Kosierzewo (German Kusserow ) is a village in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship and belongs to the rural community Malechowo ( Malchow ) in the Powiat Sławieński ( Schlawe district ).

Geographical location

Kosierzewo is located in Western Pomerania , eight kilometers south of the district town of Sławno . Neighboring towns of Kosierzewo are: in the south and west Ostrowiec ( Wusterwitz ) with Baniewo ( Banow ), in the north Kwasowo ( Quatzow ) and in the east - beyond the Rakówka ( Krebsbach ) - Gwiazdowo ( Quäsdow ) and Janiewice ( Jannewitz ).

Kosierzewo lies in the glacial valley of the Rakówka, about 65 meters above sea level. The highest elevation in the Feldmark is the - formerly known as - Hahnenkräh on the border to Kwasowo with 82 meters.

history

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1230 as it was owned by the Order of St. John in Schlawe. In 1273, the church of Schlawe, then named after Jocobus, was endowed with eleven villages by the Camminer Bishop Hermann von Gleichen , including Kusserow. The Order of St. John had the patronage of this church . In the 15th century the Johanniter sold it to other properties in Central Pomerania.

In 1472 Kusserow was one of the villages that Peter von Glasenapp exchanged for the Pomeranian Duke Erich II for the town and country of Pollnow. Between 1756 and 1776 the von Ramel are named as owners. In 1776 Kusserow then belongs to the Count von Münchow , who also owned the neighboring village of Quatzow (Kwasowo). In 1797 Ernst Heinrich Bogislaw von Bonin took over the village from the Naseband house , whose descendants passed the estate on to the von Below zu Saleske family in 1881 , whose grandson Hans-Joachim Görlitz was the  last landlord on Kusserow - even if only for a few months.

In 1818 there were 229 inhabitants in Kusserow. Their number rose to 394 by 1905 and was even 425 in 1939.

Before 1945, Kusserow belonged to the district and registry office district Quatzow and district court area Schlawe in the district of Schlawe i. Pom. in Administrative district Köslin of Pomerania Province .

On February 26, 1945 the first troops reached the Red Army the Grabow (Grabowa). Many residents fled. On March 4, the Kusserower trek left the village in an easterly direction and reached Danzig . The residents were forced to return home to their village, where they had to work in the state estate, first under Russian and then Polish administration.

After the Second World War , Kusserow, like all of Western Pomerania, was placed under Polish administration. The Poles gave the village the name Kosierzewo .

The village is now part of the Gmina Malechowo in the Powiat Sławieński of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Köslin Voivodeship ). In 2012, about 263 people lived in Kosierzewo.

Parish

Before 1945 the inhabitants of Kusserow were almost without exception Protestant denominations. The village formed its own parish , which, however, was part of the Quatzow parish (Kwasowo). It belonged to the church district Schlawe of the church province Pomerania of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union .

In 1940 there were 400 parishioners in the Kusserow parish. The church patronage was exercised by the landowner Marie Görlitz, née von Below , until her death in 1944 ; after her - as the last landlord on Kusserow - her son Hans-Joachim Görlitz for a few months . The last German clergyman was Pastor Walter Paul . The Protestant church members living in Kosierzewo today belong to the parish Koszalin ( Köslin ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Mostly Catholic residents have lived in Kosierzewo since 1945 . Today the village is the service station of the parish Ostrowiec ( Wusterwitz ) in the deanery Sławno in the diocese of Köslin-Kolberg of the Catholic Church in Poland .

Village church

The Kusserower Church is a simple building made of bricks and field stones with a west tower. Millstones are walled into the west side. The year the church was founded is not known.

Before 1945 the altar bore a depiction of the crucifixion of Jesus and the coat of arms of Ernst Ramell (2nd half of the 17th century). The pulpit was supported by a figure of Peter , and figures of the four evangelists were placed in front of the parapet. A baptismal bowl dates from 1692.

school

The two-class school with an extension from 1930 with two teacher's apartments stood at the southern end of the village. The last headmasters were the teachers Jagsch , Gliewe , Quade and Hintze .
