history
Surname
The name Teterow comes from the Altpolabischen Tetřev and is a derivation from the Slavic word for black grouse is. Most, however, the grouse given as a name, which is unlikely. It is also possible to derive the name from a personal name. In 1272 the place Thiterow , 1285 Teterowe , 1288 Thitterowe and 1352 also Thetherow is called.
prehistory
The Teterow area was already settled in the Neolithic , from the 6th century BC. Chr. By Germanic tribes. After their extensive withdrawal at the time of the Great Migration, the Slavic Liutizen settled in the area around Lake Teterower from the 6th or 7th century . Teterow was the central place of the Zirzipanen tribe . Their catchment area extended over a number of Burgward districts such as Dargun, Krakow, Sukow and Altkalen. In the 9th century a castle wall was built on the island in Teterower See . The castle served as the seat of a prince and probably as a place of worship and temple. Under the protection of the castle, the settlement on the west bank of the Teterower See developed into a market place.
Contrary to earlier assumptions, the castle in Teterower See had no national significance. Nor was it the seat of the Slavic prince Otimar; this is accepted today at Behren-Lübchin Castle northwest of Gnoien . In disputes between the Slavic tribes and their princes, as well as with German and Danish princes, the area around Teterow was disputed between Danes, Pomeranians and Obodrites . In the 11th and 12th centuries the castle came under Danish rule several times. Ultimately, the Obodritischen lords of Werle asserted themselves as vassals of the Saxon rulers, and the region became part of the Werle rule . A large part of the local population had been destroyed by the wars. In order to develop the country, the Werleschen princes brought German settlers into the country and first founded a farming village ( Budorp ) with a Wendish ( i.e. Slavic) bailiff near the abandoned castle wall island .
City foundation and the Middle Ages
Around 1230, next to the village of Budorp, the new town of Teterow was planned by the Werleschen Herren on the road from Rostock to Malchin on a hill surrounded by mud and water near Lake Teterow. Both German colonists and Wendish citizens lived in the city. Both groups were also in the City Council, which in 1235 probably by Prince Nicholas I of Mecklenburg , the Schwerin city charter was granted, represented. A Wendish knight also represented the sovereign prince's power as Vogt in Teterow . The foundation and the construction of a church also began around 1230.
The city was accessible via two dams that opened the city to the north and south. In front of these dams the highways converged from different directions: in the north the highways from Wokern, Güstrow, Appelhagen, Rostock and Jördenstorf; in the south the Malchiner, Glasower and Plauer Landstrasse. The streets were laid out at right angles and the market place, town hall and church laid out or built on the leveled hilltop. On December 17, 1272, Teterow was first mentioned as an oppidum . (The certificate was exhibited in the local history museum until the Second World War and was lost at the end of the Second World War.) The remaining Slavs who lived on the shores of Lake Teterow settled in the town of Teterow. The current town church of St. Peter and Paul was built around 1270 (choir) and was completed around 1350.
In 1301 Magnus II. ( Bishop of Cammin ) began building the St. Mary's Church in front of the city exit towards Malchin. This church developed into a popular pilgrimage church for Marian pilgrimages . A city wall was built around Teterow, it stretched along today's ring roads. The protection was reinforced by water-filled moats that were fed by the Kleine Peene . The two city gates ( Rostocker and Malchiner Tor ) were built in the 14th century . They each consisted of the main gate, which has been preserved to this day, and an outer gate. A third city gate, probably more of a small gate, was the “Gänsetor” on Warener Straße. This gate was demolished in the 19th century.
The plague broke out in Teterow in the middle of the 14th century . The population decreased from almost 2000 to a few hundred. During this time, witch trials and anti-Jewish riots increased to avert epidemics . In 1357 the Pope imposed the ban on Teterow for reasons that are unclear today. Two years later, the priest of Teterow, Gerhard Vogelsang, succeeded in having the ban lifted through the mediation of the Camminer bishop. As a condition, the St. Juergens Church had to be built in front of the Rostocker Tor. From 1436 Teterow became a state town in Mecklenburg and as such was one of the towns in the Wendish district that were represented in the Mecklenburg state parliaments of the 1523 state estates until 1918 . In 1492 the St. Gertruden Chapel in front of the Malchiner Tor was donated by Mayor Hagen.
