history

Medrow was first mentioned in 1242 as Mederow. A castle called "villam Mederow" with a moat was proven from an earlier Slavic settlement. In the 13th and 14th centuries the village became a knight's seat. Medrow belonged to Swedish Pomerania between 1648 and 1815 . Since 1683 Medrow belongs to the parish of Glewitz. The church construction began in 1687 and ended 13 years later. In the 17th century Jacob von Pfuel (1626–1702) was enfeoffed with Medrow and Nehringen . The next owner, Count Meyerfeldt, had a glassworks built. In 1755 the Hagenow family took over the estates of Medrow, Langenfelde and Glewitz on a lease basis . In 1828, the second son Wilhelm von Hagenow took over the Medrow estate from his older brother Friedrich von Hagenow and had new farm buildings built or converted. From the end of the 19th century until the escape in 1945, the von Witzleben family were landowners.

In 1932/33 part of the property was sold to the Loitzer Siedlungsgesellschaft. Of 4500 acres of land, Eric von Witzleben left 1,000 acres . About 70 new farm positions were set up on the rest. The full farmers received 60 barns and the stables from the former farm of the property. However, they were only partially used for commercial or residential purposes. The modernized cottages of the new farmers now stretch along both sides of the street that leads to the manor house. This stands empty and is surrounded by a park.
