history

The village of Woddow emerged as a farming village in the course of the eastern colonization during the 12th century and was first mentioned in documents in 1416, according to other sources not until 1437. The great stone graves of Wollschow found north of the location indicate that the location was settled into the Iron Age . The place name means "place on the water", based on the location in the valley of the Randow. At the time it was first mentioned, Woddow belonged to the von Lindstedt family , after which ownership changed frequently until the place came to von Buch zu Löcknitz in 1471. Woddow was then part of the Löcknitz office in the Kurmark .

Shortly before the start of the Thirty Years' War , 14 farmers and seven kossas lived in the village . Woddow was badly hit in the Thirty Years' War, leaving only two farmers and two kossas of the original population. In 1662 the building of a school began. In 1671 Woddow was spun off from the office of Löcknitz and came to the Mark Brandenburg . In order to promote the development of the villages destroyed in the war and to prevent the threatened depopulation of the areas, Huguenots were also settled in Woddow. In the course of further history Woddow came to the aristocratic von Arnim family, who lived in the region , until they sold the place to an Otto von Birkenstedt in 1932.

Since Woddow was in the main battle line Randowtal, which was very hotly contested in the last days of the Second World War , the place was badly damaged. Most of the inhabitants fled to the west, on April 26, 1945 the place was taken by the Red Army . In early May 1945, most of the residents returned to the almost completely destroyed village. During the land reform after the end of the war, landowners von Birkenstedt were expropriated and the land was divided among 52 new farmers in the area. On October 8, 1945, school lessons were resumed. In 1952 the agricultural production cooperative " Karl Marx " was founded, but it was dissolved again the following year. During the GDR district reform in 1952, the Woddow community was assigned to the Pasewalk district in the Neubrandenburg district. On April 1, 1952, the LPG type III "Young Guard" was founded, which in 1957 already had 84 members. In August 1978 the LPG in Woddow merged with the LPGs from Bagemühl, Battin, Grünberg and Trampe to form a cooperative plant production department .

After the fall of the Wall , Woddow initially belonged to the Pasewalk district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, before the community was reclassified to the Prenzlau district in Brandenburg on August 1, 1992 following a referendum . Since the Brandenburg district reform in 1993, Woddow has been in the Uckermark district , where the municipality joined the Brüssow office . Shortly after the fall of the Wall, the school and day-care center in Woddow were closed, and the local children have been going to school in Brüssow ever since. In 1994 Woddow was connected to the Bagemühl municipality's drinking water pipeline. On December 31, 2001, Woddow was incorporated into Brüssow.
