History
Müllrose, known in Polish as Miłoradz, is located in the Lubusz Land, a territory which formed part of Poland since its establishment in the mid-10th century. In the 13th century, it was annexed by the Margraviate of Brandenburg, and from 1373 to 1415 it was part of the Bohemian (Czech) Crown. From 1815 to 1947, Müllrose was part of the Prussian Province of Brandenburg.

After World War II, Müllrose was incorporated into the State of Brandenburg from 1947 to 1952 and the Bezirk Frankfurt of East Germany from 1952 to 1990. Since 1990 Müllrose is again part of Brandenburg.
