history

Stolpe Castle

Stumble

The area around Stolpe on Usedom was settled early on, as can be seen from many early and prehistoric finds. 2.5 km north of Stolpe, south of the B 110, there is a Slavic castle, a Niederungsburg. The two-part system can still be seen on the satellite image. The visible remains are the castle's former moat system. There was an oval, almost square main castle, which was surrounded by an arch like a southern bailey. The north-south extension of the entire castle complex is approx. 120 m with a moat. Such castles were typical of the region in the Middle and Yaroslav times and were the residences of local Slavic noblemen and court (craftsmen, guards, merchants, etc.). Such castles certainly served the population as refuge even in times of war.

A short distance from this rampart is an early German tower hill castle (from 1230), which was probably built for the locator during the German eastward expansion. Another of these hill towers is located near the site, in what will later be the manor park. This is where the locator's seat was certainly relocated, because the local conditions there were better for the establishment of a mansion.

Stolpe was first mentioned in a document in 1218 as "Stolp". In the deed, Duke Bogislaw II allows the Grobe monastery to purchase arable land. The witness was a Thomas, a priest in Stolpe . The place name is derived from the Old Slavic word stlŭpŭ for column or "fish stand in the river", a device for fishing.

In the 1330s Martin von Winterfeld on Kagenow and the Plötzenburg (Plötz near Jarmen) sold part of his property on Usedom, including lands near Stolpe and Dargen, and bequeathed the proceeds to the Pudagla Monastery as a foundation .

From 1251 to 1754 the von Schwerin family owned the estate with an independent branch; then the families Gregorius Friedrich von Schmalensee (until 1783), von Lepel (until 1794), Krauthoff (until 1835), Vogel (until 1865) and Bernhard Graf von Schwerin and Erben (1895 until 1945). Schloss Stolpe of 1590 from the Renaissance was baroque and 1895 historicizing rebuilt.

The village is an angerdorf with a village pond, churchyard and church. South of the Angers was the dominant estate with a castle and northeast of the church was the village with the farm workers and craftsmen's cottages. To the south-east of the property was a large castle park, which is now much smaller and overgrown.

In 1648, after the Peace of Westphalia , Stolpe on Usedom became Swedish like all of Pomerania, and after the Peace of Stockholm on February 1, 1720, it became Prussian property. After the administrative reform in 1815, Stolpe came to the Prussian province of Pomerania and belonged to the district of Usedom-Wollin from 1818 to 1945 .

From 1835 to 1880 the village had expanded considerably, especially around the Anger, two windmills were built on site and a brick factory on the Achterwasser. These commercial facilities disappeared around 1920. In 1880, the village received a railway connection 1.5 km north with a stop on the Ducherow-Swinemünde route. Opposite the church in the castle park, a separate grave complex for the von Schwerin family was laid out, which is still there today.

At the end of the Second World War , the castle, estate and church were looted.

With the land reform of 1945, the estate was settled and given to new farmers, especially to refugees and displaced persons from Pomerania and East Prussia. At first they lived in the castle and the adjoining manor buildings, later the new farms were built, which further enlarged the place. The administration of the local MTS and the community facilities were later housed in the castle.

The last noble owner of the estate, Freda Countess von Schwerin, expropriated in 1945, died in Lüneburg in 1957 . The circumstances of her burial in Stolpe were processed literarily by Wolfgang Kohlhaase in 1977 and filmed by Heiner Carow in 1992 as the funeral of a countess .

In addition to the castle, the relatively large stables have been preserved, the other manor buildings are not as attractive. The place has developed into a tourist magnet, especially because of the now extensively restored castle. Otherwise the area is more dominated by agriculture.

Gummlin

Gummlin was first mentioned in 1282 as "Chummelyn". The place was often mentioned chronically and in documents. The name of the Slavic foundation is interpreted as "grave mound" but also as "threshing floor, threshing floor".

Gummlin is a street village from the form, a farming and fishing village from the function. It is right on the lagoon. Several settlements were spread out in the Feldmark, including the "Kiebitz-Krug" which was known at the time and belonged to Gummlin.

On July 1, 1950, Gummlin was incorporated.

Diki (desert)

Diki was first mentioned as such in 1317. After that there were no more mentions, the place fell desolate. The name is interpreted as a Slavic foundation with "wild". It was near Gummlin.

Lapwing pitcher (living space)

Kiebitzkrug was first mentioned in 1575 as "Kivitzkrugk". The name is self-explanatory - lapwing = the bird, jug = the restaurant. Several spellings existed until 1906. The place is on the road between Stolpe and Gummlin. In ancient times it was described as a farmer's cottage, the owner of which could neither live from agriculture nor from the jug, so both as a sideline. In the maps from 1835 (PUM) to 1920 ( MTB ) the property is always indicated as an independent place. It is still a separate place to live with a compact farm. The living space belongs to Stolpe, but is not considered a district according to the statutes.
