history

Surname

The old Polish name Tĕšin stands for a personal name which translated could mean joy or consolation . The name changed from Tessyn (1253) to Ticino (after 1400) only insignificantly. The town of Cieszyn in Poland, which was mentioned precisely as Ticino in 1223, has a similar etymology .

middle Ages

The place was first mentioned as Wendish Fliehburg in 1121. At the beginning of the 13th century, German craftsmen and merchants settled here, and the construction of the castle, which was first attested to as a German castle in 1253, also took place at this time. Ticino has belonged to Mecklenburg since 1323 , after being granted city rights shortly before . Ticino became a state town in Mecklenburg and as such was one of the towns in the Wendish district that were represented in the Mecklenburg state parliaments of the states united in 1523 until 1918 . In 1343 the city was named as an oppidum . In 1350 the St. John's Church was consecrated . The Mecklenburg bailiff had his seat at the castle until around 1540 .

The city was completely destroyed in the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War . After gradual reconstruction, a large part of the village was devastated by fires in 1728 and 1741. Ticino developed into a typical Mecklenburg country town in the 18th and 19th centuries. From the end of the 19th century, with industrialization in Germany, the economic upswing also began in Ticino. A dairy was built in 1893, and with the commissioning of the Rostock – Ticino railway line in 1895, further industrial settlements in rural areas followed, such as the construction of a sugar factory in the same year. The Ticino narrow-gauge railway transported sugar beet and other goods from 1896 to 1963. In 1908 a gas station was built and the hospital opened in 1912.

In 1935 a new town hall was built on the old market in the place of the old town hall.

At the end of the 1980s, the old town of Ticino fell into disrepair, and as is customary in the GDR, a prefabricated residential area was built instead of extensive renovations to meet the demand for housing.

Not far from Ticino in a wooded area on the road to Laage , a restricted military area was set up in the 1960s . The GDR's National People's Army built a secret bunker in the 1970s . It was the main command post (HGS) of the People's Navy of the GDR in the event of war.

After reunification , Ticino was included in the urban development program in 1991 and the historic city center was declared a redevelopment area. In the period that followed, streets, squares, houses and public buildings were renovated and the vacant lots in the old town were closed with modern residential and commercial buildings. The entire infrastructure was renewed and modernized.

In addition, the Am Tannenkopp industrial estate, new residential areas (Gauswisch, An der Quelle), but also social housing and age-appropriate apartments have been built since 1990. Many vacant lots could be closed. A senior center was built and the hospital converted into a geriatric clinic. Various sports and leisure facilities, such as a leisure and wellness center with indoor swimming pool, mini golf course and tennis courts, a modern football and athletics stadium and, thanks to the renovation of the "old sugar factory", an ice and climbing facility have been created.

coat of arms

The coat of arms was established on April 10, 1858 by Friedrich Franz II , Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. It is registered under the number 103 of the coat of arms of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Blazon : “Split by a blue pole; on the right, in gold, a half-looking black bull's head with silver horns, a golden crown and closed mouth at the gap, raised by a blue six-pointed star, on the left, in red, half a silver lily at the gap. "

The coat of arms was redrawn in 1996.

When Heinrich the Lion was granted city rights in 1320/21, Ticino also received the coat of arms and seals. The oldest surviving one, which corresponds to the coat of arms, is on a document in Lübeck from the year 1364. From 1590 on there is a somewhat larger seal. The coat of arms now consists of four parts:

• Bull's head for Mecklenburg, the neck skin is not available, as the Ticino people historically belong to the Rostock branch of the House of Mecklenburg.
• Lily, which cannot be clearly interpreted, because it can stand for innocence and purity, but also have something to do with the former Danish sovereignty. The daughter of the Danish king Waldemar, besides Ticino, also had Ribnitz, Sülze and Gnoien as personal items when she became engaged to Heinrich II of Mecklenburg. The lily can also go back to the Schack family , who have it in their coat of arms and who were wealthy in the area of ​​the city.
• Blue stake, it probably stands for the Recknitz as an important border river to Pomerania.
• Stern, it may represent a former fortification of Ticino. But it can also be interpreted as insignificant jewelry.
