History
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Schlewecke was first mentioned in 1147 as Sleueken and in 1180 as Sclivede. The suffix Schle- stems from a Proto-Germanic root *slaihwō and cognates to German Schlehe and English Sloe. The prefix either means "creek" or cognates to English -th, as in "wealth", "strength". Other names were Slevedhe and ' 'Slyofede.[8]
