history

Dreizehnhausen

Dreizehnhausen was created after 1920 as a Wackerow extension . The name Dreizehnhausen was only introduced after 1945 , because at that time there were probably exactly thirteen residential buildings. But it wasn't until 1995 that the name appeared in the official municipal directories. Today the place is a popular place to live in Greifswald's bacon belt and has expanded accordingly.

Gross Petershagen

Groß Petershagen was first mentioned in a document in 1285 as "Petereshagen". It is a German foundation - -hagen means forest, so clearing in the forest. During the Thirty Years' War the place was totally desolate, then rebuilt after the war as an outbuilding with a side yard.

Parts of the estate including the park are still available. The village also had a windmill that disappeared before 1920.

Immenhorst

Immenhorst was first mentioned in a document in 1833, but was already owned by the Neuenkirchen estate of the University of Greifswald as a single farm in 1826/27. The name Immenhorst means "beekeeping in the forest". On the MTB 1920 the property was called "Hof Immenhorst". Immenhorst was not registered as an independent village until 1995 in the municipality register.

Great Kieshof

Groß Kieshof was first mentioned in 1343 as Kitzen . After many different name variants, the place was first called Kieshof in 1708 and then Groß Kieshof in 1957. Kitzen or Kietz means in Slavic - hut, apartment or house.

Jarmshagen (village)

The parish village of Jarmshagen was first mentioned as Germarshagen in 1280 . According to the name it is an early German clearing village. It was not mentioned as Jarmshagen until 1696 . In the first document mentioned, Bishop Hermann von Kammin gave the tithe from Jarmshagen to the Eldena monastery.

In 1281, Duke Bogislaw IV confirmed ownership of the entire village of "Germereshagen" to the Eldena monastery .

In 1357 the monastery sold the village to the city of Greifswald.

In terms of shape, it is a small village that only developed into a larger residential area after 1945. In the middle of the Angers stands the small church, more like a chapel, surrounded by a churchyard. To the west there is a forest farm 1.5 km away, which is probably part of the village.

Jarmshagen Hof I (Gut)

The Jarmshagen estate was laid out 650 m south of the village before 1880, according to MTB. It was relatively small and only had a farm workers' cottage. The manor house has been preserved, the farm buildings are mostly renewed in the LPG times.

Jarmshagen Hof II (S)

Courtyard II was laid out for another 600 m, i.e. 1.25 km south of the village, also before 1880. It was a three-sided farm and is now a place to live.

Jarmshagen Hof III (SW)

Hof III is located southwest of the village and is 1.2 km away. This was also laid out as a three-sided courtyard before 1880.

Jarmshagen Hof IV (SW)

Farm IV is located further south-west of the village, about 2 km away. This is also a three-sided courtyard from before 1880.

Klein Kieshof

Red deer in the Kieshofer Moor

Klein Kieshof was first mentioned with the name in the municipality register in 1932. It seems to have been laid out as a preliminary to Gut Groß Kieshof after 1835 (according to PUM) and before 1880 (according to MTB). For naming see Groß Kieshof.

Klein Petershagen

Klein Petershagen was only mentioned as such in 1884. For significance and foundation, see Groß Petershagen.

Steffenshagen

Directly next to Steffenshagen is an archaeological find area, where Eggers found an urn grave field from the pre-Roman Iron Age (600 BCE to 0) in 1889. This proves an early settlement of the area.

Steffenshagen was first mentioned in a document in 1285 as "Stephaneshagen". The basis was a large Slavic village called "Redos", which was divided in 1249 and rebuilt as a Hägerdorf separate from Wackerow. It was called "indago iuxta Wackerow". This was later distributed among two immigrants (Stephan and Peter). Afterwards the properties were called "Stephaneshagen" and "Petereshagen". That is the history of the origin of the name von Steffenshagen.

Steffenshagen had a relatively small estate, 450 m east of a farm, and further east, about 1.2 km away, the Steffenshagen Forestry Farm. The old village school is located north of the farmer's settlement. All three outdoor spaces still have the status and size of autonomous residential spaces under the name Steffenshagen. The shape of the original village was a manor village with the estate and the farm workers' data sheet.

