Beginnings

The village of Gülzow in the area of ​​the Sadelbande is mentioned for the first time in the Ratzeburg tithe register from 1230 ( Gvltsowe ). It belongs to a group of Slavic named places, Kollow , Börse , Krukow , Thömen and Krüzen , which lie outside the old settlement area of ​​the Abodrites and whose districts belong to the areas opened up by the Saxon land development at the latest in the 10th century. In the 11th century this area, located on the forest belt and originally forming the border between Saxony and Slavs, was occupied by Polabians who successfully maintained their settlements until the beginning of the colonization period. The place name Gülzow ( old Polish * Golišov ) is a formation from a personal name and means "settlement of the Golisch".

The Gülzow estate

For centuries the Gülzow estate was owned by the Schack family, from which the Danish field marshal Hans Schack emerged . In 1654 Gut Gülzow was given to Bonaventure III. sold by Bodeck . The Bodeck family owned the estate until 1739. During this period, wine was grown in Gülzow, as in other places in Lauenburg. This is proven by entries about wine growers in Gülzow church registers from 1684 to 1725. B. 1686 " September 13th the wine grower and bird catcher is copulated here on the estate Jürgen Ölenschläger from Frankfurt and Anna Sophia Pröschen from Schwarzenbek cook here on the estate in our Gülzau church ".

In 1739 Georg Ludwig von Kielmansegg acquired the estate from the Bodeck family; the Counts of Kielmansegg remained owners of the property until 1930. Since then, the estate has been owned by the Fischer family from Hamburg .

At the end of the Second World War

On April 29, 1945, the British troops crossed from Artlenburg to the opposite bank of the Elbe near Schnakenbek . There they set up a bridgehead . The city ​​of Lauenburg was then occupied. The British advanced as far as Gülzow that day, where they then fired. Apparently some houses were destroyed in the process and the school was bombarded with death. On May 1st, Gülzow was finally occupied. Schwarzenbek, to the north, was also occupied by the British. The residents of Gülzow apparently had to leave the houses that day so that they could be searched by the British, and a curfew was imposed. The British soldiers apparently used Gülzow's vacated houses as accommodation for a few days.

post war period

The British soldiers stayed in Gülzow until late summer. The inn and a Gülzow shop remained occupied. The population had increased significantly due to refugees (see Refugees in Schleswig-Holstein after the Second World War ). School operations could be resumed around autumn.

The community has belonged to the Schwarzenbek-Land office since 1948 .
