Dutzow

Dutzow is an unincorporated community in southeastern Warren County, Missouri, United States.[1] It is located on Route 94, approximately three miles north of Washington. Located near the Missouri River, it is one of the oldest German communities in the state.[2]

The Berlin Society established a settlement at present-day Dutzow in the 1830s.[3] For this reason, it is often considered a "Latin Settlement". A post office called Dutzow has been in operation since 1869.[4] According to tradition, the community was named after Dutzow in northeast Germany, the ancestral home of one of the first settlers, Johann Wilhelm Bock.[3][5]

Located along the Katy Trail, Dutzow sees considerable tourism each year. It is also the home of Blumenhof Vineyard & Winery. Another tourism draw is the Saint Vincent de Paul Church, constructed in 1874.[6]
