Notes for MARIA SOPHIA CHRISTINA PRINGKE:

Landbuch des Herzogtums Stettin, von Kamin und Hinterpommern oder des Verwaltungsbezirks der Königlichen Regierung zu Stettin. Bearbeitet von Heinrich Berghaus, 1. Band: die Kreise Demmin, Anklam, Usedom-Wollin und Ukermünde, Anklam/Berlin, 1865.

Library: University Library of Greifswald

Dukow (today`s spelling Duckow), village and "Rittergut" (p. 51)

Located almost 30 kilometers south(west) of Demmin, on the banks of the river Peene (today called Ostpeene here nesr the springs of the river). Dukow (and the whole Zettemin parish) lies at the border of Pommern and Mecklenburg, outside of main area of the Kreis Demmin. It is enclosed by Mecklenburg territory as a Pommern exclave.

Among the inhabitants of Dukow there is a sexton, a schoolteacher, a smith and an innkeeper. 30 day labourer families live at Dukow. There are 18 Feuerstellen (households) with 223 inhabitants. The Dukow church is a filial of the Zettemin church.

In former times Dukow was a parish but it burned down totaly around 1630. The church was destroyed entirely and even 1648 there lived no one in this place, so that it was decided to connect Dukow with Zettemin. There were other filial churches of Zettemin in Gielow (Mecklenburg terretory, this church has been connected with Malchin in Mecklenburg since 1838), in Pinnow, Rottmannshagen and Rützenfelde.

The villages of the parish of Zettemin were onder a combined (and often heavily disputed) administration of Mecklenburg and Prussia (Pommern) between 1648 and 1740. From 1740 on they belonged to Pommern. Until 1743 the Pastor of Zettemin was a Mecklenburg clergyman. From 1743 he is a Pastor of the Pomeranian church (Pommersche Kirche, Synode Demmin).

Dukow is an old estate of the von Maltzahn family, nowadays (1865) in the property of Freiherr Otto von Maltzahn.

Zettemin in a manor as well. It had belonged to the Maltzahn family since the middle ages and was sold in 1852 together with the new mill and the house "im Bredeluk". There are 14 Feuerstellen (households) with 256 inhabitants in Zettemin. In later times the estate Penewerder was layed out. It had 4 Feuerstellen (households) with 59 inhabitants in 1865.

Pinnow had 12 Feuerstellen with 202 inhabitants, Rottmannshagen had 12 Feuerstellen with 224 inhabitants and Rützenfelde had 8 Feuerstellen with 130 inhabitants.

Today, both Zettemin and Dukow belong to Mecklenburgian parishes (Gielow and Rittermannshagen respectively) after the exclave connected with Mecklenburg in the 20th century. The old Zettemin parish registers were brought to the central Schwerin church archive, where they are accessable for research.

The Berghaus book for Sassen, Gülzow, Düvier and Zarnekla (Kreis Grimmen) was never issued so that I am not able to provide such information for these villages yet.
