geography
Reestow is accessed through village streets in the direction of Liepe and Grüssow . There is a small swimming area on the north bank of the peninsula on the backwater . The water-rich area around the place is of considerable ornithological importance, the closer environment is a habitat of particularly protected species, u. a. for white storks and sea eagles .
history
The place was first mentioned in 1270 as Redesowe in the possession of the Grobe monastery (from 1309 Pudagla ). The name is traced back to a person's name.
As a result of the Thirty Years' War, the population here and throughout Pomerania was decimated to around a third by acts of war with violence, looting, etc., as well as by the plague. The inventory from 1666 mentions only three heads of household, two farmers and a kötter . The Swedish land survey from 1693 lists 5 names (one full farmer, two half farmers, a cowherd and a kötter).
The village is a cluster village and functionally a farming village. The characteristic features are farms protected by hedges and surrounded by traditional cottage gardens. The structure of the village has not changed until today. Tourist uses are very low.
To protect nature, special requirements are placed on development projects. Negotiations were carried out over several years until the local swing golf course (a simplified version of golf sport) was approved , and stipulations ensure that the extensive sporting form of use does not run counter to nature conservation objectives.
On July 1, 1990 Reestow was incorporated into Liepe .
