Village Brzeżno ( Briesen )

history

Before 1945 the manors Ilsbruch and Friedrichshof belonged to the Pomeranian Briesen. The village with a church is mentioned as early as 1337 in the Neumark land register. In the 15th century it belonged to the von Briesen family. In 1807 Leutnant von Hauben and Leutnant von Briesen were named.

In 1824 the peasant regulation was made in Briesen. At that time there were six farmers and several cottagers . 60 years later there were still three farmers, a Kossät, six Büdner and six owners. In 1928 there were two manors in Briesen with a size of 59 hectares owned by Willy Karl.

The community was oriented towards agriculture. Trade and handicrafts were represented by a blacksmith's and wagon forge, a carpentry, a cartwright, an electrician, a building company, a shoemaker's shop, a grocery store and an inn. The distillery cooperative and the dairy cooperative were also responsible for the communities of Repzin , Venzlaffshagen and Panzerin .

In 1939, the 1089.1 hectare village of Briesen had 354 inhabitants, 281 of whom were employed in agriculture. The Ilsbruch manor was owned by Otto Klütz and had a size of 266 hectares.

Until 1932 Briesen belonged to the district of Schivelbein and after its dissolution came to the district of Belgard (Persante) . It belonged to the district court district of Schivelbein . The large and small Briesener See lakes belonged to the municipality .

The last German mayor was Arthur Schimmelpfennig. Police duties were most recently carried out by the Draeger gendarmerie post.

Briesen was occupied by Red Army troops from Venzlaffshagen on March 3, 1945 between 12 noon and 1 p.m. without fighting. Two days later there were minor fighting near the place. After Western Pomerania was placed under Polish administration, the expulsion of the German population began in the summer of 1945 . Briesen was renamed Brzeżno and today belongs to the rural municipality of the same name in Powiat Świdwiński .
