geography

Baltic beach and steep coast in Boltenhagen

Boltenhagen is located north of the small towns of Grevesmühlen and Klütz , about 20 kilometers west of the Hanseatic city of Wismar and 30 kilometers east of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck . The community is located in Klützer Winkel directly on the Baltic Sea coast of Boltenhagen Bay as part of the Mecklenburg Bay . The Tarnewitz peninsula with the Tarnewitzer Huk and the adjacent fishing port was washed up in the 1930s by the Reich Labor Service on the remnants of the former Lieps peninsula near the mainland . The fortified area served as a military test airport for testing aircraft weapons until 1945. The facility, known at the time as the Tarnewitz test site , was also used by the See test site located on the Priwall .

A cliff up to 35 meters high joins the beach coast to the west. This is resulting in the last ice age Glazialschuttküste with attachments shade of blue, boulder clay, clay, chalk and rubble.

The districts Boltenhagen, Redewisch, Tarnewitz and Wichmannsdorf belong to the community.

history

Boltenhagen

Boltenhagen was first mentioned in a document as Longa Indago in 1325 and for the first time as Boltenhagen in 1336, when tax issues and jurisdiction were clarified.

Around 1803 Kegel-Westphal brought a bathing cart from Hufe V to the beach in Boltenhagen and opened the bathing business, which claims to be the second oldest seaside resort in Mecklenburg. The chronicle shows that from 1830 Boltenhagen advanced from a fishing and farming village to one of the most important seaside resorts on the Baltic Sea. The beach, which was three kilometers long at the time, was identified in several papers as stone-free .

In 1840 there were about ten carts, in 1890 there were already 1260 bathers and by 1900 there were already 50 bathing carts on the beach. In 1810 some farmers left their own room in Boltenhagen to strangers and slept in their farm buildings.

In 1830 the Wismar pastor Johann Joachim Hartwig Meyer came to the small fishing village of Boltenhagen near Klütz, consisting of ten houses. He worked tirelessly here for the expansion into a family bath , in which, as he wrote, undemanding pastors and much-troubled schoolmen should find rest and relaxation. In contrast to the aristocratic luxury baths Heiligendamm and Putbus, he demanded that Boltenhagen be spared all luxury, which might make life more splendid and shiny, but not more pleasant .

In 1834 there was the first tourist list, which recorded 200 guests a day. In 1838 the carpenter Reese built the first lodging house Hotel Baltique in Boltenhagen. In 1845, innkeeper Johann Jacob Wiechmann from Dassow built the noble Kurhaus Grand Duke of Mecklenburg . In 1852 there were already 642 guests in the village. Fritz Reuter came to Boltenhagen for the first time in 1855 and visited the place regularly until the 1860s. He wrote the following lines about Boltenhagen:

If you want to refresh your nerves, if you want to wipe away your worries, if you want to plague your stomach, that leads confidently to Boltenhagen!

In 1861, Pastor Meyer founded the Beautification Association, which expanded promenades and promoted the creation of more parks. In 1868 Boltenhagen was given an independent municipal council headed by a village mayor, which was also responsible for the bathing administration. In 1872, on the night of November 12th to 13th, almost everything was destroyed by the great storm surge . A flood stone on the chapel (built in 1872) reminds of the catastrophe and shows the water level of the flood.

In 1880 the first steamers appeared off Boltenhagen. 21 houses were already standing again after the flood, and Pastor Meyer came to Boltenhagen for the 50th time. In his honor, the residents put a memorial stone next to the church. The first beach chairs were introduced in 1882 . The pool was dubbed the Hamburg nursery around 1900, due to its proximity and the very suitable conditions for children and non-swimmers.

In 1911 a 300 meter long pier was built near the Kurhaus. In the difficult times after the First World War, from 1919 to 1922, the Reutergeld , an emergency money only valid for Boltenhagen, was issued.

On July 5, 1929 Boltenhagen was given the title Ostseebad . From 1935 to 1939 the airfield in Tarnewitz was built for aircraft and rocket armament. With the Second World War, bathing traffic collapsed. The guest quarters were occupied by evacuees and refugees. The pier was destroyed in the ice winter of 1941/1942.

With the Augusta house , the first FDGB vacation home of the later GDR was available on the Baltic coast in 1947/48 . The Boltenhagen blind sanctuary and the Protestant children's sanatorium were opened. In 1953, in the course of Aktion Rose , many hotel and pension owners were expropriated. During the GDR era, the Kombinat Polygraph Werner Lamberz established and maintained a company holiday camp for its apprentices from all parts of the country.

The new school building was opened on September 1, 1956. On July 8, 1976, Boltenhagen received the title of State Recognized Resort . After 1990 many thousands of guest beds were created in hotels, guest houses and holiday homes as well as numerous restaurants and cafes. The historic spa architecture has been restored. Since 1992 the new pier has protruded 290 meters into the Baltic Sea.

On March 20, 1998, Boltenhagen received the title of state-approved sea spa . The new Kurhaus was opened in 2000.

For the victims of the GDR maritime border (174 refugees died trying to leave the GDR by sea), a memorial stone was set up next to the pier in 2000. In 2002 the new concert shell and the drinking spa hall were inaugurated.

On July 1, 2011, Boltenhagen lost its status as an unofficial municipality when it became part of the Klützer Winkel office .

Talking

Redewisch was first mentioned around 1230. In 1803, Count von Bothmer set up a bathing cart near Redewisch. The estate was owned by the Lueder family from 1817 to 1945. The classicist manor house dates from 1818, the extension from around 1900. In 1952 it was a holiday home. It has been a hotel since 1999 after the last owner family bought it back.

On July 1, 1950, Redewisch was incorporated.

Tarnewitz

Tarnewitz was mentioned in the Ratzeburg tithe register in 1230 . The yacht and fishing port opened on the peninsula in 2008. More hotels and a holiday resort were added.

Wichmannsdorf

Wichmannsdorf was first mentioned in a document in 1313. Heinrich , Prince of Mecklenburg, confirmed to the knight Johann Rike the property in Wichmannsdorf and Steinbeck that Gerhard von Hagen had bought. In 1333 Wichmannsdorf was awarded to the Reinfeld monastery in Holstein .

coat of arms

Blazon : "In blue under two diagonally crossed golden lifting hooks a silver eight-spoke steering wheel, accompanied on both sides by two golden leaves of the maple." The coat of arms and the flag were designed by the Weimar heraldist Michael Zapfe . It was approved on May 19, 2014 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under the number 353 of the coat of arms of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Crest Reason: The national emblem is the Rodehacken referred in part to the emergence of the place as deforestation village, on the other hand pointed to agriculture as a source of income of the inhabitants. According to the principle pars pro toto (one part for the whole), the steering wheel stands for shipping and thus for both tourism and traditional fishing. The maple leaves symbolize a scenic feature in the communal corridor, the so-called Tarnewitz Primeval Forest, which is mainly characterized by field maple trees.

flag

The flag is striped lengthways in blue, yellow and blue. The blue stripes each take up one sixth, the yellow stripe two thirds of the height of the flag cloth. In the middle of the yellow stripe is the municipal coat of arms, which is five sixths of the height of the flag. The relation of the height of the flag cloth to the length is like 3: 5.

Official seal

The official seal shows the municipal coat of arms with the inscription "GEMEINDE OSTSEEBAD BOLTENHAGEN • LANDKREIS NORDWESTMECKLENBURG".
