history
The name Stechow appears for the first time in 1317 in connection with the personal name Eberhardo de Stechow . The village of Stechow was first mentioned in the Landbuch of the Mark Brandenburg from the year 1375. The place name indicates a Slavic establishment, later the Slavic inhabitants were displaced by German settlers during the eastern colonization of the 13th century. The place name denotes the "settlement of a man who bears the name Sdech ". From the first mention, Stechow was demonstrably owned by the von Stechow family , who had their ancestral home in the village.
Due to increasing debts, the von Stechow had to sell parts of their property again and again. The then landlord Caspar Heinrich von Stechow was able to keep the manor house until 1725 and then offered it to a relative in Kotzen for purchase. However, this could not pay the purchase price and the property was sold to Captain Ludwig von Bredow zu Liepe. In 1877 the old Stechow manor was torn down and a new building was erected. The Stechow estate remained in the possession of von Bredow through inheritance until it was expropriated during the land reform in the Soviet occupation zone .
From 1817 on, Stechow belonged to the Westhavelland district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg . From April 2, 1900 to 1945, Stechow had a stop on the route of the Rathenow-Senzke-Nauen district railway . After the expropriation of the von Bredow after the Second World War , the manor house was largely demolished. In the period that followed, the manor house initially housed people who had been expelled from their homeland from eastern Germany, and from the 1950s onwards the building was used as a school and kindergarten. On July 25, 1952, the Westhavelland district was dissolved and Stechow came to the Rathenow district in the GDR district of Potsdam . After reunification, the community was first in the Rathenow district ; since December 6, 1993, Stechow has been in the Havelland district.
On December 31, 2002, Stechow merged with Ferchesar to form the new municipality of Stechow-Ferchesar . The primary school in Stechow was closed in 2004 due to insufficient occupancy, the local children have been attending the primary school in Nennhausen since then.
