Choczewo ( German Chottschow , 1938-1945 Gotendorf , Kashubian Chòczewò ) is a village in the Polish Voivodeship of Pomerania and belongs to the powiat Wejherowski ( Neustadt in West Prussia ). It is the seat of the rural community of the same name .
Geographical location
The village is located in Western Pomerania , about ten kilometers from the Baltic coast to the west of Gotendorfer See (formerly Chottschower See , Polish Jezioro Choczewskie ), about 26 kilometers north-northeast of Lauenburg ( Lębork ).
Voivodship road 213 leads to the place, which connects Celbowo ( Celbau ) via Krokowa ( Krockow ) with Wicko ( Vietzig ), Główczyce ( Glowitz ) and Słupsk ( Stolp ).
The former district town of Lębork ( Lauenburg in Pomerania ) and the current district town of Wejherowo ( Neustadt in West Prussia , 28 kilometers away) can each be reached directly via well-developed side roads.
A train connection has not existed since 2004.
history
Around 1782 there was a farm , three farms, a smithy and a schoolhouse in Chhotchow or Choczau ; half of what was then called the Chottschower See belonged to the village. At that time, the village was owned by Lieutenant Adam Wilhelm von Dziczelsky . In 1813 the Patrimonial Court in Chottschow had to deal with the auctioning of homesteads whose owners had got into economic hardship as a result of the Wars of Liberation .
In 1910 there were 492 inhabitants registered in Chottschow (municipality and manor district). Their number rose to 569 by 1933 and was still 599 in 1939.
Until 1945 Chottschow (1938–45 Gotendorf ) belonged to the district of Lauenburg i. Pom. in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania . With the municipalities of Groß Lüblow (now Lublewo in Polish), Kerschkow (Kierzkowo), Klein Lüblow (Lublewko), Diebenin (Starbienino) and Wittenberg (Białogóra), the place was incorporated into the district of the municipality of Ossecken (Osieki Lęborskie), and also belonged to the registry office district Ossecken, but to the district court area Lauenburg (Lębork).
Towards the end of the Second World War , the Red Army occupied the region in the spring of 1945 . Soon afterwards the region was placed under Polish administration together with the whole of Western Pomerania . In the following time the resident German villagers were evicted by the local Polish administrative authorities .
Since 1945 the village, then called Choczewo, has been a district of the Gmina of the same name , which belongs to the powiat Wejherowski within the Pomeranian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Gdansk Voivodeship ). Today 1310 inhabitants live in the village.
church
Before 1945, the majority of the population of Chottschow was of Protestant denomination. The village did not have its own house of worship. Ossecken was parish seat rather (Osieki Lęborskie polish today), whose parish one of the largest in the parish of Lauenburg in Pomerania (Lębork) in the ecclesiastical province of Pomerania of the Prussian Union of churches was. In 1940 the parish of Ossecken had 3,321 parishioners.
Almost without exception Catholic church members have lived in Choczewo since 1945 . Today Choczewo forms its own parish (Parafia MB Królowej Polski - Parish of Our Lady, Queen of Poland) in the Dean's Office Gniewino ( Gnewin ) in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pelplin of the Catholic Church in Poland . Protestant church members living here are assigned to the rectory in Słupsk ( Stolp ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland , which maintains a worship service in Lębork .
