history

Görshagen is mentioned for the first time in 1480, but it will have existed much earlier. Since ancient times, probably from the estate of swienca family , it is a von Puttkamer MOORISH fiefdom . The Schlackow estate , which included Görshagen as well as Vietzke (Polish: Wicko), Marsow (Marszewo) and, since 1846, Krolow (Królewo), had 3880 hectares when it was owned by Count Wilhelm von Zitzewitz on Zitzewitz from von Puttkamer in 1910 (Sycewice) for his son Georg. He sold Görshagen and Marsow in 1938 to the Pomeranian Landgesellschaft with the aim of resettlement, which, however, did not happen because of the outbreak of war in 1939.

In 1784 Görshagen had one Vorwerk , 9 peasants, 3 Kossäten , one schoolmaster, three fishermen's cottages, 2 forester apartments and one sheep. Until 1876 the place belonged to the district of Stolp , then to the district of Schlawe i. Pom. in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania .

In 1818 there were 249 inhabitants in Görshagen. Their number rose to 320 in 1885 and was still 253 in 1939. It was in the district and registry office district of Schlackow as well as in the district court area of Schlawe .

On March 8, 1945, the town was occupied by the Red Army . From 1946 the German population was expelled . Görshagen is now called Górsko and is part of the Gmina Postomino in the Powiat Sławieński of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Stolp Voivodeship ).

church

Before 1945 the population of Görshagen was predominantly of Protestant denomination. The village belonged - like Schlackow (Złakowo) - to the parish Marsow (Marszewo) in the parish of Rügenwalde (Darłowo) in the church province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . From 1928 the pastor's office in Marsow remained vacant and the pastor from Pustamin (Postomino) took over the church care.

Since 1945 the inhabitants of Górsko are almost without exception Catholic . Marszewo is still a parish, but the parish is now a branch parish of the Postomino parish and belongs to the deanery Ustka ( Stolpmünde ) in the diocese of Köslin-Kolberg of the Catholic Church in Poland . Evangelical church members are now assigned to the parish of Słupsk ( Stolp ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

school

A schoolmaster is mentioned in Görshagen as early as 1784. Until 1945 there was a single-class elementary school with a teacher's apartment here.
