geography

Geographical location

Ziethen is four kilometers north of Anklam and about 20 kilometers east of Gützkow . In the south the community borders on the lowland of the Peene . The plateau north of Ziethen is approximately 20 meters above sea level. To the south of Ziethen, the land slopes down to the Peene lowlands, a glacial valley from the last Ice Age, sometimes gently, sometimes steeply. The Peene Valley is a river moor landscape with layers of peat up to 9 meters deep. These were still exploited until the 1950s, as there was no other fuel apart from the wood from the forests. It was not until the 1990s that the regeneration of the moor landscape began by removing old polders. This meant the shutdown of the pumping systems, the opening of the dikes and the closing of the drainage ditches, as well as the subsequent flooding of the depolded areas. The large expanses of water of the Menzliner Polder and opposite the Anklamer Stadtbruch were created. These shallow water zones became a refuge for water birds.

history

Ziethen Manor

Ziethen

To the south-east of the village there was a large stone grave from the Neolithic (5500 to 1800 BCE), unfortunately it was cleared by rock choppers in the 19th century, but it is still one of the ground monuments. Ziethen was a Slavic and early German province (terra). The Slavic origin has also been confirmed by many archaeological finds and excavations, the latter during the construction of the major road junction "Redoute". There were 5 Slavic settlements around Ziethen, of which an early Slavic (600 to 800) west and an early to late Slavic (600 to 1200) west and three late Slavic (1000 to 1200) settlements. The mentioned excavation at the entrance to the Redoute brought positive results due to the extensive investigation with many finds in a wide range (e.g. box wells, tools, jewelry, ceramics, etc.).

Ziethen was first mentioned as Sitne in 1136 when Emperor Lothar III. assigned tributes from this area to the diocese of Bamberg in recognition of the efforts of Bishop Otto von Bamberg to spread Christianity in Pomerania . The name is Slavic in origin and means grain land . In the papal bull of 1140, Ziethen was named as a Castrum Sithem . Subsequently, documentary mentions were very often recorded.

In early German times the importance of the province was lost, the church and then the emerging estate economy remained essential. The knight families Buggenhagen, von Lepel and Owstin are named. The longest were those of Owstin, who owned the estate from 1485 to 1779. This was followed by the Kruses and five other, but short-term owners, until Hellmuth Friedrich Otto Dettlof Graf von Schwerin acquired the estate in 1858 and it remained in the family's possession until 1945.

Ziethen can be classified in the form of a village as a manor village, the manor dominates the village and on the arterial road in the direction of Gützkow there was a double row of farm workers. Around the church and the churchyard there were only the parish and mill farms.

In 1865 Ziethen had 206 inhabitants, 1 church, 1 school, 2 further public buildings, 19 residential houses, 3 factory buildings (mill etc.), and 20 farm buildings.

The manor house was built in 1818 in the classical style of the strict Prussian single-storey country house. It's more like a farmhouse. The unadorned facade is structured by drawn down windows and dormer windows. The only decoration is a diamond coat of arms of the von Schwerin family above the entrance. In 1905 the music hall was added. In 1922 the building was rebuilt.

The estate included two windmills and a still existing water mill, which was fed by the opposite park pond.

The last owner from 1908 of the 746 hectare Ziethen estate was Bernhard Graf von Schwerin in 1945, he was district administrator of the Usedom-Wollin district.

In 1945 expropriation and resettlement followed through the land reform, as well as the transition to the LPG economy around 1960 and the privatization of agriculture after 1990. After 1945 the manor house was used by the municipal administration, kindergarten and consumption. There are now various offices in the building, including the community office. Only a few of the manor buildings have survived and are used privately, the park has been renovated through various measures and is in good condition.

The village developed into a street village, because the settlement houses and homes were built on the B 109 and L 263. After 1990, a car dealership, a hardware store and the newly built official building of the former Ziethen office were established.

On December 31, 2014, Ziethen had 205 residents with a main residence and 13 with a secondary residence.

On December 31, 2015, Ziethen had 201 residents with a main residence and 13 with a secondary residence.

Jargelin

Jargelin manor

Jargelin was first mentioned in 1305 as Ghergelin . It was not until 1782 that the spelling with ..J .. caught on. A name interpretation of the Slavic foundation is currently not available.

Jargelin was a manor village with the estate and the farm worker data line. There are only a few relics left of the estate; after 1945 the village developed into a residential area in the form of a dead end settlement.

There is little information about Jargelin, as it was owned by Salchow for a long time, see there ( Klein Bünzow municipality ). Jargelin (called Gargelin) between Ziethen and Salchow was entered on the Swedish matriculation cards from 1739. In 1822 it was mentioned as a manor.

The Jargelin estate came to Heinrich von Below in 1851 , whose brother Eduard Friedrich Wilhelm received the nearby Salchow estate at the same time.

Jargelin had 81 inhabitants in 1865, including 1 tenant with 8 relatives, 1 administrator, 5 servants and 5 maids, 17 male and 17 female day laborers, as well as 4 servants of the lordship. The following buildings were available: 1 public building, 6 residential buildings and 11 commercial buildings.

Until 1933 the owner was Colonel of the Prussian Army and Chilean Lieutenant Colonel Günther von Below (1868-1933), married to distant cousin Mathilde von Below (1875-1937). He was the landlord of Salchow and Jargelin. Her son was Georg Ludwig Heinrich Nicolaus Freiherr von Below (* 1907 on Gut Jargelin, † 1983 in Detmold). He was a colonel in the Air Force and from 1937 to 1945 Adolf Hitler's personal air force adjutant. He was the nominal owner after his father and had the estate managed by administrators.

In the land reform, the property was expropriated and given to refugees and displaced persons. The estate was divided. 10 new farmer positions were created, which later became members of the LPG. After 1945 the manor house served as refugee accommodation. A culture room for the villagers was set up in the house. Apartments were later built for 7 families. The manor house is well preserved and has been restored. The one-storey classical building has a porch with a bay window in the middle. The entire entrance area has been changed. In particular, the windows and the sandstone facing have been changed or removed. The house is plastered.

On December 31, 2014, Jargelin had 74 residents with a main residence and 3 with a secondary residence.

On December 31, 2015, Jargelin had 76 residents with a main residence and 4 with a secondary residence.

Menzlin

→ Main article : Menzlin

Menzlin was first named as "Manzelina" in 1231.

On July 1, 1950, Menzlin was incorporated.

As of December 31, 2014, Menzlin had 206 residents with a main residence and 8 with a secondary residence.

As of December 31, 2015, Menzlin had 195 residents with a main residence and 8 with a secondary residence.

Plachta (desert)

Plachta was mentioned as such in a document from 1226 until 1305. It is not exactly localized - it was on a plateau near Menzlin, towards the Peene. The name is interpreted as "divided field piece". The farm belonged to the Stolpe monastery, next to it was the place “Plachta Villa” according to the PUB. But it should not be the well-known Slavonic-Viking settlement "Altes Lager" or "Peeneberg".

Nemantewitz (desert)

Nemantewitz was first mentioned as such in 1178. The notarizations only go up to 1179. The location cannot be determined exactly, but is stated by the PUB as being in the state of Ziethen. The name is not interpreted, but is assumed to be a Slavic personal name.
