history
Thürkow was first mentioned in a deed of ownership in 1371 as a feudal estate . Landowners were u. a. the families von Barold (1415–1481), von Zeppelin (1481–1796) and Wilhelm Blohm (1866–1915) from 1890 onwards. The tenant house from around 1890 now houses a day-care center, among other things.
The early Gothic village church dates from the 13th century. Due to the relatively steep gradient of the Thürkower Bach, a small hydroelectric power station was built in 1999 on the site of a former water mill.
Todendorf was first attested in 1304. The manor house in the district is a specialty: Built in 1860 in a classical style, it was sponsored by the Association of German-Japanese Friends of Todendorf e. V. expanded as Schloss Mitsuko into a German-Japanese cultural center, which has been used as an exhibition and event building since 2001. The manor park has the shape of a Japanese grove with stone settings, exotic plants and the Shōkaku Mon (gate of the flying crane). The castle is named after the Japanese wife of the artist Heinrich Johann Radeloff, who has lived in Kyōto since 1964 : the "light-bringing".
The railway embankment-like Schwetziner Os runs near Todendorf , an almost 35 km long mountain range towards the north, which reflects the crevasse network of the inland ice .
