history
The Bristow estate was first mentioned in a document in 1297. Since 1352 the manor was owned by the von Hahn family . The village church was built in the 1590s and completed in 1601. After the Thirty Years' War it was initially a branch church of Hohen Demzin and in 1790 became a branch church of the village church of Bülow . In the Thirty Years War several buildings in Bristow were destroyed, after the end of the war only one farming family lived in the village. In 1845 Bristow came into the possession of the Lords of Bassewitz - Levetzow . They had a mansion built in the Tudor style in 1866. In addition, several farm buildings were built and in 1891 a pigeon house . The Bristow manor burned down in 1919.
On April 1, 1921, the communities Glasow, Grube and Tessenow were incorporated into Bristow, but were spun off again shortly afterwards. Until 1925, Bristow belonged to the Stavenhagen Office , which was finally transformed into the Malchin Office . In 1933, Bristow came with the merger of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Mecklenburg-Strelitz to the newly established district of Malchin . The lords of Bassewitz-Levetzow were expropriated in the course of the land reform in the Soviet occupation zone in 1945 and the land was distributed among new farmers. After the expropriation, resettlers from the eastern German territories lived in the former manor buildings. On July 1, 1950, Glasow, Grube and Tessenow were again incorporated into Bristow.
During the GDR era, an agricultural production cooperative was established in Bristow , which was converted into an agricultural cooperative in 1990. In the GDR, the municipality of Bristow belonged to the Teterow district from July 25, 1952 and, after reunification, to the Teterow district . This merged on June 12, 1994 with the districts of Bützow and Güstrow to form the new district of Güstrow . On June 13, 2004, the community of Bristow merged with the neighboring community of Bülow (near Malchin) to form the new community of Schorssow. Bristow has been part of the Rostock district since September 4th, 2011 .
