Poganice (German Poganitz , kasch. Pògóńce ) is a village in the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship and belongs to the rural community Potęgowo ( Pottangow ) in the Powiat Słupski ( Stolp district ).

Geographical location

Poganice is located in Western Pomerania , about 25 kilometers east of the district town of Słupsk ( Stolp ) on the Lupow (Łupawa) and was once the most important crossing over this river. Until 1945 it was the German Reichsstraße 2 that crossed the river here, today it is the Polish state road 6 (now also European route 28 ), which now connects the Polish-German border at Kołbaskowo ( Kolbitzow ) and Stettin to Gdansk and on to Pruszcz Gdański ( Praust ). The nearest train station is Potęgowo, nine kilometers to the east, on the railway line from Gdańsk to Stargard .

Place name

Older forms of the name are Poganitz (1569), Pogganitz (1595) and Pogantze (1628).

history

According to the historical form of the settlement, the former manor village Poganice is a small alley village . The King and Pomeranian Duke Erich I enfeoffed the Grumbkow family with Poganitz in 1451, who owned it until the 17th century. The most important owners were the Brandenburg State Minister Joachim Ernst von Grumbkow and the Prussian State Minister Philipp Otto von Grumbkow .

In the 17th century, Poganitz was temporarily owned by the Pirch family , whose ownership it became permanent from 1706.

To 1784 Poganitz had a Vorwerk , four farmers, four Kossäten , a schoolmaster and a watermill - a total of fifteen fireplaces.

In 1804 Hans Felix von Pirch owned Poganitz before it passed into the possession of the Rieck , Post and Rieck-Eggebert families in 1825 . The last man on Poganitz was Erich von Rieck-Eggebert from 1931 to 1945 .

In 1910 Poganitz had 225 inhabitants. Their number was 227 in 1933 and fell to 192 by 1939. The two districts of Ewaldsgrün (Polish: Moskotowo) and Bandemersruh and Monbijou (Będziemierki) belonged to the municipality of Poganitz. It was incorporated into the administrative and civil registry district of Grumbkow (Grąbkowo) - in the district court area of Stolp and in the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania .

On March 7, 1945, the inhabitants of Poganitz flee from the approaching Soviet troops in a trek and reached the Lebamoor via Pottangow (Potęgowo), Stojentin (Stowięcino) and Groß Podel (Podole Wielkie) . Here, however, they were overrun by the Red Army . On March 8, 1945, Poganitz came into the hands of the Russians without a fight, who set up a command post here and kept the estate in their administration. In the summer of 1945 Poland came and set up their own administration on September 1, 1945. The local German population was - if it was not already fled - to the west expelled . Poganitz became the Polish Poganice, which is now a village in Gmina Potęgowo in the Powiat Słupski in the Pomeranian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Slupsk Voivodeship ). With its now 133 inhabitants, Poganice belongs to the Schulzenamt owochowo ( Sochow ).

church

Until 1945 the population of Poganitz was almost without exception Protestant denomination. The place belonged to the parish of Lupow (now Polish: Łupawa) in the church district of Stolp-Altstadt in the church province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The last German clergyman was Pastor Gerhard Gehlhoff .

Since 1945 the inhabitants of Poganice have been predominantly Catholic . The connection to the parish village has remained, but the parish of Łupawa ( Lupow ) now belongs to the newly formed deanery of the same name in the diocese of Pelplin of the Catholic Church in Poland . Protestant church members living here are now assigned to the Kreuzkirche parish in Słupsk ( Stolp ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

school

Already around 1784 there was a schoolmaster in Poganitz. In the 19th century the school was housed in a small residential building. In 1878 the Chausseehaus, which had been used to collect road tolls, was converted into a new school. In 1926 there was a renovation.

In the school, which was opened in 1932, one teacher taught forty schoolchildren. The last German teacher was Walter Bohlmann , who was only expelled from Poganice on May 1, 1947.
