Place name

Bosens used to have the name form Bosentz . A name interpretation is uncertain.

history

Prehistoric finds indicate an early settlement. But it was not until 1590 that the place was first mentioned in the parish registers. Until 1842 the village was owned by the von Podewils in Krangen . After that, the owners change frequently. The last owner from 1914 to 1945 was Enno Weißbach (as the sender's form on envelopes in the Weisbach spelling).

In 1818 there were 84 inhabitants in Bosens. Their number rose to 284 by 1885 and was even 313 in 1939.

Before 1945 Bosens belonged to the district of Krangen , the registry office Kummerow and the district court Schlawe . The village was in the district of Schlawe i. Pom. in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania . The estate, to which a total of 935 hectares of land belonged in 1939, was in the eastern part, the people's houses in the western part of the village. The Gutsdorf Kummerow was attached to the community of Bosens as a district.

After 1945 Bosens came under Polish sovereignty under the name Bożenice. The village is now a district of the urban and rural municipality Polanów in the powiat Koszaliński in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Koszalin Voivodeship ). Today the place has about 150 inhabitants.

church

Before 1945 the inhabitants of Bosens were almost all of the Protestant denomination. However, the village did not have its own house of worship. Bosens belonged with Drenzig and (Wendisch) Buckow to the church in Kummerow , which in turn - with the church Zirchow (with Latzig ) - was incorporated into the parish of Krangen . It belonged to the Schlawe parish of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The last German clergyman was Wilhelm Vedder .

Since 1945 the population of Bożenice has been predominantly Roman Catholic . The village still belongs to the branch church Komorowo, which is now integrated into the Bukowo Polanowskie ( (Wendish) Buckow ) parish . It is located in the Polanów deanery in the Köslin-Kolberg diocese of the Catholic Church in Poland . The few Protestant residents are members of the parish of Koszalin ( Köslin ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

school

The Bosen children initially had lessons in Kummerow, but later in their home village. Since 1842 there was a joint school building between Bosens and Kummerow, and around 1890 a second teaching post was established here. The last German headmaster before 1945 was Hermann Schäfer .
