history

Groß Brüskow northwest of the town of Stolp (previously written as Stolpe ), west of the Stolpe River and south of Stolpmünde (top left in the picture) on the Baltic Sea on a map from 1794.

In 1536, shortly after the introduction of the Reformation in Pomerania , the village of Brüskow was owned by Duke Barnim IX. In Prussian times, Groß Brüskow was one of the eighteen royal villages of the Stolper Office. Around 1768 there were 12 farms in Groß Brüskow. In the 18th century, Groß Brüskow had a 609 acre Vorwerk. In 1784 there were seven farmers in the village, including the Schulzen, three Kossäts , eight Büdner including the blacksmith, a schoolmaster and a preacher. Up until the agrarian reform at the beginning of the 19th century, the farmers and cossets of the village were compulsory on the farm. After the agrarian reform had been carried out in the 20s of the 19th century, the Vorwerk Groß Brüskow was offered for sale by the Prussian government in Köslin.

Before 1945, the rural community of Groß Brüskow belonged to the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the Pomeranian province . The parish area was 1,860 hectares. There were a total of five places of residence in the municipality:

  • Dodow
  • Forest house Buchhorst
  • Forester's house Scharfenstein
  • Friedrichsthal
  • Great Bruskow

There was a brick factory in Dodow around 1800 . In 1925 there were 87 residential buildings in Groß Brüskow. In 1939 there were 154 households and 608 inhabitants.

The community had its own mayor, a registry office, a primary school and a Protestant pastor who resided in the parsonage. Groß Brüskow was the residence of the independent regional midwife who had been assigned a total of eleven villages for care by the administration of the Stolp district . The population lived mainly from agriculture and animal husbandry, and to a lesser extent from forestry. In the 19th century, Groß Brüskow and its neighboring villages were known for their flax cultivation . In Groß Brüskow there was a cattle shop, a brick factory, a windmill (owner family: Jenz), a branch of the rural savings and loan fund EGmbH , several retail stores, two inns and the handicrafts and service businesses common for a rural community. In the Groß Brüskower Moor, peat was cut and dried; it was used as fuel.

Towards the end of the Second World War , Groß Brüskow was taken by the Red Army on March 8, 1945 without a fight . In the beginning there were numerous attacks against the village population. On March 30, 1945, the Brüskower had to leave their village temporarily because it was within the Soviet restricted area on the Baltic Sea . They evaded to Birkow and other neighboring towns. In the summer of 1945, a Soviet command office was set up in Groß Brüskow , to which Birkow was also subordinate. The new commanding officer had the fields cultivated and authorized services to be held. When the Soviet commander and his soldiers went to Groß Massowitz in the district of Lauenburg i. Pom. withdrew, Poles took over the place. The German civilian population was forced out of their homes and their property was confiscated . The eviction began . On August 24, 1946 in the morning at 5 a.m., part of the villagers were brought into the hall of the Gasthof Strauss in a surprise operation and deported westwards from Stolp train station the following day . Further transports followed. Later, 186 villagers displaced from Groß Brüskow in the Federal Republic of Germany and 188 in the GDR were identified.

Between 1975 and 1998 Bruskowo Wielkie belonged to the Slupsk Voivodeship .

church

Parish church

The church in Groß Brüskow was first mentioned in a document in 1490. But the old church had to give way to a new building in 1863. In the center window of the choir a small coat of arms with signature was placed, which contained the full title of Duke Ernst Bogislaw von Croy . One of the three bells in the church, cast in 1594, escaped being melted down for ammunition purposes during World War II : it was found in a bell cemetery and was brought to Frixheim near Rommerskirchen in 1963 , where it has been ringing ever since.

In 1945 the former Protestant church was expropriated in favor of the Catholic Church. On November 3, 1945 it was consecrated again and was given the name Kościół Niepokalanego Poczęcia Najświętszej Maryi Panny ("Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary").
