Dormowo [ dɔrˈmɔvɔ ] (also Durmowo , 1939–1945 Dornhagen ) is a village of the urban and rural municipality Międzychód in the powiat Międzychodzki in the Greater Poland Voivodeship in Poland .
geography
Dormowo is located about 8 km south of the district town of Międzychód , about 46 km from Gorzów Wielkopolski and 70 km from Poznan . In the immediate vicinity of Dormowo there are several lakes, the largest, Jezioro Dormowskie (German Dormower See ) with an area of approx. 27 hectares, is located about 1 km south. Dormowo itself borders on the so-called Jezioro Dormowskie Małe (German Little Dormower See ). However, this lake only has an area of 3 hectares. Furthermore, Dormowo lies between the two-part, 122 km² large landscape protection park Pszczewski Park Krajobrazowy, which extends a few kilometers to the west and east of the village.
history
The cluster village Dormowo was first mentioned in 1469 as Durmowo. This spelling was used until around the end of the 18th century, from then on the village was almost consistently called Dormowo. It is believed that the present village was founded between the 10th and 12th centuries and has been continuously settled since then. However, finds made by the head of the office in 1934 and 1936 indicate that the area was first settled much earlier.
From 1508 the village of Dormowo belonged to the Bishop of Posen until in 1795, through the third division of Poland , the village was incorporated into the Kingdom of Prussia . There Dormowo belonged to the district of Meseritz from its establishment in 1795 until January 9, 1920 . With the entry into force of the Versailles Treaty on January 10, 1920, the eastern part of the Meseritz district including Dormowo was ceded to Poland, which is why the village was in the powiat Nowotomyski until 1975 .
From 1564 it is reported that there is an inn , 16 fiefs and a mill in Dormowo.
Dormowo consists of three residential areas , from the actual village of Dormowo and from the New and Old Mill, which at times were also called Upper and Lower Mill. The new and old mills were small districts north of the main town Dormowo, each with no more than ten inhabitants, where a mill had existed since the 16th century. The new mill was in use until 1970, initially only by water power, later also electrically operated, the old mill until 1946. The mill was put into operation again in 1997.
At the edge of the forest on the way to Gorzyn, a memorial for the fallen inhabitants of the village of Dormowo was erected in 1920 . There were 24 dead from the First World War and three dead from the Poznan Uprising . After the memorial was destroyed by the National Socialists , it was rebuilt in 1948 and the names for the fallen residents of World War II were added.
In 1873 Dormowo became an independent municipality with a competent registry office in Lowin, four kilometers away. The church for the Catholic population of the village was in Kähme and for the Protestant population in Birnbaum . During the Second World War, a total of three residents of the village died, and two houses burned down when the Red Army marched in on January 31, 1945 and occupied the area . From 1946 onwards the expulsion of the German population and the settlement of Poles from Belarus and the Ukraine began . Dormowo, which was renamed Dornhagen by the National Socialists due to the Slavic origin of the village name, was given its original name again.
From 1975 to 1998 the village was administratively part of the Gorzów Voivodeship .
population
In the district of Meseritz, in which Dormowo, with an interruption in the years 1920-1939, until 1945, about 80% of the population were ethnic Germans and 20% ethnic Poles in the census from 1905 , with almost all Germans being Protestant and all Poles Catholic denomination. In contrast to this is the village of Dormowo, where the Poles formed the majority of the population with 85% in the same year. There were six Protestant and 352 Catholic residents.
The rather marginal location of the village was reflected in the illiteracy rate , despite the existing village school with library , which was 39% in 1871, well above the average of 15% in the entire Kingdom of Prussia.
Population development
As can be seen from the table below, the number of residents rose steadily until it peaked at the end of the 19th century. Due to the flight from the east , the ongoing clashes between Poles and Germans and the First World War, after which Dormowo again belonged to the Second Polish Republic , the population then decreased, so that in 2009 it almost reached the level of the beginning of the 19th century.
It should be noted that in the sources up to 1846, the population of the New and Old Mill was given separately, so that the total population of Dormowo with all districts is also noted in brackets.
