Local history

Lenzen south of the city of Köslin and south of the city of Belgard on a map from 1910

The Pomeranian town of Lenzen - it bordered Persante in the north near the settlement of Wiesenhof (now in Polish: Żabiniec) - was a rich farming village. As a "sovereign" property, it belonged to Belgard Castle until in 1628 the entire area was subordinated to the Princely Office of Belgard. In the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War it came to Colonel Siegfried von Damnitz for a time. The names of the later owners are Gehrke, von Knobelsdorf and Balthasar.

When the estate went bankrupt in 1904, Lenzen was a purely farming village with 43 farms thereafter. There were two brick factories in the village that processed the clay found in the northwest of the municipality. There was also a forge, a wheelwright, a tailor's shop, a bakery, a grocery store and an inn on site.

In 1939 Lenzen had 725 inhabitants. In terms of traffic, the village could be reached via the Belgard - Groß Rambin road and the Rarfin - Belgard small train (stops: Lenzen-Ziegelei and Lenzen-Wiesenhof). The last mayor before 1945 was Fritz Trapp.

At the beginning of March 1945, Red Army troops occupied the place. After the war ended, Poles took over the place; The German population was of them sold . Today's Polish Łęczno is part of the rural municipality of Białogard.

Lenzen registry office

Until 1945 the municipalities of the office Grüssow (Grüssow and Lenzen) and Zarnefanz ( Boissin , Naffin , Ristow and Zarnefanz) belonged to the Lenzen registry office district.

Parish of Lenzen

Lenzen was an old parish village. Grüssow (now Polish: Gruszewo ) also belonged to the parish of Lenzen . The congregation Lenzen formed with the branch communities Zarnefanz ( Czarnowęsy ) with Naffin ( Nawino ) and Boissin ( Byszyno ) with Ristow ( Rzyszczewo the) Parish Lenzen. The parishes actually belonged to Belgard. But because the Belgard pastors did not always get into the villages because of the frequent "rushing floods" of the Persante, a separate pastor was installed in Lenzen since 1574.

Until 1945 the parish Lenzen belonged to the church district Belgard in the ecclesiastical province of Pomerania of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union . In 1940 the parish had a total of 2019 parishioners, of whom 900 belonged to the parish of Lenzen, 570 to the daughter parish of Zarnefanz and 549 to the daughter parish of Boissin.

Today the village belongs to the Parafia ( Parochie ) Koszalin ( Köslin ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Kośiół Ewangelicko-Augsburski (Luterański) w Polsce ( Evangelical Church of Augsburg (Lutheran) Confession in Poland ).
