Place name

In the district of Stolp there were two rural communities with the name " Karstnitz " until 1937 . They were differentiated by the addition of "Wendisch" and "German". German Karstnitz was called Karstnitz (without addition) from 1938 , while Wendisch Karstnitz was renamed "Ramnitz" (now in Polish: Karznica ).

history

According to the type of settlement, Karżniczka is a small alley village .

In 1493 and 1538 Deutsch Karstnitz appeared in the possession of the von Bandemer family . In 1546, Duke Barnim IX of Pomerania-Stettin enfeoffed the theologian Bartholomäus Schwave , who was his governor at Bütow at the time, with Deutsch Karstnitz. Later it became a fief of the noble family Wobeser together with the neighboring manor gasoline and then came to the noble family von Hebron .

Daniel Dietrich von Hebron zu Damnitz sold Deutsch Karstnitz and gasoline in 1686 to Georg Lorenz von Puttkamer . Thus Deutsch Karstnitz became a new fiefdom of the noble Puttkamer family and remained in their possession for 259 years. The next landlord was Bogislaw Ulrich von Puttkamer , who had initially inherited Deutsch Karstnitz and petrol together with his brother, but received both after a settlement concluded in 1714.

Around 1784 Deutsch Karstnitz had a Vorwerk , a grain mill, a cutting mill, four Kossaten , a schoolmaster, also the Vorwerk Grünhof, with a total of 18 households.

In 1905 Deutsch Karstnitz had 225 inhabitants. Their number rose to 562 by 1933 and was still 532 in 1939. Until 1945 it was a rural community in the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the province of Pomerania . The village was incorporated into the official, registry office and gendarmerie district of Hebrondamnitz (Damnica). The parish area was 965 hectares. There were three places of residence in the municipality of Karstnitz:

  • Karstnitz
  • Grünhof
  • Crane yard

In 1925 there were 30 residential buildings in Deutsch Karstnitz.

Towards the end of World War II , Karstnitz was occupied by the Red Army on March 8, 1945 . A trek with villagers from Karstnitz, which had set out towards Danzig Bay, was overrun by Soviet troops and was forced to turn back. The family of the landowner Bogislaw von Puttkamer managed to escape by ship across the Baltic Sea. Although all of Western Pomerania was placed under Polish administration after the end of the war, it was not until October 1951 that the Soviet troops gave up Karstnitz and left it to the Poles.

159 Karstnitz villagers were later identified in the Federal Republic of Germany and 34 in the GDR .

The village is now part of the Gmina Damnica in the powiat Słupski in the Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Stolp Voivodeship ). Around 400 people live here today.

church

Before 1945 the inhabitants of Karstnitz were predominantly of Protestant denomination. The village belonged to the parish of Sageritz (today Polish: Zagórzyca) in the church district of Stolp-Altstadt in the church province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .

The Catholic parish in charge before 1945 was in Stolp (Słupsk).

The majority of the population of Karżniczka has been Catholic since 1945. The place still belongs to Zagórza ( Sageritz ), where the church is now called Św. Józef (St. Joseph) carries. It is located in the Główczyce deanery in the Pelplin diocese of the Catholic Church in Poland . Protestant church members living here are looked after by the parish office of the Kreuzkirche in Słupsk ( Stolp ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

school

As early as 1784 there was a schoolmaster in Deutsch Karstnitz. Until 1945 there was a single-stage elementary school here with a teacher who last taught 62 school children.

Famous far beyond Karżniczka is the manor house built in the 18th century as a moated castle, which was built in a forest and meadow area on an island. Several generations of the Puttkamer family managed their estate, which last included 966 hectares of land, from here. Before 1945 the castle had valuable interior fittings. It shone brilliantly when the Empress and Queen Auguste Victoria visited it in 1910. In the summer of 1939, the Puttkamer's last family day took place here.

After the Soviet troops had given up Karstnitz in 1951, the castle was confiscated as part of Polish state expropriation measures. First there was a school, then an agricultural advice center. In the 1950s the castle was listed as a historical monument . Various investors took over the property after 1990, but did too little to renovate the building and give it a new purpose.

On November 5, 2009, a fire - probably caused by arson - destroyed the castle. The roof and attic could no longer be saved. The property damage was estimated at around € 500,000. The future of the building has yet to be decided.
