History & Context

History Bad Saarow, situated on the southern shore of Lake Scharmützel in Brandenburg, Germany, boasts a storied past that intertwines Slavic settlement, Prussian prominence, and 20th-century spa culture. The earliest mentions of the settlement date back to the 12th century, when Sorbian Slavs farmed the fertile floodplains of the River Saar. The name “Saarow” derives from the Slavic root “sără,” meaning marsh or wetland, reflecting the landscape’s waterlogged character before extensive drainage. During the High Middle Ages, German eastward expansion (Ostsiedlung) brought Teutonic farmers, who introduced new agricultural techniques and established village structures centered on a simple wooden church dedicated to Saint Mary.
