history

In 1180, Bishop Konrad I von Cammin gave the Kolbatz monastery a tithe from the village called Solow at the time . In a confirmation of ownership from Pope Gregory VIII for the Kolbatz monastery from 1187, the village of Zelow is mentioned, in a document from the Pomeranian nobleman Wartislaw from 1218/1228 it appears as Zeloue in a border description, then again in a confirmation of ownership from Bishop Konrad III. von Cammin for the Kolbatz Monastery from 1236 as Zelow .

In 1268 the Pomeranian Duke Barnim I sold the village to the Kolbatz monastery. At that time, the monks and the Seelow fishermen operated jointly on the Madüsee.

Until 1945, the community of Seelow with the communities of Heidchen , Hofdamm , Kolbatz and Neumark belonged to the Kolbatz district in the Greifenhagen district of the Prussian province of Pomerania . The registry office was in Belkow. Besides Seelow, there were no named places to live in the community.

As a result of the Second World War , Seelow came to Poland under the name Żelewo .

church

Village church

The village church is one of the oldest Pomeranian half-timbered churches with only a few bars and stands from the 17th century. Until 1945 it was a Protestant church. Then it was expropriated in favor of the Catholic Church and is now called Kościół Matki Boskiej Nieustającej Pomocy .

Evangelical parish until 1945

Formerly a branch Municipality of Neumark was Seelow to 1945 - as well Reckow a daughter church in the Protestant parish Belkow (Bielkowo) and belonged to the parish of Kolbatz in West district the ecclesiastical province of Pomerania of the Prussian Union of churches . In 1940 the village numbered 261 out of 780 parishioners in the Belkow parish.

Catholic parish after 1945

Since 1945, Żelewo has been a subsidiary of the parish Kołbacz in the Kołbacz deanery in the Archdiocese of Stettin-Cammin of the Catholic Church in Poland .

"Eselslinde"

Next to the church stood the famous "Heilige Linde", better known as "Eselslinde", a natural, centuries-old tree that sprawls across the branches until 1944. Although she had survived many storms and catastrophes, the forces of nature put an end to her. It owes its name to the legend after the Cistercian monks from the Kolbatz monastery , who read Holy Mass in Seelow and tied their donkeys to the linden tree.
