Gammelin

Gammelin is located between the town of Hagenow to the south and the state capital of Schwerin to the north.

Gammelin is first listed in a document from 1219 as Chemelin; the village church is mentioned in records as early as 1335.

However, the end of the Second World War brought evacuees to the village, displaced people and the rural poor peasants who were allocated land during agrarian reforms.

The sportsclub (Gammelin Wild Ducks) meet here, in addition to the village club which regularly organizes events.

The fire brigade forms a central point in community life and organizes each year a blood donation.
