history

The village, which was laid out in the form of a small cul-de-sac village, was formerly called Zierwenz , Zierwienz , Czierwienz, Zirsewenske , Czerwenz and Czerwenske ; it was also called Zirkoske in fiefdoms . Schierwenz and the neighboring village of Neitzkow were formerly old fiefdoms of the Stojentin family . In 1518 the Pomeranian Duke Bogislaw X enfeoffed Peter Stojentin with the goods left by his father, which also included a portion of the Schierwenz district. In 1590 there were still twelve farmers and two cottages in Schierwenz . After Otto von Stojentin's death in 1683, his widow sold the village to Gneomar Reinhold von Hoym . The latter sold the estate together with part of Neitzkow to Captain Heinrich Wilhelm von Somnitz in 1727 . In 1736 he bought the other part of the village of Neitzkow from Martin and Ernst Bogislaw von Wobeser and since then has owned both Schierwenz and the entire Neitzkow estate. Then Schierwenz came into the possession of the Counts of Münchow .

Around 1784 there was a farm in Schierwenz, a watermill, seven full-time farmers , two half-farmers , three farms, an inn, a blacksmith's shop, a schoolmaster, and another farm on the village's Feldmark along with a Büdner and a total of 24 households. The water mill was driven by the stream that flows through the village and flows into the Leba . Around 1800 there were only a few Kashubs left in Schierwenz .

Around 1804 Schierwenz was in the possession of a member of the Schlieffen family , then a member of the Weiher family . Before 1823 Schwierwenz (then called Zierwenz ) had 198 inhabitants. In 1847 the estate was bought by a Mr. Cramer. The owners then changed several times until the 727 hectare estate was acquired by the Pomeranian Landgesellschaft in 1924. It has now been settled. In 1938 the remnants were 175 hectares, of which 60 hectares were arable land.

In 1925 there were 35 residential buildings in Schierwenz. In 1939 260 inhabitants were counted, who were distributed over 62 households. In addition to the remnants, there were 35 other farms in Schierwenz,

Before the end of the Second World War , Schierwenz belonged to the district of Stolp , administrative district of Köslin , the province of Pomerania . The parish area was 1,094 hectares. Schierwenz was the only place of residence of the community Schierwenz.

Towards the end of World War II, Schierwenz was occupied by the Red Army on March 9, 1945 . At the time there were treks with refugees from East Prussia and West Prussia in the village . There were serious attacks by Soviet soldiers against civilians; ten people, including two children, were shot dead. In May 1945 a former Polish prisoner of war was appointed mayor. Accompanied by armed Polish militia, the Poles occupied the houses and farms and began to evict them . The Soviet troops temporarily kept the remnants and the mill in their possession. Schierwenz was renamed Czerwieniec .

Later 130 villagers displaced from Schierwenz were identified in the Federal Republic of Germany and 46 in the GDR .

Today the village has about 100 inhabitants.

The village population present in Schierwenz before 1945 was Protestant . In 1925 the village had a resident of Catholic denomination. Schierwenz belonged to the Stojentin parish and thus to the Stolp-Altstadt parish.
