Dutzow, Missouri

Dutzow is an Unincorporated community in Warren County (Missouri, USA) on Route 94, three miles north of the city of Washington, Missouri. Dutzow located in close proximity to the Missouri River. It is the oldest German town in the U.S. state of Missouri.

The German doctor Gottfried Duden (1785-1855), who had emigrated to America in 1824 and had acquired a farm sixty English miles west of St. Louis, near the confluence of the Missouri River and Mississippi River, founded the first German settlement in Missouri. However, it was not until 1832 by the German Baron Johann Wilhelm von Bock the name Dutzow, named after the village Dutzow ( today part of Kneese ) in Mecklenburg, where Bock had a farm.

1834 were Friedrich Münch and Paul Follen, the founder of the Giessen Emigration Society, down here. Friedrich Münch twisted later to nearby Augusta, where he founded a winery with his brother George.
