History and etymology

16th and 17th centuries

Schwerin was mentioned for the first time as Zewerin and Zcwerin and thus comparatively late in a loan document from Elector Joachim von Brandenburg to the brothers Hans and Christoph Schenk zu Landsberg , dated July 22, 1546 . This Slavic name means something like game or wild garden. Around 1600 six farmers and three smallholders lived in the village. In 1624 there were six hoofers, three kötter and one shepherd. The Schulze farmed two Hufen and paid a thaler and 18 groschen, the Hufner one taler and the Kötter twelve groschen in taxes. The shepherd paid a guilder. In the Thirty Years' War , the town, like many other villages was almost completely destroyed and was almost deserted . According to tradition, the land rider Michael Kienitz only met the farmer Hans Lew with his stepson Martin in 1652. In 1658 the place was referred to as a "desolate village with only one kötter". In 1658, the Landsberg taverns handed the place over to the Ideler family, but bought it back in 1681. In 1682 only the Kötter lived in the village. The desolate farm fields were leased to one of the innkeepers.

18th century

The population grew slowly at first due to the influx of more people. In 1711 five hoofers, a kötter and a shepherd lived in the village. They paid four groschen for seven hooves. In 1752 the Schulzenstelle was filled again. In addition, there were another six kötter and a househusband "with a newly built house (his property)". In 1771 there were seven gables (= residential houses) in the village; there was a shepherd and the dues had remained constant at four groschen. With the sale of the Schenkenländchen to the Prussian state, Schwerin also came under the rule of King Wusterhausen in 1717 . In an original document from the Brandenburg State Main Archive for the Teupitz rule , the place was named Zwirne in 1752 .

19th century

In 1801 six whole farmers, one Ganzkötter, one Büdner and four residents lived in the village. They operated nine fireplaces (= households). In 1840 there were ten residential buildings. In 1843 there was a fire in the community in which three residential buildings were destroyed. In 1858 there were seven farm owners who employed five servants and maids. Two part-time farmers worked in the village as well as twelve workers. There were nine properties. Seven were between 30 and 300 acres (altogether 1257 acres), two under five acres (altogether four). There was a merchant, a ship owner with two boatmen and an electric vehicle, but also three arms. In 1860 there were 12 residential and 13 farm buildings in the village. In the course of the Prussian reforms in 1863, each farmer received 200 acres of land. In 1893 the first school opened under the direction of Alexander Haldensleben .

20th and 21st centuries

Former municipal administration

At the turn of the century, a total of 200 people lived in Schwerin in 1900: 101 women and 99 men. In 1923 the place was connected to a central electricity supply. The municipality made additional land available through a subdivision , and so the number of residents rose to 378 in 1925, who lived in 111 houses. There were also villas and summer houses that were mostly inhabited by Berliners . The first handicraft businesses, four trading companies and two restaurants emerged. The volunteer fire brigade was founded in the same year. Also in 1925, the community erected a war memorial for those killed in the First World War and handed it over to the Landwehr Association in 1903. Three years later, the Teupitz manor district dissolved. The Schweriner See, the Schweriner Horst peninsula within it , the Mielitzsee and part of the Teupitzer See came to Schwerin. The residents built the Horstbrücke the following year and settled on the peninsula from 1928 after a petition for the establishment of a natural monument did not find the required majority. In the 1930s, more craft businesses emerged, including a hairdressing salon and a locksmith's shop. After the end of the Second World War , numerous expellees from the former German eastern regions settled here . Schwerin had almost 1000 inhabitants at that time. 110 hectares of land were expropriated and 64 hectares of which were given to the city of Teupitz.

In the elections in the Soviet Zone , the LDP received more than 50% of the vote and provided the mayor until 1954. In 1946 the school was closed to the upper classes; In 1956 the lower class trains followed. The first LPGs were founded in 1959 and 1960 , including LPG Type I ( spring storm ) under the direction of Fritz Bulicke . With effect from January 1, 1975, it was combined with the companies in Teupitz and Tornow to form an inter-company facility .

In 1961 and 1962 the citizens built a fire station , and in 1984 a culture and training room. In 1997 and 1998 the Birkenstrasse could be rebuilt. A year later, construction work began on a daycare center with a multi-purpose room, which was completed in 2000. In the same year the community built a sanitary and social building on the beach. In 2004 and 2005 a new bridge to the peninsula was built. In 2007 the volunteer fire brigade received a new fire station.
