history

Name and Slav period

Penzlin emerged from a Slavic settlement. At the Penzlin city lake there is a Slavic weir system from the 10th to 13th centuries. It is also known as the English Garden .

The place was first mentioned around 1170 with the old Polish personal name Parcelin in the (falsified) confirmation document of the Broda monastery . In the 13th century it was first called Pancilin , then Pentzelyn and finally Pentzelin in 1263 .

middle Ages

Historic city center (view from Penzlin Castle)

The place under German law must have been founded before 1226. In 1263 Prince Nikolaus I von Werle confirmed the “cives” of Penzlin the privileges that his father Heinrich Borwin II had given them. Penzlin has been a town since 1263, with Schwerin law. During this time the old castle was built. Since 1274 at the latest, Penzlin was the seat of a sovereign bailiff .

In 1291 Heinrich I von Werle was murdered by his sons, and one of the two ( Heinrich II ) entrenched himself in Penzlin until 1300. From 1316 the place belonged to the Werle-Güstrow lordship . Around 1350 Klaus von Plasten was the town's lien holder, followed by Governor Wedege von Plote in 1378. From 1397 he shared the rule with the von Voss family. The princes then pledged the city to the Lords of Maltzan in 1414 .

The Gothic brick church of St. Nikolai was built in the 14th century . While the citizens of the city and the residents of the state of Penzlin were essentially subject to the Lords of Werle until 1436 (Werle fell to Mecklenburg in 1436 ), the von Maltzan knightly dynasty resided at Penzlin Castle for over 500 years from 1414, with a few interruptions. Penzlin became official on 16/18. July 1501 family loan under Bernd von Maltzan . Since 1777 the rights were severely restricted as lords, and was Penzlin country town in Mecklenburg and as such one of the towns in Wendish circle that until 1918 at the Mecklenburg Country days of 1523 united estates were represented

Several fires raged in the city. In 1558 Penzlin burned down completely.

In the spring of 2015, eleven graves were discovered in Mauerstrasse without any connection to a regular cemetery. They probably came from the late Middle Ages or early modern times. Eight skeletons were anthropologically examined by Bettina Jungklaus . Six died between the ages of 20 and 50, and two were older children. Four of the buried were male and two female, the remaining two could not be determined. The body heights corresponded to the typical time average. The disease burden was inconspicuous, there was only evidence of a fairly high level of physical stress. The reasons for the irregular burial of the deceased at the city wall could not be clarified.

17th and 18th centuries

In 1725, a city fire spared only two houses out of 150. The tall, slender church tower also fell victim to the flames.

The later poet Johann Heinrich Voss, born near Waren in 1751, lived in Penzlin from 1752 and attended the Klippschule and in 1759 the town's school. He remained connected to the place: “In Penzlin it was where I first slurred father and mother and received the first impressions of childhood; a nice little town on a hill with an old wall, bushy wall and a decaying castle; a wide, gently rolling urban area of ​​busy grounds; Forests of oaks and beeches, lakes rich in fish flowing together through meadow streams; about a multitude of noble goods that sold and bought there; a wealthy and courageous citizenship of simple morals, prosperous through industry and intercourse. "

Witch trials and their victims

In Penzlin, as in many other places in Mecklenburg, there were witch trials. Before the Thirty Years War , the witch's cellar was set up in the castle in 1560. The witch trial against Benigna Schultzen stretched over twelve years from 1699 to 1711 and was one of the longest in the history of the witch hunts .

At the end of the 17th century, Baron Georg Julius von Maltzan ran into financial difficulties. So he was very interested in gaining access to the assets of Penzlin citizens and farmers as a court lord. The witch trials were ideally suited for this. Exemplary are the judgments against Benigna Schultzen, Anna Gröning (wife of Mathias Sponholtz), Dorothea Kopen, Dorothea Werths and, even more obviously, the trial against Elisabeth Dabers, Christian Wedens “wife”. The Duke of Mecklenburg forbade the burning of witches in 1688. The farming family Weden lost their belongings despite the ban. Mrs. Weden was denounced by Herr von Holstein zu Lukow, put on the stake "with the fewer from life to death", and the judge of the city, Baron von Maltzan, was 30 thalers richer. A comprehensive list of victims of the witch hunt in Mecklenburg is on display in the museum.

