and 2013 there was a future center for people - nature - technology - science . It was brought into being by Berndt Heydemann , who received the environmental award of the Federal Environment Foundation in 2005 . Since 2016, the site has been inhabited by a community that wants to break new ground on a cooperative basis.

coat of arms

Blazon : “A silver tip in green, topped with a red chapel with two day-lit square windows, a wooden tower with a pointed roof and an open door; in front a slanted silver arrowhead; behind a silver compass rose, topped with half a golden lily. " The coat of arms and the flag were designed by the Glaisiner Manfred Sturzenbecher . It was approved on February 13, 2003 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under the number 276 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Justification of the coat of arms: In the coat of arms, the chapel is linked to the St. Anne's Chapel in the center of Gallin, consecrated in 1656. The arrowhead, borrowed from the von Zülen family's coat of arms, is intended to commemorate the first local lords known by name. The compass rose stands for the newly built logistics center on the A24 on the site of the former border crossing point, today's Valluhn / Gallin industrial park, from which goods are handled in all directions.
