history

The local history of Landeck I begins around 1850. In the course of the separation , a dismantling with 24 farms was created on the northern edge of the state forest of the city of Landeck .

Farmers and forest workers soon settled in this street village, who earned a modest prosperity through cattle breeding and arable farming . The population of the place was predominantly Protestant . They went to the church in the neighboring village of Breitenfelde. This could be reached via forest and field paths and 1.5 km away.

The next school was also in Breitenfelde. It has been customary since the village was founded for the residents' children to walk to school together. Since the winter time was accompanied by very sharp drops in temperatures to minus 30 degrees Celsius, some settlers drove the children of the village on a large horse-drawn sleigh to Breitenfelde.

The number of residents rose to 110 in 1905. Many owners owned forests and meadows in Landecker Forst, Remmen and Wiesengrund. In order to improve their livelihood, numerous farmers went to work in the forest in autumn and winter. At the northern end of the Landeck I colony was the Barkriege forestry. This residential area has been preserved to this day and is known as Śródborze .

On January 30, 1945, the soldiers of the Red Army arrived in Landeck I. As a result of this ingestion, all residents lost their existence, as the Soviet power finally burned down all farms in May 1945. Before that, the population had rushed to flee westwards at the end of January 1945.

Some residents who, due to illness, frailty or other reasons, did not flee the approaching front of the Soviets fell victim to the war. On the morning of April 11, 1945, the local farmer Hermann Geffe was executed, who resisted the house arrest and was shot on his property.

The last residents left Landeck I in May 1945. Since then, this place ceased to exist. After the capitulation and the end of the Third Reich, Poles relocated to the Schlochau district moved. The area around Landeck I became overgrown and the remains of the burned down farmsteads were neglected.

Landeck I belonged to the district of Schlochau and with the district initially to the province of West Prussia , from 1919 to the border mark Posen-West Prussia and with its dissolution in 1938 to the province of Pomerania .
