history

Zurow was a Slavic village and then a medieval church village . The name goes back to the Slavic word zurowy , the name for a type of blueberry. The Gothic village church dates from the end of the 14th century. The individual property was first mentioned in 1303.

Until it was expropriated without compensation on the basis of the ordinance on land reform of September 5, 1945, the knightly estate Zurow was owned for 20 years by the printing company owner and publisher Wilhelm Girardet , who from 1924 to 1945 undertook a series of measures to fundamentally modernize the company and its facilities Had initiated an increase in performance (melioration, power supply, afforestation Schmiedeberg, water pipeline from Weissensee to supply the manor house and village, sewer system, establishment of modern workshops). In 1945 around 70 settlers were allocated and transferred partial areas of less than 10 hectares per settlement area. From 1952 the settlers (some only under massive pressure) contributed their land to the newly founded LPG "Progress". This was later merged with four other production cooperatives and businesses in the neighborhood and finally comprised 5,000 hectares of usable space, initially with a focus on plant and animal production. As part of the ordered specialization, animal production was outsourced. Extensive stables for industrially oriented factory farming (200 dairy cows, 2 × 5,000 pigs / year) were built. This branch of the economy collapsed soon after German unification and the stables fell into disrepair.

During the GDR era, there was a holiday camp in Nakenstorf with bungalow buildings in which French children could also relax.
