history

Castle of the fortress Spantekow

Because in

Dennin was first mentioned as Donyn in 1289 . In 1698 the current spelling was used for the first time. The Slavic founding name means "oak wood". The old village center consisted of the church , which belonged to a branch community of Japenzin, later Iven, a school (now a residential building), a forge, residential houses and stables, grouped around a village green and a pond that was later used as a fire water pond . The wooden hose tower was demolished in the 1960s, and the remains of the tool shed are still standing.

Dennin was a typical manor village with the dominant manor and the farm workers' list. With the construction of the small train and the dairy, Dennin developed more and more away from an anger village.

Since 1897, Dennin was connected to the Kleinbahn Friedland-Jarmen of the Mecklenburg-Pomerania Narrow Gauge Railway (MPSB) and also got a still preserved station. The station had been called Wegezin-Dennin since 1950. The line to Janow and the other to Stretense also branched off near the village. The estate itself even received two siding via switches. In 1945 routes were partially dismantled. Until 1969 the “Kleinbahn” still ran from Anklam via Dennin to Friedland and back. Large quantities of sugar beets were temporarily stored on site and transported to the sugar factory in Anklam. The apartments around the station were reserved for Reichsbahn employees until operations ceased.

After the war, first new farmer settlements and then larger new buildings (3) were built southeast of the property, the focus of the village shifted here, the old village was then called Unterdorf. The manor house and some farm buildings have been preserved from the estate and expanded by the VEG (seed breeding); the farm continued to develop to the northeast. After the Second World War a house of culture was built.

There were two outbuildings. One was called Flemmingsfelde, where today only the long-time residents know where it was and only a few bushes remind of the location. The second was called Stern and consisted of a caretaker's house, three houses, stables and shed and was located at the old small railway junction. Stern was first mentioned as such in the index of places in 1822. In 1835 the place was also drawn in the Prussian original measuring table. Around 1900 it had a stop and its own siding on the Friedland-Jarmen small railway until 1945. After 1920 the place was already desolate. The last families moved to Dennin in the late 1960s.

On January 1, 1951, Dennin was incorporated into Wegezin . In 1990 a large garbage dump was created in the district of Ostvorpommern, now the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald. It is still in operation today. The cobblestone street and the trees and the garbage dump since the 1980s are still a reminder of this today.

Drewelow

Fasanenhof

Fasanenhof was laid out as a Vorwerk for Gut Drewelow before 1835 (according to Preuss. Urmeßtischblatt) and also named "Vorwerk Drewelow". It was not until 1957 that the name “Fasanenhof” was added to the place lists.

Fasanenhof is a typical manor village with the dominating estate (here Vorwerk) and the farm workers' list. This structure has remained almost unchanged to this day. Stables, the caretaker's house and other farm buildings as well as the small park are still there, only one building has collapsed, but with the surrounding walls it serves as a storage area.

A branch line of the Kleinbahn Jarmen – Friedland of the Mecklenburg-Pomerania Narrow Gauge Railway (MPSB) from Dennin via Spantekow to here ran to Fasanenhof since 1897 . Like all of them, it was dismantled in 1945.

Schwerinshorst

Schwerinshorst was first mentioned by name in 1865. It is located exactly 2.3 km south of the Spantekow fortress in the large Spantekow Forest, which belonged to the Schwerines and therefore bore their name. It was a forest farm in a rectangular clearing of the aforementioned forest. It is still inhabited today.

Spantekow

Spantekow was first mentioned in 1275 as "Spantecow" and in a document on August 12, 1321, and its Slavic name means "strong warrior". The castle Spantekow was in 1258 mentioned as "Castrum Spantecowe" for the first time. This castle was removed, only the remainder of a defensive tower remained in the northern part of the complex. From 1558 to 1567, the fortress and castle were built under Ulrich I von Schwerin. A baroque tower and both two-storey side wings were later added to the Renaissance castle. Until the Thirty Years' War the place was owned by the Schwerin family . The history of the place is closely linked to the history of the fortress. After the Thirty Years War , the facility became Swedish and was owned by the von Steenbock family. But as early as 1677 the great Elector Friedrich Wilhelm von Brandenburg besieged and conquered the place and the fortress and destroyed most of them. After the Northern War , the area south of the Peene, known as Old Western Pomerania, came to Prussia in 1720, the state withdrew the fief of Spantekow and kept it as a domain. The Schwerins litigated and won much later. From 1833 to 1945 the place and fortress were again owned by the Schwerin family after expropriation by the Prussian king.

After 1945 a retirement home was housed in the castle until 1990. The fortress was archaeologically examined several times and partially secured. In the 1990s, too, cleanups were carried out several times through job creation measures. The castle has been privately owned again since 1999.

Bruchmühle (desertification)

The Bruchmühle was first mentioned in 1698. The mill and living space were on the slope of the valley to the Großer Landgraben south of Spantekow. The mill stream came from Borntin and formed a reservoir in front of the mill in the erosion cut. The mill with living space was mentioned in the MTB (measuring table sheet) in 1920, everything has disappeared since 1932.

Lanzkron (desert)

Lanzkron, also Landskron, was first mentioned in a document as Dambrowe in 1183. The name means “oak forest” in Slavic. When the fortress "Landskron" was built in 1576–1579, the place, which was about 550 meters north of the current fortress, was renamed Landskron, but then to differentiate it from the fortress it was renamed "Lanzkron" because the entire area was "acquired" with the lance . has been. The name of the Vorwerk belonging to Janow existed until 1932. The name also still exists through the name of the forester's house Lanzkron, located southwest of Janow, according to MTB 1920, which is now called Forsthaus Janow.

Star (desert)

Stern was first mentioned as such in the index of places in 1822. In 1835 the place was also drawn in the Prussian original measuring table.

After 1920 the place was desolate and then after 1990 a large waste dump was created in the district of Ostvorpommern, now the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald, and operated to this day.
