History

edit

On the northern edge of the village is the stone church, which dates from the 12th century AD.[2]

The grounds of the Kurzzeitpflege am Tulpenbaum former manor house contain one of Germany's largest and oldest specimens of Liriodendron tulipifera, at approx 32 metres (105 ft) in height.[2]

The former municipality included the villages of Badegow and Radepohl. Since 1 January 2011, all three villages are administratively part of the town Crivitz.[2]
