Morzyczyn (German Moritzfelde ) is a village with around 400 inhabitants in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland . It is located seven kilometers west of Stargard (Stargard in Pomerania) and belongs to the Gmina Kobylanka (rural community Kublank) in the powiat Stargardzki (Stargard district) .

Geographical location

Promenade on the Madüsee

The village is located on the north bank of the Jezioro Miedwie (Madüsee) on the edge of a large forest area, the Puszcza Goleniowska ( Gollnower Heide ). To the north of the village, about 1.5 kilometers of fields stretched to the edge of the forest. State road 10, which was created as a bypass, now runs along these in an east-west direction . Before that, the state road ran south through the town on the route of the former Reichsstraße 104 .

The shore and the beach were built with a promenade and many shops. An amphitheater on water was created. Many residents of Kobylanka municipality use the local train station.

Neighboring towns are in the southwest by the lake Jęczydół (Brenkenhofswalde) , in the west Kobylanka (Kublank) , in the northeast Miedwiecko (Madüsee stop) and behind it Zielelniewo (Grünhof) .

history

The village was founded in 1751 by Moritz von Dessau , then a Prussian major general in Stargard, as the first colonist village on the Madüsee. It was named Moritzfelde after him . In 1786 28 households were registered. In 1868 413 inhabitants lived in the village, then 352 in 1919 and 435 in 1925.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Moritzfelde developed into a popular excursion destination. The land between what was then the center of the village and the Madüsee was bought and built by citizens of Szczecin and Stargard. The city of Stargard, which had acquired the Madüsee from the Prussian state in 1913/1916 , laid out a lake promenade. Excursion restaurants arose, including the so-called Kurhaus Madüsee , whose owners even issued the Madüsee seaside resort's own emergency money in 1921 .

After the Second World War , Moritzfelde, like all of Western Pomerania , came to Poland.

church

The center of the village was formed by the neo-Romanesque Protestant church made of field and bricks that were bombed during the war and the ruins of which were later removed. Today only a wicker monument reminds of the building. In the 1990s, a new, now Roman Catholic church was built in the village.
