Geographical location

The farming village of Karnieszewice is located one kilometer north of the national road 6 ( Europastraße 28 ) Stettin - Köslin - Danzig (until 1945: Reichsstraße 2 ) on a connecting road that leads via Wierciszewo ( Wandhagen ) and Bielkowo ( Beelkow ) to Darłowo ( Rügenwalde ). Until 1945 it was the second largest, in terms of extension the most extensive district in the Schlawe i. Pom. , which came here on the border of the district of Köslin : in north-south direction the extension is about 12 kilometers.

In the north, the Stargard railway in Pomerania - Danzig runs through the municipality, the nearest railway station is Skibno ( Schübben-Zanow ); in the south, the side road from Sianów ( Zanow ) to Polanów ( Pollnow ) cuts through the area. The whole community area is drained by the Polnica ( Pöllnitzbach ), which rises in the lake area near Sowinko ( Neu Zowen ), into the Jezioro Jamno ( Jamunder Lake ).

Neighboring communities of Karnieszewice are: in the west Skibno ( Schübben ), in the north Wierciszewo ( Wandhagen ) and Wiekowice ( Wieck ), to the east Dąbrowa ( Damerow ) Sieciemin ( Zitzmin ) and Ratajki ( Ratteick ), and in the south Szczeglino ( Steglin ) and Węgorzewo Koszalińskie ( Vangerow ).

The main part of the district is taken up by two large forest areas, which "frame" the agricultural area of ​​the village in the north and south.

Place name

The origin of the name is not known. There used to be the form of the name Carnesiewitz and the Low German name Karnwitz .

history

In 1267 the Buckow monastery received the village of Karnkewitz together with Böbbelin (now Polish: Bobolin), Göritz (Gorzyca) and Preetz (Porzecze). Eight years later, Prince Wizlaw II of Rügen and Duke Mestwin II of Pommerellen confirmed this ownership to the monastery with other villages in identical documents. But this was probably not the whole village of Karnkewitz, because in 1372 Albertus Szlecze (from a noble family to which Detlef von Schlezen , who was named ducal bailiff of Alt Schlawe (Sławsko) in 1271 ), sold the village to the monastery for 200 Mark coins.

After the dissolution of the Buckow monastery at the time of the Reformation in 1535, the abbey village of Karnkewitz came to the Rügenwalder office.

Around 1780 Karnkewitz had: 10 farmers, 1 Schulze, 1 sexton, 1 Büdner , 1 Unterforester, 1 Schulzenkaten, 1 Shepherd's cottage and a total of 16 fire places. At that time it was due to a "mediocre" lake.

On the night of May 7th to 8th, 1801, a large fire laid down the church, sexton, forestry and all farms, with the exception of two colonist farms on the lake. It was arson by a 57-year-old man from Rußhagen (Rusko), who was then sentenced to death by fire . This sentence was carried out on July 2, 1802 and is said to have been the last cremation in Pomerania . For a long time people spoke of the fire stake at Karnkewitz.

In 1818 there were 211 inhabitants in the village. By 1871 this number rose to 476, and in 1939 there were 479 residents - almost unchanged.

Until 1945, several residential areas and settlements were attached to the village: Achteklitz, Grünebaum (Polish: Grace), Hundsberg, Forsthaus Neu Zitzmin (formerly Forsthaus Zwölfhufen, Polish: Siecieminek), paper factory or Hammerdorf, Seehof (Plonka, no longer existent), Forsthaus Steinbrink and Gut Zwölfhufen (Przytok). The last mayors of Karnkewitz were Johannes Wetzel (1923–1935) and Fritz Manske (1935–1945).

After the invasion of Russian troops on March 3, 1945, the expulsion of the German residents took place under the same inhumane circumstances as everywhere. As a result of the war , Karnkewitz came under Polish administration and was then called Karnieszewice. Today it belongs to the Gmina Sianów in the Powiat Koszaliński of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Koszalin Voivodeship ). Today the place has 300 inhabitants.

Office / registry office

Until 1945 Karnkewitz formed its own administrative district in the district of Schlawe i. Pom. in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania .

Karnkewitz and the villages of Schübben (Skibno) and Kluss (Kłos) were part of the town of Zanow (Sianów). Before 1945 the registry office documents show considerable gaps and are in the registry office I in Berlin and in the state archive in Koszalin ( Köslin ).

church

Parish

Before 1945 the inhabitants of Karnkewitz were almost exclusively of Protestant denomination. The village had been incorporated into the Abtshagen parish (now in Polish: Dobiesław) since 1580 and, after the establishment of its own village church, formed an independent parish branch parish, to which 500 parish members belonged in 1939. The parish Abtshagen belonged to the parish of Rügenwalde in the church province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The last German clergyman in Abtshagen was Pastor Friedrich Jahn. The church registers of Karnkewitz from the time before 1945 that are still in existence are in the Koszalin State Archives ( Köslin ).

Today the population of Karnieszewice almost without exception belongs to the Catholic Church in Poland . Parish seat is now Sieciemin ( Zitzmin ). The parish of Sieciemin belongs to the deanery Sławno ( Schlawe ) in the diocese of Koszalin-Kołobrzeg ( Köslin-Kolberg ) and has around 1,600 parishioners. The Protestant church members still living here are looked after by the Koszalin parish in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg (i.e. Lutheran) Church in Poland .

Village church

Karnkewitz had its own church, which was assigned to the mother church in Abtshagen . It was a simple half-timbered building with a wooden bell tower on the roof, built in 1803 by Martin Karsten , as the inscription on the organ gallery said. The previous church burned down with most of the houses in the village due to arson in 1801.

school

There was a school in Kanrkewitz as early as 1780. It developed into a two-tier educational institution with two teachers. The last German teachers before 1945 were Otto Kruckow (until 1924), Hans Tappendorf (1924–1931) and Kurt Küster with Otto Beilfuss (after 1931).
