Osinów Dolny (German Niederwutzen , formerly Nieder-Wutzow ) is a village in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship , Powiat Gryfiński ( Greifenhagener Kreis ), municipality Cedynia ( Zehden ), with approx. 180 inhabitants (status: 2004).

location

The village lies in the Neumark on the right bank of the Oder , about 20 km southwest of Chojna ( Königsberg Nm. ) And 45 km northwest of Küstrin . The village, located in a river bend, is the westernmost of the German villages that were placed under the administration of the People's Republic of Poland after the Second World War .

history

Niederwutzen used to be called Nieder-Wutzow and was so called because there were also the villages of Ober-Wutzow and Hohen-Wutzow in the neighborhood . The inhabitants of the small village, which had only 162 inhabitants in 1804, traditionally lived from fishing and agriculture. The town's economic situation improved when a pulp mill was built on the area between 1936 and 1939 .

At the end of the Second World War , Niederwutzen was occupied by the Red Army . After the end of the war, the village and other areas east of the Oder-Neisse line were placed under Polish administration. The immigration of Polish migrants began, some of whom came from areas east of the Curzon Line that had been conquered by Poland after the First World War . The German town of Niederwutzen was renamed Osinów Dolny . Unless the local residents of the village had fled, they were subsequently evicted by the local Polish administrative authorities .

The Red Army dismantled the pulp mill. The buildings remained unused as ruins. In 1993 the border crossing to Germany was opened to traffic; in the same year 3.6 million Germans crossed the border. After the opening of the border, German-Polish retail trade became the most important economic factor in the village. A bazaar was created with numerous shops, including the ruins of the pulp mill. The “Poland market” that has arisen here is the largest on the German-Polish border so far. Tank tourism from Germany continued to flourish.

In recent years the place has developed into a “village of hairdressers”: for every 200 inhabitants there are 150 people who practice this profession in Osinów Dolny.
