history

Half-timbered church in Alt Kolziglow

It was first mentioned in 1374, when the Pomeranian Duke Casimir IV. Bronisius von Puttkamer gave the place of higher jurisdiction for what was then known as Alt Kolziglow. The von Puttkamer family remained the rule of Alt Kolziglow in the following centuries. On July 28, 1847, Otto von Bismarck , who later became the German Chancellor, and Johanna von Puttkamer were married in the church of Alt Kolziglow .

Until 1637 Alt Kolziglow belonged to the Duchy of Pomerania , then came under Polish rule until 1657, before it came into the hands of Brandenburg . In the course of the Prussian administrative reform, the place was incorporated into the Rummelsburg district in 1816 . In 1885 there were 375 inhabitants, in 1910 there were 440 and in 1939 the population was 1,475.

In 1938 the Reddies community was incorporated into the Alt Kolziglow community.

At the beginning of March 1945, Alt Kolziglow was captured by the Red Army and then placed under Polish administration. Most of the population had fled before the arrival of the Red Army, but initially returned in March 1945. After the grain harvest in 1945, Polish immigrants pushed the German population out of their homes and appropriated the farms including the inventory. They let the German residents work for themselves for some time. In the period from autumn 1945 to autumn 1947, the Polish authorities expelled the German population. A total of 53 civilians from the Alt Kolziglow community lost their lives in connection with the escape and displacement.

Since November 26, 2005, the rural community Kołczygłowy and the town of Rethem (Aller) in Lower Saxony (Germany) have been in partnership.

church

Parish church

The founding year of the first Alt Kolziglow Church is not known, but it will be in the pre-Reformation period. In 1766 a new church is considered. In 1821 it was noticed that the church building was completely dilapidated. The cartridges agree to the necessary construction, and in 1823 the new building is erected, a spacious, bright half-timbered church. Inside there was a pulpit altar, in which an altarpiece from 1600 was installed in the second half of the 18th century.

The village church, now called Kościół Chrystusa Króla ( Christ the King's Church ), burned down inside in 2001. In the following years it was restored and has a new interior that corresponds to a very modern conception of art. In the entrance area of ​​the church there is a bronze relief that commemorates the wedding of Otto von Bismarck ( Schönhausen (Elbe) / Kniephof ) to Johanna von Puttkamer ( Reinfeld ) on July 28, 1847 in this church.

Parish / Parish

Until 1945, Alt Kolziglow was the parish seat of the Protestant parish Alt Kolziglow, to which the two parishes Alt Kolziglow and Lubben (now in Polish: Łubno) were assigned. A total of 29 localities were parochialized:

Until 1871, Alt Kolziglow was the seat of its own church district for a long time, but it was dissolved. After that it belonged to the church district of Bütow (Bytów) in the eastern district of the church province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The patronage of the church was last held by the manor owners von Puttkamer (Barnow), Count von Bismarck (Reinfeld), Freiherr von Puttkamer (Lubben) and the part owners of the former manor Lindenbusch.

The cripple and nursing home created in 1899 , whose founder was the pastor widow Elisabeth Trantow, nee von Wietersheim, was significant for the church and town of Alt Kolziglow .

A predominantly Roman Catholic population has lived in Kołczygłowy since 1945 . There is now a parish that is assigned to the Bytów deanery in the Pelplin diocese of the Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant parishioners will be looked after by the parish office in Słupsk ( Stolp ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
