context_page_description: Bartenshagen-Parkentin is a municipality in the Rostock district, in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.
context_section_description: Parkentin was first recorded in 1177 and until 1552 belonged to the monastery at Bad Doberan. The church was built in multiple stages, beginning in the 13th Century. The oldest part is the Choir. Frescos from the 15th Century were discovered in 1899 and have been restored. A late addition is the tower with four gables. The pulpit is from 1615.
  Around 1300 Rabenhorst (Rethwisch) also belonged for a time to the parish. In 1333 Duke Albrecht the 2nd gave the control over Parkentin to the cloister. After the secularisation and the disbandment of the monastery control over the parish returned to the dukedom. The first evangelical pastor appointed by the duke and not the monastery was Brand Meseke in 1557.
  The hamlet of Huetten was first recorded in 1268. In Huetter Wohld, an extensive beech wood, the monks from Bad Doberan found ideal conditions for fish ponds and created a string of many reservoirs, which are still in use today. Due to the local availability of quartz sand and the forest for fuel, a glassworks (Glashuette in German, leading to the name Huetten) was operated by the monks from 1268.
  The hamlet of Neuhof was first recorded in 1383 and added to the parish of Parkentin in 1927.