From the Reformation to the 19th century
The Reformation began in Teterow around 1525. In 1530, an evangelical service was held in the Teterow parish church for once or twice a month. Faith struggles between Catholic priests and the reformers increased. In 1553 the evangelical clergyman Dietrich Mayer was killed, in 1554 the responsible order was dissolved and three representatives were publicly beheaded on the Teterow market. In 1559, an iconoclasm destroyed most of the works of art (images of saints, relics, altars) in the parish church and St. Mary's Church, which had become particularly rich through the sale of indulgences and pilgrimages. Sermons in Low German were introduced and Protestant worship became the rule. In 1591 the destroyed Marienkirche was torn down.
Before the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) Teterow had about 1,800 inhabitants. During the war, Teterow was plagued several times by scattered armies that devastated the city. There were rapes, kidnappings and murders by the occupiers. In 1632 a major fire destroyed most of the city. The city wall was largely destroyed in the war. The Gertrudenkapelle did not survive the war either. After the end of the war, Teterow only had a population of 300. In many cases, land was illegally appropriated and the peasants, who could no longer provide for themselves economically, were forced into serfdom.
Towards the end of the 17th century the city recovered somewhat. During this time, the city wall and the Malchiner outer gate were repaired again. The Rostock outer gate, however, and the St. Jürgen chapel had to be demolished. Pastor Felix Fiedler founded a foundation to support poor school children. On August 18, 1700, however, there was a second conflagration that almost completely destroyed Teterow in a few hours. After wars and the third big fire in 1722, the city wall was largely destroyed and useless. The impoverished population was allowed to build houses out of the rubble. This is how the Ringstrasse was created in the middle of the 18th century. Many Teterowers were also drafted during the Seven Years' War . Some ended up in Austrian captivity. In the fourth big city fire in 1793, the western part of the city (Köthelsches Viertel) was destroyed.
In the 19th century, Teterow grew beyond its medieval borders. With the rise of industry ( Schevens Maschinenfabrik , Müller Feldbahnen und Waggonfabrik , sugar factory, briquette factory for peat briquettes, Maschinenfabrik Lohff , wire fence factory Moritz Hinzenstern ) and the increase in population, the Rostock suburb in the northwest, the Waren suburb in the south and the Malchiner suburb in the east . The long-time mayor and elder of the carpenter Vollrath Zingelmann shaped Teterow's local politics until the middle of the century, but emigrated to the United States of America after the failure of the bourgeois revolution in Mecklenburg. In 1850 cholera broke out in Teterow . The first elementary school was built in Teterow in 1860, and the volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1868.
1871 to 1945
Under Franz von Pentz, mayor from 1880 to 1908, Teterow experienced a significant economic and cultural boom. Many companies were founded, the imperial post office, two schools, a gym and the municipal hospital were built. In 1882 a war memorial was erected on Wilhelmplatz, Heidbergsallee was laid out (which was later named after von Pentz) and in 1902 the Bismarck Stone (a boulder from the Pampower Feldmark) was erected on Friedrich-Franz-Platz . In 1908 von Pentz had a new cemetery laid out, in which he himself was buried as the first before the complex was completed in the same year.
When the town hall on the market square, built in 1708, no longer met the requirements, it was decided - also under the mayor of Pentz - to build a new one. The old one was torn down in 1908 and a new town hall was inaugurated on November 20, 1910 in the same place . Since May 17, 1914, the Hechtbrunnen , a fountain designed by Wilhelm Wandschneider with the town's landmark, the pike, has been beautifying the market square.
With the outbreak of the First World War , many male residents of Teterow were drafted from August 1914. In the Mecklenburg regiments, they mostly served on the western front. Several hundred Teterowers paid for the war effort with their lives. On the initiative of those who had returned home, the memorial for those who died in the First World War was erected in the Heidberg Mountains in 1927 in place of a lookout tower planned before the war .
In 1930, a grass racing track for motorcycles was inaugurated in the Heidbergen, for which the name Teterower Bergring became established, which finally became official and which still attracts thousands of spectators every year to the mountain ring race on Whitsun. From 1935 the residential estates were built on Appelhäger Weg and Teschower Landstrasse.
