history

The barrows and stone barrows are among the significant early traces of settlement around Wardow. Mecklenburg's oldest trade route, the Via Regia , ran along here 1000 years ago. It was used by both Slavic and Arab traders. At that time Polchow was a rest stop, while Wardow had a protective hill fort. The earthwork of this castle wall is still preserved.

Wardow was first mentioned in a document in 1270. Landowners were u. a. the families Graf von Bassewitz (from 1728), von Heyden-Linden , Mierendorff (from 1852) and von Ammon. In 1934 the estate was relocated. The neo-Gothic , two-storey manor house (manor house) in Tudor style dates from 1840. It was greatly simplified in 1970 and has been renovated since 2008.

The landscape park of the Wardow manor follows the early medieval ramparts. The neo-Gothic manor house from the 19th century was used as a school until the 2000s and is currently being renovated.

In 1788 a mill was built. The now still existing Erdholländermühle, which was in operation until 1967, dates from 1891. Since 1798 there was also a knightly school in the village. From 1990, with the construction of new homes, Wardow's townscape has changed significantly.

Old Kätwin was first mentioned in 1238.

Groß Ridsenow was first mentioned in 1304. The baroque half-timbered manor house was built for the von Wendhausen family around 1776, who had owned the property from 1724, initially as a pledge. From 1783 frequent changes of ownership, most recently from 1912 to around 1930 Rittmeister a. D. Paul Mierendorff. In 1938 the estate with a size of 837.5 hectares was settled by the "Ostland" settlement company. The manor house and park are under monument protection. The now private manor house is recommended for an emergency backup program.

In the 1930s the place was settled by farmers from the Black Forest, East Friesland and Holstein: There is a bell tower in the village, whose bell was stolen. The church burned down in the Thirty Years War . The manor house dates from 1776.

Kobrow is first found in the annals in 1346. Landowners included the von Vieregge (1741–1755), von Gundlach (1760–1784), von Genzkow (1796–1804), Hundt (1804–1825) and von Bülow (1859–1930) families . Lieutenant Colonel Ernst August Wilhelm von Bülow had the Kobrow manor house built in 1860. The estate was settled in 1937 for 44 settlers.

Spotendorf is one of the old settlement areas. In terms of location, it also has one of the most beautiful manors in the Güstrow district. In 1284 Heinrich Frese owned the estate, which he left to the city of Rostock in 1286. The manor house was built around 1870 with a park facing north. Until 1945 it was owned by Albrecht Wendhausen , who was involved in the Kapp Putsch during the Weimar Republic . A beautiful barn is still preserved.

Teschow: The estate was owned by the Levetzow (noble family) (from 1776), Oberamtmann Siebmann (from 1823), Bencard (from 1837), the Oertzen (noble family) (from 1842), the Gadow (noble family) (from 1870), Otto Glantz and Erben (from 1892) and Karl Rehm (from 1914). The manor house is privately owned.

Polchow manor

Polchow was first mentioned in a document in 1216. At that time, the Dargun monastery received the Polchow estate from Casimir , Duke of Pomerania. The monastery also received the right of patronage over the Polchower Church from Bishop Konrad von Cammin. During the Reformation, around 1552, the monastery was dissolved. Polchow passed into ducal possession. In 1613 the place became a knightly estate. It was given to Jürgen von Moltke as a feudal estate . In 1631 the Moltkes were deprived of the estate because of their services for Wallenstein and it was given to the Swedish General Acke von Tott , then Colonel James Ramsey . In 1653 the Moltkes got the property back. In 1728 Polchow was sold for 19,666 thalers to Count Henning Friedrich von Bassewitz and from 1748 to 1750 the Neu Polchow farm was laid out as a subsidiary property of Groß Ridsenow by the Baron von Wendhausen .

A church from the 13th century was demolished in 1888 due to dilapidation and a new church was built by 1891. The thousand-year-old summer linden tree stands in the cemetery by the church. It was declared a natural monument in 1937 and is the oldest linden tree in Mecklenburg.

Polchow Manor was built between 1904 and 1907. In its place stood a previous building that Wilhelm von Lowtzow , whose parents bought the property in 1893, had demolished. From 1934 to 1945 the estate was owned by the Cottbus cloth manufacturer Fritz Loll.

The manor house was then a refugee camp and then a social institution. The building, which was privatized in 2002, was converted into holiday apartments.
