Dersekow Village Church

Dersekow was first mentioned in 1219 as “Dirscowe” in a document from Duke Casimir II, when he donated the place to the Eldena Monastery.
The Slavic founding name is interpreted as “owner” or “tree”.
Dersekow remained at the Hilda-Eldena monastery until the Reformation and was then handed over to the University of Greifswald with the decision of the dukes. And it stayed that way for centuries. The agricultural area was divided into four leasehold farms, plus smaller pieces for the jug, the mill and some Büdner, as well as church land.In 1865 Dersekow had 416 residents in 86 families, there was 1 church, 1 school, 39 residential and 55 farm buildings, as well as 3 factory buildings (1 watermill and 2 windmills).
The Dersekow Church is a stone church from the second half of the 13th century.
