Manor House Federow
Federow lies at the edge of the Müritz National Park, south-east of Waren-Müritz. The village was first mentioned in 1289.
The estate was under the ownership of the Tamme family and the Hennecke von Holstein of Ankershagen in the 15th century. The von Oldenburg family purchased a part of the estate through the takeover of rights and ownership from Sibrandt von Secheln at the end of the 17th century. The von Oldenburg family acquired the whole area through further purchases starting in 1701 until the Chamberlain Georg Ludwig von Oertzen took over the estate in 1769. The bailiff Lembke was his legal successor in 1820. The von Maltzan family purchased the estate in 1862, and in 1880 it came to the Advocate Wilhelm Heinrich Friedrich Krull. Between 1885 up to 1908 Federow served the Grand Ducal Ministry of Interior as a branch of the county workhouse Güstrow. Georg Asselborn was named as the owner in 1924 and Kurt Herrmann in 1938 until its expropriation in 1945. The manor house which had been built in the mid-19th century and later altered many times was mainly used for residential purposes after World War II.
A co-op shop provided the villagers with the essentials. After the extensive renovation of the building in 1990 a hotel with restaurant was set up here.
To the north of the manor house is situated the dilapidated former distillery. Alcohol was distilled here from grain and potatoes.
In Federow, the "Radio Play Church" invites visitors to take a seat on simple wooden benches and listen to the radio plays.
The village church, which was already mentioned during the 13th century, stood unused for a long time until this unusual idea saved it from impending decay.
