Owstin manor

history

Owstin was first mentioned in 1327 as "Owstyn". The name means in the Slavic sheepfold - several late Slavic (1000 to 1200) settlements have been found nearby. There is also an early German tower hill with a moat on the estate.

The place was mentioned in 1353 as an Awstin in a document from Count Johann von Gützkow , in which he confirmed the rights and awards of the city of Gützkow. At that time the place was probably already in fiefdom of the knightly family von Owstin , who belonged to the vassals of the counts.

On the Saturday of Invocavit 1485, Hans and Claus Owstin received at their request from Duke Bogislaw X. of Pomerania the deed of mortgage for Owstin and their other goods. In 1646 Joachim Kuno von Owstin had to pledge the place and other possessions to Berendt von Wolffradt. A branch of the von Owstin family had resided in neighboring Quilow since about 1470 . In 1670 Owstin was finally ceded to the Wolffradts . They had a single-storey manor house built around 1700 , which was rebuilt at the beginning of the 19th century. The last owner from the male line of the family was Hermann Wilhelm von Wolffradt (1816–1841). In his will, the latter ordered the establishment of a Fideikommiss whose beneficiary he appointed his cousin Achim von Voss (1837-1904). In 1863, under the name of Voss-Wolffradt , he took over the management of the main Lüssow estate with the pertinances Owstin, Consages, Klein Polzin , and Pentin , in accordance with the will . The latter pertinence was soon sold.

In 1934 Chamberlain von Voss-Wolfradt had to sell part of the field from Owstin to the settlement company due to high debts. This was settled in 12 farms with 15 hectares each. A remaining farm of about 100 hectares remained, which the youngest son, Victor von Voss-Wolfradt, managed. The von Voß-Wolffradt family remained in possession of the property until they were expropriated in 1945. In 1945, as a result of the land reform, the remaining courtyard was also relocated to courtyards of around 6 hectares.

On August 24, 1961 Owstin was incorporated into Gützkow. This incorporation into Gützkow, in contrast to Pentin, did not take place in 1928 when the manor districts were dissolved, because it was administratively connected to Lüssow and the place was only oriented towards Gützkow with the introduction of the municipal reform in the GDR.

In 1959 LPG Type I was founded with the name “16. November “which was joined by 4 settlers. In 1960 the other farmers followed the merger in LPG Type I. In 1975, LPG Owstin merged with LPG Ranzin. But already in 1976 Owstin was assigned to LPG Gützkow Type III and again a year later to LPG (P) Gützkow.

After 1999 the estate with the manor house, park and farm buildings returned to private ownership. African ostriches have been bred for meat production in Owstin since 2001 and marketed in a slaughterhouse with a farm shop.

On December 31, 2014 Owstin had 77 residents with a main residence and 1 with a secondary residence.

On December 31, 2015 Owstin had 77 residents with a main residence and 1 with a secondary residence, unchanged from the previous year.
