history

Manor house in Pütnitz (2013)

A Wendish, medieval moated castle could have stood here as early as the 12th century. In 1225 Pütnitz was first mentioned in a deed of donation from Prince Jaromar II of Rügen to the Ratzeburg Cathedral Chapter . In 1258 this prince donated the village to the town of Damgarten, which was founded that year . After objection by the cathedral chapter , it was sold to Eckard von Dechow as early as 1261. After Pütnitz was briefly owned by the von Schwerin family in the 17th century , it was again owned by the von Dechow family until it was pledged in 1709 by Colonel Adam Wilhelm von Pfuel to Carl Friedrich von Dechow. From 1709 the village was owned by the von Pfuel family until an amicable solution was reached in 1732, in which the Dechow were granted the rights to Pütnitz and the Pfuel to Pantlitz . After the estate served as the ancestral seat of the von Dechow family again until 1797, Pütnitz became the property of the von Zanthier family , as the last heiress, Caroline von Dechow, married Mr. L. von Zanthier in 1788.

Since the 19th century Pütnitz formed an estate district . With the abolition of the estate districts in Prussia, Pütnitz was incorporated into the city of Damgarten in 1928, against the will of the lord of the manor Hans Dietrich von Zanthier, who had sought the formation of an independent rural community.

After 1945, the manor was briefly a school, then a residential building, which was privatized by the building industry in 2011. The buyers were Nikolaus and Diana von der Lühe , who have since restored the manor house and the remaining park. The manor house is rented out for holiday apartments and celebrations.

Airfield

A forest, meadow and pasture area of ​​around 575 hectares west of Pütnitz was bought from the von Zanthier family by the Reich Aviation Ministry in 1935 in order to build an air base for pilot training. It was inaugurated on April 1, 1936 and served as a sea ​​aviation school from the 1930s to the beginning of 1945 . In 1936, 86 machines were in use. Up to 1500 men (April 1939) served on the airfield. The fixed runway was built in 1942 and expanded in 1943. The name of the training center changed several times. Founded as the pilot school (See) 1 Pütnitz , it was designated on January 16, 1940 as the Seeflugzeugführerschule (See) 2 and on January 1, 1941 as FFS C 17 . On October 15, it was renamed FFS B 17 with the associated reduction in training time . After the school was closed in March 1944, it was closed on September 8, 1944. The former reinforced concrete hangars, runways and bunkers are under monument protection. Hall 4 with folding door has been preserved in its original state of five hangars. Hall 5 was used during the Second World War by Heinkel Flugzeugwerke to manufacture wings for the He 111 bomber . In addition, the seaplanes repaired in the Walther Bachmann aircraft factory in Ribnitz were flown in at the air base.

After the site was briefly used as a shipyard for the construction of wooden fishing cutters from 1948 after the end of the war, the group of Soviet armed forces stationed various units of the 16th Air Army in Germany from 1952 . From 1954 to 1994, Pütnitz was mainly the location of the headquarters of the 16th Guards Fighter Pilot Division and the 773rd Fighter Pilot Regiment, which was subordinate to it, with around 7,000 military personnel.

Today the Pütnitz Technology Museum is housed in the former hangars of the military airfield .
