Sennin

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sennin desert , also called Senin , was a medieval village on the island of Usedom .

geography

The place was west of the now silted up Zerninsee , whose name is derived from the place or vice versa. The lake was located in the Swinemoor southwest of Swinoujscie and north of the Golm. On the one hand the deep moors and the now silted lake and the geological formations of the Golm with the chalk deposits in the northern foothills.

history

In 1921, the archaeologist Adalbert Holtz discovered 13 burial mounds from the Slavic period in the area northwest of the Zerninsee . Some were excavated and Slavic pottery shards appeared next to the corpse fire. In the 1970s, more mounds were excavated, as Slavic barrows are very rare and otherwise only occur on Rügen near Ralswiek . Superficial finds completed the results. To the north and south of this group of graves, several burial mounds with finds from the Bronze Age (1800 to 600 BCE ) were found during further visits around 2004 .

Sennin was first mentioned in a document in 1256 as "Scenin". The Slavic name of the place is interpreted as "hay". This document gave Duke Barnim I the monastery Dargun villages Garz and Kaseburg , in describing the limits were Sennin and Kutzow called.

In 1277 the Bishop of Cammin , Hermann von Gleichen , donated the village to the Stolpe Monastery in memory of his deceased brother Ernst von Gleichen, who was buried in the monastery . It should also serve as compensation for the loss of land at Korswandt , which had arisen after border disputes with the Grobe monastery .

In 1468 the villages of Sennin, Korswandt and Zirchow were sold to the monastery, which had meanwhile moved to Pudagla.
