Popowice (Miastko)

Popowice ( German  Puppendorf ) is a village in the Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland . It belongs to the Gmina Miastko (municipality of Rummelsburg) in the powiat Bytowski (Bütower district) .

The village is located in Western Pomerania , about 185 km northeast of Szczecin and about 100 km west of Gdansk .

Puppendorf was originally a Vorwerk of the Waldow manor . In Ludwig Wilhelm Brüggemann's description of the Duchy of Western and Western Pomerania (1784), Waldow only mentions it briefly with the words “the Vorwerk Puppendorf with some houses on the field mark of the village”.

Until 1937 Puppendorf formed its own rural community in the Rummelsburg district in the Prussian province of Pomerania . In 1925 there were 172 inhabitants in 28 households in Puppendorf. In addition to Puppendorf, the community also had the residential areas Klein Puppendorf , Maxhof , Roding and Steinauer Schule . On October 1, 1937, Puppendorf was incorporated into the neighboring rural community of Kremerbruch .

In 1945, like all areas east of the Oder-Neisse line , Puppendorf came to Poland. Puppendorf received the Polish place name "Popowice".
