History

The village is of Slavic origin and was formerly written Lapze. The name could be from the Slavic lapa = claw, club moss or lapica = case derived.

At the time of Slavic settlement in Mecklenburg existed here a large castle in the tribal alliance of Lutizen, " with unusually many " residents. This perhaps is the Grapenwerder and or around only a few hundred meters away fishermen Wall, another testimony of that time. It is highly likely that both settlements have existed in its heyday, parallel to each other, which could also establish the location and the size described in the scanty sources.

According to ancient traditions Lapitz 1326 had been a village church. After 1900, almost the entire village was rebuilt, such as the manor in 1908, the church in 1914, before and after the First World War, most of the village houses. The development of the village is closely linked to the history of the Neumann family, who had purchased the estate in 1814. The property has been developed into a Saatvermehrungsbetrieb.

After the First World War, the landowner built by Pukhov and Lapitz a small car to the loading station Penzlin. During this time, the paved road with ravine was created after Penzlin.

In the 1930s, continued to modernize the economy, for example through the use of combine harvesters and the first houses with equipment with sanitary facilities continued. Since 1862 there were in Lapitz running water from the salt lake, which was to be considered in Mecklenburg at the time as extremely progressive.
