history

Even before the Thirty Years' War , two thirds of Schwarzin (also Schwartzin) were fiefdoms from Podewils in Krangen and one third from Glasenapp in Pollnow. In the 18th century the entire village was owned by the von Podewils family. After the collapse of the property of the Counts of Podewils, Johann Martin Knop acquired the site with an area of ​​1103 hectares, including the Johannesruh and Waldvorwerk Vorwerk . In 1893/94 Max Reinhold Gilbert Glagau bought the estate . After that there were numerous owner families until finally Hans Ulrich von Brockhusen was the last owner before 1945.

In 1818 there were 79 inhabitants in Schwarzin. Their number rose to 189 by 1905 and was 267 in 1939. Schwarzin had a single-class school before 1945, the building of which was in the middle of the village on the road to Wendisch Buckow .

Before 1945 Schwarzin belonged to the registry office Wendisch Buckow and to the district court area Pollnow in the district of Schlawe i. Pom. in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania .

After the end of the Second World War and the occupation by the Red Army , the place came under Polish administration. In 1946/47 the last Germans left the place that had taken on the Polish name Świerczyna and belonged to the urban and rural municipality Polanów in the Koszaliński Powiat of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship ( Köslin Voivodeship until 1998 ).

church

The predominantly Protestant population until 1945 was incorporated into the parish of Pollnow in the church district of Schlawe of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . After that, the place remained part of the Parish Polanów, now in the Deanery Polanów in the Diocese of Köslin-Kolberg of the Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant residents are now included in the parish Koszalin (Köslin) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
