history

The historical background described here was compiled by Johannes Pabst, unless otherwise documented.

Burow belonged to the municipality of Gischow until it was incorporated into the city of Lübz on May 26, 2019 .

prehistory

The first evidence of human settlement in Burow comes from the period between 4000 and 1800 BC. Birth of christ. An ax made of field rock and five trough mills from this period were found in the Burower Feldmark. These are slightly hollowed out granite stones, in which the grain is squeezed with the help of a rubbing stone.

A barrow from around 2500-2000 BC is also said to have existed, but was destroyed in the 19th century.

From the Bronze Age (1800–600 BC) a bronze grapen (cooking pot with three feet) was found in December 1936 when the Elde was being dredged . In the south of the Burower Feldmark, urns with corpse burn and two pieces of a twisted bronze ring were also discovered from this period.

Shards of vessels and a spindle whorl were discovered from the pre-Roman Iron Age and the Roman Empire .

After that the finds end, because at the time of the migration between 350 and 500 AD all Germanic tribes migrated from the area around Burow.

Slav period

For about 100 years the country was largely deserted. Then the Slavs immigrated from the south and southeast in several waves . The place name Burow is of Slavic origin and has hardly changed. In 1288 the place was first mentioned as Burowe . This contains the Slavic personal name Bur, which means something like storm, storm , so that the place name probably means place of Bur , the stormy.

Attractions

The village church in Burow is a neo-Gothic, single-nave brick building with a fieldstone base, which was last consecrated in 1873 and has small extensions with side entrances on the north and south sides. According to the weather vane, the laterally offset wooden tower on the western gable dates from 1733 and has three bells. The cross vault of the choir is decorated with ornaments. The almost hundred-year-old altar was lost in a fire in 1960. Tradition testifies that there was a church in Burow as early as 1304.

Another attraction in Burow is the village square with an oak tree and a war memorial.

The district of Burow also has a well-developed resting place for water hikers , which is located in an arm of the Müritz-Elde waterway and away from the connecting road from Lübz to Siggelkow .
