History and etymology
The village was first mentioned in 1321 as Slepecow . The name is said to be derived from a person called Slepek , which means something like "The blind one". Matthias Friske reports in his remarks The medieval churches in the northern and eastern Uckermark: History - Architecture - Equipment that this year the 40 Hufen village was given as war compensation by the Pomeranian Duke to a "Dominus H. Mysner". A stone church was built in the church village in the second half of the 13th century . Little is known about the further history for many centuries. In the Country Book of Charles IV. Schlepkow is not listed, as well as Wolfhagen to which it so seriously Fidicin to have heard "since time immemorial". It belonged to the diocese of Cammin and in 1543 had neither a parsonage nor parish hooves. It is possible that the village had fallen almost desolate before that time . In any case, it was settled in 1543, because there were around 60 shock (= communicants) in the village church .
There was no further evidence until 1608. In a report by an electoral land rider , Schlepkow appeared as an estate that belonged to the Blankenburg family. At that time it should have consisted of two parts: a manor belonging to Georg von Blankenburg and another part, presumably the village that belonged to Otto von Blankenburg. This share went to Count Otto von Schwerin on October 5, 1650 . The manor was 2,298 acres , including 1,600 acres of fields, 117 acres of meadows and 564 acres of forest. According to a castle cadastre from 1624, eleven Hufner and eleven Kossaten lived in the village , some of which were bought out. The village was 643 acres. In 1705 Schlepkow came into the line of his grandson, who was also called Otto von Schwerin.
In 1771 there were 27 fireplaces (= households) and 170 inhabitants. In the following years the development stagnated, so that in 1803 there were only 17 houses with 156 inhabitants and this number fell further to 150 in 1816. In 1827, Count Hermann von Schwerin took over. In 1840 Schlepkow had 15 houses with 187 inhabitants and in 1861 a total of 20 houses with 303 inhabitants. At that time there were still two public and 41 farm buildings. Hermann von Schwerin died in 1858 and Schlepkow came through a contractual relationship from July 20, 1852 and an inheritance lawsuit from May 19, 1860 to the eldest son, who in turn was called Otto. His possession was confirmed on February 25, 1862.
On May 2, 1979 Schlepkow was incorporated into Lemmersdorf, which was renamed Hetzdorf with effect from December 31, 2001 and incorporated into the community of Uckerland. In 2017 there was a fire in which the manor house was badly damaged.

The legend of the hand in Schlepkow
In 1549, the then squire Hennig von Blankenburg had a driven hunt carried out in bad weather. However, two drivers from Schlepkow did not return to the village even after several days. The residents thought that they would have stayed in Wolfshagen. However, Schlepkower farmers found the body of one of the missing persons and shortly afterwards a piece of clothing from the second missing person. Since the murderer could not yet be identified, the right hand of the corpse was cut off according to an old custom to serve as evidence of the crime.
Further investigations revealed that the murdered man wanted to marry a young woman. She suspected his friend who tried to gain access to four hooves of land with the crime. Since she could not provide any evidence, the act initially went unpunished. 20 years later, an older brother of the suspect appeared and married the now aged woman. At the wedding, she preferred the chopped off hand of the murdered man, whereupon the older brother confessed.
