| | Stavenow, a name from a district called Prignitz |
 | | The Prignitz as border area of the Wends to the Carolingian Empire................................................................................. |
| | The Prignitz was at that time a softly undulated landscape, which, to a large extent, was covered with dense, almost impassable primeval forests and bogs and whose landscape-structure was formed in glacial times. |
| | The remaining Slavic population that was still living in settlements across the whole Prignitz area, was integrated into the new population, as they were farmers and therefore they were badly needed for the nutrition and for services, which had to be renderd to the landowners. |
