history

Dorow southeast of the city of Regenwalde (Regenwolde) and northwest of the city of Labes on the map of Eilhard Lubinus from 1618 (excerpt)
Dorow on the Schmettauschen map around 1780 (excerpt)

The forerunner of today's village was probably a Slavic residential area in the early Middle Ages: In addition to the settlements that were usually fully fenced, there were residential areas in the form of free-standing farmsteads, called "dvora", which means courtyard. This could explain the place name. According to another opinion, Dorow is a Slavic place name, which has developed from the personal name Dor with the property-indicating ending " ow ". Dor is the short form of Dora or Theodor. There is another place of the same name only in the Grimmen district in Western Pomerania .

The place Dorow appears for the first time in the documents when the fiefdom of the Vidante in Regenwalde and in the villages of Gardin, Dorow, Labuhn and Dobritz in 1447 after the death of Pribislav Vidante, the last of his family, to whose son-in-law Claus Borcke passed. Until then, the Vidante and the Borcke had owned the town of Regenwalde together. In 1282 the Borcke appear for the first time as owners of the castle and the surrounding land. As early as February 23, 1288, the Vidante also had a share in the castle, town and country. Most likely Dorow was one of them.

During this time, increased German settlement activity in the Regenwalde area is likely, because the Borcke transfer the city of Regenwalde to Dietrich Horn for establishment according to Greifswald law , along with 20 hooves for their own use, and give the town the surrounding field mark, where further settlements are then have arisen. The Vidante are likely to have acted similarly in their area. Presumably Dorow was not one of the new settlements of that time, but existed as a Slavic settlement before. When it was founded is unknown.

Brüggemann (1784, p. 335) describes Dorow as follows: “½ mile from Regenwalde south-east, has 1 farm, 11 farmers, 1 schoolhouse, 19 fire places, a church belonging to the Regenwaldeschen Synod, which is a branch of Obernhagen, oak wood, which in the so-called peasant wood belonging to the village and the church and in the heege belonging to the lordship, and is an old Borck's fief, which the Rittmeister Philipp Carl Ludwig von Borck owns. "

Until 1945 Dorow belonged to the Regenwalde district in the administrative district of Stettin , since 1939 in the administrative district of Köslin in the Pomeranian province of the German Empire .

Towards the end of the Second World War , the Red Army occupied the region in the spring of 1945 . Shortly thereafter, Dorow was placed under Polish administration. As far as the locals had not fled, they were in the period that followed sold and Poland replaced. The German village of Dorow was renamed Dorowo .

Good Dorow

In 1826 Philipp Carl Ludwig von Borcke (1748–1826) sold the Dorow estate (together with the Regenwalde, Flackenhagen, Labuhn, Höfchen, Grünhof, Lowin, Ornshagen and Patzig estates) to Ernst von Bülow-Cummerow (1775–1851). Other owners were from 1844 to 1851 the Heydebrecks and in 1851 temporarily a landowner Lange, from whom Adolf von Oertzen (1825-1857) from Brunn near Neubrandenburg acquired it in 1852 . After his untimely death, his widow Anna, nee Countess Reichenbach-Goschütz (1828–1904) transferred the estate to the Hingst Economics Council and moved to live with her parents in Weißstein in the Waldenburg district in Silesia . In 1892 her son Karl von Oertzen (1855–1907) took the business out of the lease. He had been with Elisabeth von Oertzen , born in 1890 . von Thadden (1860–1944) from Trieglaff , who became known as a writer and continued to run the farm after her husband's death - supported since 1922 by her son-in-law Otto von der Linde (1892–1984), who leased the estate from 1929 and until cultivated for occupation by the Red Army. Shortly before their invasion, he was able to flee with his family and members of the estate on February 3, 1945 on a trek and get to Schleswig-Holstein to safety.