Since 1896, Steffenshagen was affected by the Greifswald – Grimmen – Tribsees railway and had a stop there. But it was a standard gauge railway. In the summer of 1945, the line was dismantled as a repair except for small remains. There was no reconstruction.

Wackerow

During the construction of the Greifswald bypass, a late Slavic settlement (1000 to 1200) was archaeologically uncovered near Wackerow near the Ryck. There was also a late Slavic settlement in the place, which was archaeologically established, on whose territory a tower hill castle was erected in early German times (from 1230), the current tower hill "Venusberg". The satellite images show clear discoloration of the ground around the tower hill.

Wackerow was first mentioned in 1208 as "Wakare", 1248 as "Waccarogh" and 1249 as "Wacharogh". The Slavic name was interpreted as a "stunted tree", but it is assumed that the name was subsequently Slavicized and is actually a name given by Danish monks.

Until 1341, the village belonged to the Eldena monastery , which then sold the place to the city of Greifswald due to financial difficulties . Due to the plague epidemics and the Thirty Years War , the place almost completely disappeared from the map. Wackerow was completely cremated by the Swedes , only to be destroyed by the Wallenstein troops in 1628 after it was rebuilt . As early as 1635 the city of Greifswald decided to rebuild Wackerow. In 1660 the place was destroyed again by Brandenburg troops in the Swedish-Polish War . In 1681 Dutch and Cossack families were settled here by the city of Greifswald .

Wackerow has been touched by the Angermünde – Stralsund railway line since 1863, but only had a stop during the period when the branch to Grimmen existed there until 1945.

Wackerow had a considerable estate, of which only the manor house remained, the six large farm buildings no longer exist, the courtyard was almost completely built over after 1945, this also applies to the former estate park.

In terms of its layout, Wackerow was a manor village with the dominant manor and the farm workers' row running parallel to it to the west. After 1945 the shape of the village changed considerably, especially after 1990. Since Greifswald did not offer enough building sites for private homes, Wackerow, like the other surrounding villages, developed by leaps and bounds as a “bacon belt”.

A merger between the city and Wackerow requested by Greifswald was rejected in a referendum in Wackerow in January 2013 with 520 votes to 356. 1188 citizens were called to vote. Another attempt to merge failed again in August 2018 with 442 votes against and 417 for.

Thanks to the low trade tax multiplier, Wackerow was considered a “ tax haven ” for a while. Today, however, the rate has been brought back into line with normal values.

Wackerdahl (historical)

Wackerdahl was first mentioned in a document in 1278 as "Stutienshoff". With Stuterei earlier Schäferei- or Holländerei-outworks were called. It was not until 1358 that the name "Wackerdahl" was recorded. The name means that the place was lower (dahl) than the main town Wackerow. It was a Vorwerk west of Wackerow to his estate.

The farm was destroyed and desolate in the Thirty Years War, but rebuilt in the 18th century.

The place has been desolate since 1985. The contours of the cleared homestead can still be seen in the satellite image. The areas on the associated clearing were recently afforested.

Redeswitz (historical)

Redeswitz was first mentioned in documents as "Redos" in 1207. In 1221 the correct name will appear. The place near Wackerow is not exactly localized. T. Pyl assumed, however, that the place is not identical with Wackerow, but only lies in the Feldmark. During the construction of the Greifswald bypass, a larger Slavic settlement was archaeologically proven to the southwest of Wackerow, and it is probably this place. After 1241 the place was already desolate.

religion

16% of the residents of Wackerow are Protestant, only 3% Catholic. The Evangelicals belong to the parish of Gristow - Neuenkirchen of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany , to which the Jarmshagen Chapel also belongs. The parish of St. Otto , based in Greifswald , Archdiocese of Berlin , is responsible for the few Catholics , and the nearest church is the parish church of St. Joseph (Greifswald) .

politics

Coat of arms, flag, official seal

The municipality has no officially approved national emblem, neither a coat of arms nor a flag . The official seal is the small state seal with the coat of arms of the region of Western Pomerania . It shows an upright gryphon with a raised tail and the inscription “GEMEINDE WACKEROW * LANDKREIS VORPOMMERN-GREIFSWALD”.
