The village of Seilershof was given to the royal forester Johann Georg Seiler zu Lüdersdorf on May 16, 1754 by Frederick the Great . The new owner reclaimed the land and built residential and commercial buildings that still exist today.

The middle of the "Kleiner Wentowsee" in Seilershof used to form the border between Mecklenburg ( Fürstenberger Werder ) and Prussia .

Economy and Infrastructure

With the sanatorium Elisabethruh, the first health resort was built on Fischerwall in the 19th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, the hotel at Wentowsee and - on the site of the former bathhouse - the campsite in Seilershof were added. During the GDR era, the Hotel am Wentowsee was an FDGB home. A number of postcards, some of them very old, bear witness to the tourist use of Seilershof from the German Empire to the GDR. After 1989, various owners tried to renovate both the Hotel am Wentowsee and Elisabethruh and to operate them economically. All failed. The former sanatorium is now in ruins. In 2013, Anderson-Holding from Berlin, which, according to its own information, specializes in the acquisition, development and operation of care facilities and social housing, bought this ruin on the B96, including 12,000 square meters of land, for 19,000 euros as part of a forced sale. The new owner filed for bankruptcy less than six months later.

The hotel on Wentowsee has also had a new owner since 2015. The owner of Taxi Berlin, Hermann Waldner, bought the property on the lakeshore in order to reopen it as a hotel and restaurant and to connect it to his hotel in Dannenwalde Castle by means of a water shuttle .

On August 11, 2018, the community celebrated the annual promenade festival on the grounds of the Seilershof campsite for the 20th time.
