history
Mochow was first mentioned in 1346 as "Mocho". The place name, which comes from the Sorbian language , describes a settlement in which mosses grow. At that time a large parish church in the village was already mentioned. In this was the " miraculous portrait of Mary ", due to which Mochow developed into an important place of pilgrimage . In 1551 the evangelical pastor Wenzel Meth was called to Mochow, the village was slowly reformed at that time .
During the Thirty Years' War Mochow was initially protected by the army of Saxony. However, this was defeated by the Swedes at Lieberose in June 1637 . Mochow and the surrounding villages were then looted and destroyed. After the end of the war, Mochow was rebuilt by the burgraves Caspar and Christoph von Dohna . In 1655 the Swedish and later Polish general Christoph von Houwald bought the Straupitz rule and reoccupied the abandoned estates in Mochow with subjects.
The current village church was built around 1884. In 1996 it was restored. Until 1958 the Mochow children were taught in the local village school. In 1994 Helmut Kohl visited the place.
After the Congress of Vienna , Mochow came to the Kingdom of Prussia as part of Niederlausitz . There the place was in the district of Lübben in the administrative district of Frankfurt . On July 25, 1952, the community was assigned to the newly formed Lübben district in the Cottbus district . After the reunification in the GDR , Mochow was in the Lübben district in Brandenburg . On October 1, 1992, the community joined the Lieberose office . After the Brandenburg district reform on December 6, 1993, the community finally came to the newly formed district of Dahme-Spreewald . On October 26, 2003, Mochow was merged with the communities of Goyatz , Jessern , Lamsfeld-Groß Liebitz , Ressen-Zaue and Speichrow to form the new community of Schwielochsee .
