Vimfow
Vimfow is a district of the municipality of Mestlin in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .
The place is about eight kilometers west of Goldberg, 18.5 kilometers south of Sternberg and 22 kilometers north of the district town of Parchim .
history
To the northwest of Augzin was the village of Hogen Eutzyn , today's Vimfow, enclosed between the districts of Mestlin and Techentin. It was mentioned in the certificate issued on February 27, 1352 in Goldberg for the possession of Dankwardt Gustävel and his son Johann auf Mestlin. Eghardus, the provost of Dobbertin Monastery, was among the witnesses . Among the names of the rural residents is Henning Burlehosens, who had a farm in Mestlin and another in Augzin.
All that can be learned from documents and regestations is that until 1448 the right-hand heirs, Mr. Dankwart and the Gustävel brothers, owned the villages and field marks Mestlin, Ruest and Vimfow. Then the whole possessions went to the Dobbertin Monastery, where they remained for 470 years. Dankwardt and Gerhardt von Gustävel sold their fiefdoms in Mestlin and Hohen Augzin on January 8, 1448 for 1400 Stralmarks to Provost Nicolaus Berringer and Prioress Ghese Dessin of the Dobbertin Monastery.
On the field mark of located village before 1450 does not expressly desolate High Augzin that made Kloster Dobbertin 1448-1461 a Vorwerk , even dairy farm called building named Vimfow. On July 26, 1451, Bernd Gustävel left his goods in Mestlin, Rüest and Hohen Augzin with all rights in the presence of Duke Heinrich the Elder of Mecklenburg-Stargard. Duke Heinrich the Younger of Mecklenburg-Schwerin then sold his shares to the provost, the prioress and the convent of the Dobbertin monastery on December 16, 1452 .
Village
During Vimfow's independent estate years, four day laborer 's cottages were built on both sides of the road from Mestlin to Goldberg from 1860 to 1867 . In the summer of 1865, the tenant Rudolf Juergens uncovered an old grave with many urns and oak stakes while excavating the mold at a considerable depth. The Kadow farmer and local researcher Dr. Carl Michael Wiechmann interpreted this site as a settlement from the Iron Age. The small lake or pond was behind the Vimfow farm, not far from the Augzin border, hidden between once-wooded hills.
Further structural changes with a village character south of the country road did not take place until after 1953.
After the end of the Second World War , during the land reform in 1947, the former Vimfow estate was divided. 315 hectares of the Vimfow district were divided up to Neusiedler. On July 17, 1947, the newly arriving settlers bought their building plot at the same time as the field. At the time, 90% of the inhabitants of Vimfow were new settlers, many of them refugees from the war.

The manor house was built in Vimfower from 1859 to 1860 by the Dobbertiner monastery building yard. The master builder Paul Dreyer from building district IX in Lübz provided the design as early as 1856. After separating from Mestlin in 1861, it was leased to Rudolf Jürgens from Lübstorf as an independent farm at Vimfow. The lease agreement signed in 1861 by the Dobbertiner provisional Johann Heinrich Carl von Behr, Josias Hellmuth Albrecht von Plüskow and the monastery captain Otto Julius von Maltzan consisted of 80 pages with 35 paragraphs. Rudolf Jürgens remained the tenant, also known as the pensioner, until 1869. Then the Vimfow farm came back to Mestlin to the local tenant, Domain Councilor Hans Dehns. From 1861 to 1866, the cattle house, a massive barn, a sheepfold, a washing and baking house and the well were built on both sides of the manor house. Two half-timbered buildings not needed in Mestlin, the Viehaus and the Wagenschauer, were moved to Vimfow in 1862.
The manor house as an H-shaped building with a length of 142 feet (41.28 meters) is loosened up by the central wing with nine axes. The brick building on field stone foundations has a gable roof. The entrance in the central building is emphasized by a pointed front, pilasters crowned by turrets and strongly profiled gables. The medieval appearance is also created by the protruding brick layers on the cornices . The wall surfaces are rhythmically structured by pilaster strips on pedestals. The design of the gables of the transverse structures corresponds to the gable of the entrance. In 1919 the sheepfold burned down to the massive surrounding walls. On November 14, 1922, the owner of the farm, Berkemeyer, was robbed by two of his own bills; it was only 16 hundredweight of rye. After 1945 the manor house was divided into three apartments. The uninhabited central wing is not in good condition.
The two linden trees still stand in the courtyard and, together with the pond, form the rest of the former small estate park.

Say
Also some legends were and are told about Vimfow and the surrounding area.
- How Vimfow got its name
Little Vimfow is not far from Mestlin. One might suspect that the place name is derived from a Slavic word, but this is not the case. In the last decades of the 18th century, a dairy was built on the site of the long-gone village of Hohen Augzin so that the surrounding fields could be better cultivated from there. When the hereditary builders of the only residential building had almost completed the construction, one of them hit upon the idea of asking his colleagues what the dairy farm would be called. What someone else is said to have said without thinking twice : Fimfo . The construction workers laughed at the strange word and in fact it was later transferred as a proper name to the gradually developing settlement. The word itself was devoid of any meaning or meaning, just a mocking name, although even then it was suspected that the name would cause a lot of headaches for later generations.
- The Heidberg near Vimfow
On the border from Vimfow to Augzin there is a striking steep mountain. This is the Heidberg. At the foot of the mountain is a water hole where the border passes right through. Between the water hole and the Heidberg someone is supposed to ride a white horse. Although he has no head, he calls out: Here is de Scheid.
