history

Great stone graves near Borkow , here grave 1

The large stone graves near Borkow , four grave complexes of the Neolithic beaker culture, date from prehistoric times .

Borkow used to be an estate and farming village. The name also came in the Landsberg (Warthe) district (now Polish: Borek ) and in the Lauenburg i. Pom. ( Borkowo Lęborskie ). In 1530 the village came from the von Manteuffel family to the von Natzmer family , who owned it until 1927.

At the beginning of the 17th century, Borkow was completely destroyed by arson. After that, the place lay desolate for a while, until the landlord provided and occupied two Landhufen with new courtyards. Before that, Borkow had nine farms.

In 1811 the peasants were liberated.

The estate covered almost 700 hectares until 1927 and was then settled. The last owner of the remaining 400 hectares was the veterinarian Paul Korsanke, who in April 1945 - after a short civil internment in Thorn (Polish: Toruń ) returned sick to Borkow - was shot by the Russians.

Before 1945, Borkow with the localities Leikower Mühle (Lejkówko), Limbrechtshöhe and Limbrechtshof (Darskowo) was part of the Leikow (Lejkowo) municipality and belonged to the Soltikow (Sulechowo) district in the Schlawe i. Pom. in the administrative district of Köslin . The responsible registry office was in Soltikow, while the district court was located in Schlawe .

Towards the end of the Second World War , Borkow was captured and occupied by the Red Army in 1945 . Together with all of Western Pomerania, the place was then placed under Polish administration by the Soviet government. Borkow was renamed Borkowo . The immigration of Poles and Ukrainians from areas east of the Curzon Line began . The local German population was expelled due to the Bierut decrees . The village is now part of the Gmina Malechowo in the powiat Sławieński in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Koszalin Voivodeship ).

church

Before 1945, the population of Borkow was predominantly of Protestant denomination. The village belonged to the parish Klein Soltikow (now Polish: Sulechówko), which in turn was integrated into the parish of Nemitz (Niemica). It was in the parish of Rügenwalde (Darłowo) of the church province of Pomerania of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union . The last German clergyman was Pastor Martin Vossberg.

Today the citizens of Borkowo are mostly members of the Catholic Church . The parish is now located in Sulechówko ( Klein Soltikow ), and the former parish seat in Niemica ( Nemitz ) is assigned. Sulechówko belongs to the diocese of Koszalin-Kołobrzeg ( Köslin-Kolberg ). The Protestant church members are now cared for by the Koszalin ( Köslin ) parish in the Pomerania-Greater Poland diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg (i.e. Lutheran) Church in Poland .

school

The one-class school was built around 1930 during the settlement process and was located - with the sports field opposite - to the west of the manor. The last German teacher before 1945 was Erich Lemke.
