history

Vellin Church
Altar of the Church of Vellin

Vellin (another form of the name Vellien ) was an old von Natzmersches fiefdom . 1628 Claus von Natzmer is named with a possession of 12½ hooves . Parts also belonged to the Krangen fiefdom for a time, because in 1652 and later Gerd von Podewils sold his shares to Dubschlaff von Natzmer .

Around 1780 the village had 1 farm , 1 grain and cutting mill , 1 preacher, 1 sexton, 7 farmers, 1 blacksmith. In 1857 the manor belonged to the Tressler family , from whom it was taken over by the Clavé-Bouhaben family , who ceded it to Hugo Lippoldes in 1935 .

In 1818 there were 173 inhabitants in Vellin. Their number rose to 299 in 1885 and was 201 in 1939.

At the beginning of 1945, Red Army troops occupied the place. Some residents were caught on the run and forced to return. There has been a lot of human suffering and destruction in the village. Landowner Lippoldes was in March 1945 with other Vellinern to Russia deported and died six weeks later in a camp near Kopeisk in Siberia . By 1947, all other German residents were also expelled from the town .

Vellin came under the name of Wielin under Polish sovereignty and is today a district of the urban and rural municipality Polanów in the Powiat Koszaliński of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Koszalin Voivodeship ).

Office of Vellin

Before 1945, Vellin formed a separate district with the municipalities of Varbelow (Warblewo) and Sellberg (Stary Żelibórz). He belonged to the district of Schlawe i. Pom. in the immediate vicinity of the Rummelsburg i. Pom. in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania . Officially , the communities belonged to Pollnow-Land, and the district court district was Pollnow.

Protestant church

Until 1945 Vellin was almost without exception Protestant . Before, during and after the Reformation , the place was parish off to Pollnow, then it became an independent branch in the parish of Pollnow and in 1696 received its own preacher. The parish of Vellin, to which Varbelow (Warblewo) and Rochow (Rochowo) also belonged, was in the parish of Rummelsburg of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . It was not until the mid-1930s that Vellin became a branch in the parish of Pollnow again and thus came into the Schlawe parish . In 1940 the parish of Vellin had 448 parishioners. The church patron was the last owner of the Hugo Lippoldes estate .

The few Protestant residents who live in Wielin today are looked after by the parish office in Koszalin ( Köslin ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Catholic Church

The few Roman Catholic residents of Vellin before 1945 belonged to the parish in Pollnow . As well as the churches - in 1945 an independent parish, which, however, was formed in Wielin again Rzeczyca Wielka ( Reetz ) and Sowno ( Old Zowen ) - in the parish Polanów were integrated. It belongs to the Deanery Polanów in the Diocese of Köslin-Kolberg of the Catholic Church in Poland .

Village church

The village church, which dates back to the 17th century, was expropriated after 1945 by the Protestant church Vellin in favor of the Catholic church Wielin. It is located in the middle of the village on a small hill.

The church is a half-timbered building with a roof tower over the west gable. The church is furnished primarily with carvings from the Wilhelminian era. The pulpit is assigned to the side. The galleries are supported by carved pillars and the floor is covered with square tiles. Oak beams up to 50 cm thick were used for the outer framework.

graveyard

The cemetery, which was used until 1945, was leveled and converted into a storage area with holiday apartments.

school

The new solid school building with an integrated teacher's apartment, built at the beginning of the 20th century, was not far from the church. The former school has been sold to private hands and converted into a three-family house. The last German teacher was Eduard Kramer .
