geography

Setzin borders among other things on the urban area of ​​Hagenow. De Beck and other ditches flow within the municipality . The federal  highways 5 and 321 are only about three kilometers away.

history

Significant grave finds in the area, in Körchow , Pritzier and in the Setziner area, point to the settlement area of ​​the Germanic tribes of the Longobards and Goths since the Bronze Age . After the migration of peoples , during which the Germanic tribes resident here moved south due to suspected climatic deterioration, Slavic tribes gradually invaded the area of ​​today's Mecklenburg. Records suggest that there was a Slavic castle in the area from the 7th to the 10th century, of which only a wall is evidence today.

Setzin and Schwaberow were first mentioned in 1230 in the Ratzeburg tithe register as Cetsin and Scarbenowe . Both villages were originally designed as rounds .

Several glassworks and estates with mansions in Setzin and Grünhof were built in the area.

The Grünhofer Herrenhaus had the GDR authorities demolished because the upper floor could look into the shooting range of the nearby military training area of ​​the National People's Army .

Friedrich Adolph Gottlieb von Eyben lived on the Setzin estate from 1830 to 1853 ; then it was acquired by Heinrich von Döring (1805–1880), and his son Heino von Döring lived here with his family until 1901. He was chamberlain to the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg , but had to sell his estate after an affair and leave Mecklenburg. The Hamburg banker Max von Schinckel became a subsequent owner. From 1934 to 1945 the estate belonged to the margarine producer of Walter Rau Lebensmittelwerke . On May 3, 1945, it was occupied and looted by American troops. After the Americans left, the Russians occupied the estate. A short time later, most of the estate's workers fled to the west. The appointed manager of the estate, Studt, was allowed to withdraw from the Russians unmolested with two horse-drawn carts to East Mecklenburg, where he had already worked before 1934. The so-called land reform smashed the economic structures and the land received refugees and displaced persons from East Germany. Initially there was a machine rental station for tractors and agricultural machinery for the " new settlers " on the farm . Later, a KfL spare parts store and workshops were located in the yard of the Setziner estate until the fall of the Wall . Apprentices from the socialist states were also accommodated and trained here. The neo-Gothic facade of the Setziner manor house was torn down in 1959. The ensemble of the manor that defines the townscape is a listed building. The reconstruction of the manor house was made possible by the privatization that took place in 2002.

Setzin has always been shaped by agriculture and forestry. Settlement of what is now the Ruhetal district did not begin until the beginning of the 20th century, and residential buildings in Setzin were only built between 1939 and 1941.

On May 26, 2019, the community merged with the neighboring community of Toddin to the east to form a new community of Toddin. The districts of Grünhof, Ruhetal and Schwaberow as well as the Clausenheim settlement belonged to the municipality of Setzin. It was administered by the Office Hagenow-Land , based in the city of Hagenow .
