history

The history of Wredenhagen is closely linked to Wredenhagen Castle . The earliest written reference to the castle is from 1284, although the complex is much older. Initially, the von Werle family ruled the castle and many dependent villages in the area. Later, the rule often changed between Mecklenburg and Brandenburg dukes or margraves and in the meantime came into the possession of the noble family von Winterfeld . Under Mecklenburg sovereignty since 1436, in 1840 the administration and jurisdiction for over 50 villages was transferred from Wredenhagen to Röbel. The community acquired the castle in 1927 and established the school there. At the end of the 1920s, the Wredenhagen estate was relocated with farmers. The community has been able to preserve the character of a farming village through careful village renewal with a focus on monument preservation.

In 1233 Nikolaus von Rostock awarded the Amelungsborn monastery 50 hooves in the village of Kotze (now Mönchhof) with the lake Kotze (today's Mönchsee ).

During the GDR era , numerous individual farms joined together to form an LPG animal production facility. The small schoolhouse was replaced by the construction of a ten-class polytechnic high school , in which the children from the surrounding villages were taught. As the seat of the community association , a doctor, a dentist and a veterinary practice were located on site. The residents not only worked in the LPG, but also in various craft businesses. In addition to a shopping center, a hairdresser and a watchmaker, the residents had access to a culture and sports center with restaurants, a youth club and a central library.

On May 26, 2019, Wredenhagen merged with Grabow-Below , Massow and Zepkow to form the new municipality of Eldetal . The last mayor was Marianne Schmidtke.
