Barzowice [ baʒɔˈvʲit͡sɛ ] ( German  Barzwitz ) is a village in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship . It belongs to the rural community (gmina wiejska) Darłowo ( Rügenwalde ) in the powiat Sławieński ( Schlawe )

Geographical location

The village is located in Western Pomerania , about 17 kilometers northwest of Schlawe ( Sławno ) and ten kilometers northeast of Rügenwalde ( Darłowo ).

The place is located on the slope of a ridge that slopes down to Lake Vitter ( Jezioro Kopań ), an inland lake, and the Baltic Sea . The highest point is the Pigower Berg ( Barzowicka Góra ) hill, one kilometer southeast of the village, at 72 meters above sea level.

Place name

The village was called Barzwitz until 1945 and earlier also Barciz . The name is said to be related to the knight family Bartus - Barthewitz - Bartowitz , who were mentioned in the 14th century. It is not clear whether the family name resulted in the place name or vice versa. A relationship with the West Pomeranian city ​​of Barth and the river Barthe is also possible , because Barzwitz originally belonged to the Cistercian monastery Neuenkamp near Franzburg in West Pomerania.

history

Barzwitz northeast of the Baltic city of Rügenwalde and northwest of the city of Schlawe on a map from 1910.
Barzwitz village church

The Pomeranian settlement goes back to Wendish times. Originally the place was a round complex around the church, but later expanded to become a village with a wide cultivated field. The settlement core with church and school is in the southern part of the village at the highest point.

In 1275 Wizlaw II. Von Rügen , who owned Schlawe , donated three villages to the Cistercian monastery Neuenkamp near Franzburg, including Barciz . Then the village came to the Rügenwalder Amt until 1350 , where it was considered the largest and most prosperous village. In 1784 Barzwitz had a preacher, a sexton , 21 farmers including the free schooling , two country cottages , three street cottagers, eight bidders , a blacksmith , a preacher's widow's house and a shepherd's cottage and a total of 44 fireplaces (households).

Before 1945 Barzwitz belonged to the administrative district Palzwitz (today in Polish: Palczewice) and to the district court area Rügenwalde (Darłowo) in the district of Schlawe i. Pom.

Towards the end of the Second World War , Soviet troops marched into the village on March 7, 1945 . Several local men were abducted and taken to camps. As early as mid-1945, Eastern Pomerania was placed under Polish administration by the Soviet Union . Afterwards, Polish civilians from areas east of the Curzon Line were resettled in the village. Barzwitz received the Polish place name Barzowice . The German residents were gradually expelled from Barzwitz by the local Polish administrative authority from 1946 onwards .

The place is now part of the rural community Darłowo in the Powiat Sławieński.

church

Parish

Until 1945 the Protestant parish Barzwitz included the following places: Barzwitz, Dörsenthin (Polish: Dzierżęcin), Drosedow (Drozdowo), Karzin (Karsino), Vitte (Wicie) and Zillmitz (Sulimice).

The parish with almost all Protestant parishioners belonged to the parish of Rügenwalde in the church province of Pomerania in the Protestant church of the Old Prussian Union . In 1940 there were 1278 parishioners.

Even today Barzowice - now with its almost exclusively Roman Catholic parishioners - forms its own parish (until 1986 parish seat in Stary Kraków ), to which the subsidiary church Cisowo ( Zizow ) still belongs. It is located in the Darłowo deanery in the Köslin-Kolberg diocese of the Catholic Church in Poland . In 1645 parishioners belong to him.

The Protestant church members still living here belong to the parish Koszalin ( Köslin ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Polish Evangelical-Augsburg Church .

Parish church

The church with the west tower is a Gothic brick building from the period between the end of the 14th century and the second half of the 15th century, which stands on a field stone base . The outer walls are supported by regular buttresses. The church was rebuilt in the 19th century.

The interior of the church with the flat wooden ceiling has undergone numerous renovations. At the altar are the figures of the apostles Peter and Paul . A brass baptismal font contains the year 1645, another baptismal font is adorned with the Annunciation .

Around the church is the old, no longer used cemetery in the shade of very old trees, surrounded by a stone wall.

After 1945 the church, in which Protestant services were held for over 400 years, was expropriated in favor of the Catholic Church. On April 7, 1948, it received a new consecration and was dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi .
