Geographical location

The village is located in Western Pomerania , about six kilometers north of the district town of Lębork ( Lauenburg / Pomerania ) and 20 kilometers south of the Baltic Sea town of Łeba ( Leba ).

To the place leads the voivodship road 214 , which comes from Łeba to Lębork and further over Kościerzyna ( Berent / West Prussia ) and Skórcz ( Skurz ) to Warlubie ( Warlubia ) leads. Garczegorze is a train station on the state railway line 229 from Lębork to Łeba . The old railway line from Neustadt / West Prussia via Chottschow to Garzigar of the Lauenburger Bahnen is no longer in operation.

Place name

Earlier forms of the name are: Gorczegar (1348), Garczingar (1402), Garczegor (1437) and Gatzegar (1628).

history

The settlement area on which the place originated is old. The discovery of a Gothic court urn with bronze earrings and a bronze spiral thread as a necklace from the first millennium BC.

In 1348, the Danzig Commander of the Teutonic Order , Heinrich Rechtir , gave the two locators Arnold and Wicken the hand-held festivals for half the village in order to occupy it with settlers according to culmic law. This makes Garzigar the oldest order in the Lauenburg area . Around the year 1784 there were eleven full farmers , two Kossäts , a Büdner and a total of 19 fireplaces (households) in the village .

In 1910 the village had 507 inhabitants. Their number rose to 693 by 1933 and was still 643 in 1939. The localities Johannisthal (now Polish: Janisławiec ) and Obliwitz ( Obliwice ) belonged to the municipality .

In 1945 Garzigar belonged to the district of Lauenburg in Pomerania in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania of the German Empire .

Towards the end of the Second World War , the Red Army occupied the region in the spring of 1945 . After the end of the war, Garzigar was placed under Polish administration together with all of Western Pomerania . Then the immigration of Polish civilians began. Garzigar received the Polish place name Garczegorze . In the period that followed the Alteinwohner from Garzigar were sold .

The village is now part of the Gmina Nowa Wieś Lęborska in the powiat Lęborski in the Pomeranian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Slupsk Voivodeship ). Garczegorze is a Schulzenamt and today has 364 inhabitants.

Even before the arrival of the Teutonic Order , Garzigar owned a church which - like the current building since 1945 - was consecrated to St. Mary Magdalene . Most residents known after the Reformation the Lutheran doctrine. Nevertheless, around 1641 the Protestant community had to hand over the church building to the Catholics under pressure from Bishop Maciej Łubieński of Kujawia and Pomerania as part of the Counter Reformation . It became the daughter church of Lauenburg . Since then, the Protestant Christians have had to hold their services in the hall of the Schulzenamt, because it was not until 1740 that they could build their own new church.

The building given to the Catholics fell into disrepair and had to be rebuilt in 1770. After only 70 years, this building fell into disrepair and collapsed after the Catholic community here had been declared extinct in 1837. The evangelical congregation was able to build a new church in 1817 through royal grace.

Until 1945 there was the Protestant parish Garzigar, to which 20 localities belonged, including Kamelow (now Polish: Kębłowo Nowowiejskie), Obliwitz (Obliwice), Reckow (Rekowo Lęborskie) and Villkow (Wilkowo Nowowiejskie). Until 1893, Belgard an der Leba (Białogarda) belonged to the parish of Garzigar as a branch church, until a reorganization took place. The place Neuendorf b. Lauenburg (Nowa Wieś Lęborska) remained a subsidiary of Garzigar until 1945, with 1500 parishioners at last, whose parish in 1940 had a total of 3100 parishioners. It belonged to the parish of Lauenburg (Lębork) in the eastern district of the church province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .

After 1945 the denominational situation in Garczegorze changed. A predominantly Catholic population has lived here ever since. The St. Mary Magdalene Church became the parish church of a parish to which the places Darżkowo ( Darschkow ), Janisławiec ( Johannisthal ), Janowice ( Groß Jannewitz ), Janowiczki ( Klein Jannewitz ), Obliwice ( Obliwitz ), Pogorszewo ( Puggenschow ), Rozgorzewo ( Puggenschow ), Rosgars ) and Wilkowo ( Villkow ) belong. The parish is located in the deanery Łeba ( Leba ) in the Pelplin diocese of the Catholic Church in Poland . Evangelical church members living here are assigned to the parish of the Kreuzkirche parish Słupsk ( Stolp ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland , which maintains a branch church in Lębork ( Lauenburg in Pomerania ).
