Honors

The municipality of Tragarth, located in the Electorate of Saxony, planted Italian poplars at their own expense in the spring of 1800 for the "pleasure" of the Prussian district president on the path that led from the village to the stone dam in front of the manor. Vangerow undertook in writing that he would not make any claims on these poplars as community property. In 1805 Vangerow sold this manor in Tragarth to Johann Joseph Ackermann.
