Janiewice (German Jannewitz ) is a village in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship and belongs to the Gmina Sławno ( Schlawe ) in the Powiat Sławieński .

Geographical location

The old farming village of Janiewice is located eleven kilometers southeast of the district town of Sławno, nestled between Bagno Ostrowiec ( Wusterwitzer Moor ) and Jezioro Łętowskie ( Lantower Lake ). Three side streets meet in the village, coming from Pomiłowo ( Marienthal ), Żukowo ( Suckow ) and Krąg ( Krangen ). Until 1945 there was a connection to the Reichsbahn line Schivelbein - Gramenz - Bublitz - Pollnow - Zollbrück via the Suckow station .

Neighboring towns of Janiewice are: in the north Brzeście ( Hohenzollerndorf ), in the east Łętowo ( Lantow ), in the south Osowo ( Wussow ) and Podgóry ( (Wendisch) Puddiger ) (both already in the Pomeranian Voivodeship ) and in the west Ostrowiec ( Wusterwitz ).

The Janiewice field marrow reaches a height of 70 meters above sea level, is hilly and overgrown with small forests. In the west are the meadows in the glacial valley of the Rakówka ( Krebsbach ).

Place name

The place name is likely to be derived from the first name Jan , which is the Low German and Slavonic form of Johannes . Janewic is "the son of John". It is not known which namesake the place name goes back to.

history

Janiewice is said to be of Wendish origin. Even in the early days it had a closed town center around the village pond. Jannewitz (as well as the nearby places Varzin (Polish: Warcino) and Beßwitz (Biesowice)) is an old Zitzewitz fief . The first proven owner on Jannewitz is Martin von Zitzewitz from 1442 to 1460. In the 16th century, the place with 25 farmers, 1 kossaten , 1 sexton belongs to Jacob von Zitzwitz .

In the Thirty Years' War Jannewitz was almost completely destroyed. In the period from 1679 to 1690 it was therefore sold piece by piece to Adam von Podewils on cranes . At the beginning of the 19th century, the estate was owned by the von Blumenthal family . This sold it in 1874 to the Prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen , who had the surrounding goods in his possession Suckow (Żukowo) and Lantow (Łętowo) and Quäsdow (Gwiazdowo) administered from Jannewitz.

The profitability of the goods could not be maintained in the following decades. So it was decided to relocate the agricultural areas.

The population of the Jannewitz community rose steadily: if 194 people lived here in 1818, there were 619 in 1867, 649 in 1895, and 730 in 1939. Now 529 people live in Janiewice, Poland.

The size of the district of Jannewitz before 1945 totaled 2870.5 hectares. At that time the place belonged to the district and registry office district Suckow and the district court area Schlawe. He was in the district of Schlawe i. Pom. in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania . On March 5, 1945, the Jannewitzers fled towards Stolpmünde from the approaching Red Army . But after Alt Schlawe the trek was overrun, looted and forced to return home. Jannewitz was as Janiewice part of the Polish Gmina Sławno in the Powiat Sławieński of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Slupsk Voivodeship ).