As in all of Germany, from 1933 dissidents and Jews were persecuted by the National Socialists in Teterow. On November 9, 1938 , the Teterow synagogue was devastated by SA men . The Jewish community had to pay for the demolition of the destroyed church. During the Second World War , numerous prisoners of war as well as women and men from the countries occupied by Germany had to do forced labor in and around Teterow . The victims of this forced labor are buried in the Soviet Cemetery of Honor.
Numerous soldiers from Teterow were killed in World War II . The city itself survived the war largely undamaged. In early May 1945 the Red Army moved into Teterow. There were mass rapes, the evacuation of men who were still there, and looting. At the end of the war, at least 300, and according to other reports, 600 people committed suicide. On May 2nd, the Kurhaus, which served as an auxiliary hospital and was overcrowded with wounded, burned down. The wounded in the other hospitals could hardly be cared for. Epidemics broke out in the city in the summer. At the end of 1945 23 young people - mostly 15 to 17 years old - were brought to the special camp No. 9 Fünfeichen of the NKVD under " werewolf " accusations , some of them further to Siberia for forced labor. 21 boys returned in 1948.
1945 to 1989
On January 1, 1951, the previously independent communities of Niendorf and Teschow were incorporated.
On July 25, 1952, when the states were dissolved from the eastern part of the former Güstrow district, the northern part of the Waren district and the western part of the former Malchin district, the Teterow district was created . On September 1, 1952, Teterow became a district town, the places Niendorf, Pampow and Teschow were incorporated.
On June 17, 1953 , several hundred demonstrators demanded the release of political prisoners in front of the remand prison, and some were actually released. After the state of emergency was imposed, political demands such as German reunification were voiced. Only Soviet troops stopped the crowd with shots in the evening.
On January 1, 1966, the VEB Apparate- und Maschinenfabrik Teterow was taken over by the Neubrandenburg repair shop by resolution of the GDR Council of Ministers . Mainly armored wheeled vehicles (SPW) were repaired in Teterow. The part of the company had around 800 employees, making it the largest employer in Teterow and the surrounding area.
At the end of the sixties the construction of prefabricated housing estates began in Teterow : 1966–1968 the new building area west and 1972–1975 the residential area east with 420 apartments, school, sports hall, department store and children's facility were built. In 1974 the bypass between Platz des Friedens and Schützenplatz was completed. In 1980 the foundation stone was laid for the north residential area with 450 apartments, a school and a sports hall.
In 1981 floods caused severe damage to roads and buildings after torrential rains.
Starting in 1976 in the "rest home Bergring" the were state security more than 1,000 fighters of the South African African National Congress trained in guerrilla and close combat. Numerous Teterow graduates served in leading positions in the South African armed forces after 1994 .
1989 until today
On October 19, 1989, the first peace prayer took place in the Peter and Paul Church in Teterow . About 500 citizens took part. On February 13, 1990, the City Council moved back into the town hall, which had been used by the Soviet occupation and the People's Police during the GDR era . On May 6, the first democratic local elections after the fall of the Wall took place.
Since October 3, 1990, Teterow has belonged to the newly founded state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the historic city center was thoroughly renovated as part of the urban development funding; the cityscape has improved a lot.
In the course of the merger of the districts of Teterow , Güstrow and Bützow on June 12, 1994, Güstrow became the administrative seat of the new district of Güstrow .

The population development of the city of Teterow reached its historic high in the 1980s with almost 12,000 inhabitants. Since reunification, the population has been declining and has been below 9,000 since 2010.
religion
Traditionally, Christianity , since the introduction of the Reformation, the Evangelical-Lutheran faith, was predominant as a people's church in Mecklenburg . In the late 19th century a Catholic parish was established again in the city. A Jewish community existed in Teterow again since the 18th century after some Jews from Teterow were burned in 1492 in the Sternberg host-molester trial. During the National Socialist era, the Protestant parish split into a parish of the Confessing Church and a parish of German Christians . The congregation of the Confessing Church had to hold its services in the parish hall until 1942 . The Catholic parish was strengthened after 1945 by expellees from Czechoslovakia and Silesia. The socio-politically decreed atheism in the GDR led to the fact that the majority of the population is now without a denomination.
