Tessin B. Boizenburg’s history spans several periods: its early mention in the Ratzeburg tithe register, its historic village layout and the routes that cross its fields. There are also specific nature-related features: the restoration project at Tessin Moor was completed in 2007, and a converted building is used for bird protection. During your stay, you can combine local history with nature; include up-to-date information on walking trails and the dial-a-bus service in your plans.
Location and settlement history
The municipality of Tessin b. Boizenburg is in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and is administered by the Boizenburg-Land municipal authority. It includes the districts of Eulenberg and Kuhlenfeld; the municipality also has architectural monuments. In historical references, Tessin refers to the village, while Tessin b. Boizenburg refers to the municipality. Tessin was first documented in 1230 in the Ratzeburg tithe register. Alt-Kuhlenfeld was settled in 1700. These two dates mark different reference points: the early documentation of Tessin and the settlement of Alt-Kuhlenfeld.
Tessin’s historic village layout is described as a curved row settlement resembling a Sackplatzdorf (a village with a square-like open space); there are no farmsteads on the northwestern side. The description thus combines the curved form with a specific feature of the settlement structure. The history of the routes has several aspects, too: the Hamburg–Berlin highway was built in 1827 and divided Tessin’s fields. The Hamburg–Berlin railway followed in 1847; it ran through the southern part of the fields. Historically, a church path also led from Tessin through the Wiebendorf Forest to Zahrensdorf. Thus, routes through the fields and a historic connection to Zahrensdorf are distinct from one another and need not be combined into a present-day route.
Moor and bird protection
The restoration project at Tessin Moor was completed in 2007. Another specific nature-related feature is the bird protection tower: a converted WEMAG transformer building in the municipality is used for this purpose and is equipped with nesting aids for owls and bats. The tower is included as a stop on nature observation trails. The moor project and the tower represent different approaches: a completed restoration project on the one hand, and a repurposed building with nesting aids on the other. As route details may change, check the current route before setting out.
Local amenities and accommodation
There are horse farms in both Tessin and Kuhlenfeld. If you would like to visit a farm or use a public service, please check with the relevant operator in advance. Tessin has a renovated guesthouse geared towards visitors, with a guesthouse, hall, and hot and cold food. It combines accommodation and meals in one place. As services may change, check availability before your trip.
