Geographical location

The 2.5 kilometer long street village Pieńkowo is located on Voivodship Road 203 , which leads from Ustka ( Stolpmünde ) via Darłowo ( Rügenwalde ) to Koszalin ( Köslin ). Shortly after the east exit of the place empties one of Sławno ( Slawno coming) side road into the road. Until 1945 Pennekow was a station on the Schlawe – Stolpmünde railway line .

Pieńkowo has an altitude of 20 meters above sea level in a flat undulating landscape, the highest point of which is 35 meters south of the village. Neighboring communities are Chudaczewo ( Alt Kuddezow ) in the west, Królewko ( Krolow ) and Marszewo ( Marsow ) in the north, Postomino ( Pustamin ) and Tyń ( Thyn ) in the east and Wilkowice ( Wilhelmine ) and Chudaczewko ( Neu Kuddezow ) in the south.

history

The place name appears for the first time in a letter of atonement signed in 1409 by a "Jungke Hennynk Below zu Pennekow" . Even then, the von Below family was based here. It will remain so until 1945.

In 1452 the knight Heinrich Sanitz, who was also resident here, bequeathed half of the village to the Carthusian monastery Marienkron with the obligation to pay his widow 600 marks. The Sanitz share went to the von Below family after the Reformation .

In 1784 Pennekow had two farms , 11 farmers, 6 cottagers , 1 schoolmaster, 1 blacksmith and a total of 36 fireplaces , making it one of the largest villages in the area. At that time the Pennekow estate comprised an area of ​​818 hectares , of which 529 hectares were arable and 220 hectares were forest. After the peasants' liberation , the farm had relocated to Seehof, a town on the eastern edge of the village.

In 1818 there were 336 inhabitants in Pennekow, in 1885 there were 724, and in 1939 the number was 701. Until 1945, the municipality of Pennekow included the villages of Groß Waldhof (now Polish: Mszane), Heinrichsfelde (Budisław), Klein Waldhof (Mszanka) , Neu- and Klein Pennekow (Pieńkówko), Rabenburg (Rogacz) and Seehof (Stawiska).

The community was in the district of Schlawe i. Pom. of the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania .

On March 8, 1945, Soviet troops occupied the place on their advance to Słupsk (Stolp) and Stolpmünde. The German population was expelled on December 8, 1945 . In 1947 the place came under Polish administration and received its current name. It is part of the Gmina Postomino ( Pustamin ) and belonged to the Slupsk Voivodeship ( Stolp ) between 1975 and 1998 , until it became part of the Pomeranian and West Pomeranian Voivodeships as part of the structural reform . Today (2007) about 700 residents live here, the mayor is Leszek Podemski.

Before 1945, the Pennekow community included six villages or places:

  1. Groß Waldhof (now in Polish: Mszane), brickworks and 10 settlements, 1.5 kilometers south of the village, on the western side of the Schlawe - Stolpmünde railway line. The brick factory was built in 1855
  2. Heinrichsfelde, Vorwerk des Gut Seehof, 1.5 kilometers north of the village on the border with the Krolow (Królewo) district
  3. Klein Waldhof (Maszanka), former forestry of the Seehof estate, 3.5 kilometers south of the village on the edge of the forest in the Wippertal, divided into 3 farms in 1931
  4. New Pennekow (Pieńkówko), formerly Klein Pennekow , 2.5 kilometers south of the village, probably built in the 18th century
  5. Rabenkrug, farm, 1.2 kilometers south of the village
  6. Seehof, Gutshof, last owned by Sybille Schach von Wittenau born from Below . The manor with farm workers' houses was immediately north at the eastern end of the village. Between the estate and the Schlawe - Stolpmünde railway line, there is the formerly so-called Seehofer See (8.04 hectares), half of which belonged to the Pennekow and Pustamin (Postomino) estate administrations. The fishing was carried out by the working class families. - In the 19th century here the landowner lived Heinrich von Below , the main leader in the fight for the pastor and founder of the Tischmeyer of Belowschen revivalism that showed almost anywhere in Pomerania impact.

Parish

Until 1945 the overwhelming majority of the Pennekow population was of Protestant denomination. The village was a branch of the parish Pustamin in the parish of Rügenwalde in the church province of Pomerania in the Protestant church of the Old Prussian Union .

In 1817 Pennekow was parish from the parish of Pustamin and relocated to Mützenow . The decisive factor for this was the Pennekow patron Heinrich von Below, who called a protest movement (the so-called "Belowsche movement") into being to defend himself against the rationalist pastor Johann Christoph Friedrich Tischmeyer. This new pietistic awakening movement later gained a foothold in the whole of Pomerania . If there were brief tensions with Mützenow, the two towns were not separated again until 1852. Pennekow came to Alt Kuddezow (Chudaczewo) for a few years. It was not until 1863 that Pennekow and Pustamin were reunited.

Before 1945, the church patronage for Pennekow was held by the owner of the Seehof estate, most recently Sybille Schach von Wittenau, née von Below. In 1939 the parish had 800 parishioners, who were last looked after by Pastor Samuel Jobst.

Today the residents of Pieńkowo are predominantly Catholic . The Evangelical Christians are looked after by the parish office in Słupsk in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Village church

The church in Pieńkowo is now called "Christ the King's Church" and is more recent. The tower made of plastered stone masonry, however, dates from the Middle Ages. The altar and the interior were installed in the 17th and 18th centuries. A carved crucifixion group hung on the south wall, but it has been reworked several times.

In the carving of the altar the Below coat of arms with the three men's heads was attached to the left, the griffin with sturgeon tail on the right.

school

There was a schoolmaster in Pennekow as early as 1784. The two-class school with a teacher's apartment was next to the church. A sports field was laid out at the school building. The last German schoolmasters before 1945 were Alfred Kropp and Ernst Giese and the teacher Camphausen.
