Chocimino (German Gutzmin ) is a village in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship . It is located in the Powiat Koszaliński ( Köslin ) and belongs to the urban and rural municipality Polanów ( Pollnow ).

Geographical location

Chocimino is located in a landscape in Western Pomerania , which is characterized by a crested terminal moraine. With its wooded slopes, it forms the eastern bank of a glacial valley that extends from Polanów via Chocimino to Jezioro Kwiecko ( Lower Lake ) and continues in the valley of the Radüe (Radew).

A side road leads through the village, which connects Polanów on the voivodship road No. 205 via Cybulino ( Zeblin ) on the voivodship road No. 168 with Bobolice ( Bublitz ). It is nine kilometers to Polanów and the district town of Koszalin is 42 kilometers away.

Chocimino no longer has a rail connection today. From 1898 to 1945 Gutzmin was a train station on the Reichsbahn lines from Falkenburg (now Polish: Złocieniec) to Gramenz (Grzmiąca) and from Gramenz to Zollbrück (Korzybie). In addition, the small train from Schlawe (Sławno) via Pollnow to Sydow (Żydowo) had a stop in Gutzmin.

Before 1945 the Gutzmin-Bahnhof, Gutzmin-Forsthaus (now Polish: Chocimino Leśne), Hildegardshöhe (Łokwica) and Vettrin (Wietrzno) residential areas belonged to the village of Gutzmin .

Place name

The name "Gutzmin" is said to be derived from the Wendish "Gusz" = thicket. In the past there was also the spelling Gutzmyn .

history

As the 30 or so graves in the Gutzminer Forest show, the area is very old settlement. The first news about the village dates from 1507, when the cousins of Ramel auf Wusterwitz (Ostrowiec) and Kösternitz (Kościernica) and from Lettow auf Papenzin (Bobięcino) had to cede the village to the Buckow monastery .

After the secularization , the von Lettow and von Knuth families received the place. Later the fief goes to von Natzmer (1618 = Antonius Natzmer ). The estate stayed with this family until it was sold to Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Hasse in 1840 . After that it changed hands often until it was sold in 1911 to the von der Osten-Fabeck family , who owned it until 1937. Carl von der Osten-Fabeck sold Gutzmin in 1937 to Hans Merensky, who owned it until 1945.

Around 1780 the village Gutzmin 1 mill 1 had Vorwerk , 1 sheep, 10 full farmers , 2 , half-peasant , 2 Kossäten , 1 Schulmeister, 1 forging and a total of 22 hearths (households). 198 inhabitants lived here in 1818, their number rose to 420 by 1871, in 1895 there were 365, and in 1939 there were 348 inhabitants.

Until 1945 Gutzmin was a municipality in the Office Sydow (Żydowo), where the registry office was also located. The registry office documents that have been preserved are now kept in the Polanów registry office, the Berlin-Mitte registry office and the Archiwum Panstwówe w Koszalinie (State Archive Köslin). The village belonged to the district court district Pollnow and was in the district of Schlawe i. Pom. , which belonged to the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania .

On February 28, 1945 the village of Gutzmin was occupied by the Soviet military . A few days later, 31 women, men and young people were deported to Russia for forced labor, including some women who had been evacuated from western Germany; only ten of them survived the hardships.

In the summer of 1947, the Polish administration took over the village, the German inhabitants of which were all expelled from Poles who immigrated after the end of the war due to the so-called Bierut decrees . The place was given the Polish name Chocimino and is now part of the urban and rural municipality Polanów in the Powiat Koszaliński. Between 1975 and 1998 it belonged to the Köslin Voivodeship , which was then united with the Szczecin Voivodeship to form the West Pomeranian Voivodeship.

church

Parish

Before 1945, the inhabitants of Gutzmin were almost all of the Protestant denomination. The village formed an independent parish, which was looked after as a branch church from Sydow (Żydowo). It belonged to the church district Bublitz (Bobolice) (until 1713 Rügenwalde (Darłowo)) of the ecclesiastical province of Pomerania in the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union .

In 1939 the parish had 310 members. The last church patronage was the corvette captain from the Osten-Fabeck on Gutzmin. The last German clergyman was Pastor Peter Bultmann. Surviving church records from the years 1875 to 1940 are preserved in the Catholic parish Polanów, in whose parish area Chocimino today. The Protestant residents are now taken care of by the parish office in Koszalin ( Köslin ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Village church

The Gutzminer church is a small, square half-timbered building with an attached tower. It was built in the 16th century. The altar dates from the first half of the 17th century. Its structure shows a painted image of Christ on the cross with the disciple John and the mother Mary between two columns . Below you can see the family of the founder Antonius Natzmer . The pulpit, as well as the bell, is from the 17th century. A second bell had to be delivered for ammunition purposes during the First World War .

school

The one-class elementary school with a teacher's apartment was built in 1937 at Gutzminer Bahnhof. The previous school, whose founding date is unknown, was located in the middle of the village near the church. The last teachers before 1945 were named Krause, Kunde, Niemann and Stenzel.
