history
The village, called Klein Schwirsen until 1945, was divided into a rural community and an estate district until 1928 . Both parts were incorporated into the newly established district of Groß Schwirsen (now in Polish: Świerzno) in 1874, which was part of the Rummelsburg i. Pom. in the administrative district of Köslin belonged to the Prussian province of Pomerania . In 1910 there were 99 inhabitants in the rural community of Klein Schwirsen and 179 in the Klein Schwirsen manor district. On September 30, 1928, the Klein Schwirsen manor district was incorporated into the rural community of the same name.
Klein Schwirsen was owned by the von Lettow-Vorbeck family for centuries , then experienced changing owners and in 1928 came into the possession of Richard Mecke , the last landlord at Klein Schwirsen. In 1938 the estate was about 810 hectares, with a large distillery and fish farm.
Klein Schwirsen had 288 inhabitants in 1933 and 246 in 1939.
As a result of the Second World War , Klein Schwirsen came to Poland and was given the Polish name "Świerzenko". Today the village is a place within the urban and rural community (Gmina) Miastko (Rummelsburg) in the powiat Bytowski of the Pomeranian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Slupsk Voivodeship ).
