history

With the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, Steinhagen came under Swedish rule and in 1815 Western Pomerania became part of the Prussian province of Pomerania .

The Gothic brick church was built by the neighboring Neuenkamp Monastery (today Franzburg) in the 13th century and was first mentioned in 1283. Jakob Liefer was pastor of the church from 1634 to 1639 .

The Prussian state domain has been managed in this way since 1819. According to the Prussian census, 126 people lived on the 491 hectare estate in 1871. The manor house from 1898 was built during the tenure of councilor Carl Gierke (1855–1909). After 1945 it was a residential and community center. The estate has been privatized since 2004.

The community was part of the Franzburg-Barth district until 1952 and then belonged to the Stralsund district in the Rostock district until 1994 .

In Steinhagen, due to its proximity to Stralsund, a large number of new apartments were built. The population rose from 1280 in 1990 to around 2500.

Krummenhagen: Good u. a. Owned by the family Justquinus of Goshen from Stralsund (17th c.); later domain that was relocated in the 1930s. The manor house dates from the 19th century.

Negast , formerly Nigas , has existed since the Neuenkamp monastery was founded around 1233.
