Börzow is a district of the municipality of Stepenitztal in the district of Northwest Mecklenburg in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (Germany).
geography
Börzow is four kilometers west of Grevesmühlen and about 15 kilometers from the Baltic coast. The Radegast flows into the Stepenitz in Börzow, and the Lübeck – Bad Kleinen railway line runs across the mouth . The area has only small differences in altitude, at 50 m above sea level. The highest altitude is reached at Gostorf.
history
According to the compilation of the Ratzeburg tithe register from 1230, Börzow belonged to Mummendorf at that time, as did Roggenstorf . It was not until 1299 that it appeared as an independent church village, when the patronage was transferred from the princes of Mecklenburg to the Kaland Brotherhood at Rehna Monastery . From 1258 the Holstein monastery in Reinfeld buys in Börzow. With the consent of the sovereign, it first acquires the water mill, then in 1259 the tithe from the diocese of Ratzeburg and then successively the agricultural land from the local nobles, so that in 1371 Duke Albrecht confirms ownership of the entire village to the monastery. Under Abbot Johann Kule , the Reinfeld Monastery remains in the ownership of Börzow well beyond the Reformation and it was not until Kuhle's abdication in 1582 that Börzow became the sovereign domain . The small village church of Börzow was built in the middle of the 15th century .
After the Reformation, the influence of the knightly von Bernstorff family on Gut Bernstorf increased in the area . For this time there is a local chronicle, the Owstien Chronicle , which was put down in the middle of the 19th century by the pastor Johann Friedrich Owstien .
On July 1, 1950, Bonnhagen became part of the Börzow community.
On July 1, 1961, Gostorf was also incorporated into Börzow. The districts of Bonnhagen, Gostorf, Teschow and Volkenshagen thus belonged to the municipality of Börzow.
On May 25, 2014, the municipalities of Börzow, Mallentin and Papenhusen merged to form the municipality of Stepenitztal.
Attractions
The small village church Börzow made of bricks and blown field stones, probably from the middle of the 15th century, consists of a rectangular nave with a flat beamed ceiling and a rib vaulted choir in the east. The massive, square church tower the width of a ship has a pointed, octagonal, shingled helmet . The burial chapel was built in 1738 for the von Bernstorff family . The furnishings, including the altar, can also be traced back to various donations from this family after the church was robbed of its treasures by Swedish troops during the Thirty Years' War. Remains of ornamental wall paintings from the second half of the 15th century have been preserved. The altarpiece from 1718, a two-story structure with rich acanthus carving , is attributed to JF Wilde. The additions to the church treasury were stolen again on November 8th and 9th, 1806 during the French period . The organ (I / P / 9) was installed in 1865 by the Schwerin organ builder Friedrich Friese (III) .
Economy and Infrastructure
Agriculture plays the main role in the area, in addition, good conditions have been created for the construction of new residential areas in recent years.
