Neighboring towns of Gorzyca are Nowy Kraków ( Neu Krakow ) and its forest in the north, Malechowo ( Malchow ) in the east, Niemica ( Nemitz ) and Grabowo ( Martinshagen ) in the south , and Przystawy ( Pirbstow ) in the west .

Place name

Gorzyca was called Guritza and Guritz in the 13th century, and Göritz has been in use since the Middle Ages . The name derives from the Slavic word gora = mountain . The name Göritz appeared six times in the German Reich before 1945, as did the Polish name Gorzyca or Górzyca .

history

Göritz was in 1267 by Duke Barnim I the Monastery Buckow given. Since then it has been an ante village that was incorporated into the Rügenwalder office after secularization . In 1784 the village had 1 free schools, 14 farms, 2 country cottages, 3 street cottages, 4 Büdner, 1 sub-forester, 1 school house and 1 church cottage.

In 1818 Göritz had 271 inhabitants, their number rose to 553 by 1871 and in 1939 was 451 (in 111 households).

Until 1945 Göritz belonged to the administrative and civil registry district Malchow (Malechowo) and to the district court area Schlawe . It was in the district of Schlawe i. Pom. in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania .

At that time the village forester's house Göritz , a district forester's office of the New Krakow Forestry Office (Nowy Kraków), two kilometers north of the village, still belonged to the village. In 1938 a new forester's house was built about 300 meters south of the Berlin - Stettin - Danzig - Königsberg (Prussia) railway on the way from Malchow (Malechowo) to Schlawin (Słowino).

On March 6, 1945, Red Army troops marched east through Göritz. Three months later, a Soviet headquarters was set up in the village, from which the lands were cultivated. In 1947 the Polish administration took over the village, which now bears the name Gorzyca and belongs to the Gmina Malechowo in the Powiat Sławieński of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Koszalin Voivodeship ).

church

Before 1945 the inhabitants of Göritz were almost without exception of Protestant denomination. The place was incorporated into the parish Malchow (Malechowo) in the parish of Rügenwalde (Darłowo) in the church province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .

Since 1945 the inhabitants of Gorzyca have been predominantly Catholic . The place is still ecclesiastically oriented towards Malechowo, which, however, now belongs to the Sławno dean's office in the Köslin-Kolberg diocese . Protestant residents living here are integrated into the parish of Koszalin ( Köslin ) of the Pomerania-Greater Poland diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church .

school

The two-class school with a teacher's apartment was in the middle of the village on the Schulberg .
