history

The Bewersdorf manor is mentioned in feudal letters from the 15th and 16th centuries. Later it was a fief of the Zitzewitz family . From 1563 until the 19th century it was owned by the Somnitz family .

In 1784 there was a Vorwerk , five farmers, half farmer, four Kossäten , a forge and a schoolmaster at a total of 28 fires. The Neu Bewersdorf colony belonging to the estate was included .

In 1809 the estate came into the possession of Ernst Gustav von Mitzlaff auf Viatrow (now Polish: Wiatrowo), who also owned Dammen (Damno) and Großendorf (Wielka Wies). The recourse to regulate manorial and rural conditions was signed on September 4, 1829. In the year 1857 the Vorwerk Franzhagen (Skibin) was built, and in 1864/65 the manorial castle with a 30 meter high tower was built in the middle of one of the most beautiful beech parks in Pomerania.

After 1875 the owners changed frequently. The last owner was Wilhelm Steifensand on Kuhnhof (Komnino) since 1924 . The estate was 845 hectares with 450 hectares of arable land.

In 1910 Bewersdorf had 368 inhabitants. In 1925 there were 27 residential buildings in the village. The parish area was 1,094 hectares. The population was 356 in 1933 and dropped to 295 by 1939.

Before 1945 the village belonged to the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania . Towards the end of World War II , the Red Army occupied the village on the night of March 9, 1945 . The estate inspector Paeth was shot. The estate was looted and parts of the household effects were brought to the Soviet Union . The Soviet soldiers stayed until 1951/52. Then Poles took over the village. Many villagers had left their village under the pressure of the occupying forces. A German school was set up in 1951 for children from families who had stayed in the village and existed for about five years. Later 180 villagers from Bewersdorf were identified in the Federal Republic of Germany and 50 in the GDR .

Bewersdorf was renamed Bobrowniki . The village is now part of the Gmina Damnica in the powiat Słupski in the Pomeranian Voivodeship (1975-1998 Slupsk Voivodeship ). Bobrowniki is a Schulzenamt , which also includes Skibin ( Franzhagen ) and Łojewo ( Lojow ). Today the village has about 860 inhabitants.
