history

Great Gaglow was founded by Slavic tribes around 600 AD. According to Götz Frh. Von Houwald (Die Niederlausitzer Rittergüter) , Groß Gaglow - like the neighboring Klein Gaglow - was a knightly enclave in the middle of the Brandenburg rule of Kottbus and seems to have been part of Brandenburg and one of the Niederlausitzer (Bohemian or Saxon) Lehnskurie alleged to have been divided, which was only integrated into the Kottbuser Kreis in 1815 and had previously belonged to the Spremberg district.

In 1466 at least the Brandenburg part of Groß Gaglow, like Klein Gaglow, was owned by Siegmund and Hans von dem Berge. The respective feudal sovereignty went across the village. After that the village seems to have disintegrated under different owners. The von Beier (Beyer), the von Zabeltitz, but also since 1570 the von Pannwitz, who were to be located there until the middle of the 18th century, owned a share. The last Pannwitz owner was Major General Wolf Adolf von Pannwitz, who sold Gross Gaglow in 1730 for 9,200 thalers to his sister Martha Elisabeth. Martha Elisabeth was married to the Electorate Colonel Sergeant Heinrich Wilhelm von Köpping. In 1752 she sold Groß Gaglow to Margarethe von Sonntag, née von List, after which the property came to the von Massow family in her second marriage and later to Carl Albrecht von Görschen in 1788.

In 1844 the village of Groß Gaglow had 45 residential buildings with 298 inhabitants. At that time the manor was owned by NN Scheibner. But Carl Emil Malin was mentioned as early as 1856. He was a son of the royal medical council and doctor of Prince Pückler-Muskau, Dr. Karl Malin. Her husband Richard Detering seems to have come into possession through Carl Emil Malin's daughter, Elisabeth Detering. Later Margarethe Freifrau von Kittlitz is named as the owner of the remaining property Groß Gaglow and for another part the Brasch family. The latter appears as the owner in 1929. From 1930 until the Nazi seizure of power in 1933 was in large Gaglow under the direction of Martin Gerson , the Jewish agricultural work GmbH , a settlement project, the 820 morning included country and as part of the restructuring was intended for agricultural education of Jewish youth.

In 1957 a horticultural production cooperative (GPG) was founded in Groß Gaglow . From this, today's horticultural company Floralia emerged.
