history

prehistory

Barrow number 3 of the barrow field Vieritzer Berg
Neolithic bowl (Schönfeld culture), found in Milow, district museum Jerichower Land

The area of ​​the municipality of Milower Land was demonstrably settled in prehistoric times . For example, there are finds from the Neolithic Age from the Milow district. In the Jerichower Land district museum in Genthin there is a bowl that was ascribed to the Schönfeld culture . There are also Bronze Age finds in the form of stone axes made from Milow and garlic. On the eastern slope of the Vieritzer Berg , to the east of the village, is the prehistoric burial ground called Vieritzer Berg . This consists of several secured and suspected barrows and is designated as a ground monument . Several urn grave fields from the Bronze, Iron and Roman Imperial Era were discovered near Nitzahn . These are right next to each other in the area of ​​the village exit. In the approximately 60 graves that could be assigned to the Roman Empire, for example, fibulae , knives, needles, buckles and strap tongues were found .

Urn graves found northwest of the Lutze peninsula can be dated to the 5th century. These are bowl-shaped vessels without additions and rare grave finds from the area from the migration period . Furthermore, shards that could be dated to the early medieval Slav period and a sword made around the year 800 were discovered near Möthlitz. Further Slavic settlement records exist from the Jerchel district (7th to 10th century). To the north-east of the village there was a Slavic castle wall , which could also be assigned to at least the 9th to 10th centuries on the basis of broken fragments.

middle Ages

Milow was first mentioned in 1144 in a deed of gift from Hartwig , Count von Stade , Provost of Bremen and Canon of Magdeburg , to the Archbishopric of Magdeburg . On the basis of this document it can be assumed that the place was the center of a Burgward during the High Middle Ages . Ten years later, on April 4, 1225, a pastor Johann von Mothennyz was named as a witness in an episcopal document. This could be the first written mention of Möthlitz, but this is doubted. A pastor Johann von Banthyz named in the same document is assigned to the village of Bahnitz. Jerchel was first mentioned in a document in the middle of the 14th century as "Gerchel" in the loan books of the archbishops of Magdeburg . The von Werder family owned the village . In these loan books the first unequivocal mention of Möthlitz as "Motelitze" took place. The village also belonged to the von Werder family. Bahnitz ("Bantz") belonged to the von Byern family . The well-known first mention of the Buckow district comes from 1335 and the Großwudickes from 1397 in the loan book of Archbishop Albrecht IV of Magdeburg. From 1390 to 1754 the Milow manor with the subsidiary estates Bützer, Jerchel and Marquede was owned by the von Tresckow (Treskow) family, who had the half-timbered church built on the foundations of a previous building in 1695. The builders were Johann Sigismund v. Tresckow (1660–1718) and his wife Anna Elisabeth, b. v. Katte.

Modern times

Moritz von Anhalt-Dessau acquired Milow as a Domgut in 1754. In the same year he founded the village of Leopoldsburg south of it and a year later the present-day parts of the municipality of Neu-Dessau and Wilhelminenthal. Most of the colonists in these places were Calvinists and the Leopoldsburg Church was inaugurated especially for them in 1770, where the Sparkasse is located today.

Carl Bolle (1832–1910), founder and owner of the traditional C. Bolle dairy in Berlin, built a villa in Milow, which he later left to his employees to relax. Today the Carl Bolle Youth Hostel is located in this building (completely renovated in 2010).

On November 27, 1899, the Genthin-Milow railway was put into operation. It served both passenger and freight traffic until 1967 when passenger traffic was discontinued and then goods traffic in 1971.

On April 1, 1914, the rural communities Altmilow, Neumilow and Leopoldsburg were united to form a rural community called "Milow". On September 30, 1928, the Wendeberg manor district was merged with the rural communities of Wendeberg and Knoblauch to form a rural community of Wendeberg. On February 12, 1929, the name of the rural community "Wendeberg" in the district of Jerichow II was changed to "Knoblauch". On July 1, 1950, the municipality Knoblauch (with the districts Knoblauch and Wendeberg) was incorporated into Nitzahn.

On September 30, 1928 was Gutsbezirk Milow associated with the rural community Milow.

At the end of the Second World War , three Milow citizens, the schoolteacher Pritzkow, the farmer Fritz Ohm and the pastor Paul Büchtemann, rendered great services to the place when they organized the raising of white flags in an intrepid confrontation with the SS commander and thus the place spared its violent destruction by the Red Army .

At the beginning of the 1950s, the agricultural production cooperatives (LPG) "Friendship" (1952, Type III) and "Heimaterde" (1953) were founded in Milow . They were merged in 1969. While plants were produced in Nitzahn , Milower LPG specialized in animal production. In 1975 the merger with the LPG Jerchel took place .

In the course of the formation of offices in Brandenburg in 1992, the following eight municipalities from the former Rathenow district merged to form an administrative association, called Amt Milow: Großwudicke, Milow, Nitzahn, Vieritz, Jerchel, Möthlitz, Bützer and Zollchow. On July 3, 1992, the Minister of the Interior gave his approval for the establishment of the Milow Office, which was established on July 16, 1992. The seat of the official administration was the municipality of Milow. Günter Geib became the first official director.

On October 26, 2003, Milow was merged with the towns of Bützer , Großwudicke , Jerchel , Möthlitz , Vieritz and Zollchow to form the municipality of Milower Land.
