history

Schmarsow was first mentioned in a document in 1249. At that time, Bishop Wilhelm von Cammin parish several villages, including Schmarsow ("Smarsowe"), to the new St. John's Church in Kartlow . The name is likely derived from the Slavic word smardz , which means morel . The place belonged since 1325 to the fief of the family von Moltzahn (later also spelling Maltzahn ), who had their seat at the Burg Osten . In 1681 Schmarsow came to Toitin through a marriage contract to Philipp Joachim von Parsenow . In 1686, the contract was extended to the possessions Schmarsow, Roidin , Teusin and Japzow , which belonged to the East House , on the condition that the estate should revert to the Maltzahns in the event of the Parsenow's extinction. The purchase price stated was 20,000 thalers. Philipp Joachim, who was cavalry master and military subcontractor for Christoph Bernhard von Galen , Prince-Bishop of Münster during the Dutch War 1672–1674 , had acquired other goods in the area and built the manor house called Schloss Schmarsow from his “spoils of war” . In 1750 the Borgwall suburb was laid out.

After the Parsenov family died out at the beginning of the 19th century, several branches of the von Maltzahn family tried to regain possession of the previous fief in lengthy processes. The Kummerower line did not prevail until 1844, but had to sell again in 1855. Schmarsow came into the possession of the von Heyden family on Kartlow until it was expropriated in 1945 . In 1865 the Vanselow- based Maltzahns leased the Schmarsower estate.

Apart from the manor house and a few remains, the structure of the manor is hardly recognizable.

In 1897 a train station of the Demminer Kleinbahnen Ost was opened in Schmarsow . It is externally changed and still available today. In Schmarsow there was a junction with a turnout point for the Demmin - Jarmen and Demmin - Altentreptow lines. In 1945 it was shut down, but in 1948 the order to rebuild (SMAD order 333 MRR) was issued. The Jarmen - Schmarsow section was opened in 1949; it guaranteed the supply of beet to the Jarmen sugar factory until 1958.

During the GDR era, the place and the surrounding area were shaped by cooperative agriculture (LPG).

On June 13, 2004 Schmarsow was incorporated into Kruckow. Until the merger with Kruckow Schmarsow was an independent municipality with the district Borgwall.

Church in Schmarsow

lock

The Schmarsower manor house was completed in 1698. The foundations of a previous building from 1625 and material from Ost Castle, which was abandoned after the Thirty Years War , were used. In 1796 a renovation took place, which gave the building its current castle-like character. In 1938 a dairy was set up in the cellar. After 1945, the Schmarsow community used the castle for residential purposes, cultural events and as a consumer outlet. In 2000 it was sold to the current owners who, after renovation, began to use it mainly for tourism.

Church and rectory

The Schmarsow Church was built between 1430 and 1440 as a Gothic brick building. From 1625 there is an epitaph of the Maltzahns in the church. In 1870 a renovation took place in which the church received its neo-Gothic wooden furnishings and a Grüneberg organ.

Renovation work on the half-timbered rectory built in 1815 began in 2003. The establishment of an exhibition on the two musicians from Schmarsow, Gustav Reichardt and Charles Voss, announced at the time, has not yet been realized.

Witch stone

The Hexenstein is located in the Ostener Holz at the intersection of Vanselow - Neu Tellin and Schmarsow - Roidin. The Hexenstein, also called Klemannstein (Clemensstein), used to be called the Hohe Stein. It is the relic of a prehistoric large stone grave (megalithic tomb). Two rows of large stones enclosed a square about 30 m long, about 7 m wide in the west, and somewhat narrower in the east. The stones were smashed and used to build roads (19th century). The stone slab of the Hexenstein was made as a garden table, but was later returned to the forest. A woman Kleemann (Clemens) is said to have been burned as a witch here, although she had passed the water baptism.
