history

Modła was laid out in the form of a small dead-end village. In 1355 Friedrich Krümmel received the estates Dünnow, Lindow, Muddel, Horst and Starkow as a fief in exchange for Sylcksdorf, which he had previously owned as a fief. In 1523 Christoff Krummell is called myt synen Brodern tho Muddel . When the Krümmel dynasty died out after 250 years, the villages of Dünnow, Lindow and Muddel fell to members of the Below family , who, according to fiefdoms, took full control of the former Krümmel fiefs. The Belows owned the three estates from 1610 to 1843. Muddel, which had previously belonged to the Schlawe district, was incorporated into the Stolp district in 1876 . In 1784 there was a farm in Muddel, three cottages, a schoolmaster, a few fishermen's cottages on Muddel's beach and a total of twenty households. At the time the village belonged to the brothers Ernst Bogislav and Carl Wilhelm von Below. Before 1823, 53 people lived in the fishermen's cottages on Muddeler Strand. In 1843 Karl Friedrich Wilhelm von Below sold the Dünnow, Lindow and Muddel estates to the landowner Otto Frankenstein, who in 1857 sold them to Duke Alfred von Croÿ . Frankenstein then leased the goods from the duke in order to continue to manage them. After him, his son-in-law, the economist Leo Scheunemann, leased the property. From 1904 to 1945, his eldest son, Bernhard Scheunemann, was the tenant of the Dünnow, Lindow and Muddel estates, which he managed from Dünnow.

In 1925 there were 37 residential buildings in Muddel. In 1939 there were 194 inhabitants in 50 households. In addition to the estate, there were 36 farms in Muddel.

Before the end of the Second World War , Muddel belonged to the district of Stolp , administrative district of Köslin , the province of Pomerania . The parish area was 741 hectares. In the municipality of Muddel, there was the Muddelstrand residential area next to the village of Muddel .

Towards the end of the war, Muddel was occupied by the Soviet Army on March 8, 1945 . Most of the residents stayed in the village; only a few families had previously managed to escape from Stolpmünde by ship. Since Muddel was in the Soviet military restricted area on the Baltic Sea, the villagers had to leave the village temporarily on March 30, 1945. When they were allowed to return after eight weeks, they found the homesteads and apartments looted. The Soviet military kept the Stolpmünde firing range in possession until January 1, 1947. In the summer of 1945, Muddel was occupied by Polish troops. On February 8, 1946, the first Polish civilians appeared in the Muddelstrand district and took over the homes and farms of the locals. In the summer of 1946 the eviction of the villagers began, which the Poles carried out in stages and lasted until September 17, 1947.

Later, 87 villagers who had come from Muddel in the Federal Republic of Germany and 53 in the GDR were identified.

Today the village has about 40 inhabitants.
