history

Toddin was mentioned for the first time as Todin in the Isfried partition contract drawn up on April 3, 1194 in Ratzeburg . The Ratzeburg bishop Isfried agreed with the cathedral chapter that from now on this should receive a third of the tithe from the Toddin monastery.

The place name is traced back to a personal name, but is also derived from the Old Slavic word Toda and interpreted as the place of Toda .

Toddin was settled very early, which is proven by numerous finds from different periods. An urn grave from the pre-Roman Iron Age was excavated on the Toddiner Feldmark. Four pits with Slavic pottery shards were found at Mühlenbach. A smelting of lawn iron ore took place as early as the 4th century, as shown in a kiln that was excavated in Toddin. The Oll Castle is mentioned in a document in 1128 . It was on the south-west corner of the village and consisted of a castle, living space and building yard. It was a castle complex made of wood and earthen walls, certainly of Wendish origin.

From 1194 to 1230, a colonist Henricus Huscit (Huxit) appears as a locator in Toddin. He must have been a very active man because he appeared as a locator in several places. His family, belonging to the country's vassals, died out in the same century. At that time Toddin was a spiritual and knightly communion village, it partly belonged to the cathedral chapter Ratzeburg and the colonists already mentioned.

From 1432 a squire Hans von Pentz took possession of Toddin as a feudal man. In 1505 Hans von Pentz on Toddin was violently killed by Achim von Lützow . According to state law, the following penance was pronounced: When the Versall Achim Lützow had killed his comrade Hans Pentz in 1505, Duke Heinrich had a contract between that person and the heir of the other mediate that the murderer would pay them 300 guilders in the Rhineland, 50 women and virgins of nobility at the funeral, also gave 30 pounds of wax and 30 pairs of shoes plus 2 pieces of cloth to the poor and finally organized a pilgrimage to Einsiedeln for the salvation of the slain.

In 1615 Hartwig von Pentz also bought the estate in Cammin . The Pentzer family stayed until 1670. The legal successor was Duke Friedrich zu Grabow, a brother of the ruling Duke Adolf Friedrich , in 1672 . In addition to Toddin, he also bought Pätow, Grünenhof and Quast. Toddin became a ducal domanial village and became the office of Schwerin.

As early as 1624 there was a glassworks on the Hüttenkanp in Toddin . Jost Gundlach's grave slab from 1686 is in the church in Hagenow .

In 1677, 1772 and 1836, the von Pentz families brought reluctance and revocation lawsuits to get their property back. But in the last instance these were rejected by the Rostock Higher Appeal Court on March 7, 1850 with costs.

grange

The mansion was a two-story half-timbered building with eleven axes . When and by whom it was built is unknown. It was demolished during the GDR era. The manor was laid out in a square, the mansion stood on the short front side. Stables and barns opposite each other on the long sides. Only the cattle house stood a little apart on a slight hill.

The first tenant was the bailiff von Paepke zu Quassel , he was followed by Hagemeister and in 1859 Lüpke. In 1880 Wilhelm became tenant and in 1912 Werner von Arnswalde. In 1932 the Toddin estate was relocated.

chapel

The small half-timbered chapel was built in 1520 by Joachim von Pentz as an expiation chapel for his father Hans von Pentz, who was murdered by Achim von Lützow in 1505. It was consecrated and confirmed on November 11, 1520 by Bishop Heinrich von Ratzeburg . The small half-timbered building of twelve axes had a steep hipped roof with plain tiles and a chimney. The year 1745 was incorporated on the weather vane at the western end of the roof. Inside the chapel was the family vault of the von Pentz family.

The chapel had a free-standing belfry and was surrounded by a cemetery. The church bell was cast in 1745 and the lower field was decorated with various small round pictures the size of coins.

In front of the western entrance there was a strange grave monument that imitated the shape of a handle urn and contained a highly characteristic inscription until the middle of the 20th century . The deceased Christian Friedrich Hartwig von Lützow is supposed to continue his beautiful business as chamberlain and chief forester more beautifully and unhindered in a higher area .

In 1956 the chapel is said to have been demolished and leveled due to its dilapidation. The tombstone has also disappeared. Today there is a small, simple building on the square.
