history

The history of the village of Schwessin began with a jug that Dinnies Litze built in 1592. Gradually, settlers built farms. In 1598 the Roggenbuck family received permission to build a church and employ a preacher. In 1717 there were six farmers and eight half-farmers in Schwessin, at the end of the 18th century there were a total of 14 farmers, two half-farmers and four kossas . There was also a water mill, preacher, sexton, jug, and blacksmith shop at the time. The Vorwerke Kornburg (now in Polish: Chlebowo) and Jacobshausen (Zadry) were also built.

In 1809 the Schwessin estate was dismantled three kilometers further northeast in Neu Schwessin (Świeszynko). The Niederhof farm and the Valentinshof ( Kominki ) hereditary lease were created . In 1928 Jacobshausen came to the municipality of Dulzig (Dolsko) as part of the reorganization of the municipality.

The desert Feldmark Schwessin was owned by Massow . In 1655, Hans Vergin and several members of the Roggenbuck family were named as Schwessin's owners. In the 18th century, the von Puttkamer family became the owners. The last owner before 1945 was Johannes Geiß from Pollnow (Polanów).

In 1812 there were 267 inhabitants registered in Schwessin. Their number rose to 586 by 1871, was 567 in 1905 and dropped to 507 by 1939.

Until 1945, Schwessin was a village in the Rummelsburg i. Pom. in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania . With the municipalities of Dulzig (today Polish: Dolsko), Gloddow (Głodowo), Kremerbruch (Kramarzyny), Reinwasser (Piaszczyna) and Waldow (Wałdowo), Schwessin belonged to the administrative district of pure water.

Since 1945, the place now called Świeszyno has been part of the Gmina (urban and rural community) Miastko ( Rummelsburg ) in the Powiat Bytowski ( Bütow district ) in the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship ( Stolp Voivodeship until 1998 ). There are now 213 inhabitants.

church

Village church

The Schwessiner church was built in 1789/1790. Only the tower and the pulpit are taken from the earlier church, which was built in the 16th century. The church was taken over by the Catholic Church in 1945 and is now called Kościół Matki Boskiej Fatimskiej ( Mother of God of Fatima ).

Parish

Before 1945, the majority of the Swessian population was of Protestant denomination. The place was the parish seat of a large parish , to which Neu Schwessin (today in Polish: Świeszynko), Kornburg (Chlebowo) and Jacobshausen (Zadry) belonged until 1945, but until 1885 also the West Prussian towns of Groß Peterkau (Pietrzykowo) and Heidemühl (Borowy) Młyn), until 1896 also Darsen (Dżwierzno).

The parish then belonged to the parish of Rummelsburg (Miastko) in the eastern district of the church province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . In 1940 it had 626 parishioners, and the church patronage was held by the New Schwessiner landowner Johannes Geiß .

Due to the low number of parishioners, the Schwessiner pastor's post was no longer filled by Pastor Gustav Adamy after more than 30 years in office . Schwessin became a branch church of Rummelsburg - parish east. The last German evangelical clergyman was Pastor Arno Wichmann .

Since 1945 the population of Świeszyno has been almost exclusively Catholic . The parish is still a branch church of the now Parafia pw.Najświętszej Maryi Panny Wspomożenia Wiernych called parish Miastko . It is located in the Miastko deanery in the Köslin-Kolberg diocese of the Catholic Church in Poland .

Evangelical church members living here are looked after by the parish office of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland in Słupsk ( Stolp ) within the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland . The next branch church is in Wołcza Wielka ( Groß Volz ).
