West Bruges
Westenbrügge is an at least 800 years old manor village between Kröpelin and Neubukow in Mecklenburg . It was incorporated into Biendorf on June 13, 2004 and belongs to the Rostock district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .
history
The village was founded during the eastern settlement after the decline of the nearby Parchow monastery during the Slav uprising . West Bruges was first mentioned in a document in 1318. The village got its name from a bridge over the Hellbach, over which the most important land trade route from Rostock to Wismar ran at the time of the Hanseatic League and until the construction of the B 105 in 1836 .
The classicist manor house from 1840 (based on the layout of a previous building from 1699 and an earlier moated castle) was owned by the von Müller family from 1840 to 1945.
On July 1, 1950, the previously independent parish Parchow was incorporated.
