The turns lived then still in loose tribe associations and had been subjected to the armies of the German knights hopelessly. In the year 1160 the conquest was the mecklenburgischen country to a large extent finished and began Heinrich the lion to divide up the estates among his vehicles, friends and patrons. Gets around his salvation, that led that one through the many wars Heinrich in the course of his life damage had taken, Heinrich handed over the lion the island Poel with all his estates the diocese to Luebeck. The monks from Luebeck accepted this present gladly and began to settle on Poel Anno 1165.
