Groß Flotow likely originated as a Slavic settlement.[2] The village is first mentioned in documents from 1418, although its Gothic church buildings date back to the 13th century.[2] Most of the red brick houses were built in the thirties and fifties.[2]
The incumbent district head of Groß Flotow is Ronny Wagenknecht.[2]
