Nostalgia in Templin: The forgotten history of the training castle

Nostalgia in Templin: The forgotten history of the training castle

The story of Templin is rich in changes and memories, and that is also the reason why the city and its impressive buildings still move the people's minds and visitors today. The latest example is the historical photo, which was presented as part of the "historical peep box". On it you can see Kantstraße, previously known as Kirsteinstrasse, from the perspective of Werderstrasse. This insightful recording comes from the estate of the well -known Templin authors Siegfried Breyer, who has published several books about the city and its history. Nordkurier reports that shows the map shown in the former Reform Real Progue School, which many Templiner as "training castle" knew.

Ute Schröder, a native of Templiner, remembers her late husband, who passionately collected postcards with motifs from the city. The "training castle" was not only a place of learning, but also a center for housekeeping courses for girls. The place shows how complex the past is. Hermann Degen still has lively memories that the building served as a hospital in 1944 during the war. Margit Dura, who knows the tragic history of the house, also confirms this fact.

The Sankt Georgen Hospital

Near the training castle at the time is the listed Sankt-Georgen-Hospital , which has been through a lot since its construction in the late 14th century. It is the oldest preserved building in the city and has survived countless city fires and the use as a horse stable during the Napoleonic wars. The chapel, i.e. the heart of the former hospital, was only retained from decay in the 19th century by superintendent Johann Gottfried Niedlich. In the meantime, it is used by the Evangelical parish of Templin after it was restored between 1862 and 1866.

The hospital chapel inspires with its impressive architecture and the historical furniture from the time of reopening. The late Gothic carving altar, which is adorned with characters of Saint Georg and other remarkable saints, can be particularly emphasized. The adjacent garden of the former cemetery now takes on the role of a place of relaxation. templin.de emphasizes that the city has been revived again and again in recent decades.

the change and the challenges

The bombing of Templin on March 6, 1944 demanded 215 lives and destroyed around 60 percent of the city center. This dark time left traces and led to a long process of reconstruction. In the following years, numerous renovation measures were carried out, which the city once again helped to part of its historical flair. Templin is not only appreciated because of its history, but also because of its redesign into a popular resort. Above all, the newly discovered salt -containing thermal springs support this development and help the city to bloom.

The citizens of Templin, including Bernd Koennemann, are actively involved and are committed to the renovation and maintenance of their city. Events such as the "Villic" show that interest in the history of Templins is unbroken. Whether Horst Schüssler from Minden or Templiner such as Joachim Krämer and Edeltraud Schilm, who know old stories and appreciate their city in their beauty, they all help to ensure that Templins are not forgotten.
