... First mentioned in a document in 1194, the community originally belonged to the Lauenburg region. On November 13, 1945, the "Barber-Lyaschenko Agreement" was signed, which reorganized the border in the Schaalsee region. With that Dechow came into the Soviet occupation zone and became Mecklenburg. German-German history, you can experience it first hand in Dechow.

Dechow is nestled in a landscape of hedges rich in forests and lakes, not far from the state border with Schleswig-Holstein on the Röggeliner See, which connects to the Schaalsee chain to the north. The rural charm of the small village is characterized by its old brick and thatched half-timbered houses with the beautiful gardens. From the bathing jetty of the idyllic natural bathing area, you can see the white-tailed eagle circling and hunting. The call of the cranes can be heard from afar, as well as the clatter of the storks and the melancholy hoot of the fire-bellied toad.

An old tower hill lined with trees indicates the times of the robber barons.

In the former country inn there is a historic hall with guest rooms in which high-quality cultural events, the "Kulturtage Dechow", are regularly offered. Dechow's volunteer fire department is also located in the building.

Connected to the long-distance cycle route Hamburg - Rügen and the Mönch-Ernestus hiking route, Dechow relies on gentle tourism and offers some holiday apartments.

The first mentioned in 1194 place until 1945 was lauenburgisch. By corrections to the border between the British and Soviet occupation zones (Barber-Ljaschchenko agreement in November 1945) came Dechow together with large and small Thurow (today districts of the community Roggendorf) to Mecklenburg. The former Dechower district Lankow was so close to the inner German border that he stood in the way of the construction of the border security facilities of the GDR side and was destroyed in 1976. Only Lake Lankow, the forest area Lankower Forst and a memorial stone erected in 2009 are reminiscent of the former village.

The municipality is managed by the Office Rehna based in the city of the same name.

Dechow is one of the many pretty villages between Ratzeburg and Gadebusch. Here you can also see farmhouses of different eras. From Fachwerklehmputz, a half-timbered, brick houses and thatched half-timbered houses lined with bricks. If you go through it, just take a look to the right and left. Unfortunately the stork nest was not occupied. The drought could be responsible.

Dechow is a very beautiful village. Everything is well looked after, not just the public streets and squares, but also every property and every house for itself. It is not for nothing that it has already been named "Most Beautiful Village" several times. In many houses you can find a QR code in front of the house and with the help of this code you can find something about the history of the house on the Internet. The center of the place is the parish hall. Many events take place here, and I've often seen youth groups stay overnight.

The village is one of those places that changed from the English to the Soviet occupation zone in November 1945. The basis was the Barber-Lyatschenko Agreement of November 13, 1945 between the two occupying powers.
