Żukowo [ ʐuˈkɔvɔ ] (German Suckow ) is a village in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship . It belongs to the rural community of Sławno (Schlawe) in the powiat Sławieński .

Geographical location

Żukowo - with a closed village center and village anger in the middle - is located in Western Pomerania , southeast of the district town Sławno (Schlawe) on the border between the West Pomeranian and Pomeranian voivodeships .

Żukowo is located in a slightly hilly landscape that is loosened up by small forests and extends to the formerly so-called Suckower Forest , at an altitude of about 50  m npm neighboring towns are in the northwest Gwiazdowo , in the east Korzybie , in the south Łętowo (Lantow) and in the west Janiewice (Jannewitz) .

Place name

The place name Suckow occurs more frequently in northern Germany. The place name used to be Suckou and Suckau , then also Adlig Suckow - to distinguish it from Suckow near Rügenwalde, also in the Schlawe district, which was then called See Suckow (today in Polish Żukowo Morskie ). After the First World War, the place was officially named Suckow . The place name Żukowo also occurs more frequently in Poland.

history

As long as historical records go back, Żukowo has always been an estate and farming village. In 1363 Dubbeslao de Zukowe signed a loan agreement between the town of Schlawe and the citizens of Kolberg.

Suckow has been a fief of the von Massow family since ancient times . Around 1466 the princely Pomeranian councilor was named Nicolaus von Massow. The last of this family was Jacob von Massow in 1665. In 1666 parts were pledged to the von Kleist and von Damitz families , and in the following years the fief belonged to the von Podewils family in Krangen (now in Polish: Krąg).

Around 1780 Suckow was named as one of the largest villages in the region - with 1 farm , 1 water and cutting mill, 1 preacher, 1 organist, 1 sexton, 16 farmers, 1 half- farmer , 6 kossäts , 1 jug and 1 blacksmith, with a total of 33 Fireplaces (households).

Before 1818, the fief went to the later Count Werner von Blumenthal - probably due to the marriage to Countess August Friederike von Podewils from the house of Krangen. In 1874 their son, Count Werner von Blumenthal, sold the rule to Prince Karl Anton von Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen . In 1931 the Hohenzollern administration gave up agriculture and sold the area of ​​778 hectares to the Pomeranian Landgesellschaft , which then handled one of the largest German settlement procedures.

In 1818 Suckow had 236 inhabitants. Their number rose to 575 in 1895, to 712 in 1933 and was still 694 in 1939. Today around 350 inhabitants live in Żukowo.

Towards the end of the Second World War , on March 6, 1945, Soviet troops occupied the village. The residents had fled to the northeast and came to Saleske (Zaleskie), where they were overrun by Soviet units and forced to return home. Many villagers were deported to the Soviet Union to work. After the end of the war, Suckow was placed under Polish administration together with all of Western Pomerania . Quite a few villagers had to work in the village on a newly established kolkhoz , first under Soviet, then under Polish administration. By the end of 1945, all farms had been taken over by Polish families. Suckow was renamed Żukowo .

Żukowo is now a district of Gmina Sławno in the powiat Sławieński in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Slupsk Voivodeship ).

Local division until 1945

Before 1945, the municipality of Suckow had five villages or places to live:

  • Hohenzollerndorf (Polish: Brzeście), a settlement established in 1931 on the site of the Hohenzollern Estate, 1.5 kilometers west of Suckow,
  • Neu Suckow (Żukówko), formerly also mining Vegelitz , 10 farms, 300 meters north of Suckow, the plant probably dates from the first half of the 19th century,
  • Neu Suckow, forest workers 'house , formerly two houses, since 1932 a forest workers' farm near Wilhelmsruh,
  • Suckower Mühle , watermill on Mühlenbach behind Wilhelmsruh on a dirt road,
