The Gützkow town hall was built and inaugurated in 1872 after decades of dispute. The previous building was built in 1650 as a half-timbered building, survived the town fire reasonably well, but according to the magistrate's reports by 1850 it was so dilapidated that parts of the building were already closed off. Preparations for a new building had been underway since 1861, and special taxes were levied on craftsmen and tradespeople in Gützkow, but there was still not enough money for a long time. This was also the reason why the citizens (town council) prevented the decision to build it until 1871. Before the new building could be built, which was then virtually forced by the government in Stralsund, the old town hall and the fire station next to it had to be demolished due to a lack of building sites.

A bridge takes you over the Peene here. There are various theories about where the river's name comes from. One says that the name comes from the Slavic word Pěna, which means "foam". Whatever the case, the Peene originates from several source rivers, all of which have Peene in their name.
