history

The village was first mentioned in the Landbuch of the Mark Brandenburg from 1375 as Poltzow . Around 1375 Polzow was owned by the Dukes of Pomerania and was later half Brandenburg and half Pomeranian fiefdom . Before 1375 to 1738 the von Lindstedts zu Bröllin leased parts of Polzow, while other parts had different owners over the centuries, such as the St. Georgs- and Heiliggeist-Hospital zu Pasewalk, those from Ramin zu Borck , von Cöppen, von Eickstedt , von Wedell zu Göritz and Malchow and those of Görne. In 1627 Polzow was deserted by the effects of the Thirty Years' War , was burned down by troops passing through in 1654 and remained a desert until 1674 .

With in 1818 in the Kingdom of Prussia carried out basic administrative reform, the reorganization of the provinces, counties and districts, belonged Polzow than uckermärkisches village in the Mark Brandenburg 1818-1950 for the district Prenzlau in the administrative district of Potsdam in the Prussian province of Brandenburg . It also belonged to the Patrimonial Court of Göritz until 1849 and to the district court district of Brüssow from 1879 to 1952. With the GDR district reform in 1950 , it was then added to the newly formed ( Western Pomerania ) Pasewalk district in the state of Mecklenburg . In 1801 Polzow was a village and an estate, the estate was renamed Neu-Polzow in 1924 and in 1928 the village and estate were merged again. Neu-Polzow has been a residential area of ​​Polzow since 1950 and Roggow was incorporated into Polzow on January 1, 1951. In 1915 the writer Irma Harder , born in Polzow , was born. Lankow († 2008) born. In 1937 she married the middle farmer Adalbert Harder, with whom she ran a farm in the nearby village of Zerrenthin / Pasewalk district. After the death of her husband in 1946, she continued to run the farm. At the same time, she began to write plays for an amateur drama group she founded and to write first stories. In these, she presented a realistic picture of everyday village life in a simple style, as she experienced it during her time as a farmer. In 1956 she went to Potsdam as a freelance writer.

Due to the dissolution of the federal states and the formation of the districts in the GDR in July 1952 , Polzow and the Pasewalk district now belonged to the Neubrandenburg district until 1990 . Until 1948, the Soviet Military Administration in Germany (SMAD) expropriated land from large landowners , divided it up and redistributed it to farmers or displaced persons with a land reform in the Soviet Occupation Zone (SBZ) . In Polzow, 205 hectares of land were expropriated and redistributed.

On January 1, 1951, the previously independent community Roggow was incorporated.

In 1954 the first LPG type III was founded in Polzow, which in 1957 comprised a total of 43 members and 303 hectares of land. In 1960 the LPG Type III, which now comprised 84 members and 580 hectares of land, merged with the LPG Type I (34 members, 231 hectares of land), which had been founded recently. In 1974 the LPGs merged in Polzow, Zerrenthin and Rossow, with LPG Polzow forming part of the LPG Rossow.

In 1990, with German reunification, the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania was rebuilt for the second time after 1945. As a result of the district reform in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 1994, the three GDR districts Pasewalk, Ueckermünde and Strasburg formed the new district of Uecker-Randow , to which Polzow belonged until 2011. As a result of another district reform in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 2011 , Polzow has since been part of the newly formed district of Western Pomerania-Greifswald .
