history
The town, which later became a manor, was a sovereign town on a par with the towns of Friedeberg and Woldenberg in the 14th century, with a permanent castle. The margraves Otto IV , Konrad I , Johann IV and Woldemar , who often hunted in the surrounding forests - called Tankowsche Heide in the 14th century and Wildenowscher Forst in modern times - prepared a certificate of authorization for the here in 1303 City of Kallies . Fairs were held here next to the church. Buckwheat was grown in the fields around Tankow , and the yields from it were so significant that they were listed in the land book of Charles IV under the state revenue.
In 1352 a Frankfurt citizen received the castle and the entire Tankower Heideland including the so-called Landsberger Heide. In 1853, Margrave Ludwig awarded the Tankower See and the Heidewasser to the Tankower council members and common citizens. In 1465 the castle and town, which subsequently sank into a village, came to the Papstein family from Brandenburg , who owned it until they died out (around 1790). In 1496 Tankow was transformed into a hereditary fiefdom by Elector Friedrich II . From around 1793 the manor was owned by the Massow family , who owned it after the turn of the century.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the village had eleven farmers, six kossas , a parish farmer, a blacksmith, a fisherman, two separate water mills and a forestry with 10,000 acres of forest. After the middle of the 19th century there were still 8,300 acres of forest here.
In 1820 the Brand family bought the castle at Gut Lauchstädt . In 1828 the widow v. Brand, born v. Sack, named as the owner of the estate. Camillus von Brand had the margravial castle demolished in 1830. In another place he built a new castle. The manor then came to the Erxleben family through marriage . In 1933 the officer Wichard von Alvensleben (1902–1982) married the last owner of the estate with that name, Cora von Erxleben.
Until 1945 the village belonged to the district of Friedeberg Nm. , from 1816 to 1938 in the Frankfurt administrative district of the Prussian province of Brandenburg , from October 1938 to 1945 in the Grenzmark Posen-West Prussia administrative district of the Pomerania province .
Towards the end of the Second World War , the region was occupied by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 . The landowner Cora von Alvensleben shot herself on January 29, 1945 when the Soviet troops arrived . The Red Army ransacked the castle and burned it down. Soon after, Tankow was placed under Polish administration. In the following years the residents of Tankow were expelled . Tankow was renamed Danków .
