The Groß-Klonia estate (Wielka Klonia)

The estate had 177 inhabitants in 1820 and around 400 in 1910. The large estate is located in the south of the village. Before 1830 the property belonged to the Polish-nationalist nobleman Hiacenty (Hiacynth) von Kossowski (born 1797), district administrator of the district of Conitz , who took an active part in the Polish November uprising in 1830 with the rank of lieutenant. The Prussian authorities then wanted to bring Kossowski to account for his involvement in the uprising, but the Marienwerder Higher Regional Court decided not to initiate proceedings. After Kossowski's death, the property was advertised for lease in 1846. The following owner was the Prussian nobleman Freiherr Friedrich Hiller von Gaertringen (1803–1873). If an encyclopedia in 1862 said that he had acquired the estate from a "Frau von Quassowski", it is probably a misspelling of the name Kossowski. The then already existing small manor house in Groß-Klonia was extended by Hiller von Gaertringen on the left side and provided with a tower. The large estate park, which still exists today, also dates from this time. The name of the Vorwerk "Wölfferode" to the northeast on the Kamionka River was probably related to the family of origin of Hiller von Gaertringen's wife Emma, ​​née Wölffer (1812–1861). Johanna Hiller von Gaertringen, the eldest of 11 children of the two, married Ludwig Heinrich Guderian (they were the grandparents of the tank general of WWII Heinz Guderian ). After Friedrich Hiller von Gaertringen died in 1873, the descendants sold the manor in the late 1870s. In 1893 it belonged to the manor owner Oskar Aly (1839–1911), chairman of the conservative electoral association for Konitz-Tuchel-Schlochau. Since 1875 the place was in the West Prussian district of Tuchel, which had been newly founded due to a district reform and separated from the Konitz district. After West Prussia was handed over to the Second Polish Republic in 1919, the place belonged to Poland until 1939 and again from 1945, with a brief interlude in World War II, as Groß-Klonia as part of the "Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia" annexed by the German Reich (the place name was to be changed to "Klehnboden" and thus "Germanized"). In 1940 the manager of Wielka Klonia, Leon Litwinski, was murdered in the Stutthof concentration camp .
