Surname

From 1158 the landscape was called Darrsowe or Darxowe , in 1188 it was called Dartzchowe . In 1219 the place Dassow was first mentioned as Dartzowe ( old Polish name for place of thorns or bushes ). The spelling changed to Darsowe in 1415 and Dassow in the 15th century.

middle Ages

In the middle of the 12th century the Slavic castle was transformed into a German castle with a settlement, conveniently located on the road from Lübeck to Wismar . In defense of the Barbarossa privilege of 1188, the Lübeckers repeatedly came into conflict with the local nobility and the Mecklenburg dukes. In 1219 the Bishop of Ratzeburg waived his share of the bridge toll on the Dassower Bridge over the Stepenitz. The Duke, for his part, renounced the following year. In 1307 the Lübeckers decided with the Lauenburgers and the Holsteiners in peace at Herrenfähre to destroy the Dassow Castle. Still, no lasting peace returned. In 1505 the feud between the Hanseatic city of Lübeck and Mecklenburg and the Knights of Parkenthin in Dassow broke out in Lübeck .

The early Gothic Nikolaikirche was built as a granite block building in the second half of the 13th century. It is mentioned as early as 1230 in the Ratzeburg tithe register , which lists the localities that belonged to the diocese of Ratzeburg at that time , sorted according to parishes . The brick church tower dates from the 16th century.

The nearby Feldhusen castle wall dates from the 10th – 12th centuries. Century.

Dassow belonged to Mecklenburg, with the third division of Mecklenburg in 1701 to Mecklenburg-Schwerin .

The most striking point is the reservoir built in the 18th century at the mouth of the Stepenitz . Here the goods from the area were stacked, which ships brought to nearby Lübeck.

Since the Middle Ages Dassow was associated with the lordship of Lütgenhof as a knightly spot ; the respective owner of Lütgenhof was both court lord and mayor of Dassow. In the 19th century, the constitution of the Fleckens and the regulation of the relationship between the inhabitants of the Fleckens Dassow and their landlord, the judiciary from Paepke on Lützenhof was a constant topic. In 1857, Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II issued a regulatory recession over the area and the Dassow field mark, and Paepcke gave the place its first basic and municipal code. On January 1, 1910, Dassow came to the Grand Ducal Domanium together with Vorwerk and Neuvorwerk . For this, the then owner of Lütgenhof Raimar von Paepcke received the Holm forest district from the Grand Duke and a payment of 150,000 marks. Dassow was granted town charter on April 1, 1938.

Dassow was occupied by US troops in early May 1945.

In May 1945 there was an explosion of discarded ammunition on the Holmer Feld near Spezenbruch near Dassow, which killed 28 German prisoners of war deployed there. They were buried in the local cemetery.

Dassow, the most north-westerly town of the GDR , was in the middle of the restricted area of ​​the GDR border until the end of 1989 and could not be reached without special permits . The Dassower See, which belongs to Lübeck and thus to the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, was separated from the city by the GDR border barriers and was not accessible from here. The near the Dassower lake at the transit route F 105 located Siechenhaus before Dassow was 1972/1973 eliminated from the boundary forces.

The city ​​center and the old warehouse of Dassow have been completely renovated since 1991 as part of the urban development subsidy.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of the city of Dassow
 Blazon : "In silver on green ground a red castle with two pointed crenellated towers and an open gate, inside a green thorn bush."

The coat of arms was created by the Schwerin lithographer and painter Otto Menzel based on a proposal by the director of the Schwerin Secret and Main Archives, Dr. Friedrich Stuhr designed. It was awarded on October 28, 1927 by the Mecklenburg-Schwerin State Ministry and registered under the number 176 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Reasons for the coat of arms: The coat of arms connects an urban symbol, a castle, with a speaking sign, a thorn bush as a reference to the Slavic place name (darč = thorn bush). According to popular tradition, the blocking of the gate by a thorn bush is said to have contributed to the fact that the place remained untouched by all innovations for centuries and kept a deep sleep.
