Storkow

Storkow is a town in the Oder-Spree district surrounded by multiple lakes within the Dahme-Heideseen area. The municipality sits across a landscape of water and woodland that borders the Spreewald biosphere reserve.

The town received its first official mention in 1209 from Emperor Otto IV, ranking it among Brandenburg's oldest settlements. Since that early period, it has remained a focal point in the region.

The November celebration called Storkow Leuchtet brings residents together with lantern processions and live music performances. This gathering shapes community life and creates a space where locals and visitors connect.

The central railway station connects the town to nearby cities through regular regional trains. The surrounding lake landscape is accessible by boat, offering an alternative way to explore the area.

The town's castle was rebuilt after a fire in 1978 and issued its own postage stamps in 1946. These stamps were sold to raise funds for fascism victims and remain collector's items today.
