history
Levitzow was first mentioned in a document in 1304, but the village is much older, the village church of Levitzow was built in the late 13th century and thus before the place was first mentioned. Levitzow was the historical ancestral seat of the noble family von Lowtzow . The place was owned by the family until the end of the 18th century and then changed hands several times. In 1837 Levitzow was owned by the Nahmacher family, who built a water mill in 1894 and the manor house in 1899.
Until 1921 Levitzow belonged to the knighthood of Neukalen and then to the office of Dargun . This in turn was dissolved in 1933 in the course of the merger of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Mecklenburg-Strelitz to form the state of Mecklenburg and the municipality of Levitzow was incorporated into the district of Malchin . In 1945 the landowners of Levitzow were expropriated as part of the land reform in the Soviet occupation zone. After the end of the Second World War , West German farming families settled in Levitzow.
From July 25, 1952, the community Levitzow was in the Teterow district (GDR district of Neubrandenburg ). Due to the arrival of the predominantly Catholic farming families, a Catholic church was built between 1954 and 1957, which means that Levitzow has two village churches. After reunification , Levitzow belonged to the Teterow district , and in 1992 the municipality merged with several other municipalities to form the Jördenstorf office to handle its administrative business . After a district reform on June 12, 1994, the community Levitzow belonged to the district of Güstrow .
On June 1, 2004 the Jördenstorf office merged with the Teterow-Land office to form the new Mecklenburg Switzerland office . Just two weeks later, on June 13, 2004, Levitzow merged with the neighboring community Sukow-Marienhof to form the new community Sukow-Levitzow. Since another regional reform on September 4, 2011, Levitzow is in the Rostock district.
