[edit] History
The town of Storkow was first mentioned in 1209 by Otto IV and is one of the oldest towns in Brandenburg. Originally part of Lower Lusatia, it was presented as a gift to the margraves of Brandenburg by King Ferdinand I of Bohemia together with neighbouring Beeskow. Since then it has remained part of Brandenburg.
