geography

Geographical location

Stolzenburg is 4 kilometers west of the city of Pasewalk , 41 kilometers southeast of Anklam and 26 kilometers southwest of Ueckermünde . The place is located on a hilly plateau at 40 to 50 m above the HNH, which drops to a height of a few meters to the east towards the Ueckertal . The area is predominantly agricultural and forestry.

geology

The area is criss-crossed by several embankment-like Osers from the last Ice Age. In the stream and river valleys there were often peat hollows for fuel production. The Oser opened up gravel or sand pits in many places, later these Oser were placed under nature protection as geotopes and mining stopped and the areas renatured as far as possible.

History and etymology

Name-giving (the proud castle) for the place was the high Slavic castle wall , visible from afar , called "Schlossberg Stolzenburg", which is heavily damaged by agriculture. The castle was once on an island. The castle plateau is 7 to 9 m higher than the surrounding area. In Slavic times, the castle was the seat of a Ukrainian nobleman. At the northern foot of the castle there was a suburb settlement. So far, no archaeological excavations have been carried out, but there are superficial ancient, Middle and Yavonic ceramic finds, so that the complex can be dated from 600 to 1200.

Next to the castle is a Bronze Age (1800 to 600 BCE) shell stone (cult stone) as a ground monument. To the northeast is an early German (1230 to 1400) tower hill with a circumference of 55 meters. The ground monument shows finds of field stone foundations as well as adobe bricks in monastery format.

Stolzenburg was first mentioned in a document as " Stoltenborch castris " (ie Stolzenburg Castle) when Pomerania was divided between the dukes Bogislaw IV and Otto I on July 12, 1295.

Stolzenburg was only officially named as a place on November 11, 1314, when Johann and Konrad von Raven stated that they had sold income from 3 Hufen with two kossas in " Stoltenborch " (Stolzenburg) to the pastor of Papenburg . In 1579 the stone church of Stolzenburg was built. The village became Kirchdorf and was also designated as a farming village. It is known that a local half-farmer had already owned this farm since 1669. The Swedish register cards from 1696 show the place as a street village stretching from south to north with 13 buildings, including the church. A Krughof was already registered as a long lease in 1755. The 14 full or full farmers did not receive the long lease until 1803, all farms were then converted into free property in 1836. In the Prussian original table sheet (PUM) from 1835, Stolzenburg shows itself as a closed street village with the double row of farmhouses and the cottages arranged in between. In 1862 the village consisted of a double row of solid houses. These included: a sexton and school house, a poor house, a shepherd's house and 17 farm workers' cottages. The following were registered as farms: 14 whole farms, a half farm, a Krughof with an attached smithy, 5 Büdner and 5 Halbbüdner as well as a Dutch windmill. There were a total of 97 residential and farm buildings. The place had 303 inhabitants in 66 families. In 1871 Stolzenburg had 35 houses with 52 households and 233 inhabitants, in 1867 there were 297. All were members of the Protestant denomination. The measuring table sheets (MTB) from 1880 and 1920 show some farms more compact, but otherwise the village structure unchanged. The list of goods from 1905 registered 27 residential buildings with 36 households and 178 residents. In 1914 only 7 farmers (Gaude, Jürgens, F. Lafs, J. Lafs, W. Lafs, Schrötter and Tegge) were registered.

After the end of the Second World War , the structure of the village remained, after 1960 a relatively small LPG complex was built to the north .
