history

The place name Krolow, which comes from Wendish - former spellings Crolow and Crulow - has been used since ancient times and means something like "royal" in Slavonic.

Krolow was originally a Wendish fishing village and later became an estate and farming village. In 1312 the place was first mentioned together with 29 other villages that had to keep the Lütow , a connecting ditch from the Vitter See (Polish: Jezioro Kopań) to the Wipper (Wieprza) open. In 1342 Hermann Smorre the Younger and in 1378 Johann Smorre on Krolow are mentioned. The aristocratic family Smorre belonged to the Kösliner founding community, which in 1312 managed the re-establishment of Rügenwalde on behalf of the Swenzonen .

In 1490 the Princely Councilor Georg Kleist was enfeoffed with half of the village of Krolow, which had previously been owned by the Zitzewitz family for a short time . After that it remains a fiefdom of the von Kleist family , even if other noble families had acquired rights to it at times: u. a. 1542 Paul von Wobeser , 1683 Rüdiger von Manteuffel , 1689 Ernst Bogislaw von Budritzke .

Around 1780 the village had two knightly seats , a water mill, eight farmers, three half-farmers , a quarter- farmer , an inn, a forge and a schoolmaster with a total of 30 households. In 1821 the landlord and rural conditions are regulated. At that time there were 285 inhabitants in Krolow.

In 1827 Major Ludwig von Kleist sold the estate to bailiff Ernst Kratz , who in 1842 sold it to the landowner Krüger . In 1854 Ernst Julius von Puttkamer became the new owner, and in 1910 it was acquired by Count Wilhelm von Zitzewitz on Zitzewitz (Sycewice). In 1936 Georg von Zitzewitz sold the property to the Pomeranian Landgesellschaft with the aim of resettlement, which however did not materialize because of the outbreak of war. In 1939 Krolow had 413 inhabitants.

Until 1945, Krolow belonged to the municipalities of Görshagen (today in Polish: Górsko), Krolowstrand (Królewice, now defunct), Marsow (Marszewo), Schlackow (Złakowo) and Vietzkerstrand (Wicko Morskie) to the administrative district of Schlackow in the Schlawe i district. Pom. in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania . All five communities were united to form the registry office district of Schlackow, while the district court district was Schlawe .

On March 8, 1945 the Red Army occupied the place and set up a command post in the manor house. On January 1, 1947, Krolow was placed under Polish administration. In June, took place the expulsion of residents in the west; they were brought to Thuringia . Krolow was renamed Królewo . In 1975 the village became part of the Slupsk Voivodeship before it was incorporated into the newly formed West Pomeranian Voivodeship in 1999 . In 2013 about 200 people lived here.

Local division until 1945

Before 1945 the municipality of Krolow had four villages or places to live:

  1. Müggenkaten (also Meggenkathen , Polish: Chemkowo), 2.5 kilometers south-east of Krolow on the way to Marsow (Marszewo), a rural business, arose from the sale of fields in 1845
  2. New Krolow (Królewko), 3 kilometers south-east of the district border to Old Kuddezow (Chudaczewo), two farms, originally as Vorwerk from Royal grace funds created in 1790
  3. Scheidelberg (Siodłowo), east of Neu Krolow, on the border with Pennekow (Pieńkowo), four farms, originated like Müggenkaten, although a little earlier
  4. Vietzke (Wicko), no longer existing Vorwerk of the Krolow estate, 2 kilometers northwest of the village on Vietzker See .

church

Krolow - before 1945 a predominantly Protestant place - used to have its own church, which was a branch church in Lanzig (Łącko). In the years 1870/80 the church was demolished and the Krolow people went to the Lanziger church . Lanzig belonged to the church district Rügenwalde in the church province of Pomerania of the church of the Old Prussian Union .

Almost without exception, the population of Królewo has been Roman Catholic since 1945 . The connection between the place and the parish of Łącko still exists. Today it belongs to the deanery Ustka ( Stolpmünde ) in the Koszalin-Kołobrzeg diocese of the Catholic Church in Poland . Protestant church members now belong to the parish office in Słupsk ( Stolp ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Krolow had two schools, one of which was built around 1840. In 1938 a second school building was built and a kindergarten was also housed in the building.
