Strohkirchen
Strohkirchen is a municipality in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district of the German state Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Administratively it is part of the collective municipality of Amt Hagenow-Land.
Strohkirchen lies roughly 20 kilometers south of the state capital Schwerin and around seven kilometers east of Hagenow, the seat of its collective municipality (Hagenow-Land). It lies in a geographical region of Mecklenburg known as the Griese Gegend. The municipality consists of a single settlement built along the Strohkirchner Bach.
The municipality is bordered by Moraas to the north, Rastow to the northeast, Picher to the east and south, Bresegard bei Picher to the southwest, and Kuhstorf to the west.
Strohkirchen lies on the Berlin–Hamburg Railway, although its small station is only serviced by the RB14 line of ODEG.
Strohkirchen has since its establishment been a linear settlement in the German style (Straßendorf) and has always been characterized by agriculture, only settling small service and crafts companies in the village after German reunification.
According to a local legend the village gained its name from a thieving miller, named Strohkark, who resided in the village. This miller, who lived in a large castle-like mill on the Jasnitz, would worry and scare the surrounding villages with his thieving antics, storing these stolen riches in his castle. One day, the villagers decided to stop him but before they could catch him, Strohkark buried his treasures and fled to the other side of the Elbe, never to be seen again. It is unknown if this is the actual origin of the village's name, but it is considered to be possible.
As of the 2022 census, Strohkirchen had a population of 310, thereof 163 male and 148 female. Two people in the municipality have a non-German citizenship and five people in the municipality were born outside of Germany.
The majority of the municipality's population, 83% (258 people) are irreligious or do not belong to a state-recognized confession. 13.8% (43 people) belong to the Evangelical Church in Germany and 3.2% (10 people) belong to the Roman Catholic Church in Germany.
