Burow is a street village in the municipality of Großwoltersdorf in the Oberhavel district , Brandenburg . The name is derived from the Slavic bobr (beaver).

There was already a resting place for specialized reindeer hunters from the Ahrensburg culture in the Paleolithic around 10,000 years ago and a settlement in the Middle Stone Age around 8,000 to 3,000 years ago. After that, the area remained uninhabited for a long time. In the Middle Ages, there was a place south of today's village for about 250 years.

Burow was first mentioned in 1530 as a desert field mark, which at that time belonged to the Lindow monastery . In 1753 it was left to the Menzer forester Kummer in hereditary interest and the place was re-established as a colonist settlement . According to the hereditary interest certificate, 20 "foreign" families , ie families not from Prussia , and a small farm should be settled. In 1754 13 colonists had already been recruited and 16 houses and the Vorwerk had been built. In 1799, there were 21 fireplaces, and Burow was parish in Zernikow. According to tradition, in addition to farming and forestry, the residents also engaged in shoemaking and - because of the proximity of the border to Mecklenburg-Strelitz - smuggling .

In 1755 Michael Gabriel Fredersdorf , the treasurer of Frederick II , acquired the place. He had an avenue made of mulberry trees between Zernikow and Burow , which was used to feed silkworms . After Fredersdorf's death in 1758, Burow and his other property passed to his widow, who in 1760 married the secret councilor of Quedlinburg Hans Freiherrn von Labes. In his family the goods were passed on until they came to Karl Otto Ludwig von Arnim in 1855 and to his nieces and nephews, the children of Karl Friedrich Joachim Ludwig von Arnim, in 1861 . In 1840 Burow reached its maximum population with 246 inhabitants, which however fell to 24 by 1875 and increased again to 178 by 1946.

The place consists of twenty semi-detached houses (partly rebuilt) and the manor house, all along a single tree-lined street, the extension of which leads to Neuglobsow and Buchholz . On the eastern edge of the place runs the road between Zernikow and Altglobsow, along which the border to Mecklenburg-Strelitz ran.

Because of poor soil quality, many arable land was given up and reforested. In 1944 only 20% of the district was arable land. In 1928 Burow was connected to the power grid, but not to the public water supply until 1974.

On January 1, 1957 Burow was incorporated into Altglobsow and came with this on April 30, 1974 to Zernikow and on September 27, 1998 to Großwoltersdorf .

On a hill a few 100 m west of the village are the graves of the Zernikow side line of the von Arnim family. At the eastern exit of the village is the tombstone of a Soviet soldier who died shortly after the Second World War.
