History and etymology

Early to the 16th century

Ragow village church recorded at the village festival in September 2006

Excavations have shown that the place was settled very early. The place is first mentioned as Rogow in 1375 in the land register of Emperor Charles IV . It belonged to the city of Mittenwalde from before 1450 and was a total of 52 hooves in 1450 , of which the pastor accounted for three hooves. This is also evidence of a village church that must have existed in the village. There was also a mill. The place was settled by 16 köttern who operated agriculture. 1527 Ragow could have been a branch church of Klein Kienitz . In 1542 the chaplain from Mittenwalde was on a visitation in town; as in 1544. 1573 a Lehnschulzengut first appeared, that in Ragow there was a mayor , with his possession by the owner (the city Mittenwalde) invested was. He had four free hooves for which he did not have to pay any taxes. The residents had to pay taxes for the jug , the so-called Zapzenzins, the meat tithe and smokers from two kotters. The statistics also show that “dung from the forge and the shepherd's house” had to be delivered. There were two four-hoofed , nine three-hoofed, one Kruger and 17 Kötter including the miller. In the files there was also talk of a “dairy near the village” belonging to the “Mittenwalde Council”. It was six hooves, three of which were on the Feldmark Ragow and three on the Feldmark Wierigsdorf to the north (not to be confused with the district of Wierigsdorf in the city of Luckau ). The Hufner and Kötter from Ragow had the right to use 25 hooves on the desert Feldmark Wierigsdorf. The jug there was rented to the Schulzen.

17th century

In 1605 there were 13 Hufner in the village. The number of killers was not known. Two free goods appeared with sheep farming justice. Once again, the farmers were able to use 25 hooves on the desert field mark of Wierigsdorf. There were three hoofers and a windmill. This means that the farmers no longer have to go to a neighboring village to have their flour milled. In addition, a vineyard appeared for the first time. Before the Thirty Years' War there lived in 1624: 14 Hufner, 17 Kötter as well as the miller, a blacksmith, a shepherd, two pairs of householders and the shepherd servant. However, four Kötterhöfe were already in desolation. During the war there were two dairy farms in the village in 1645. In 1652 Schulze was still living with his two sons, 13 farmers with three sons and eight farmhands and boys. There were also 13 dogs and four sons. Compared to other localities, Ragow was therefore less affected by the long decades of war.

18th century

In 1711 there were 13 hoofers, 14 kötter, a miller, a shepherd, a servant and a blacksmith in Ragow. The district was 42 hooves and the residents each had to pay eight groschen in taxes. In 1745 there were 13 farmers and 15 kötter. The windmill and the pitcher still existed. In 1748 there were two Vierhufner and eleven Dreihufner. Of these, nine farmers also had two each, and four other farmers each had a lease hoof in Wieringsdorf. There was one kötter with a village hoof, 14 kötter with wörden. Ten of them have leased seven unoccupied hooves from the town hall, now desolate dairy farm, and seven hooves from the desolate Feldmark Wierigsdorf. The farmers have the shepherd justice of up to 500 sheep. In 1755 seven colonists came to the place, including four from the Palatinate . They were each given one and a half hooves on the desert field mark of Wierigsdorf in order to reclaim them. Then the desert Feldmark was moved to Feldmark Ragow. In 1771 Ragow consisted of 28 gables (= houses). There was a miller, a blacksmith and a shepherd. The district was still 42 hooves in size, the taxes still amounted to eight groschen.
