Streganz is a typical circular village with preserved fieldstone buildings and an old tree population on the village green.
Archaeological finds show that Streganz was founded around 1100 at the earliest. There was a Bronze Age settlement, but after that the Streganz area was uninhabited for more than a thousand years. The first settlers were a family called Stregan, after whom the place was named. The descendants' names changed over the next few centuries to Strenga and then to Strenge.
The core of the settlement was the village meadow with the farms that were under the jurisdiction of the Storkow office. In 1514, a manor was added as a fief, which was managed by farmers and cottagers who lived on the village street. A manor house was not built until 1745. The inhabitants of the village were under the jurisdiction of their respective lords, i.e. the Storkow office or the lord of the manor.
It was only after 1811 that the residents were able to purchase the farms as property in exchange for a cash payment. The purchase price was usually ten times the value of the annual dues to the employer. In 1840, almost all of the buildings in the village were made of timber-framed wood, including the old manor house. Only on the Lehnschulzenhof, Dorfaue 20, were there two stone buildings. The Lehnschulze was the "mayor" of the Storkow district.
After one of the Silesian Wars between 1740 and 1763, a peace oak was planted on the Dorfaue, today an impressive tree in good condition.
The layout of the individual plots on the Dorfaue and Dorfstraße has been preserved over the centuries, only the buildings have been gradually renovated. Streganz has changed very little to this day.
