Geographical location

Gardna Wielka is located in Western Pomerania on the south bank of Lake Garda , one of the largest beach lakes in Pomerania . The ridge on which the village lies is considered to be an intermediate moraine that extends directly up to the lake. It is five kilometers to Smołdzino , the center of the municipality, and the district town of Słupsk ( Stolp ) is 25 kilometers away.

history

Groß Garde emerged from the villages of Garde and Kerske (or Kierske). The western part of the village was called Garde, the eastern part Kerske. Garde, formerly Gardna , an old church village, is already mentioned in a document from 1284, with which Duke Mestwin II confirmed the donations made by his father Swantopolk II for the St. Stanislaus Church to Guard.

Around 1784 there was a preacher, an organist, a few fishermen as well as craftsmen and day laborers in the church village of Groß Garde. Together with Kerske, the village had 70 inhabitants who lived in 48 households. The inhabitants were originally mostly Protestant Kashubians or Slovins . Kashubian was still used for preaching and teaching until 1827, and the transition to the German language was only gradual. In 1905, however, there was no one who spoke Kashubian. The small fishing village had become completely German.

In 1925, Groß Garde had 1,295 residents who lived in 243 houses. The population was 1,290 in 1933 and increased to 1,309 by 1939.

Until 1945 Groß Garde belonged to the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the province of Pomerania . The competent district court was that in Stolp .

Towards the end of the Second World War , the Great Guard was occupied by the Red Army on March 9, 1945 . After the region and the whole of Western Pomerania were placed under Polish administration after the end of the war, Poles came to the Groß Garde in September 1945 and displaced the Germans from their houses and apartments. The property of the villagers was confiscated by the Poles . The villagers were then driven out of the Groß Garde in several stages, which lasted until 1947 .

Later, 617 villagers displaced from Groß Garde in the Federal Republic of Germany and 372 in the GDR were identified.

Since 1945 under Polish administration, the place was an independent municipality until 1954 and has since been part of the rural municipality Smołdzino in the Powiat Słupski of the Pomeranian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Slupsk Voivodeship ). 800 people now live here.

The neo-Gothic church, now called Nawiedzenia NMP , dates from the 15th century and stands on the site of an older church from the 13th century. It was rebuilt in the 17th century and in 1842.

Parish

Until 1945, most of the population was of Protestant denomination. Groß Garde was a church village and parish also for the parish of Gambin . The villages Dominke (Dominek), Klein Garde (Gardna Mała), Kuhnhof (Komnino), Lankwitz (Łękwica), Rotten (Retowo), Stohentin (Stojcino), Wendisch Buckow (1939–45 Buchenstein , Polish: Bukowa), Wittbeck (Czysta), Wittstock (Wysoka) and Wusseken (Osieki Słupskie).

The rectory in Groß Garde burned down twice: in 1692 and on November 27, 1772. Valuable church records and documents were lost each time.

Before 1945, the parish Groß Garde belonged to the parish of Stolp-Altstadt in the eastern district of the church province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . In 1940 there were 2,703 parishioners.

Gardna Wielka has been Catholic almost without exception since 1945 . The village is again a parish, but now incorporated into the Główczyce deanery in the Pelplin diocese of the Catholic Church in Poland . Evangelical church members living here belong to the parish office of the Kreuzkirche in Słupsk ( Stolp ), from which Gardna Wielka is looked after as a separate place of worship (chapel at ul. Pomorska 2). It belongs to the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
