history
The original name of the place is Degetow. Already in 1230 it was mentioned as Degetowe , 1267 as Deghetowe . The name could have been derived from the Slavic degot for birch tar .
According to Wiebeking's map, the areas that are now under nature conservation were used as pasture around 1780. Around 1817 the Poischower Mühlenbach was straightened and the drainage of the moor started. From the 19th century until 1988, marl was mined for brick production. Peat from the moors was used as fuel , and meadow lime was mined to the west of the brickworks, which the open water bodies still bear witness to today.
On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Hamberge was incorporated. On July 1, 1961, the Degtow community had to give up its independence. She came to Grevesmühlen.
