history

Mianowice, was formerly an old fiefdom of the Massow family , who owned the manor as early as 1496. Tönnies Massow was the owner of Mahnwitz in 1555.

In 1738 Kaspar Otto von Massow sold the property to Major Franz Jakob von Zitzewitz . To 1784 there was a Vorwerk , a water mill, seven farmers, two Kossäten , a pitcher, a forge and a schoolmaster at a total of 23 households. In 1803 Mahnwitz was part of the extensive property that Kaspar Heinrich von Zitzewitz left on Dumröse . Ludwig Friedrich von Gottberg , the district administrator of the Stolp district , bought it from his wife on April 1, 1812 , and his son Hans von Gottberg bought it in 1842 . The last owners were members of the Schultz family , the Schultz siblings . In 1938 the manor had an operating size of 1167 hectares.

In 1910 the place had 199 inhabitants. In 1925 there were 13 residential buildings in the village. The number of inhabitants rose to 244 by 1933 and was 232 in 1939.

Until 1945 Mahnwitz was a municipality in the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the province of Pomerania . Mahnwitz was the only place of residence on the 1,190 hectare community area. The village was the seat of the official and registry office district Mahnwitz and belonged to the gendarmerie district Velsow (Wieliszewo) in the district court area of Stolp .

When the Red Army approached in March 1945, the residents of Mahnwitz left the village in panic. A trek led by the mayor set out for Hebrondamnitz (Damnica) and further east, but was run over in Grapitz (Grapice). There was a fight for Mahnwitz himself, and several people died. Poles came to the village as early as July 1945, occupied homesteads and drove out the first villagers. Later, 123 villagers displaced from Mahnwitz were identified in the Federal Republic of Germany and 53 in the GDR . Mahnwitz was placed under Polish administration and renamed Mianowice . For children from families from Mahnwitz and the surrounding area who had stayed behind, there was a five-class German school for several years from 1951/52.

The village is now part of the Gmina Damnica in the powiat Słupski in the Pomeranian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Slupsk Voivodeship ). More than 300 residents now live here.

church

Before 1945 the population of Mahnwitz was predominantly of Protestant denomination. The place was part of the parish Sageritz (today Polish: Zagórzyca), which belonged to the church district Stolp-Altstadt in the eastern district of the church province of Pomerania in the church of the Old Prussian Union .

Mostly Catholic residents have lived in Mianowice since 1945 . There is also the church connection to Zagórzyca ( Sageritz ), where a - now of course Catholic - parish was established. It is part of the Deanery Główczyce ( Glowitz ) in the Pelplin diocese of the Catholic Church in Poland . Evangelical church members living here now belong to the Kreuzkirche parish in Słupsk ( Stolp ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

school

As early as 1784 there was a schoolmaster in Mahnwitz. In the primary school, which was opened in 1932, one teacher taught 43 children.

For the children of backward German families in and around Mianowice there was still a five-class German school for several years after 1951/52.
