Gościszewo (German: Braunswalde ) is a village in the Sztum municipality , Stuhm / Powiat Sztumski district in Poland. It is located near the Nogat between the towns of Sztum ( Stuhm ) and Malbork ( Marienburg ) in the Pomeranian / Pomeranian Voivodeship .

history

Braunswalde was first mentioned in a document in 1284. Gerhard, the Schulze of "Brunswalde", was named as a witness on December 18, 1284 in the hand festival for Konradswalde. The village had kulmischen right and counted a total of 53 hooves , of which 6 Schulzen and 4 parish hooves. At the end of the 14th century, 14 Scot interest had to be paid for every farmer's hoof on Martini . The community also owned two Hufen on the Nogat , for which two marks and a pound of saffron had to be paid at Pentecost . At the beginning of the 15th century, two jugs are mentioned in Braunswalde in addition to the gardeners "Jorge and Herman". One pitcher paid 2 marks 2 scot interest, the second 2.5 marks. The Kruger "Pomerel der kreczmer" and "Czipezer" are mentioned. In 1407 the Braunswald Krüger were called Heynrich Scholcze and Kuncze Girlach.

Between 1466 and 1772

In 1565 there were 18 farmers on 43 Hufen in “Brunswald”. In addition to a jug, a church is also mentioned for the first time. In 1615, however, the number of farmers in Braunswalde had dropped to 6. Two years earlier, eight Hufen had been prescribed to the Mayor of Marienburg, Abraham Werner, for 60 years free of duties and services. In 1624 7 farmers cultivated 14 Hufen land in Braunswalde. In addition, two gardeners and two Kruger lived in the village. 21 hooves were not cultivated. The “brick church” mentioned in 1624 was destroyed in the Polish-Swedish war in 1626 - as was the entire village. In 1647 the village and the church no longer existed. In 1664 it is still said that there have been no buildings in Braunswalde since the Swedish-Polish War (1626–1629) . The repopulation of the village apparently did not begin until the late 1660s. In 1669 the desolate Schulzenhufen were rewritten to Hans Hintz. In 1681 Braunswalde was incorporated into the parish of Stuhm.

In the Kingdom of Prussia 1772–1918

In 1772 Braunswalde fell to the Kingdom of Prussia with the first partition of Poland . The Prussian land survey of 1772/73 allows for the first time more precise insights into the social structure of the village. At that time Braunswalde had 260 residents, including two Schulzen, 13 farmers, a Kruger, two leaseholders, ten owners, a blacksmith, two shoemakers and two shepherds. By 1820 the population of Braunswald had grown to 368. This made it one of the largest villages in the Stuhm district, founded in 1818, in the Marienwerder administrative district . In the 19th century Braunswalde profited from the expansion of the traffic routes in West Prussia . The Marienburg-Stuhm-Marienwerder road was built between 1844 and 1847. It also led through Braunswalde; There was a toll collection point in the village. The Weichselstädtebahn from Marienburg to Thorn , which was opened in 1883 , also ran over the area of ​​the community of Braunswalde, which thus received its own train station. In 1874 an Iron Age burial ground with 3,000 graves was discovered in the northwest of Braunswalde on the border to the neighboring village of Willenberg. After the place of discovery, the archaeological culture was named Braunswalde-Willenberg culture until 1945 .

In 1905 Braunswaldes population had increased to 900, of which 633 were Catholics (70%) and 257 Protestants (28%). 605 inhabitants (67%) stated German as their mother tongue, 290 Polish (32%).

Between 1918 and 2013

In 1920 Braunswalde was part of the Marienwerder voting district , in which the population was to decide in a plebiscite about the state affiliation of the region. In Braunswalde, of the 579 votes cast, 500 (86%) were in East Prussia (Germany) and 79 (14%) in Poland. This left the village as well as most of the Marienwerder voting district with the German Reich. In autumn 1920 Braunswalde became known nationwide due to a railway accident. On November 22nd, a passenger train coming from Stuhm hit a stationary freight train near Braunswalde. The accident claimed more than 20 lives. Braunswalde received a Catholic church again in the twenties. The wooden church building was still a branch church of the Catholic parish of Stuhm. The NSDAP local branch in Braunswalde was founded at the end of the 1920s . It had 23 members in 1930 and 91 members in 1934/35. The population of Braunswald rose from 977 people (1925) to 999 (1933) to 1,000 (1939) and 1,122 (1943).

In 1945 Braunswalde was occupied by the Soviet army and partially destroyed. The German residents were expelled in the post-war period unless they had fled beforehand. Braunswalde was given the new name Gościszewo. In 2013 the village is part of the gmina Sztum.
