Dolice (German Constantinople ) is a village in the Gmina Dobrzany ( Jacobshagen ) in the powiat Stargardzki ( Stargard district in Pomerania ) of the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship .
Geographical location
Dolice is located in Western Pomerania on the Dölitzsee ( Jezioro Dolice ) in the southern part of the Nörenberg Nature Reserve ( Iński Park Krajobrazowy ).
The place can be reached via a side road, the Dobrzany ( Jacobshagen , 4 km) with Bytowo ( Butow , 6 km) and Sulibór ( Groß Spiegel , 8 km, on the voivodship road 151 Świdwin ( Schivelbein ) - Gorzów Wielkopolski ( Landsberg ad Warthe ) ) connects. The nearest train station is Ognica ( Stolzenhagen , 5 km) on the state railway line 403 Ulikowo ( Wulkow ) - Piła ( Schneidemühl ).
Neighboring places are: Grabnica ( Gräbnitzfelde ) in the north, Krzemień ( Kremmin ) in the east, Bytowo ( Butow ) in the southeast, Ognica ( Stolzenhagen ) in the southwest and Dobrzany in the west.
Place name
The place name Dolice occurs twice in Poland: 30 kilometers further south-east lies - also in the powiat Stargardzki - the place Dolice ( Dölitz, Pyritz district ), which is also the seat of the rural community of the same name .
The question of the German naming is answered differently. The place may have been named after the colonist with the first name Konstantin, who signed a petition to the father of the country to name the village, which Frederick the Great approved.
More likely, however, is the statement made by the Pansin pastor Justus Sagebaum in his book Lorbeer-Cypressen-Baum der Jacobshagener Synody from 1789: according to this, the place was named after the secret councilor Katharina Konstantia von Blumenthal nee. Woedtke , who had made a name for herself as a helpful patron for the poor in the country.
In any case, the naming of the place meant that its inhabitants were jokingly called “Turks” in the area.
history
Constantinople was founded as a colonist village in 1753. From this time there are still some settlement houses (partly in half-timbered construction) that were spared the great fire on October 29, 1920. The establishment of the place went back to an ordinance of Frederick the Great on September 12, 1753. In the colony twelve farmer positions were set up as well as one schoolmaster and one Büdner position. A forge was built as a craft business. The land and the associated shepherds' houses had 17 fireplaces. Until 1826 the village was one of the 16 villages of the former Saatzig-Ravenstein domain office.
Until 1945 Constantinople was part of the Temnick administrative and civil registry district . District court area was Jacobshagen (Dobrzany). It was in the district of Saatzig in the administrative district of Stettin in the Prussian province of Pomerania .
In 1910 the place had 157 inhabitants, in 1939 there were only 129 who lived in 35 households.
Towards the end of the Second World War , the Red Army occupied the region in the spring of 1945 . Shortly afterwards the village of Constantinople was placed under Polish administration together with the whole of Western Pomerania . Constantinople received the Polish place name Dolice . As far as the inhabitants had not fled, they were driven westward via the Oder by the local Polish administrative authority . The last German mayor was Emil Schwandt .
Today the village forms a district of Gmina Dobrzany in the powiat Stargardzki of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Szczecin Voivodeship ).

church
In Constantinople, the church was built before 1760. In 1896 a new church was built, which was a Protestant church until 1945 . The village was a branch in the parish of Kremmin (now in Polish: Krzemień), in which the branch communities Temnick (Ciemnik) and Butow (Bytowo) were parish.
Of the 1,302 parishioners in 1940, 116 belonged to the parish of Constantinople. It was incorporated into the church district Jacobshagen (Dobrzany) in the eastern district of the church province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The last German clergyman was Pastor Rudolf Schulze .
After 1945 the church became an Orthodox church (the only Orthodox village church in the voivodeship), which now belongs to the parish in Stargard .
Royal visit to "Dog Turkey"
On a sightseeing trip through his country, King Friedrich Wilhelm IV came to the province of Pomerania and also through Constantinople. While in other places he only perceived the homage by the population as he drove by, in Constantinople he had a stop - completely surprising for the village mayor and all residents.
The monarch asked the village mayor what his beautifully decorated place was called. "Constantinople, hold on to grace, Your Majesty," he replied, still completely surprised by the address. Then the king became curious. Remembering the great Turkish city, the king asked the - likewise perplexed - pastor, who was waiting with a cheerfully singing crowd of children, whether all the heathen lived here.
Not waiting for the long time coming from the clergyman's answer, he asked the sexton about a minaret in town. He had probably not heard the word before and looked at the monarch questioningly.
Finally, the king, visibly amused, asked the village mayor whether the place name had perhaps also introduced polygamy and whether he could expect to meet an angry sultan here. Now Schulze finally understood him correctly, because his dog was called "Sultan". "No, your Majesty, de Sultoan liggt uppm Mess un schlöppt".
The king and the escort could no longer resist laughing. The Constantinople didn't know why, but just to be on the safe side, they laughed heartily too. From that time on, her village was "Dog Turkey".
