Krzywań (German Kriwan ) is a village in the municipality of Dębnica Kaszubska in the Powiat Słupski ( Stolp district ) of the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship .

Geographical location

Krzywań is located in Western Pomerania , about eleven kilometers southeast of the town of Słupsk ( Stolp ) and three and a half kilometers north of the church village Dębnica Kaszubska ( Rathsdamnitz ).

history

Krzywań (formerly Criwan ) was a noble estate that the Vormann family owned as a fief. It is said to have been in the possession of this family as early as 1396. The associated village was laid out in the form of a small alley village. Presumably before 1450 it was acquired by Lütcke Massow . The Massow family is said to have gained a foothold in Western Pomerania through this purchase. The Vormann family seems to have redeemed the property. In the 17th century, Lucas von Vormann was on Kriwan, who married Judith von Lettow on June 29, 1635 . In the 18th century, Michael Lorenz von Vormann is named as the owner of the fief. After it went bankrupt, it was handed over to Claus Lorenz von Lettow in a settlement dated November 28, 1735, subject to a right of repurchase. On October 21, 1746, the sons of Michael Lorenz von Vormann renounced their feudal rights, so that the property could henceforth be inherited within the Lettow family. After the death of Claus Lorenz von Lettow, the estate came to his youngest son, Bogislaw Lorenz von Lettow. In 1752 he sold it, including the feudal rights, to Joachim Rüdiger von Massow , District Administrator of the Rummelsburger Kreis. After his death in 1757 the estate passed to his youngest son, Captain Joachim Detloff von Massow. The latter sold the property in 1771 to the mill inspector Caspar Freyschmidt from Stolp. This inherited the estate to the widowed Helena Juliane du Fayee, née von Wobeser . Kriwan sold the latter to Gustav von Gottberg in 1784 for 6,100 thalers for 25 years .

Kriwan Manor

Around 1784 there was a farm in Kriwan, three farmers and two cottages and nine households. In 1841 the estate was sold to the Althen family for 35,000 thalers . Otto von Althen († 1828) had owned the Kriwan and Neufeld estates since 1866.

In 1925 there were 16 houses in Kriwan. In 1939 there were 47 households and 221 residents.

Until 1945 the Kriwan belonged to the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the province of Pomerania . The parish area was 934 hectares. There were two places of residence in the Kriwan district:

  • Hohenfeld
  • Kriwan

In addition to the estate, there was only one farm in Kriwan. Its operating area was five hectares. So Kriwan was a pure estate village. The last owner of the estate before 1945 was Gerhard von Althen.

Towards the end of World War II , Kriwan was occupied by the Soviet Army on March 8, 1945 . In the summer of 1946, Poles took over the village. Kriwan was renamed Krzywań . Almost all of the German villagers were expelled . After 1951/52 there was a German school for several years for the school children of families who had stayed in Kriwan and the surrounding area.

Later 118 villagers from Kriwan were identified in the Federal Republic of Germany and 43 in the GDR .

In 2006 the village had 44 inhabitants.

school

Before 1945, Kriwan had a single-stage elementary school. In 1932 a single person taught 32 school children there.

church

The population present in Kriwan before 1945 was predominantly of the Protestant denomination. In 1925 there were six Catholic residents in the village . In the 18th century Kriwan belonged to the St. Petri Church in Stolp and to the Synod of Stolp-Altstadt. Later the manor village came to the parish of Rathsdamnitz and thus to the parish of Stolp-Stadt. Only the district of Hohenfeld was still subject to the St. Petri Church in Stolp.
