Dutzow, Missouri

Dutzow, Missouri

Dutzow is an unincorporated community in southeastern Warren County, Missouri, United States. It is located on Route 94 about three miles north of Washington in what was referred to as Lake Creek by author Gottfried Duden, whose farm adjoins the early village. It is near the Missouri River and is the oldest German community in the state.

When Duden returned to Germany in 1827, to publish his Report on a Journey to the Western States of North America in 1829, his companion Ludwig Eversmann remained in Missouri to manage Duden's properties, making Eversmann the first permanent German to settle in the area. In 1832, the Berlin Society, a small emigration society purchased land communally. In 1833, the land was transferred to Johann Wilhelm Bock, often referred to as the Baron Von Bock, who platted the Village and announced the sale of lots in March 1834.

By the summer of 1834, many members of the Giessen Emigration Society, led by Friedrich Münch and Paul Follenius, had settled along Lake Creek as well. Both Duden and Münch attracted Germans wanting to settle in Missouri. Thousands emigrated in just a few short years, and by the Civil War, the population of Warren County was one of the most predominately German in the State. For many years, the Duden farm was was considered a mecca to German immigrants, wanting to see what Duden described as a Garden of Eden firsthand in his book.
