history

Lędowo (formerly also Lynow ) was a Gutsdorf, which in the form of a line village had been applied. In 1355 Friedrich Krümmel received the estates Dünnow, Lindow, Muddel, Horst and Starkow as fiefdoms in return for giving his village Sylcksdorf to the ducal house. After 250 years, the sex of the Krümmel became extinct. The villages of Dünnow, Lindow and Muddel fell to members of the Below family in 1610 , who owned them until 1843. In 1766, Lindow came into the temporary possession of Lorenz Wilhelm von Gottberg , who had bought it from Martin Heinrich von Below auf Dünnow for twenty years. Around 1784, Lindow included a farm, five farmers, a farm that was specially leased, a kossate and a fisherman in Muddel, two kosses in Dünnow, a schoolmaster and a total of 19 households. On November 9, 1843, Karl Friedrich Wilhelm von Below sold the Dünnow, Lindow and Muddel estates to the landowner Otto Frankenstein. Before 1849 Lindow had 187 inhabitants. Alfred Herzog von Croÿ (1789–1861) acquired the three estates from Frankenstein in 1857 . Frankenstein was then the tenant of the three estates he managed. In 1876 Lindow was separated from the Schlawe district and incorporated into the Stolp district. The leasing of the three estates was continued after Frankenstein by his son-in-law, the economist Leo Scheunemann, who managed all three estates himself. His eldest son, Bernhard Scheunemann, who managed the property from July 1, 1904 until 1945, followed as the lessee.

In 1925 there were 26 residential buildings in Lindow. In 1939 there were 171 inhabitants living in 47 households. In addition to the last 250 hectare estate, there were 15 other farms in Lindow.

Before the end of the Second World War , the village of Lindow belonged to the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the Pomeranian province . The parish area was 368 hectares. Lindow was the only place of residence in the municipality of Lindow.

Towards the end of World War II , Lindow was occupied by a mounted unit of the Soviet Army on March 8, 1945 . On April 6, 1945, the Soviet troops had all cattle, a total of around 700 sheep and 350 cows, removed. At the end of 1946, the Poles began to occupy the homesteads; the estate remained unoccupied until 1947. The German villagers were gradually driven out. Lindow was renamed Lędowo .

Later, 71 villagers displaced from Lindow in the Federal Republic of Germany and 54 in the GDR were identified.

Today the village has about 40 inhabitants.

Before 1945, Lindow had its own elementary school. In 1932 this school was single-stage; at that time a single teacher was teaching 35 school children here.
