history

At the beginning of the 14th century Schlochow belonged to the extensive estates of Peter von Neuchâtel , Voivode von Stolp at the time, descendant of a Pomeranian count dynasty, whom historians later nicknamed Swenzonen (named after the oldest family member known by name, Swenzo , castellan von Stolp ). Schlochow was probably older - and at the time probably also had a greater significance - than the immediate neighboring town of Schmolsin. After Schlochow belonged to the Duchy of Pomerania before 1648 , it was one of the so-called royal villages in Prussian times. It was subordinate to the Stolp Office and later to the Schmolsin Office. The village was laid out in the shape of a dead end village. Around 1784 there were five farmers in Schlochow, including Schulzen, and a total of five households.

In 1925 there were 18 residential buildings in Schlochow. In 1939, 67 people lived in 18 households in Schlochow, and the community had a total of 17 farms.

Before 1945 Schlochow belonged to the District Schmolsin in county Stolp , administrative region of Pomerania , the province of Pomerania . The parish area was 208 hectares. Schlochow was the only place of residence in the community of Schlochow.

Towards the end of the Second World War , the Red Army occupied the village on March 8, 1945 . On March 10, 1945, a Soviet headquarters was established in the village. Since the village was in the Russian restricted area on the Baltic Sea , all villagers had to leave it temporarily from the end of March 1945 to June 1945. After the Red Arms had evacuated Schlochow in early 1946, Poles took over the farms. Schlochow was renamed Człuchy . The German villagers were subsequently expelled .

Later 10 villagers who had come from Schlochow were identified in the Federal Republic of Germany and 39 in the GDR .

The village now belongs to the Powiat Słupski of the Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Slupsk Voivodeship ).

church

The population living in Schlochow before 1945 was Protestant . In the 18th century Schlochow belonged to the parish of Groß Garde. The village later became part of the Schmolsin parish and thus belonged to the Stolp-Altstadt parish.
