Location in Poland

Bobrowiczki (German name Neu Bewersdorf ) is a village in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship and belongs to the rural community of Sławno ( Schlawe ) in the Sławno district .

Bobrowiczki is located three kilometers southwest of Sławno on the state road 6 Danzig - Stettin (former Reichsstraße 2 , today also European route 28 ). The nearest train station is Sławno on the PKP lines No. 202 Danzig - Stargard (Pomerania) and No. 418 Darłowo ( Rügenwalde ) - Korzybie ( Zollbrück ).

The Feldmark is hilly in the south up to 55 meters above sea level, in the north largely flat up to the foothills of the Moszczenica ( Motze ) lowland.

After the Stein-Hardenberg reforms at the beginning of the 19th century, Neu Bewersdorf was laid out on parts of the site of the former Schlawer Ackerhof. The name was given to distinguish it from Bewersdorf, one kilometer further north-west, which was then given the name Alt Bewersdorf . The town of Schlawe is likely to have given up the farm due to high debts (after the French era and the wars of freedom). The settlement of the farms and the Neu Bewersdorf plant may have been before 1834.

In 1864 the place had 658 inhabitants, whose number fell to 403 by 1939.

Until 1945 Neu Bewersdorf belonged to the district of Bewersdorf (seat: Alt Bewersdorf) in the district of Schlawe i. Pom. in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania. It was in the registry office district and the district court area Schlawe. The last German mayor before 1945 was Ernst Wunder .

On March 7, 1945, Soviet troops invaded Neu Bewersdorf on their advance to Schlawe. Most of the German residents were expelled in 1945. The place was named Bobrowiczki part of the Gmina Sławno in the Powiat Sławieński of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Stolp Voivodeship ).

Ecclesiastically - the population was almost exclusively Protestant before 1945 - Neu Bewersdorf with Alt Bewersdorf (today Polish: Bobrowice), Alt Warschow (Warszowo) and Neu Warschow (Warszówko) as well as Coccejendorf (formerly Schwenzenhagen, today Radosław) was integrated into the parish of Schlawe . It belonged to the church district Schlawe of the church province Pomerania of the church of the Old Prussian Union . The last German clergy were Superintendent Eduard Block and Pastor Friedrich Gehrmann .

Since 1945 the inhabitants of Bobrowiczki have been almost all Roman Catholic . The place still belongs to the - now Catholic - Parish Sławno, which is part of the deanery Sławno in the diocese of Köslin-Kolberg of the Catholic Church in Poland . Evangelical church members belong to the parish Koszalin ( Köslin ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
