Manor House Kramerhof
The village of Kramerhof celebrated its 700th anniversary in 2018. In a document dated 24 July 1318, issued by Berthold von der Osten, he sells to Eberhard Hup, the bailiff of Prince Wizlaw III of Rügen, his entire estate (nowadays Kramerhof) in Kedingshagen "... with all accessories, freedoms and rights, plus four virgata of meadow situated between Kordshagen, Vogelsang and Kedingshagen...".
After the division of Kedingshagen into the districts of Groß- and Klein Kedingshagen in the 15th century, the Stralsund councillor Evers Drulleshagen donated the Kramerhof estate to the Kramer-Compagnie, a guild of small merchants, who leased it out from then on and donated the proceeds from the lease to the endowment of the Kraemer poor foundation until 1945. The last tenant was Robert Willhöft. In 1945 he offered shelter to about 30 refugees from Silesia, East Prussia and the Sudetenland in the manor house. When members of the Red Army arrived at the manor house a short time later, they dragged the tenant Willhöft into the cellar and shot him. The refugees later buried him under the walnut tree behind his house.
With the land reform, 23 young farmers received a plot of land each, with a house, a yard, a garden and fields. The manor house was inhabited during the GDR period.
It has now been privately owned since 1994.
