history

Village church (Protestant until 1945)

The village was probably built between 1050 and 1138, but the first documentary mention can only be found for the year 1410.

In 1910 there were 601 people in the parish and in the Labuhn manor district. The total number of inhabitants in 1933 was 555, in 1939 it was 567 and in today's Łebunia it rose to 666.

In 1945 Labuhn was a village in Lauenburg in Pomerania in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania . The village was the seat of a registry office , which was also responsible for Zewitz (today Cewice in Polish). Conversely, Zewitz was the seat and eponymous place of an administrative district to which Labuhn was also assigned.

At that time the villages of Boor and Wassermühle still belonged to the municipality of Labuhn .

Towards the end of the Second World War , the Red Army occupied the region in the spring of 1945 . Soon afterwards Labuhn was placed under Polish administration together with the whole of Western Pomerania . Subsequently, the immigration of Polish civilians began in the village. Labuhn received the Polish place name Łebunia . In the following time Labuhn's old inhabitants were expelled .

Today's Łebunia is a district of Gmina Cewice ( Zewitz ) in the powiat Lęborski ( Lauenburg district ) in the Pomeranian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Stolp Voivodeship ).

Parish / Parish

Łebunia is an old church village with - since the Reformation - predominantly Protestant population. The few Catholic church members belonged to the parish of Lauenburg (now Lębork in Polish) before 1945 .

Labuhn was once a branch church in the Protestant parish of Buckowin (Bukowina), but was independent until 1945 as a separate parish in the parish of Lauenburg in the eastern district of the church province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . Until 1901 it comprised 14 localities, when then seven villages were spun off to a separate parish district Krampkewitz (Krępkowice).

Until 1945, the province boundary between ran through the Parish Labuhn Pomerania and West Prussia , wherein the localities Labuhn, Zewitz (Cewice) Wussow (Osowo Lęborskie), chapel community large Massow (Maszewo Lęborskie) and Poppow (Popowo) in Pomerania, the villages Occalitz ( Okalice) and Werder (Zakrzewo) were already in West Prussia.

In 1940 there were 2100 parishioners in the parish of Labuhn.

After 1945, Łebunia - now a Catholic - became a parish seat, and the church was given the name of Archangel Michael ("Kościół Świętego Michała Archanioła" - Michaelis Church ).

The parish of Łebunia is incorporated into the Deanery of Sierakowice ( Sierakowitz ) in the Pelplin diocese of the Catholic Church in Poland . It includes the villages of Bukowina ( Buckowin , as a branch church), Okalice ( Occalitz ), Osowo Lęborskie ( Wussow ), Osowiec and Malczyce ( Henriettenthal ).
