history
The place was mentioned as Camien in 1443 when it was given to Piotr Wołoczko Rokuta (Rokutowicz) of Kłodno's coat of arms. The name literally means stone .
Administratively it belonged to the Polish Chełmer Land of the Ruthenian Voivodeship . A Greek Catholic church was donated or just renovated by the owner Andrzej Ołędzki in the middle of the 18th century.
During the Third Partition of Poland in 1795, Kamień and Western Galicia were annexed to the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire . In 1809 he came to the Duchy of Warsaw and in 1815 to the newly formed Russian-dominated Congress Poland . Significant changes came after 1864. Kamień became a parish in the Powiat Chełmski. After that it was still generally inhabited by the Greek Catholic population. The goods were parceled out from 1874 and many new German farmers settled there, attracted by cheap arable fields. At that time the Kamień Kolonia was founded . From 1877, pastor Rudolf Gundlach lived there, who led the construction of a Protestant church from 1880 to 1881. In 1875 the Greek Catholic Church was abolished, the local church was renamed the Russian Orthodox Church and the Ruthenians were considered Russian by the administration. In 1912, the Chełm governorate with Kamień was spun off from the Vistula and, as an originally Russian country, directly attached to Russia.
After the peace of bread on February 9, 1918, the area is said to belong to the Ukrainian People's Republic , but after the end of the First World War , Kamień became part of Poland. The Lutheran Church was destroyed in the war. In the interwar period, the Orthodox Church was changed to Roman Catholic. In 1921 the village of Kamień in the municipality of Turka had 78 houses with 469 inhabitants, of which 462 declared themselves as Poles and 7 as Ruthenians, according to religion 247 were Roman Catholic, 33 Protestant, 181 other Christians , 8 Jewish. The colony of the same name had 51 houses with 351 inhabitants, of which 247 were Germans, 100 Poles and 4 Ruthenians, there were 249 Lutherans, 77 Roman Catholics, 10 Orthodox and 15 people of the Jewish faith. In 1938, the Protestant pastor in Kamień was Leopold Matz. The parish comprised Protestants in numerous localities southeast of Chelm (see Cholmerländer ).
During the Second World War it belonged to the Lublin district in the Generalgouvernement . The Roman Catholic or former Orthodox church was destroyed in 1939, as was the Protestant church later. From 1940–1942 there was a labor camp for 150 people in Kamień. From 1975 to 1998 Kamień was part of the Chełm Voivodeship . In 1940, most of the local Germans left the village when they were resettled to Wartheland as part of the Hitler-Stalin Pact . The multiculturalism was ended by the Holocaust and the Vistula action .