Christianity
The largest Christian churches are the Evangelical Lutheran church (about 1800 church members) and the Catholic church. There are also two free church congregations, the Evangelical Free Church congregation Teterow-Malchin-Dargun ( Baptists ) and the charismatically oriented Free Christian Community Teterow. There is also a New Apostolic parish in Teterow .
Judaism
In 1762 the Jewish community laid out a cemetery in Teterow . The community had up to 120 members. The last burial took place in Teterow's Jewish cemetery in 1932 . The community had already shrunk significantly by this time, as increasing anti-Semitism in the twenties led to the emigration of Jewish Germans to the big cities. When the National Socialists came to power, the official exclusion of Jewish Germans from society began in Teterow as well. From 1805 to 1938 there was a synagogue with a religious school in Grosse Knickhäger Strasse . It was destroyed by SA men during the Night of the Reichspogrom on November 9, 1938 and had to be demolished at the expense of the Jewish community. Two shops owned by Jews were also destroyed on November 10th. The last Jews from Teterow - the brothers Otto and Martin Samuel and their wives - were deported to Theresienstadt on November 19, 1942 . The men died there on April 11, 1943 and January 4, 1944, the women were deported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp on May 16, 1944 and murdered there.
politics
City council
The city council of Teterow was reassembled in the city council election on May 26, 2019 . The diagrams show the election results and the resulting distribution of seats among the individual parties and lists.
mayor
Mayor was from June 6, 1990 to Dr. Reinhard Dettmann (independent). He was elected for the first time in a direct election by the Teterowers on December 9, 2001 for a term of eight years. In the mayoral election in September 2009, Dr. Reinhard Dettmann confirmed in office for a further eight years. His term of office ended on May 31, 2018. He did not run for the 2018 mayoral election.
In the election of the mayor in 2018, the non-party candidate Andreas Lange sat down against the SPD-supported, also non-party Dr. Jürgen Paries through. He took office on June 1, 2018.
coat of arms
The coat of arms was established on April 10, 1858 by Friedrich Franz II , Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and registered under number 57 of the coat of arms of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
Blazon : "In gold, a forward-facing blue pot helmet with two green peacock feather rosettes with gold lugs attached to crossed blue rods, accompanied: on top by a faceted blue star, on both sides by a red paw cross."
The coat of arms was redrawn in 1997.
The Teterow city coat of arms shows on a golden background a forward-facing blue pot helmet with two green peacock feather rosettes with golden lugs attached to crossed blue rods. This shows the coat of arms of Nicholas I as the city's founder and lord. The faceted, six-pointed, blue star that accompanies the coat of arms above and the red paw crosses on the left and right are probably ornaments taken from the seal image. However, it was first handed down as an impression as early as 1353.
In autumn 1943 Teterow was given a newly designed coat of arms by the National Socialist Reich Governor, which, however, lost its validity again after the end of the Second World War. It showed a golden pike curved to the right on a gray background with a silver bell around its neck.
flag
The Teterow city flag is a horizontal tricolor and shows the colors blue, yellow and green. It is hoisted on the town hall on local festivals and is also used by the citizens of the city.

Transport links
The Teterow train station was built in 1864 and the Güstrow – Neubrandenburg railway line was inaugurated on November 14, 1864 , a section of the Hamburg – Stettin connection . On November 5, 1884, another railway was added, which connected Teterow with Gnoien until June 1, 1996 . Today Teterow belongs to the area of the transport association Warnow and is located on the railway line between Neubrandenburg and Güstrow, which is used by regional express trains of the DB . There are direct rail connections to Bützow (there connection to the IC -Relation Hamburg - Rostock - Stralsund ), as well as to Lübeck , Neubrandenburg , Pasewalk , Schwerin , Szczecin and Ueckermünde .
The regional bus traffic is carried out by the Omnibusverkehrsgesellschaft Güstrow (OVG), which maintains a depot in Teterow . Inner-city bus transport is no longer available due to a lack of demand.
