Paling
Palingen is a district of the municipality of Lüdersdorf ( incorporated in 1960) in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania with an area of 1410 hectares and over 400 inhabitants. The village is located on the southeastern edge of the Palinger Heide . The infantry regiment "Lübeck" (3rd Hanseatic) No. 162 used the Palinger Heide as a military training area.
The former Angerdorf , whose earliest structural evidence ( Niederdeutsches Hallenhaus ) from the 16th century has been preserved in the Unterdorf, was first mentioned in 1194 as Polengowe (place on the grove) in the Isfried partition contract . In 1301 the village is mentioned as Polinge in a register. The task of the village with the meat supply of the Ratzeburg cathedral chapter is laid down in it. In 1347 Polingen was predominantly owned by Lübeck citizens. In 1444 Palingen was inhabited by 12, in 1763 by 14 and in 1823 by 18 families. By the end of World War II , Palingen had 15 farm positions .
Over time, several fires partially destroyed the old farmhouses. In 1915 the existing windmill also burned down . The upper village's watermill is still standing, but has been out of service since the late 1970s.
In the 1920s one of the most sensational German criminal cases of the 20th century, the " Jakubowski Case ", took place in Palingen .
During the GDR era, the village was the location of a border company . From 1950 to 1960, due to the location in the restricted area, residents were relocated to places further away from the border.
After reunification , equestrian sports established themselves alongside continued agriculture .
In the neighboring Lübeck-Schlutup , after 1945, the Palinger Weg was named after the place that had become inaccessible at the time due to the zone border .
