The Families' and People's History of Mestlin
Lease-holders, peasants and farmhands
The people's history of Mestlin is being formed by various (professional-)
groups:
- the Owners of Mestlin,
- the Monastry leaders, the chefs of Dobbertin,
- the Pensioners / lease holders / administrators of the property of Mestlin,
- the Pastors of Mestlin, the sextons / Schoolteachers, the church judges ("Kirchenjuraten"),
- the Village directors / town directors / mayors,
- the House people / House keepers / peasants, "Kossaten", "Büdner", house owners,
- the Smiths, shephards, tailors, ...,
- the Farmhands, maids, day-laborers,
- the Veterans, victims of past wars,
- the Emigrants.
The individual groups are being presented in the following. Since the
history of Mestlin is closely connected with that of Ruest and some other
villages in that area, their people's history is being included.
The owners of Mestlin
At the times of the settlement Mestlin most likely belonged the
sovereigns (times of reigning in parantheseses). Those are after
Niklot (... - 1160):
Pribislaw (1167 - 1178),
Heinrich Burwin I. (1179 - 1227),
Heinrich Burwin II.,
Niklot IV. Fürst zu Wenden (1228 - 1277),
Heinrich I. und Johann I. (1278 - 1288),
Johann II. (1289 - 1337),
Niklas VIII. (Nikolaus) Herr zu Werle (1337 - 1360).
The latter bequeathed Mestlin (and other villages) to
Dankqward von Gutzstevel on February 27th, 1352.
The property was divided up on seven parties over the years through partition
after the death of the owner (the heritation right of the oldest did not exist
yet).
In the years between 1448 and 1461, some Gutzstevels sold their property
to the monastry of Dobbertin.
Buyers were the prior Nicolaus Beringer and the prioress Ermegard Oldenburg.
In the following years, the monastry had a court in Mestlin and a number of
leased peasantries.
In 1918, the property of the monastry became state property,
the court became state domain.
The monastry leaders, the chefs of Dobbertin
Will be added later.
The pensioners / lease-holders / administrators of the property of Mestlin
The administrators of the court of Mestlin were till exemple:
- before 1656 - after 1682 Hans Jacob Brandt
- around 1828 Sauerkohl
- around 1731 Langhoff
- since 1861 - after 1900 Hans Dehns (* 16.12.1830)
- around 1918 - 1945 Bernhard Berckemeyer
Will be added later.
The pastors of Mestlin, the sextons / schoolteachers, the church judges ("Kirchenjuraten")
The pastors of Mestlin / Ruest
(Präemule, Lowitz, Harney, Georgius, Leonisius, Schnepel, B. Simonis,
J. Simonis, Petri, Brennecke, Neander, Buchholz, Schulz, Heydemann,
Birkenstädt, Hunzinger, Walter, Wehner, Schmidt, Heise, Ortmann,
Krause) are being described on a
seperate page.

In a first table are the peasants of Mestlin until the year 1833 listed.
After that they were resettled to Ruest Ausbau, so Mestlin became a pure
estate village.

The veterans, victims of past wars
A document for the victims of past wars are memorial boards, that have
been kept in the churches of Mestlin and Ruest, memorial plates on the
cemetaries in Mestlin and Ruest as well as far as for WW II descriptions by
people from Ruest (Zacharias, Nehls).
Very interesting would be the documents of the union of warriors of Mestlin,
that I have not been able to find yet.
