history

In 946/948 there was a castle ( civitas ) with a castle district ( burgwardium ) in Nizem . These were first mentioned in the founding document of the diocese of Havelberg . The church was built as a stone structure around the 13th century. Until at least 1337 Nitzow was the center of a small country ( Terra ). In 1430 it was still referred to as a city with mayors and councilors (city council). The place still owned in the 18./19. Century a wooden Roland (as a symbol of a former city), which has not been preserved.

Around 1940 extensive military installations were built north of Nitzow. Foreign forced laborers were also used in this property; the Glöwen subcamp existed there from 1944 to 1945 .

The municipality of Nitzow belonged to the Westprignitz district in the state of Brandenburg until 1952. With the dissolution of the states and the formation of the districts and districts in the GDR, the community came to the newly formed district of Havelberg in the district of Magdeburg . When it was incorporated into the city of Havelberg on January 1, 2002, Nitzow lost its political independence.
