history

The manor in Wartin originally belonged to the von Blankenburg noble family. In 1717 Joachim Bernd von der Osten became the owner of the estate. After a few changes of ownership, the Society for the Promotion of Inner Colonization bought the manor in 1928 , divided it up and resettled 94 farmers with 25 hectares each.

In 1899 the village received a railway connection through the Casekow – Penkun – Oder small railway; the line was shut down after the Second World War.

The village belonged to the Randow district, formed in 1818, in the province of Pomerania . With the dissolution of the Randow district in 1939, the Greifenhagen district came into being .

On December 31, 2002, Wartin was incorporated into the Casekow community.

After 1933 a Gauführerschule was set up in the manor house .

After reunification , the Collegium Wartinum Foundation began to renovate the old mansion Schloss Wartin and keep it from deteriorating. The foundation also aims to make Wartin Castle usable for the purposes of the European Academy Association and to develop it into a center for art , culture and science .

The castle is inhabited by the two professors Hans-Joachim Mengel and Charles Elworthy , who are chairmen and directors of the European Academy. The two scientists use Wartin Castle for study weekends together with their students as well as for numerous other scientific, artistic and cultural activities.
