history

Blankensee

Village square with a German-Polish restaurant - Gospoda , 2011

From 1720 Blankensee was with Böck pertinence to Gut Nassenheide, which the later Count Otto Gustav von Lepel bought in 1720. When the last male heir of the Lepels died in 1826, the goods passed to the female line, who was married to Count von Henckel-Donnersmarck, and ownership passed to this family.

In Blankensee there is a stone church that is over 500 years old . Before 1945 it was a branch church in the parish of Stolzenburg ( Stolec in Polish ). In 1732, the Randow District Administrator Jürgen Bernd von Ramin built a rectory in Blankensee at his own expense and moved the parish seat here. The name Stolzenburg was retained for the parish until 1937 , only then was it called Stolzenburg-Blankensee . It belonged to the Pasewalk parish in the Pomeranian Provincial Church of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . Today Blankensee is a branch church in the Boock parish in the Pomeranian Evangelical Church District of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany .

Until the end of the Second World War, the Nassenheide / Ziegelei station of the Randower Bahn was one kilometer east of Blankensee . When the border was drawn in 1945, the Stöven - Neuwarp route ran partly on the Polish and partly on the German side. The German part was brought to the Soviet Union as reparation.

Pampow

Pampow was a manor of the noble von Ramin family in Stolzenburg. Pampow developed into a farming village after serfdom was lifted in the 19th century. The landlords were still responsible for the police and church patronage.

The peculiarity of the congregation, which was independent until 2004, was that it did not have a church. Pampow belonged to Stolzenburg ( Polish Stolec ). When the border was drawn in 1945, the community was cut off from the mother church and the castle, but remained part of the branch church in Blankensee.
