Możdżanowo is located in Western Pomerania , about eleven kilometers southwest of Ustka (Stolpmünde) , 17 kilometers west of Słupsk (Stolp) and seven kilometers from the Baltic coast. The municipality shows a slight incline towards the west, which on the Silberberg (now Polish: Srebrnogóra) reaches the greatest difference in altitude of 62 meters. Mützenow is on a side road from Stolp to Postomino (Pustamin) . The railway station used to be Gallenzin-Saleske, three kilometers away on the Schlawe – Pustamin – Stolpmünde Reichsbahn line.

history

The original Angerdorf once belonged to the Stolp monastery district and was therefore also called the “monastery village”. After the introduction of the Reformation, the properties of the monastery came to the ducal house. At first, however - so it is reported - the Mützenower clung to their old mess priest . When the Stolper Landvogt appointed the Lutheran pastor Joachim Wockenfus as his successor , the villagers were very fond of him: this clergyman was married and thus dispelled all alleged worries about their wives.

1732 a free Schulze, 20 farmers and five were in Mützenow Kossäten counted. In 1784 in Mützenow there was a preacher, a sexton, including the Freischulzen, 19 full farmers , among whom were two parsons who served the local pastor and who had neither rent nor service money to pay to the office, two half farmers , five kossas, among whom were the blacksmith found seven Büdner , a preacher's widow's house and a total of 33 households. In Prussian times the place was initially a royal village of the Stolp office, but a farming village was created due to the peasant liberation.

In 1939 Mützenow had 60 farms. In the same year the place had 393 inhabitants in 93 households with a community area of ​​836 hectares. Until 1945 Mützenow belonged to the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin of the province of Pomerania and formed its own official and registry office district. The village was affiliated with the Stolpmünde gendarmerie area and the Stolp district court district. The last German mayor of the community was Paul Wockenfuß.

On March 8, 1945, the Soviet army penetrated Mützenow, shots were fired and several German and Soviet soldiers died. When the Soviet soldiers left the village in autumn 1945, it was placed under Polish administration. In the course of Polish expropriation measures , the inhabitants were subsequently expelled and replaced by immigrating Poles . Today Możdżanowo is part of the Ustka rural community .

church

The localities Starkow (now Polish: Starkowo ), Gallenzin (Golęcino), Steinwald (Krzemienica) and Scharfenstein (Kolonia Starkowo) were parish into the independent parish of Mützenow . In 1817 Pennekow ( Pieńkowo ), until then part of Pustamin ( Postomino ), became a subsidiary of Mützenow. The pastor at the time, Tischmeyer, was one of the “rationalist” theologians and aroused disaffection and aversion in the community. The Belowsche movement was formed around Pennekower Heinrich von Below , a neo-Pietist awakening movement which, after Pastor Tischmeyer's term of office, did not want to tolerate any newly proposed clergy. The parish remained vacant for four years.

In 1940 the parish Mützenow counted 1000 parishioners. It was incorporated into the church district of Stolp-Stadt (where a superintendent had already been established in 1535 ) of the church province of Pomerania in the Protestant Church of the Old Prussian Union . The church patronage was incumbent on the state authorities.

Today the Protestant part of the population of Możdżanowo belongs to the Parafia ( Parochie ) Słupsk (Stolp) of Kościół Ewangelicko-Augsburski (Luterański) w Polsce ( Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland ).

Since 1945, predominantly Roman Catholic residents have lived in Możdżanowo. The place now belongs - like Zeleskie (Saleske) - as a branch church to the parish (Parafia) Duninowo (Dünnow) , which was established in 1958. It is part of the deanery Ustka (Stolpmünde) in the diocese of Köslin-Kolberg of the Catholic Church in Poland . Pastors no longer live here, but in Duninowo.

Parish church

The first church in Mützenow was built as an outstation of the Stolper und Gallenziner monastery as early as 1356. On June 21, 1374 (on the same day as the village church in Dünnow ) it was consecrated as a baptistery by the Camminer bishop Philipp von Rehberg . In a document from 1490 it is mentioned for the first time as "ecclesia parrochialis ville Mutzenouwe".

In the years that followed, the church was rebuilt several times, for example by adding a southern extension in 1615. The interior features valuable wood carvings, especially on the altar. The windows were colorfully glazed and provided with coats of arms and pictures. A communion chalice that the last Duchess of Pomerania had given the church found honorable use.

After four hundred years as a Protestant church, the church was expropriated after 1945 in favor of the Catholic Church in Poland. On December 15, 1947 she received a new consecration and the naming Kościół św. Bartłomieja, Apostoła ("St. Bartholomew's Church").
