Menzlin is located on the B111 and is a district of the community Ziethen near Anklam. In the village there is a estate, the actual manor house does not exist anymore. It was possibly destroyed in a fire in 1963, then demolished. Menzlin is mainly known for the about 1.5 km south of the village within the surface nature monument "Old Camp" located Viking and Slavic trading place. To the south of the old camp is the polder Menzlin rewetted since 2000. In addition, there is a Wasserwanderrastplatz and canoe rental on the Peene at Menzlin.

Archaeologically proved from Menzlin a stone paved road to the Peene, a bridge over the Peene and a continuation of the stone paved road from this bridge in the direction Görke. A port is suspected, but has not yet been proven. The Via Regia from Stettin via Menzlin to Wismar and on to Lübeck and Hamburg was the "most important east-west road in the north" of the medieval West Slavic settlement area. At Menzlin she crossed the Peene valley by means of the described stone road and the bridge over the river.
Menzlin was first mentioned in documents in 1231, when Duke Wartislaw III. the monastery Stolpe the village named Mancelin = Menzlin over. For 200 years, the Cistercians at Stolpe were owned by Menzlin. From 1448 it passed into the possession of the family of Owstin on Quilow. By marriage and sale, it came in 1832 to Sigmund Magnus von Wedell. Since 1858 (according to other sources also only since the beginning of the 20th century), the estate belonged to the monastery chamber of Hanover, and it remained there until it was settled in 1945. The last steward / tenant was Baron von Malchus.
