history

Blankensee was a village and was first mentioned in connection with the Wanzka monastery in 1290 , when the monastery church there was consecrated. The Brughowe desert must also have been nearby. The village of Blankensee about two kilometers east of Wanzka was laid out as an anger village.

The Blankensee-Bahnhof settlement was built around the station in 1877 with the construction of the Berlin - Neubrandenburg railway line .

In 2011, the population of Blankensee was 21% Protestant and 2% Catholic.

Gut Rödlin was owned by the von Jasmund family in the 18th century . From 1803 to 1943 Rödlin was the grand ducal state domain of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. One wing of the Rödlin manor from the second half of the 18th century was demolished in 1921, the other burned down in 1961, so that only the central part remains.

From 1648 to 1833, the Rollehagen estate was owned by the Zinow family. The manor house was built around 1875 by the Harras family. In 1944 the estate was owned by Nazi Reichsleiter Martin Bormann . From 1945 the manor house was the seat of a unit of the Red Army , then a school and then a retirement home. Today it is a residential building.
