Hohenfelde was part of the founding estate of the Doberan Monastery and, first documented in 1179, is one of the oldest villages in Mecklenburg.

Hohenfelde was first mentioned by its German name in 1312.

Inside the church, the dome vault contains 14th-century frescoes that were discovered and restored in 1899. The women painted in the choir vault depict the parable of the wise and foolish virgins.

Lands that Pribislaw donated to the Doberan Monastery upon its founding in 1171. The church was established by the monastery shortly thereafter. Around 1300, Rabenhorst (Rethwisch) temporarily belonged to the parish. On April 7, 1333, Duke Albrecht II granted the monastery jurisdiction over Parkentin. The church belonged to the monastery's archdeaconry until 1552. After the secularization and dissolution of the monastery, the site came under the ducal domain. The first Protestant pastor appointed by the duke, not the abbot, was Brand Meseke in 1557.
