history

middle Ages

In 1305 the settlement "Tzys", later also called "Zitz", was located south of today's town of Zinnowitz. In 1309 the place was mentioned in a certificate of confirmation from Duke Bogislaw IV for the possessions of the Krummin monastery on the island of Usedom, whereby Zinnowitz was again called "Tzys". The Slavic name is interpreted as "hay".

In a chintz who was queen of heaven Mary consecrated chapel named in documents in 1495 and the 1496th Associated with the chapel were the customs of the local farmers who led lights to the chapel on Epiphany . These customs and probably the chapel at the same time were abolished by Duke Philip I after the introduction of the Reformation , before 1560 .

1500 to 1900

When the Krummin monastery was dissolved in 1563, the domain returned to the possession of the duke. In the Thirty Years War the village was destroyed in 1638; After the end of the war, the island of Usedom belonged to Swedish Pomerania . The old Wendish name Tzys was changed to Zitz . After the Treaty of Stockholm , the Zitz domain came into Prussian hands in 1720 and was renamed Zinnowitz in 1751 as part of the redesign of the royal domain . In 1756 the associated domain house was built, the oldest building in Zinnowitz. The existing building, which is located near the junction from the B 111 to Gut Neuendorf on the Gnitz peninsula , has recently been converted into an apartment building.

In 1810 the Prussian domain Zinnowitz was parceled out as part of the Stein-Hardenberg reforms , from which the village of Zinnowitz emerged. Since the Prussian state had run into financial difficulties as a result of the Napoleonic Wars , it sold the 1,800 acres of Zinnowitz remaining property on September 16, 1811 for 14,300 thalers to the secret councilor Friedrich Wilhelm Krause , a merchant and shipowner in Swinoujscie . After he had tried in vain to find a tenant for the sandy domain, he sold the estate on June 11, 1818 in 29 parcels for a total of 18,000 thalers to colonists and fishermen.

After the administrative reform in 1815, Zinnowitz came to the Prussian province of Pomerania and belonged to the district of Usedom-Wollin from 1818 to 1945 .

In 1835 the place was only available as a small cluster of settlements on the Bannemin – Koserow road, 1.6 km from the coast, where the domain house is at the junction to the Gnitz. Only the Zinnowitzer Packerei (herring packing) could be found on the Baltic Sea.

The next big step for Zinnowitz followed on June 16, 1851, when official bathing was allowed (“bathing consensus”). In 1880 two ladies' and one man's baths were built on the beach, plus a beach hall, the pier, a rescue station and a promenade with houses. The road from there to the old settlement was now densely built on both sides and there was also a cross connection to the “Glienberg” and the large “Hotel Belvedere”.

Since 1900

Resort architecture (Neue Strandstrasse)

In 1908 a wooden pier was built and extended again in 1909. After the First World War, the weather hit it hard, it was little cared for and finally fell into disrepair. In 1993 a new bridge was completed as a concrete-steel-wood construction. The historic bridge house (see illustration below) was not restored.

From 1911 onwards, the development increased and tourism increased by leaps and bounds after the completion of the Ducherow – Swinemünde – Heringsdorf and Heringsdorf – Wolgaster ferry and the Züssow – Wolgast Hafen connection.

In the 1920s, along with Borkum , Zinnowitz was one of those bathing resorts that tried hardest to keep Jews away (see baths anti-Semitism ). So was z. For example, the Zinnowitz song was written in which one line reads: “And whoever approaches from the Manasseh tribe / is not desired, / he is forbidden. / We don't like any foreign race! / Itz stays away / Von Zinnowitz. "

After the Peenestrombrücke in front of Wolgast was completed in 1937, tourism could actually have been improved. But in 1938 the normal tourism business of the place was interrupted for a long time: The restricted area of ​​the newly founded Army Research Center Peenemünde (HVA) also included Zinnowitz. In the forest between Zinnowitz and Zempin today (as of 2017) there are still some remains of starting points for testing the V1 , which were in operation between 1943 and 1945. The restricted area was extended to Koserow on the Streckelsberg. At the same time, the branch to Peenemünde was built from Zinnowitz station, which was served by the HVA S-Bahn.

Pier with diving gondola (2014)

In the GDR , Zinnowitz was the most important seaside resort for the vacation service of the SDAG Wismut , which incorporated numerous hotels, holiday homes and villas expropriated in the 1953 “ Aktion Rose ”. In the mid-1970s, the “Roter Oktober” holiday home with a swimming pool was built for the workers of Wismut AG on the northern outskirts of the village (today “Hotel Baltic” is the largest hotel on Usedom). Moreover, there were in a FDJ - holiday home of the circle Gardelegen.

In the 1950s, the large cultural center of Wismut and a large sports complex were also built, where many top athletes had their training camp. Despite the monument status, the cultural center is falling into disrepair. Condominiums are to be built here. The former sanatorium on the Glienberg is subject to a similar decline . Top athletes are still guests in the sports complex today. B. A few years ago Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko with their trainer Fritz Sdunek .

In 1993 the redesigned beach promenade was given its purpose. In 1997 the first Vineta Festival took place on the Ostseebühne (open-air stage) in Zinnowitz, since then annually. In 2006, the diving gondola system was put into operation at the end of the pier on the left.

From 1945 to 1952, the village belonged to the after the Second World War, remaining in Germany part of the district of Pomerania for county Usedom in Mecklenburg , which in 1952 in the district of Wolgast in the GDR - District Rostock opened. Zinnowitz has belonged to the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania since 1990. In 1994 the community was incorporated into the Ostvorpommern district. Since the district reform in 2011 , it has been in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district .

coat of arms

Zinnowitz coat of arms
 Blazon : “Split; in front in blue a golden seahorse turned left; behind in silver a green yew branch with red fruits. "

The coat of arms was designed by Zinnowitzerin Cornelia Eisold. It was approved on May 12, 1995 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under the number 82 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Justification of the coat of arms: The figure of the seahorse was adopted in the coat of arms from the municipal coat of arms created in 1951, which did not meet the heraldic requirements. It is supposed to symbolize the place as a seaside resort. With the yew branch as a talking sign, a visual reference to the Slavic place name (Tzys = yew) is to be established. The colors of the shield indicate that the municipality belongs to the Western Pomerania region.
