Geographical location

The village is located in Western Pomerania , about 90 kilometers northeast of Stettin and about 18 kilometers south of Kołobrzeg (Kolberg) , on a country road between the villages of Siemyśl (Simötzel) in the northeast and Gorawino (Gervin) in the southwest.

history

The village was mentioned for the first time in a document from 1224, with Duchess Anastasia, the widow of Duke Bogislaw I of Pomerania, who transferred land to Belbuck Monastery for the establishment of a nunnery, later the Marienbusch Monastery . The village called "Bialcur" also belonged to the property mentioned in the document. The donation was made by her grandchildren, the dukes Barnim I and Wartislaw III. , confirmed with a document from 1227, slightly modified. The village appeared here under the name "Balocure", also in another confirmation of ownership by Duke Wartislaw III. from 1240.

In 1264, the Belbuck monastery exchanged the village of Baldekow with Duke Barnim I for the village of Klätkow , although the monastery was to keep the income from the jug that existed in Baldekow at that time. But in 1271 Duke Barnim I transferred the village of Baldekow back to the monastery.

Later Baldekow appeared in the fiefdom of the noble families Kameke and Manteuffel , then only to the Kameke family. In Ludwig Wilhelm Brüggemann's detailed description of the current state of the Royal Prussian Duchy of Western and Western Pomerania (1784), Baldekow is listed among the noble estates of the Greifenberg district . There was a farm here, six farmers and a wood-keeper, a total of 16 households (“fire places”). Baldekow then belonged to Major Leopold Georg von Kameke .

Baldekow was later lost to the Kameke family and often changed hands in the 19th century. At the end of the 19th century, Baldekow had practically developed into an estate village in which only three farms were left in addition to the manor. At the turn of the century, the estate was relocated by its owner. With the help of a goods broker, 45 new farm positions were created, which were distributed outside the village in the Feldmark. 172 hectares of land remained, of which another 60 hectares were sold in 1934.

In the 19th century, the manor Baldekow and the rural community Baldekow existed side by side. After the estate was settled, the estate district was ultimately incorporated into the rural community.

Until 1945 Baldekow formed a municipality in the Kolberg-Körlin district of the Pomeranian province . Apart from Baldekow, there were no other places to live in the community.

Towards the end of the Second World War , Baldekow was occupied by the Red Army . The village population was expelled in 1945 . Like all areas east of the Oder-Neisse border , the village came to Poland. It received the Polish place name "Białokury", probably based on the place name that was first mentioned in 1224, "Bialcur".
