history

Walkendorf

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1216. From 1273 to the beginning of the 16th century Walkendorf belonged to the Dargun monastery . Lords were u. a. the families von Moltke (1374–1830), Friedrich August Peters (until 1843), von Heyden-Linden (until 1859) and von Bassewitz (until 1876). Walkendorf was served by the Ticino narrow-gauge railway from 1897 to around 1963 , which transported various goods, in particular sugar beets to the sugar factory in Ticino . In 1910 there were 264 residents here. In the GDR era, the people's own estate was partly an experimental estate of the Berlin Agricultural Academy. On January 1, 1951, the previously independent communities Dalwitz and Friedrichshof were incorporated. After 1990 the estate was sold. In the community, the support association for home and culture care in the northern district of Güstrow has its domicile in the Alte Ausspanne .

On May 26, 2019, the two neighboring communities Boddin and Lühburg were incorporated.

Dalwitz

The landlords were the Graf von Bassewitz family from 1349 to 1945 , and they managed the estate again after 1992. The manor house with its moat dates from 1726; it was rebuilt and expanded in Tudor style in 1855 and converted into a guest house after 1992. In 1910 214 people lived here.

Friedrichshof

In 1910 there were still 68 people living here, until 1950 Friedrichshof was an independent municipality, since 1971 it has been a desert .

Stechow

was mentioned together with Walkendorf in 1273 when Nicolaus , Heinrich and Johann , princes of Werle , sold the villages to the Dargun monastery . Landowners were the von Moltke zu Strietfeld (until 1379) and von Bassewitz (until 1945) families. In 1910 53 people lived here.

Linden tree natural monument

The church linden tree, known as the "bell linden tree", stands near the church in the Walkendorf churchyard, which is still used as a cemetery today. Right next to the linden tree stands the free-standing bell chair as its namesake.

The tree itself is a very old, as a natural monument designated and in the prominent list and old tree specimens registered Sommerlinde . The age of the tree veteran is given as 500–700 years. Its semicircular trunk torso, open on one side, with bulges and adhesions inside, has a widespread, candelabra-like crown made of steeply rising branches. The trunk, also known as the "multi-trunk", has evidently grown from several, originally individual trunks. When measured in 2014, he had a chest height of 9.5 m.
