Local history

Buchhorst is a young village and only emerged during the reign of Frederick the Great . The village got its name after a hill of the same name, which was in the break and was overgrown with beeches.

Buchhorst was initially a Vorwerk for the Belgard domain estate. It was sold to private property and became a manor . In 1841 the owner at the time, Alexander von Dassel, sold small plots of land to "little people" in the surrounding villages and then moved to Gut Schinz . The main parcel with the large manor house was acquired by Christian Waskow, whose family inherited the business over several generations until 1945.

In 1842 Buchhorst had 324 inhabitants and had grown considerably compared to the time of the manor. In 1939, the 301.5 hectare town had 209 inhabitants, the vast majority of whom worked in agriculture and forestry.

Until 1945 Buchhorst was in the district of Belgard (Persante) and belonged to the administrative district of Kösternitz and the registry office district of Roggow . The competent district court was in Belgard . The last incumbents were Mayor Paul Behling, Mayor Albert Münchow and the registrar Paul Zülow. The Redliner Oberlandjäger Gauger ensured police security and order.

After the occupation by Soviet troops in early March 1945, took place the expulsion of the local population. Buchhorst came to Poland under the name Żelimucha and is now part of the Gmina Białogard.

church

Buchhorst belonged to the Marienkirche community in Belgard and was thus in the Belgard parish within the Pomeranian church province of the Protestant Church of the Old Prussian Union . The last German clergy were Pastor Gerhard Schlecht, who fell in 1945, and Superintendent Johannes Zitzke, who was in office until 1947.

Today the place is in the area of ​​the parish Koszalin in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Polish Evangelical-Augsburg Church .

school

Until 1846, the Buchhorst children had to attend school in Kösternitz. Then they went to the newly built elementary school on site. The last German teacher was Axel Trapp.
