Gleźnowo ( German Steinort, district of Schlawe / Pomerania ) is a village in the rural community (Gmina) Darłowo ( Rügenwalde ) in the district of Sławno ( Schlawe ) in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship .
Geographical location
The farming village is located in Western Pomerania , about 15 kilometers southwest of the Baltic Sea town of Rügenwalde ( Darłowo ) and 27 kilometers west of Schlawe ( Sławno ).
To place leading the Baltic Sea - coastal road , as provincial road # 203. The cities of Koszalin ( Koszalin ), Darłowo ( Rügenwalde ) and Ustka ( Ustka connects). The nearest train station is Wiekowo ( Alt Wieck ) on the Stargard Szczeciński – Gdańsk railway line .
The village is located on a wide, almost flat valley of Lake Buckow ( Jezioro Bukowo ), only a few meters above sea level. In the south lies the municipality of Bielkowo ( Beelkow ), in the southeast the village Dobiesław ( Abtshagen ), in the east Boryszewo ( Büssow ) and in the northeast Bukowo Morskie ( Lake Buckow ).
Originally the village was one or two kilometers further north to Buckower See. Storm surges with water ingress from the Baltic Sea forced the farms to be relocated further inland. The last breakthrough of the Baltic Sea took place in 1836, previously in 1804.
Place name
The new Polish name "Gleźnowo" corresponds to the old Wendish name form " Glesenowe ". A direct translation of this word is the German name " Steinort ". After the storm surge of 1804, there was an internal distinction between the village districts "Alt-" and "Neu Steinort".
history
The village of Steinort was probably settled from the Buckow monastery around 1300 . In 1275, Prince Wizlaw II of Rügen and Duke Mestwin II of Pomerellen confirmed the monastery's possessions. Glesenowe is also mentioned in a corresponding document .
After the Reformation in Pomerania in 1535 , the previous monastery village became part of the Rügenwalde office . In 1550, Duke Barnim IX attacks . from Pomerania in favor of the fishermen from Steinort and Neuwasser (Polish: Dąbki) because the Rügenwalder Amt had banned them from selling their fish in the Baltic Sea city.
In 1784 there were 10 farmers, 2 country farmers, 5 Büdner and 1 schoolmaster in Steinort. In 1818 there were 251 people living here. The population is 597 in 1871, but falls to 498 by 1939. Together with the municipalities of Böbbelin (Bobolin), Büssow (Boryszewo), Neuwasser (Dąbki), Lake Buckow (Bukowo Morskie) and Lake Suckow (Żukowo Morskie), Steinort forms the until 1945 District of Büssow in the district of Schlawe i. Pom. These communities (with the exception of See Suckow) also represent the registry office district Büssow with its seat in See Buckow.
On March 5, 1945, the town was occupied by Soviet troops. The population was initially expelled , but then brought back to work at the See Buckow State Estate. Then Steinort, like all of Western Pomerania, was placed under Polish administration. Steinort received the Polish place name Gleźnowo . In the following years the local villagers were from Steinort sold .
The place is now part of Gmina Darłowo in the powiat Sławieński in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 in the Köslin Voivodeship ).
church
The house of worship for the mostly Protestant residents of Steinort until 1945 was the See Buckow village church . Together with Steinort, the communities Büssow , Neuwasser and See Buckow as well as the (later parish to Petershagen ) branch community Pirbstow (today Polish: Przystawy) belonged to the parish See Buckow, which was in the church province of Pomerania of the Protestant Church of the Old Prussian Union . The last German clergyman was Pastor Waldemar Kniess. After his sudden death on December 31, 1945, Ms. Elfriede Lange was responsible for church support for Germans with Russian and Polish permission.
Today the inhabitants of Gleźnowo are predominantly Catholic . The few Protestant parishioners are now cared for by the Koszalin ( Köslin ) parish in the Pomeranian-Greater Poland diocese of the Polish Evangelical-Augsburg (i.e. Lutheran) Church .
school
A schoolmaster is mentioned in Steinort as early as 1784. From 1840 to 1882, when the two districts of Alt- and Neu Steinort were separated, each had its own school. In 1910 the two-class school with teachers' apartments was built. The last German school owner in Steinort before 1945 was teacher Heinrich Menke.
