Bollewick is a municipality in the Mecklenburgische Seenplatte district, in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. It is administered by the Röbel-Müritz office in the city of Röbel / Müritz. The municipality Bollewick includes the villages Nätebow, Spitzkuhn and since 7 June 2009, Kambs[1] and Wildkuhl.[2]
The name Bollewick with its components (round, bellied) and wick (German suffix wig, wik = place or village, borrowed from Latin vicus = village) means Runddorf.
From the early settlement of the area remained two megalithic tombs near the village. Bollewick was built as part of Nedebuh (now Nätebow) in the 13th century by the knight of Werle Konrad Büne. The first mention dates from January 21, 1261.[3] The village was then about 1200 meters further west on the almost circular Wackstower lake.
The original site was abandoned probably due to the high groundwater level at the lake shore. Already at the beginning of the Thirty Years' War, the village stood desolate. Bollewick was built as a long-stretched linear settlement from the 18th century on the present site. After frequent change of ownership and gradual reconstruction, the community was increasingly resettled in the early 1930s.
Bollewick is located on Bundesstrasse 198 – road from Röbel / Müritz.The motorway junction Röbel of Bundesautobahn 19 (Berlin–Rostock) is about eight kilometers away from Bollewick. The nearest railway stations are in Malchow and Waren (Müritz).
