history
Damkerort was a village of the Neuwasser municipality until 1945 and with this to the office Büssow (Boryszewo) in the district of Schlawe i. Pom. and to the registry office Büssow (with seat in See Buckow (Bukowo Morskie)).
The Baltic Sea has repeatedly broken through the spit. Eight storm surges were expected per century. In 1801 the sea tore away five houses. There was an offer to move the village to the Heidlück in the forest of Eventin (Iwięcino), which the villagers refused.
Around 1913/14 there was another flood with severe damage. In 1925, today's connecting ditch from Buckower See to the Baltic Sea, the so-called "Buckower Deep", was created east of the town. In addition, the spit was fortified by planting.
The Damkerort fishermen were allowed to fish in Buckower See. Fishing was the main occupation of the inhabitants, some supplemented their work in agriculture and livestock. Tourism was of no importance until 1945.
In 1818 there were 51 people living in Damkerort, in 1871 there were 42. After that, the Damkerort people were no longer counted separately from the residents of the Neuwasser community.
Towards the end of the Second World War , on March 6, 1945, Soviet troops, coming from the west, occupied the spit with Damkerort and Neuwasser. A Red Army headquarters remained in Neuwasser until 1948 .
It was not until 1948 that Neuwasser and Damkerort were placed under Polish administration by the Soviets . Damkerort received the Polish place name Dąbkowice . The local villagers were evicted .
Today Dąbkowice belongs to Gmina Darłowo in the Powiat Sławieński ( Schlawe district ).