Teterow lies at the intersection of federal highways 108 (directions Rostock and Waren) and 104 (directions Schwerin and Neubrandenburg). A state road leads to Krakow am See (L 11), as well as district roads to Neukalen (K 50), Wattmannshagen (K 30) and Ziddorf (K 44). Originally, the main roads ran through Teterow city center. The connecting road built in 1974 between the Platz des Friedens and Schützenplatz relieves the well-preserved medieval town center with its unsuitable streets from through traffic.
The next motorway exit from the A 19 is 18 km away on the B 104 near Vietgest .
Rostock-Laage Airport is 35 km away .
Street names
As elsewhere, main streets in Teterow were named after the places in which they led. In Teterow there was Rostocker Strasse, Malchiner Strasse and Warener Strasse. When the city grew beyond its medieval borders in the 19th century, the new streets were named after members of the Mecklenburg ruling house (Friedrich-Franz-Straße, Johann-Albrecht-Straße), the German Kaiser (Wilhelmplatz) and the “founder of the empire” Otto von Bismarck (Bismarckstrasse) named.
In the era of National Socialism there were the first renaming: The Warener road was to Adolf Hitler road, Wilhelm place to Hindenburgplatz.
After the end of the Third Reich, the street names were "denazified" again. Instead, during the SED dictatorship, as everywhere in the GDR, Teterow's streets were named after leading functionaries of the SED or victims of fascism ;
- The Rostockerstraße became the Wilhelm Pieck -Straße ,
- the Malchiner road to Otto Grotewohl -Straße ,
- the Johann-Albrecht -Straße to Friedrich Engels -Straße ,
- the Warener road to Ernst Thalmann -Straße ,
- the Friedrich-Franz-Straße to Karl Marx -Straße ,
- the von-Moltke-Straße to Rudolf Breitscheid -Straße .
After the fall of the Wall, these streets were usually given their original name again. The Friedrich-Engels-Straße other hand, is now called von-Thünen -Straße and the Karl-Marx-Straße was Niels Stensen -Straße renamed. Erich Weinert Street , built in the GDR era, was named Poggestraße .

Anecdotes and sagas
There are a number of legends about the Teterower, which remind of the pranks of the shield people. Among other things, the Teterowers moved their church, "refreshed" the sovereign from fire engines, hatched a pumpkin as an alleged horse egg or lifted a bull to graze on the city gate.
Teterower Hechtsage
The "Teterower Hecht", which is reminiscent of one of the most famous Teterow shield pranks, is marketed for tourism. In today's best-known version of this so-called “Teterower Hechtsage” , the pike in Teterower See is caught by the shield citizens . Since a visit from the sovereign is to take place in a few weeks and the pike cannot be kept fresh for that long, the shield citizens decide to let it back into the water. In order to find him again, they tie a bell around him and cut a notch in the boat where they let the pike in. However, the search for the pike is more difficult than expected. The pike fountain, inaugurated in Teterow in 1914, is intended to commemorate this pike legend. As a souvenir of the Teterow bourgeois pranks , the pike festival (motto: The pike is still alive ) is celebrated every year on the weekend after Ascension Day in Teterow . The highlight is the theater performance of the most famous Teterow shield pranks.
Blucher's pipe
According to the legend, which appeared from around 1830, Marshal Blücher once visited his relatives incognito in Teschow on Lake Teterower. Due to the danger of fire - at that time Teterow had many very low reed-roofed houses - it was forbidden in Teterow to smoke tobacco pipes without a lid, which Blücher had no idea about and so he innocently smoked his open pipe. A Teterow town soldier noticed this and snatched the pipe from Blücher - without recognizing him. When the mayor of Teterow, Danneel, found out, he was embarrassed and officially invited Blücher to Teterow. He had his daughter give him a tobacco pipe with a silver lid instead of the usual city gate key. Blücher is said to have commented on the handover with the words "Wat futsch is, is futsch" . The pipe was returned to Teterow from the estate of Blucher. However, it is lost today. This anecdote became known through Fritz Reuter , who saw the pipe in the Teterow parish church himself. Today a sculpture of the pipe on the Platz des Friedens commemorates this incident.
