history

The former Gutsdorf Grapitz is, according to its historical village shape, a small alley village . In earlier times it was a fiefdom of the Rexin family . In 1523 a Pawell is called rexin to graptze . By marriage, Grapitz passed to the von Zitzewitz family , and in 1772 it was sold to Captain Kaspar Friedrich von Massow .

To 1784 Grapitz had in Vorwerk , four farmers, four Kossäten , a schoolmaster and the Vorwerk New Grapitz (today Polish: Grapiczki) on a total of 22 fires (homes). From 1818 to 1847 Grapitz was owned by the noble Puttkamer family , then the Wallenius family took over . Christoph Wallenius was the last owner of the Grapitz estate before 1945.

Until 1945 the community was Grapitz with the village of New Grapitz in county Stolp in Administrative district Köslin of the Prussian province of Pomerania . It belonged to the administrative and civil registry district Klein Gluschen (Głuszynko) and in the district court area Stolp . In 1925 there were 21 residential buildings in Grapitz. The parish area was 795 hectares. In 1939 there were 60 households and 274 inhabitants.

Towards the end of the Second World War , Grapitz was occupied by the Soviet Army on March 9, 1945 without a fight and soon afterwards was placed under Polish administration. After that, Poles took possession of the village. The mayor was arrested and the villagers were dispossessed and subsequently evicted . The Soviet troops kept the estate in their possession until 1950.

Later, 108 villagers displaced from Grapitz were identified in the Federal Republic of Germany and 25 in the GDR .

Grapitz was renamed Grapice . The village now belongs to the Gmina Potęgowo in the powiat Słupski in the Pomeranian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Slupsk Voivodeship ). In 2010 the village had 311 inhabitants.
