history

Village square with Friedenseiche in Zollchow

Zollchow was first mentioned in a document in 1321 with the spelling Tzelchow . The place name can be derived from the Slavic personal name "Sulech". The place was laid out as a street green village with a village church and manor . Over the course of time, the ownership structure of the Zollchow manor changed frequently; the owners of the village included the von Arnim , von Holtzendorff and von Kerkow families .

On July 1, 1950, Zollchow was incorporated into Röpersdorf . After the GDR district reform in July 1952, the place belonged to the Prenzlau district in the Neubrandenburg district . Since the fall of the Wall and the Brandenburg district reform in 1993, the place has been in the Uckermark district . On December 1, 1997, Röpersdorf merged with the neighboring Sternhagen to form the new municipality of Röpersdorf / Sternhagen , which in turn merged with nine other municipalities on November 1, 2001 to form today's municipality of Nordwestuckermark .
