history

The village was laid out in the Middle Ages in the Duchy of Pomerania in the form of a corner line village.

The first written mention of the village comes from the year 1281. At that time, the Camminer bishop Hermann von Gleichen determined the parish and the income of the newly founded church in Zernin . The bishop allocated income from Mechenthin to the church in Zernin, but at the same time stated that Mechenthin should continue to be parish in Degow .

In 1314, the Camminer bishop Heinrich von Wacholz sold land in Mechenthin to the Kolberger cathedral chapter with the consent of the Camminer cathedral chapter 4 Hufen . This share of ownership in Mechenthin remained in the possession of the Kolberg Cathedral Chapter until it was dissolved in 1811. With the abolition of the Kolberg cathedral chapter in 1811, this share in Mechenthin was assigned to the Kolberg office .

In any case, from the 16th century onwards, the greater part of Mechenthin was owned by the noble Paxlaff family . At the beginning of the 18th century, the family divided their share into an upper estate (Mechenthin A) and a lower estate (Mechenthin B). The owner of the obergut went bankrupt, the obergut came in 1775 to the secret finance councilor Friedrich Wilhelm von Gerlach (* 1711; † 1780), after his death to his heirs and finally in 1792 to his younger son, chamber president Carl Friedrich Leopold von Gerlach alone .

In the second half of the 18th century, at least before 1787, the Paxlaff family, who had continued to own the Niedergut, died out. The two ownership shares were later reunited and Mechenthin was then repeatedly sold.

On the Lubin map of the Duchy of Pomerania from 1618, the place is recorded as Mochentin .

In the first half of the 19th century, the separation (separation) between landlord and peasant property was carried out. The manor district of Mechenthin on the one hand and the rural community of Adlig Mechenthin on the other hand emerged. The manor district Mechenthin comprised 347 hectares of land, the rural community Adlig Mechenthin a municipal area of ​​83 hectares. In addition, there was initially a rural community Mechenthin Amt, which had emerged from the earlier ownership of the Kolberg cathedral chapter. The rural community Mechenthin Amt comprised around 1861 a community area of ​​75 hectares. Before 1867, the rural community Adlig Mechenthin and the rural community Mechenthin Amt were merged. The political manor district was dissolved in 1929 and its area was also incorporated into the rural community of Mechenthin.

In 1935, the then owners of the property, a community of heirs, sold the property to the German settlement bank . This divided the estate into individual farms in 1938.

Until 1945 Mechenthin formed a municipality in the Kolberg-Körlin district of the Pomerania province . There were no other places to live in the community.

In 1945 Mechenthin came to Poland, like all of Western Pomerania. The village population was replaced by Poles. The place name was Polonized as Miechęcino .
