history

The former Rittergut Gallensow was in older times a fief of the Zitzewitz family , who were wealthy in the Stolp region. Jarislaw (the elder), born around 1360, who owned extensive estates in the Stolp area , is named as the first family member to have owned the estate . The village name at the time was Gallensaw . Around 1784 there was a Vorwerk in Gallensow, six full farmers , two half-farmers , two cottages , an inn, on the field of the village a wood- keeper's cottage called Glambock , which was located on the Glambock Lake and the Stolpe, and a total of eleven households. At this time the estate was owned by Friedrich Johann George von Zitzewitz. As part of the regulation of manorial and peasant conditions, a total of 458.5 hectares of land was allocated to the farmers in 1828 and 770 hectares to the landowner.

In 1833 Adolf von Zitzewitz inherited the Nippoglense and Gallensow estates . He had a stately mansion built in Nippoglense and administered the goods complex from there. After his marriage remained childless, his nephews and nieces inherited his property. Nippoglense and Gallensow received his nephew Jesco von Puttkamer in 1882 , the youngest son of Eugen von Puttkamer auf Plauth. After the death of Jesco von Puttkamer in 1918, both goods passed to his son Otto and then in a further generation to Jesco von Puttkamer, who was the last owner before 1945.

Before the end of the Second World War Gallensow belonged to the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the province of Pomerania . The community area was 1,210 hectares. In addition to the village of Gallensow, the community of Gallensow included the forest house Glambock, Vorwerk Krause and Schäferei (also: Glambock-Katen or Krause Abbau). In 1929 there were 48 residential buildings in Gallensow. In 1939 there were 89 households and 379 residents. In addition to the farm there were 38 farms in the village.

Towards the end of World War II, Gallensow was captured by the Red Army on March 8, 1945 . The day before, a trek with villagers via Wundichow, Groß Nossin, Jerskewitz, Wutzkow and Lauenburg had started early in the morning and partly reached Groß Poschpol. Most of them came to Gowin just before Neustadt in West Prussia , where the trek was overrun by Soviet troops. Some managed to escape via Gotenhafen by ship across the Baltic Sea to Denmark . Some of the others only returned to their homeland after weeks. Before the Soviet occupation, SS troops were in Gallensow until March 5.

After the whole of Western Pomerania had been placed under Polish administration at the end of the war, Poles arrived in the village in autumn 1945. On October 9, a public announcement was made that all property in the village with living and dead inventory was Polish property. As part of the practical expropriation measures, there were assaults against the villagers. Two villagers died as a result of their injuries. All of the remaining villagers were evicted , the last in autumn 1947.

177 of them were later identified in the Federal Republic of Germany and 102 in the GDR .

Gallensow was renamed Gałęzów . Today the village has about 210 inhabitants.
