Maszewo (German Massow ) is a small town in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship , Powiat Goleniowski ( Gollnower Kreis ), with 3,200 inhabitants. An older form of the name of the place is Massau.

geography

The place is in Western Pomerania , halfway between the cities of Gollnow ( Goleniów ) and Stargard . Massow extends on a hill on the Stepnitz ( Stepnica ) river.

history

Massow south of the city of Naugard on a map from 1905.
City Church (13th century)
City Hall Square.

In the 10th and 12th centuries there was a Wendish rampart north of the Stepenitz spring on the so-called Schlossberg , where a Slavic settlement had developed. At the beginning of the 13th century the area must have been desolate, and it was only with the settlement of German immigrants from the west that a new village emerged on the same spot, named after the von Massow family . The new settlement must have developed positively, as it had already acquired an urban character in the second half of the 13th century. The Marienkirche was built as early as 1260. At this time, the diocese of Cammin exercised sovereignty in this area, and so the Camminer Bishop Hermann von Gleichen Massow granted Magdeburg city charter in 1278 , which was converted into Lübisches law in 1286 . In the same year the first city fortifications, which were initially a palisade weir, were built. In the course of the 14th century, the palisades were replaced by a stone wall.

There is little news about Massow from the end of the Middle Ages. It is known that the diocese of Cammin gave up its property rights to Massow in 1454. From 1481 the land of Massow was in pledge possession of the Naugard counts from the von Eberstein family. In 1523 Bogislaw X enfeoffed Count George I with the land and the city of Massow. From 1679 Count Ludwig Friedrich zu Wied was the new master of Massow, after whom his parents, who were born Countess von Eberstein, owned the land and town of Massow as their wedding property. At the end of the 18th century, parts of the city fortifications were removed, only the city wall and a round tower were left standing.

After the end of the Thirty Years' War , Massow and Hinterpommern came under Brandenburg rule and was incorporated into the Naugard-Daber-Dewitz district. After the Prussian administrative reform of 1815, Massow came to the Naugard district and was located there near the southern district border, 20 kilometers from the district town.

At the beginning of the 20th century, around 2800 people lived in the city. It was not until 1903 that Massow was connected to the railway network via the Gollnow – Massow route of the Naugarder Bahnen , which led to the settlement of smaller industrial companies such as a sand-lime brick factory and a brick factory. As a result, new residents moved to the city, which expanded to the northwest.

Around the middle of the 19th century, up to 85 Jewish citizens lived in Massow. Most emigrated afterwards and the census in 1925 only counted 14 Jews in Massow. Until 1938, two Jewish families lived in Massow and they had businesses here. After the Reichskristallnacht they emigrated to the USA.

Towards the end of the Second World War , Massow was occupied by the Red Army in early March 1945 . Shortly afterwards the city was placed under Polish administration. The immigration of Polish civilians began. The German city of Massow was renamed Maszewo . In the following time, the residents were expelled .