Dorow manor from the south (street side) - before 1900

Gut Dorow with the Eichhof Vorwerk had an area of ​​689 hectares. About half of this was arable land, the other half meadows and forest with a lake. In 1939 the livestock consisted of 50 horses, 100 head of cattle, 400 sheep and 230 pigs. A distillery also belonged to the estate. The manor house was built in 1852 by Adolf von Oertzen in the style of a Tuscan country house. After the residents had fled, it was initially empty and was gradually demolished in the following years. A lime tree avenue (picture) that has been preserved led through the estate park to a family cemetery, remains of which can still be seen (picture). The following members of the von Oertzen family are buried there:

  • Adolf von Oertzen (1825-1857)
  • Karl von Oertzen (1855–1907) and Elisabeth, born. von Thadden (1860–1944)
  • Victor von Oertzen (1854–1934), Lieutenant General
  • Günther von Oertzen (1891–1918, killed as a pilot lieutenant in France). For him, a boulder was set up as a memorial stone in the manor park, on which there was a plaque with his relief image (picture), which was created by the sculptor Wilhelm von Winterfeld (1898–1997). This boulder is still in its original location - but without the sticker.

The Kastanienallee that runs past the manor goes back to Adolf von Oertzen.

Round barn and other historical buildings

On the Eichhof Vorwerk there was a listed barn from the time of Frederick the Great († 1786) . Its construction was connected with the introduction of rapeseed cultivation. It had the round shape because the rape was ridden in it. The walls were one meter wide and made of clay frameworks. The roof was covered with reeds. The strong oak beams inside were still hand-hewn. The barn was set on fire by the Red Army in March 1945 and burned down.

Between the manor house and the manor house there was an old blacksmith's shop with an attached half-timbered bakery by a pond. Only the foundation walls of this can be seen. However, there is still an old photo and a picture from 1934 by Emil Ernst Heinsdorff (1887–1948).

Shortly after the First World War , a major fire broke out on the estate, which killed several farm buildings. At that time, an old half-timbered barn was preserved, on which there was a stork's nest and which was therefore called the "stork barn". There is also a picture of her. It was no longer preserved after 1945.

Town development and farms until 1945

In 1871 Dorow had 323 inhabitants, of which 147 belonged to the rural community and 176 to the manor district. By 1905 the number of inhabitants fell to 282 (rural community 140, manor district 141). In 1925 the census showed a resident population of 306 residents. They lived in 57 households (5.4 inhabitants per household, 1.8 households per house). With 299 Protestants (97.7%), the vast majority of the population were Protestant. There were also four Catholics (1.3%). In the period that followed, the number of inhabitants fell further to 266 (1933) and 240 (1939). The population lived mainly from agriculture. There was also a school (last headmaster: Otto Böttcher), an inn (last owner Walter Giese) and a stop on the Regenwalde - Meesow (Mieszewo) - Daber (Dobra) small railway line . Dorow belonged to the district of Elvershagen ( Łagiewniki ).

In 1717 there were 12 farms in Dorow, most of which existed until 1945. In 1939 there were 14 farms in addition to the estate, which together farmed 430 hectares. These included the holdings of Wilhelm Böhnke (20 ha), Otto Buß (33 ha), Willi Lüdtke (32 ha), Franz Moesch (45 ha), Helmut Petzke (33 ha), Ernst Rusch (24 ha), Gustav Zahn ( 49 ha), Julius Zahn (36 ha), August Zuhse (45 ha). A detailed description of the location and history of the farms is available (Hannemann, 1986).

church

The church is a half-timbered building closed in the east, with a detached tower with a baroque dome in front of it in the west. There is no reliable information about their origin. There is a first documentary evidence for 1738. In that year the Obernhagen pastor Friedrich König was buried at his request in Dorow Church, which was a daughter church of Obernhagen ( Lubień Górny ). Parish still belonged Niederhagen ( Lubień Dolny ) and Elvers Hagen ( Łagiewniki ) with Liebenthal, Louisenhof and Ottoburg ( Bezmoście ). Baptism registers have been kept since 1618, marriage and death registers since 1680. The church registers from the years 1863 to 1945 were saved after the Second World War. The last Protestant pastor was Gerhard Krockow in Obernhagen.

Fallen memorial

Fallen memorial Dorow 2011

In front of the church is the monument to the twelve fallen soldiers of the First World War. It originally stood in the community cemetery and was moved to its current location in front of the church after the old school burned down around 1930. The memorial consists of a large granite block with the names of the fallen, their military rank and the dates of birth and death. Below is the inscription "Honor your memory", above was the iron cross made of stone, which now lies in front of the memorial.
