Place name

A linguistic relationship between the name Kummerzin / Komoczyn and Kummerow / Komorowo can be assumed. Possibly the place names come from the Slavic word "Komornik" = "Einlieger, Kleinlächter" ("Komorne" = "rent, lease"), which would fit well with the history of the village.

history

General

There is little historical information about Komorczyn. It was a farming village belonging to Gust Egsow ( Kczewo ) and a von Kleist fief. In 1549 the von Kleist family redeemed the pledges to the von Below family . 1655/1656 Döring Jacob von Krockow and Joachim Heinrich von Krockow and Christian von Kleist are named as tenants. After a bankruptcy of the possessions of the Privy Councilor Joachim Magnus von Kleist bought Heinrich Albert von Blumenthal in 1734, the von Kleist rule fief shares. In 1773 all of Kummerzin became the property of Joachim Reinhold von Krockow . At that time he had nine farmers and a schoolmaster.

In 1818 there were 85 inhabitants in Kummerzin. Their number rose to 230 by 1895 and then dropped to 168 by 1939.

Until 1945 Kummerzin was a place in the district of Schlawe i. Pom. in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania . It belonged to the district of Besow (Bzowo), also to the registry office Besow, and to the district court area Schlawe .

On March 8, 1945, the Red Army occupied the village. The population had to work on the neighboring estates. Gradually the Poles took over the administration of the place, and on Christmas Day 1946 the German population was evacuated to Erfurt in Thuringia . Kummerzin was called Komorczyn and is now part of the Gmina Kobylnica in the Powiat Słupski of the Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Slupsk Voivodeship ).
