Krokowa ( German Krockow , Kashubian Krokòwò ) is a village in the powiat Puck (Putzig) of the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship . The Gmina Krokowa is a rural community that has its headquarters in Krokowa.
Geographical location
The village is located in the former West Prussia , about 20 kilometers west of the Hel ( Hela ) peninsula , 39 kilometers east of the city of Łeba ( Leba ) in Western Pomerania , six kilometers east of Lake Zarnowitz and seven kilometers south of the Baltic Sea .
history
The first documented reference to the place comes from the year 1288. In 1292, in a document from Duke Mestwin II, Krockow is referred to as the property of Gneomar Krockow , which he inherited from his ancestors. From the 13th century until the end of the Second World War , the place was the seat of the Counts of Krockow . In a list of the nobility in Prussia from 1855 are Krockows Kashubians called
In 1309 the village came to the Teutonic Order together with Pomerania . In 1425, the Danzig order commander Conrad von Baldersheim granted Mestwin von Krockow permission to convert his three estates, Krockow , Goschin and Wysoka, into two estates, Krockow and Goschin.
When Prussia was divided into two by the Second Peace of Thorn , the Putziger area with Krockow was assigned to the autonomous Prussian Royal Share under the auspices of the Crown of Poland . By his decree of March 16, 1569 at the Lublin Reichstag, King Sigismund II August unilaterally terminated the autonomy of West Prussia under threat of severe penalties, which is why the sovereignty of the Polish king in this part of the former territory of the Teutonic Order from 1569 to 1772 as foreign rule was felt.
In 1608 the Catholic chapel in Krockow was converted into a Protestant one.
After the first division of Poland under Frederick the Great in 1772 , Krockow came to the Kingdom of Prussia . In 1789, Krockow is referred to as a noble castle, Vorwerk and village with a reformed church and 16 fireplaces (households). In 1864 the manor district Krockow had an area of 1,868.79 acres , within the manor district there were 26 residential buildings and twelve commercial buildings. In 1903 the Putzig – Krockow small railway was opened.
In 1919, the village was Krockow the county Puck in the administrative district of Gdansk the province of West Prussia of the German Reich assigned.
After the First World War , most of the Putzig district, including Krockow, had to be ceded to Poland on January 10, 1920 for the purpose of establishing the Polish Corridor due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty . With the attack on Poland in 1939, the annexed area of the Polish Corridor, in violation of international law , became part of the German Reich . Krockow was assigned to the Neustadt district in West Prussia in the Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia , to which the place belonged until 1945.
Towards the end of the Second World War, the Red Army occupied the region in the spring of 1945 .
