geography

history

The first documentary mention comes from 1255 in connection with the Ratzeburg tithe register , when Steesow was an estate . From 1496 the estate belonged to the Quitzow family from Brandenburg . The geometer, farmer and sugar industrialist Anton Ludwig Sombart (1816–1898), father of the economist Werner Sombart and decisive critic of the Prussian parceling process, carried out a private "colonization" on the Steesow manor that he had acquired through a foreclosure auction . After the purchase, he divided the estate into several larger and smaller pieces of land, had 20 other farmers colonize the area in addition to four existing colonists and was able to transfer the former estate from the status of an estate district to the status of a municipal district from 1886. He used this process of dividing up a large farm to create small and medium-sized businesses as a successful practical example to advertise it with presentations.

The districts of Bochin and Zuggelrade belonging to the municipality of Steesow were first mentioned in documents in 1358 and 1542. Until 1952 the three districts belonged to the district of Westprignitz (State of Brandenburg). With the dissolution of the states, the creation of districts and the fundamental district reform in the GDR, the three communities came to the Ludwigslust district and thus to the Schwerin district .

The local elections on June 7, 2009 fell in Steesow due to a lack of candidates. On January 1, 2016, the community of Steesow was incorporated into Grabow, although there was no common border. Steesow, Bochin and Zuggelrade thus form an exclave of Grabow, which is around six kilometers from the rest of the municipality. Two other communities are located between Grabow and the Steesow exclave.

In the municipality of Steesow and its districts, 197 inhabitants lived on 24.4 km² (as of December 31, 2014). The last mayor was Evelin Gernke.

Holdseelen manor

The Holdseelen manor was located between Steesow and Zuggelrade. Until the beginning of the 20th century, it was owned by the Blumenthal family from Brandenburg , together with the Pröttlin manor . The estate was last owned by the Heike family. After the estate had stood empty for years, the ruins were completely demolished.

Archaeological finds

Drawing of the jug

In the early 1830s, a double-edged sword tapering towards the point , the grip tongue of which was without rivet holes, was found during field work by the Gutsacker . A misshapen, hand-molded, mortar-like jar weighing nearly 100 pounds was recovered with it. Because it consisted of burnt, coarse-grained red brick earth and had technical defects, contemporaries did not assign it to the Middle Ages, but to the pagan period. Both were then given to Professor Danneil zu Salzwedel by Oberamtmann Meyer zu Chorin. Together with several other urns that were found in the area, including in Deibow, these pieces came to Berlin, where they were exhibited in the Museum zu Berlin. The sword is now considered lost.

Transport links

Steesow is located in the triangle between Ludwigslust , Perleberg and Dannenberg (Elbe) . Federal highway 5 , federal highway 191 and federal highway 195 run through these cities . None of these cities can be reached directly and only the state road 135, which becomes the L 8 on the Mecklenburg border, connects Steesow with Lenzen (Elbe) and Grabow. Steesow is also connected to Rambow, a district of Lenzen, via a commercial road. The L 13 runs through Rambow and joins the B 5 and connects Lenzen with Karstädt (Prignitz) .

The Berlin – Hamburg railway line runs parallel to the B 5 and can be used from Ludwigslust, 20 km away, from Grabow, 13 km away, or Karstädt, 13 km away.
