Place name

The place name Kummerow occurred seven times in Pomerania and Brandenburg before 1945; the Kummerow from the novels by Ehm Welk is a fictional place in the Uckermark. Kummerow in the Schlawe district was still spelled as Cummerow in 1913 , and this name comes from a Cummerow family, who probably came from the village of the same name, Kummerow (on the lake) southwest of Demmin , mentioned in a document from 1265 to 1304.

The current Polish name Komorowo stands for 17 villages in Poland.

history

The old Gutsdorf Kummerow is in the 13./14. Century mentioned as property of the von Cummerow . It has been owned by the von Podewils auf Krangen family since the 16th century . The place was actually a farming village, but in the course of regulation, the farmers were relocated to Drenzig and in 1821 an independent estate was formed from the farming country.

Since 1853 the estate has had constantly changing owners, most recently - as a potato seed breeding company - from 1937 to 1945 the Pommersche Saatzucht GmbH.

In 1818 there were 191 people living in Kummerow on an area of ​​1064.8 hectares. By 1885 this number sank to 130 in the also smaller area of ​​743 ha. In 1925 the population was 157.

Until 1945, Kummerow was part of the Bosens community . It belonged to the district of Krangen and the district court area of Schlawe . Kummerow itself was the registry office area, with the registry office itself being outsourced to Drenzig . Kummerow belonged to the district of Schlawe i. Pom. in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania .

On February 27, 1945 all residents fled from the approaching Red Army with 1 tractor and 2 trailers (for children, women and old people) as well as 10–12 horse-drawn carts from the property to Western Pomerania , where they were overrun by the Soviets.

Kummerow came under the name of Komorowo under Polish sovereignty and is now part of the urban and rural municipality Polanów in the powiat Koszaliński of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Koszalin Voivodeship ).
