Here in the middle of the village there is a very interesting information board that describes how Mechow came to the British Zone through an area swap.
In the Mecklenburg State Calendar of 1926, the village Mechow with 44 inhabitants and the Gutgemeinde Hof Mechow with 143 inhabitants are listed under Mechow.
Then came the war and the division of Germany: Mechow, as part of an area swap in 1945, together with Bäk, Römnitz and Ziethen, moved from the Soviet occupation zone to the British one, thus extending the historical range from Mecklenburg-Strelitz to Schleswig-Holstein.

A Regiomat offers eggs, potatoes and drinks and a metallic bird stands guard at the entrance. 😉