Recent history

In 1833 the city's hard-earned wealth was destroyed in a fire. 116 barns burned down. From 1879 to 1889 the lawyer and later castle researcher Otto Piper was mayor of Penzlin. In 1885, Penzlin was connected to the Mecklenburg Southern Railway network on the Neubrandenburg-Parchim line. In the course of reparations payments, the line was dismantled in 1945/46.

With the November Revolution of 1918, the Maltzans lost their last rights vis-à-vis the citizens of the city, including jurisdiction and patronage over the church and school. Penzlin was a small country town . In addition to trade, craft or trade, the citizens mostly ran a small farm.

In the early morning of April 30, 1945, the Red Army entered the city without a fight. “Looting, rape, shootings and suicide did not stop. Around 230 people committed suicide in Penzlin. It was an inferno. On May 1st, the city was infected by the Russians. Penzliners who wanted to extinguish were hindered and threatened ” .

In December 1945 the Soviet secret police NKVD arrested nine young people for alleged belonging to the " werewolf ". A Soviet military tribunal sentenced two to the death penalty and seven to prison terms of between 10 and 25 years. At the funeral of one of the victims in 1950, the funeral service with 300 participants from Penzlin turned into a demonstration against the newly founded GDR. Since then, those who died in custody in the GDR were no longer allowed to be publicly buried.

The inner city, which was partially destroyed by the Soviet arson in 1945, was built on with different types of houses during the GDR era.

From 1952 to 1994 Penzlin belonged to the district of Waren (until 1990 in the GDR district of Neubrandenburg , then in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania). In 1994 the city was incorporated into the Müritz district. Since the district reform in 2011 , the city has been in the Mecklenburg Lake District .

In 1989, many citizens took part in the Monday demonstrations in Penzlin and thus fought on a “small scale” for the turnaround towards a new democratic order in Germany.

In 1990 Penzlin became a model town for urban development funding in the new federal states. In the period that followed, the castle area and the historic town center were renovated.

In June 2019, the CDU parliamentary group formed a counting community with the only AfD representative for the constituent city representative meeting. This allowed the CDU to claim more seats in committees. The AfD representative now has seats on the auditing and school and culture committee. Without the cooperation with the CDU, the AfD would not have got a seat on a committee. It was the first such collaboration between the CDU in Germany and the AfD.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of the city of Penzlin
Blazon : “Split; in front in gold a half-looking black bull's head at the crack with a closed mouth, a knocked out red tongue and silver horns, on the head a half-growing golden lily; at the back divided nine times by red over silver. "

The coat of arms was redrawn in 2003 by the Schwerin heraldist Heinz Kippnick as part of the flag approval . It was established on April 10, 1858 by Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and registered under No. 91 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Reasons for the coat of arms: The coat of arms is based on the coat of arms of SIGILLVM CIVITATIS PENCELIN - first handed down as an imprint in 1328 - and was determined in its current form in April 1858. On January 30, 1941, the city's governor in Mecklenburg confirmed a coat of arms that had been slightly modified by Prof. Hans Herbert Schweitzer from Berlin , but which lost its validity soon after World War II: Split; in front in gold a half-looking black bull's head at the crack with a wide open mouth, silver teeth, a knocked out red tongue, torn neck fur and black horns, on the head a half-growing red lily; at the back divided eightfold by red over silver. The design of the restored emblem probably imitates the coat of arms of the Ascanian line of Count Anhalt, from which the wife of Nicholas I, Herr zu Werle, came. Instead of the half eagle, however, the half Werlean bull's head was placed, the rear nine-fold division was retained, but tinged in the Brandenburg colors. This could have illustrated the change in the rulership structure in the state and town of Penzlin. While the half bull's head clearly points to the Lord zu Werle as the feudal and city lord at that time, the rear ninefold division should remind of the previous feudal bond to the margravial Brandenburg line of the Ascanians.

flag

The flag was approved on April 24, 2003 by the Ministry of the Interior.

