"Retractable" mill in Kröpelin

● Kröpelin

The Kröpeliner Mühle is a gallery Dutch windmill. It has been a cultural center since its renovation in 2012 and is used by the "Kröpeliner Mühle" e.V. association for events. It can also be visited. Anyone driving through Kröpelin from Kühlungsborn will not believe their eyes... The mill, visible from afar from the eastern edge of the town, suddenly disappears, but later reappears. The miracle of Kröpelin is easy to explain: One succumbs to an optical illusion, because depending on the viewer's position, the mill, which has long since become the town's landmark, appears or disappears. The gallery Dutch windmill with a two-storey solid brick substructure was built in 1904 and went into operation in 1906. It operated as a grain mill until around 1952. In this Dutch mill - also known as a cap mill - the blades are attached to the cap. The mill body is fixed and only the cap is turned into the wind. Original parts of the wind turbine, such as the comb wheel and the king shaft, are still in the cap, but the equipment has been removed over the years. In 1986, work began on converting the building into a restaurant. However, it was not completed. It was not until 24 years later that a decision was made to carry out a complex modernization and to partially demolish the farm wing. The mill is owned by the town and was reopened at the end of 2013 after extensive renovations. It is operated by the "Kröpeliner Mühle" e.V. association and is open to the public.

Kröpelin "retractable" mill

● Kröpelin

The landmark of the town of Kröpelin - the "retractable" mill Anyone driving through Kröpelin from Kühlungsborn or Rerik will not believe their eyes. The mill, visible from the eastern edge of the town, suddenly disappears and reappears a short time later. Construction work on the Galerie-Holländer-Mühle began in 1904 and it was put into operation in 1906. It has a 2-storey solid brick substructure. The first floor is square and made of stone, while the central mill body with eight sides is also built of solid stone and covered with shingles. The wings of this Dutch mill - also known as a cap mill - are attached to the cap so that it can be turned into the wind. The wind turbine of the mill and parts of the equipment are still preserved. The mill was even still in operation until 1952. After it was decommissioned, it was then used as a warehouse for agricultural businesses and for the school as a "polytechnic" center. In 1986, work began on converting the mill into a restaurant. However, this conversion work came to a standstill due to the changes brought about by the fall of communism. In 2006, the "Kröpeliner Mühle" e.V. association was founded with the aim of renovating the mill in order to preserve it as a Kröpelin landmark and to organize and hold cultural events around the mill. The mill is owned by the town. Extensive renovation work began in 2012. The renovation work was completed in 2013 and the mill was reopened on December 20.

Ackerbürgerhaus Plau am See

The farmhouse was rebuilt from salvaged materials on top of the existing cellar building after the last major town fire in 1756. Not one beam of the timber frame is the same as another and shows traces of repeated use. In addition to trade and commerce, the townspeople needed land and livestock to live, so they were farmers. The driveway, the courtyard with its cobblestones, well, manure cow, dry abortuaries and the stables with horse manger, pigsty and chicken droppings as well as the granaries have been preserved in their original condition. The façade of the main house was altered in 1929 when shop windows were installed in the basement. The apartments in the main and adjoining buildings were modernized in 1999.

Aristocratic Fräuleinstift

● Barth

The baroque building complex of the Adligen Fräuleinstift was built between 1733 and 1741 and was founded by the Swedish Queen Ulrike Eleonore. The Adlige Fräuleinstift was founded in 1733 under the self-designation "Bahrtisches Closter"; another contemporary designation is "Adliges Jungfrauenkloster". However, it was not a convent, but a foundation for the care of unmarried daughters, mainly from aristocratic families in the region. Similar institutions existed in Bergen auf Rügen, Stralsund (former St. Annen and Brigitten Convent), Ribnitz (former Poor Clares Convent, now the Amber Museum) and numerous other places. They emerged from monasteries that were dissolved during the Reformation. In many cases, the nuns living here came from families who destined their unmarried daughters for the clergy, as it was not possible for them to remain in the family for economic reasons. With the introduction of the Reformation and the dissolution of the monasteries, this option was no longer available. One solution was to convert the monasteries into secular abbeys. While entry into the monasteries was associated with the taking of vows as a lifelong decision, the nuns did not take any vows. They could leave the convent without special permission in the event of marriage or for other personal reasons. Although life in the convent was subject to strict rules, it was possible to leave the grounds during the day, there were vacations and the possibility of being absent for a maximum of three months each year upon request. A prioress monitored compliance with the monastery rules; the first head of the monastery was Philipina Luise von Wackenitz with the rank of abbess. There was no predecessor institution in Barth, as no monasteries were founded in the town according to the regulations of 1255 (town foundation and early town history of Barth). The path to the foundation of the noble Barth monastery was cleared in 1726 after the Swedish King Frederick, with the direct involvement of Queen Ulrika Eleonora, donated the land and the existing remains of Barth Castle to the knighthood and granted permission to fell timber in the royal forest on the Darß. The monastery was thus located on the site that had been the location of the town quarters of the Princes of Rügen and later the Dukes of Pomerania (Jaromar II, Barnim XIII) since around 1255. The first conventuals moved into the buildings on August 3, 1733. Each convent lady, unmarried and therefore unprovided for women, was provided with an apartment with four rooms, adjoining rooms and a garden plot. There were fixed salaries to ensure their upkeep. As a rule, the right to later entry into the convent was purchased at birth, but by no means all those entitled to it ever made use of it. After the Second World War, the nuns found themselves in a difficult situation. Refugees had to be accommodated in the buildings and with the land reform they lost the estates from which the convent had acquired part of its income. The nuns had to temporarily leave their home, but were soon able to return. In May 1948, the convent was dissolved and passed to the church. In 1974, the buildings were handed over to the town, in 1978 the last nun, Anna-Louise von Stumpfeld, left the premises, the last prioress, Katharina von Hagenow (1882-1952) was buried in the Barth cemetery; the Barth grammar school (Uhlenflucht 5) is named after her. The building complex of the monastery is a three-winged complex made of plastered bricks. The elongated main building consists of a raised central section with a broad central risalit with a triangular gable and bell tower. Ten-axis building sections with high mansard roofs adjoin on both sides. There are also two nine-axis wings enclosing the courtyard on three sides. The entire building complex is surrounded by an unrendered brick wall with a round-arched gateway with a crowned Swedish royal coat of arms and the reconstructed gatekeeper's house next to it. From 1985 to 1994, some parts of the building housed a kindergarten. Since 2001, age-appropriate apartments and rooms for exhibitions and cultural events have been set up in the complex, which has been renovated in accordance with the preservation order. The two-winged baroque complex is the only Swedish foundation on German soil.
