Place name

The German name Damerkow designates another place in Pomerania, which - as the crow flies - is 40 kilometers further south near Bytów ( Bütow ) and is also called Dąbrówka today . The Polish place name Dąbrówka occurs more than 80 times in Poland.

history

From time immemorial, Damerkow was a field mark of Vieschen to the west (now in Polish: Wiszno). Around 1784 there were seven farmers here. As a district of Vieschen, it was called Expansion Damerkow in 1871 and Gut Damerkow in 1895 . In 1908 the two districts Bäuerlich Damerkow and Gut Damerkow were called.

The last owner of the estate was Werner Dieckhoff from 1924 to 1928 . At that time the 397 hectare estate consisted of 367 hectares of arable land, 19 hectares of meadows, two hectares of forest and nine hectares of water. Then Damerkow was resettled.

Before 1945 Damerkow belonged to the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the province of Pomerania . In 1925 there were 29 residential buildings in Damerkow. In 1933 180 inhabitants were registered in Damerkow. In 1939 there were 47 households and 195 residents. There were 19 farms. The community area totaled 451 hectares.

Towards the end of the Second World War , Damerkow was occupied by the Red Army on March 9, 1945 and soon afterwards was placed under Polish administration. Several villagers were sent to prisons in Stolp, Lauenburg i. Pom. and Köslin abducted and remained partially lost. In May 1945, four Polish militiamen came to the village. From around mid-July 1945 the Poles took over a number of farms and a Polish mayor was appointed. The eviction of the villagers began. The former German mayor Klix was deported in autumn 1947. Later, 94 villagers displaced from Damerkow in the Federal Republic of Germany and 45 in the GDR were identified.

Damerkow was renamed Dąbrówka . The place is now part of the Gmina Damnica in the powiat Słupski in the Pomeranian Voivodeship (1975-1998 Stolp Voivodeship ). Dąbrówka is the seat of a Schulzenamt for Dąbrówka, Jeziorka ( Kleinwasser ), Świtały ( Marienfelde ) and Wiszno ( Vieschen ). 145 inhabitants live here today.

church

Before 1945 the Damerkow residents were Protestant . The village was parish with 13 surrounding places in the parish of Dammen (now in Polish: Damno) in the church district of Stolp-Altstadt (Słupsk Stare Miastko) in the eastern district of the church province of Pomerania . The last German clergyman was Pastor Magnus Erdmann .

Since 1945 the population of Dąbrówka has been almost without exception Catholic . The village still belongs ecclesially to Damno ( Dammen ), but now belongs to the Catholic deanery Główczyce ( Glowitz ) in the diocese of Pelplin of the Catholic Church in Poland . Protestant church members living here are oriented towards the church in Główczyce, which is the branch church of the Kreuzkirche parish in Słupsk ( Stolp ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

school

On February 1, 1933 Damerkow received its own school. Before that, the children attended schools in Grapitz (now Polish: Grapice) and Lojow (Łojewo). A new school building was inaugurated on December 13, 1939. The last German teachers were Max Köhler and Hans Ruge .
