Gut Rottmannshagen around 1860, Alexander Duncker collection

Rottmannshagen was originally mentioned in a document under the Slavic name Rathenow . The ending -hagen has been mentioned since the beginning of the 14th century, and the name has been further Germanized over the centuries.

Cavaliers house Gut Rottmannshagen

In 1482 Hartwig von Moltzahn received the estate, ushering in a centuries-long period in which the von Maltzahn family owned the place. It was a pertinence to the Maltzahnschen Gut Kummerow. But it changed within the family. Rottmannshagen was destroyed in the Thirty Years War. The baroque manor house was built from 1728 to 1732 on behalf of Axel Albrecht von Maltzahn . In 1840 Peter Joseph Lenné was commissioned to design the palace gardens. In 1862 Hellmuth von Maltzahn had to sell the estate because of economic difficulties; the Wahnschaffe family took it over and managed it until it was expropriated in 1945.

With other Maltzahn possessions in the area, such as Zettemin or Duckow , Rottmannshagen formed a Pomeranian exclave in Mecklenburg for centuries, called dei säben D Address . This exclave was only dissolved in 1937, and the locations changed from the Demmin district to the Malchin district in Mecklenburg . In 1928/29 the manor districts in the Demmin district were dissolved, Rottmannshagen became a rural community with the Rützenfelde district.

From 1913 to 1945 Rottmannshagen had a connection to a narrow-gauge line of the Demminer Kreisbahnen West from Demmin via Stavenhagen to Bredenfelde . It was primarily used to transport agricultural products. Today there is a hiking trail on the former embankment between Rottmannshagen and Zettemin.

Shortly after the end of the war in 1945, the castle burned down. After the Second World War, the estate was converted into a state-owned estate and was mainly used for animal production. A large pig fattening operation was established. On January 1, 1951, the previously independent place came to the municipality of Zettemin . In 1972 he was removed from the municipality of Zettemin and became a district of Stavenhagen. Rützenfelde remained in the municipality of Zettemin. On January 1, 1983, Rottmannshagen moved to the Jürgenstorf community. After the reunification in the GDR, a large part of the previous infrastructure was closed, such as the shop, kindergarten and post office. In 1997 the property was sold and the owner set up a tree nursery there.