The flag is evenly striped in red and yellow across the longitudinal axis of the flag cloth. In the middle of the flag is the city coat of arms, one third of the length of the red and yellow stripes. The length of the flag is related to the height as 5: 3.

Official seal

The official seal shows the city coat of arms with the inscription "STADT PENZLIN • LANDKREIS MECKLENBURGISCHE SEENPLATTE".

St. Mary's Church

The parish church of St. Marien is a three-aisled hall church made of bricks with four bays and a square west tower with side halls and a portal vestibule. It dates from the 14th century, the south chapel (early Gothic) probably from the 13th century. The tower was torn down in 1725 up to the ridge of the nave . The theologian Erhard Johann August Wüstney (1791-1854) was active in the parish from 1817 to 1837 as a pastor. From 1877 to 1878 the church was extensively restored by Georg Daniel . In addition, a choir bay was added on the east side. In the west, a tower protruding over the roof was rebuilt in place of the preserved tower substructure with a bell storey. The interior alterations, including the furnishings, were considerable. In the naves, the wooden baroque cove ceilings were massively vaulted, and massive built-in galleries were built into the aisles . The patronage family von Maltzahn was also the client for the renovation.

Old castle

The Old Castle was built in the 13th century and the Hexenkeller followed in 1560. It was the secondary residence of the Princes of Werle and, from 1501, the ancestral seat of the von Maltzan family . The castle has been partially uninhabitable since the 18th century and has been owned by the city since 1941. The restoration of the preserved remains of the castle began in 1991. Today, the Museum of Cultural History for everyday magic and witch persecution in Mecklenburg and a castle restaurant are located here . Every year on the penultimate weekend in August there is a medieval castle festival; In addition, Walpurgis Night is also celebrated at the castle.

Slavic ramparts

The Slavic rampart on the Penzlin city lake is a smaller complex that was protected by ramparts. It dates from the 10th to 12th centuries, but was still used in the early German period. The facility was built on a peninsula in the lake and additionally protected by a wide ditch facing the mainland. The moat is easy to see in seasons with little vegetation. The weir system is approximately 40 meters wide and 70 meters long and has an oval floor plan. It has two larger gates, one in the direction of the sea and one in the direction of Penzlin. Another castle wall, the Grapenwerder , is located in the north of the city. The wall is circular, has a diameter of about 160 meters and rises 60  m above sea level. NHN .

Slavic Landwehr walls: In the south of the city boundary between Klein-Vielener See and Prillwitz there is the Iron Gate, Isern Purt in Low German , an old Slavic Landwehr (Landwehr) with two to four walls and moats. The weir system was a border fortification, which, taking advantage of natural obstacles such as the Wedensee, the small town lake, and following the rosewood to Prillwitz, represented a well-equipped obstacle. An old map shows the medieval water level and the course of the stream, there is a field name between Wedensee and the Kleiner Stadtsee, the Teufelsbrück (a historic passage through the weir). Partly swampy parallel trenches and partly water-bearing brooks in them, beginning at Klein Vielener See and ending at Prillwitz / Zippelow, form the old Landhemme. At the ends of the Wedensee the complex is still preserved as a ground monument with approx. 2 to 3 meter high earthen walls, also in the rosewood. The water level in Wedensee could be regulated from time immemorial, in a drainage ditch to the Klein Vielener lake a weir, carved from large field stones, is still visible for a plank wall.

Johann Heinrich Voss House

In March 2019, in the former Rector's House in Penzlin, where Voss went to school, the “Johann-Heinrich-Voss-Haus” opened a literary house with a city library, tourist information and a permanent exhibition entitled “Johann Heinrich Voss. A Greek from Mecklenburg. "
