Schwinkendorf is a district of the municipality Moltzow in the Mecklenburg Lake District in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (Germany).
geography
Schwinkendorf lies between Malchin and Waren (Müritz) . Located five kilometers southeast of Malchiner See , the local area has a share in the Mecklenburg Switzerland and Kummerower See nature reserve . The Schwinkendorf district borders the Rostock district in the north .
The districts of Langwitz, Lupendorf, Tressow and Ulrichshusen belong to Schwinkendorf.
history
The place Schwinkendorf is a German foundation from the early 13th century. The place was a free farming village, even if it was committed to the Hahn-Basedow estate . The estate economy only gained a foothold here in 1832. The manor was expanded into a stately complex between 1841 and 1902. Before 1945 the manor house served as a residence for the estate manager. After 1945 until the 1960s, the manor house housed the municipal administration (council of the municipality), a kindergarten and apartments. Today only the remains of the building are preserved. The local administration did nothing to counter the decay of the manor house. The small park around the war memorial also became overgrown and there was hardly any resistance to its removal when a residential building for the then LPG chairman was built on the site of the former war memorial. The memorial stone of the memorial complex is now in the village's churchyard near the entrance to the church tower.
In Schwinkendorf, as in the neighboring towns, there was an electrical power supply only since the 1950s. A central drinking water supply system also only existed since the late 1960s. Before that, the villagers only had water from private and a few public hand pumps. In the 1960s, the four-class elementary school was expanded to a ten-class polytechnic high school for the children from Schwinkendorf and the surrounding areas.
Since the 1940s, the place has also been shaped by people from Bessarabia who had to leave their homeland due to the Hitler-Stalin Pact and were brought " home to the Reich ".
In addition to agriculture, tourism (hotel, riding stables) now plays a role in the community, which is now only the location of a primary school and a day-care center.

Attractions
- Ulrichshusen Castle is one of the most important Renaissance buildings in Mecklenburg. The castle, built in 1562 and restored after a fire in 1624, was a refugee accommodation and shop after 1945, burned to the ground in 1987 and was restored from 1993. A park on Ulrichshusener See belongs to the palace complex used as a guest venue.
- The core of the village church in Schwinkendorf dates from the 13th century. In 1495, a free farmer donated the tower to the 250-year-old church. From the top of the tower, it is said, you could see Rostock , about 75 kilometers away . The current church tower hood was put on after a fire in 1894. There is a remarkable old rectory near the church.
- The current districts of Tressow and Lupendorf were manor villages, which is still recognizable today from the settlement structure.
- Witch oak at Ulrichshusen Castle with a chest height of 7.60 m (2016).
