history

The Zechlin estate was a fief of the Grumbkow family in 1457 . The associated village was laid out in the form of a small alley village. Major General Philipp Wilhelm von Grumbkow († 1778) had the farmers and cossettes moved from Zechlin to the village of Groß Runow . After that Zechlin was only inhabited by free people. In the last quarter of the 18th century, the Vorwerk in the district of Karlshöhe no longer existed, and the former estate had been turned into a purely farming village. After the death of Major General Grumbkow, his daughter, widow Friederika von Podewils , née Grumbkow, as a universal heir also the Lupow goods conglomerate, consisting u. a. from the villages of Lupow, Darsow, Malzkow, Sorkow, Groß Runow, Zechlin, Darsin, Pottangow, Varzmin A and Vangerske. She married a descendant of the Bonin family in her second marriage , whereby the property passed into the hands of his family. By 1784 Zechlin had eight farmers, eight kossäts, a schoolmaster and a total of 18 households. Before 1823 Zechlin had 97 inhabitants. In 1855 the Lupow goods conglomerate became a family entrepre- neurship . The Zechlin manor district, which corresponds to the Karlshöhe part of the municipality and had sixty inhabitants in 1871, still existed formally in 1895, but was no longer mentioned in 1905.

In 1925 there were 31 residential buildings in the municipality of Zechlin. In 1939 there were 178 inhabitants in the municipality of Zechlin, who were spread over 41 households.

Before 1945, Zechlin belonged to the administrative and civil registry district of Langeböse (now in Polish Pogorzelice ) in the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania . The parish area was 534 hectares. There were a total of three places of residence in the municipality of Zechlin:

  • Friederikenfelde
  • Karlshöhe
  • Zechlin

The community of Zechlin had thirty farms.

Towards the end of the Second World War , Zechlin was occupied by the Red Army on March 9, 1945 without a fight . Although the villagers had previously received an evacuation order and had to flee in two treks, the treks were overrun by Soviet troops and the villagers had to return. After the arrival of the Soviet Army in the village, several people were shot, including a. civilians too. The village population was in the aftermath of the Poles expelled . Zechlin was renamed Żychlin .

Later, 65 villagers displaced from Zechlin were identified in the FRG and 47 in the GDR .

The village is now part of the Gmina Potęgowo in the powiat Słupski in the Pomeranian Voivodeship (from 1975 to 1998 Stolp Voivodeship ). About 120 people live here today.

church

The population present in the Zechlin village before 1945 was predominantly Protestant . Zechlin was parish in the parish of Schurow (today Polish: Skórowo) in the church district of Stolp-Altstadt in the church province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The last German clergyman was Pastor Heinz Suhr . Around 1861 there were 21 followers of the Seehofian sect in Zechlin .

For Żychlin, who had been predominantly Catholic since 1945 , the pastoral connection to Skórowo ( Schurow ) remained. However, the parish is now incorporated into the Deanery Główczyce ( Glowitz ) in the Pelplin diocese of the Catholic Church in Poland . Evangelical church members living here now belong to the Kreuzkirche parish in Słupsk in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

school

Before 1945, Zechlin had its own elementary school. This school was single-stage in 1932; a teacher was teaching thirty school children here at the time.
