Geographical location

The village is located in Western Pomerania , in the Stolpetal Landscape Protection Park , about 22 kilometers south-southeast of the town of Słupsk ( Stolp ) and nine kilometers south of the church village Dębnica Kaszubska ( Rathsdamnitz ).

history

The village Podewilshausen was founded in the period 1748-1752 in the Stolper Stadtwald, the Loitz, as a colony consisting of 16 farms. It was one of the 200 colonies that Frederick the Great founded in Pomerania. The new village was named after the Prussian Foreign Minister Heinrich Graf von Podewils . In 1784 there was a schoolmaster, a prayer house and a total of 18 households in addition to the 16 farmers. The farmers owned their farms and paid a fixed rent ("canon") to the town of Stolp. In the years 1794/95 the farms were left to the farmers in hereditary lease.

In 1925 there were 37 residential buildings in Podewilshausen. In 1939 there were 69 households and 290 inhabitants.

Until 1945 the village Podewilshausen belonged to the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the province of Pomerania . The parish area was 510 hectares. The Mückenkaten residential area to the northwest of the village of Podewilshausen also belonged to the municipality of Podewilshausen . There were 52 farms in Podewilshausen.

Towards the end of the Second World War , Podewilshausen was occupied by the Red Army on March 7, 1945 . A trek with all the villagers had previously set out to flee, but was overrun by Soviet troops in Schmaatz. Almost all of the villagers returned. Later Poles came and took over houses and farms from the village. Podewilshausen was renamed Podwilczyn . The German villagers were expelled .

128 villagers who had come from Podewilshausen were later identified in the Federal Republic of Germany and 100 in the GDR .

Today the village has about 195 inhabitants.

In 1932 the elementary school in Podewilshausen had two stages; a single teacher was teaching 66 school children in two classes at the time.

The population living in Podewilshausen before 1945 was all of the Protestant denomination. The parish belonged to the Stolp-Stadt parish. The church in Podewilshausen, like the one in Rowe, had a free-standing belfry.
