history

The community was part of the Principality of Rügen until 1326 and then the Duchy of Pomerania . With the Peace of Westphalia of 1648, Rügen and thus also the area of ​​Sehlen became part of Swedish Pomerania . In 1815, Sehlen came to the Prussian province of Pomerania as part of New Western Pomerania .

Since 1818 the community has belonged to the district of Rügen . From 1952 to 1955 it was part of the Putbus district. The community then belonged to the Rügen district in the Rostock district until 1990 and became part of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in the same year. The district of Rügen, which has been called this again since 1990, was merged in 2011 in the district of Vorpommern-Rügen.

Sehlen was first mentioned in 1298 as Zele , (from the Slavic zeleny = green ). Sehlen was probably created as an independent place in the 15th century. It was owned by Erik von Barnekow in 1471 and remained in the possession of the von Barnekow family until the 19th century, who owned a courtyard surrounded by a few cottages. In 1820 the estate was allodified (divided) and in 1817 a brick factory, which was reopened in 1835, was built on the Feldmark.

Klein Kubbelkow was first mentioned in 1314 as Cublikowe ; at that time still together with Groß Kubbelkow. From the 14th century until 1945, the place and estate belonged to the von Barnekow family, who were widespread on Rügen . The old manor house was removed in 1963. The new manor house in the cottage style was built in 1908 as a historicizing half-timbered house and now houses a restaurant. The 4 hectare park, which was transformed from a small baroque park into a larger English landscape park in 1820/1830, is remarkable .

Coat of arms, flag, official seal

The municipality has no officially approved national emblem, neither a coat of arms nor a flag . The official seal is the small state seal with the coat of arms of the region of Western Pomerania . It shows an erect griffin with a raised tail and the inscription "GEMEINDE SEHLEN".
