geography

The municipality of Sietow is located in the Mecklenburg Lake District , directly on the west bank of the Müritz (Sietower Bay) and roughly in the middle of the triangle between Waren (Müritz) - Malchow - Röbel / Müritz .

Sietow is surrounded by the neighboring communities of Klink in the northeast (partly sea border), Waren (Müritz) in the east (sea border), Gotthun in the southeast (partly sea border), Groß Kelle in the south, Walow in the west and Göhren-Lebbin in the northwest.

The districts of Hinrichsberg, Sietow-Dorf and Zierzow belong to Sietow.

history

The originally Slavic settled village first appeared in a document in the 13th century. The place name Sietows is derived from the Old Slavic word "zytko", which means "grain place" or "corn floodplain". Like many villages in the area, Sietow was owned by the Princes of Werle in the 13th century . Sophie von Werle sold the village in 1300 to the former tenant Dietrich von Gerden. The von Gerden family was able to increase their holdings in Sietow in the following years, but after 1340 they gave property as an after-fief to the Dobbertin monastery , which received the entire village including church patronage on March 13, 1344 from Prince Nikolaus and Bernhard von Werle.

In the 1920s, the present-day districts of Sietow-Dorf and Hinrichsberg in particular were settled by farmers from different parts of Germany. Another settlement was made by new farmers as a result of the land reform after 1945 by displaced persons.

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent communities Hinrichsberg and Zierzow were incorporated.

After 1990 Sietow saw a strong development of tourism . In addition to homes, many holiday homes were built. The tourist offers also include a campsite and a boat center in the port facility on Sietower Bay.
