history

In 1655 Schmarsow (also in Low German Schmorse ) was named as the property of Niklas von Below's widow . Around 1680 the village went to Rüdiger Otto von Zitzewitz , whose son Ernst Bogislav von Zitzewitz sold it in 1731 to Captain Ludwig Friedrich Marschall von Bieberstein . He sold it to the Prussian Minister of State Otto Christoph Graf von Podewils auf Krangen in 1740 .

Around 1780 Schmarsow had one Vorwerk , five farmers, one tank and one neuangelegtes Vorwerk. In 1818 120 people lived here. Their number rose to 285 by 1895 and was 247 in 1939.
