The nearby Thurauer Berg offers great views of the surrounding landscape. There you will also find the 90 meter high Thurauer tower, the former Aufklärungsturm B of the Bundeswehr, which makes the location of several kilometers away localizable. The Luftwaffe and Army soldiers working on the tower were housed in the Neu Tramm barracks.The name Thurau goes back to the Polabian expression for aurochs.
On July 1, 1972 Thurau was incorporated into the community Woltersdorf.Source:
