history

Around 1784 Gesorke consisted of a Vorwerk and two Kossaten with a total of three fireplaces. In 1804 the estate was owned by Wilhelm von Bonin , after which it passed to the Hildebrandt family until it finally came to Georg von Boehn, whose son Joachim was the last owner before 1945. In 1938 the estate was 410 hectares in size - 363 hectares of which were arable land and the remainder were pastures, meadows, forest and unpaved land.

In 1910, 89 people lived in the Gesorke estate. The place belonged to the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin of the Prussian province of Pomerania .

With the municipality reform in 1927/28 Gesorke lost its independence and became a village in the municipality of Lojow (now in Polish: Łojewo). In 1937 the place was named Kleinwasser .

After the Russian invasion on March 8, 1945, Poland took possession of the place in the spring of 1946. The place was named Jeziorka and is now part of Gmina Damnica in Powiat Słupski in the Pomeranian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Stolp Voivodeship ). 40 people now live here.
