- Archival history:
- The files of the town were stored in the town hall and were transferred after the reunification of Germany into a community archive of the old district Teterow (towns and villages). The files of the old Teterow district were transferred to the Güstrow district archive, the files of the villages went to the offices, the files of the town of Teterow remained, and they have been stored and looked after at the present location since 1998.
