Porzecze (German Preetz ) is a village in Poland . It belongs to the rural community Darłowo ( Rügenwalde ) in the powiat Sławieński ( Schlawe ) of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship .

Geographical location

The long street village of Porzecze is nine kilometers south of the Baltic Sea town of Darłowo ( Rügenwalde ) and about five kilometers as the crow flies from the sea in Western Pomerania .

Place name

The name of the village is likely to be of Slavic origin. It is to be interpreted as "cancer" or "sand", could also be derived from pri reke (= "on the river", "on the water"), since the place is in the valley of the Grabowa ( Grabow ). Earlier forms of the name are Porez or Poretz .

history

Today's Porzecze is an old settlement area. This is indicated by excavation finds from the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages. In the north of the village there was a large burial ground, which was destroyed when the road was built in 1883. The local museum in Darłowo still houses some urns today.

According to the finds, around 500 BC Lived with Preetz Wandalen . A later Wendensiedlung on Potsberg to the north probably had eight fireplaces. The later village of Brandenhagen, which was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War , stood here.

In 1262 the Camminer bishop Hermann Graf von Gleichen donated 40 hooves near Poretz to the Buckow monastery in See Buckow (now Polish: Bukowo Morskie). In 1275 the dukes Wizlaw II of Rügen and Mestwin II of Pomerellen confirmed this monastery property. Since then Preetz has been one of the abbey villages.

In 1324, Peter von Neuenburg settled a dispute between Lake Buckow (Bukowo Morskie) and Rügenwalde (Darłowo) because of the demarcation between Preetz and Zerawe, a deserted village between Suckow (Żukowo Morskie) and Rußhagen (Rusko). When the village came to the Rügenwalder Amt in 1535 , it had 1 off-duty Schulzenhof , 11 farms, 4 streets kossaten , 5 Büdner and a shepherd's cottage .

In the following centuries Preetz developed into a wealthy village. In 1784 there were 12 farmers in Preetz including the off duty Schulzen, 4 street farmers with the blacksmith, 5 Büdner, a shepherd's cottage and 22 fire places. The Vorwerk - the later domain - Petershagen (Pęciszewko) belonged to the community. Agriculture and livestock farming determined the working day of the population, but also fishing, which was very successful in the Grabow.

Until 1945 Preetz belonged to the district of Schlawe i. Pom. in Administrative district Köslin of Pomerania Province .

Towards the end of the Second World War , the first Soviet tanks passed through the village on March 6, 1945 . The day before, many villagers had fled in the direction of Rügenwalde, but were overrun by the Red Army near Zizow (Cisowo) and Kopahn (Kopań) . For the next few days, troops rolled non-stop through the town in the direction of Danzig . A field airport was set up on a field, the construction work of which was carried out by the Preetz population. The German residents were evacuated on March 21, 1945, but brought back a few weeks later. They had farm work to do.

After the place - like all of Western Pomerania - had been placed under Polish administration after the end of the war, Poles took over the place completely in 1947, and the German residents were expelled due to the Bierut decrees . The German place Preetz received the Polish name Porzecze and was assigned to the rural community Darłowo in the Powiat Sławieński.

church

Before 1945, the inhabitants of Preetz were 99% Protestant. They belonged to the parish of Petershagen in the parish of the same name, which in 1939 had a total of 1863 parishioners. It was in the church district of Rügenwalde in the church province of Pomerania in the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union . The last German clergyman was Pastor Franz Schroeder.

Today the evangelical residents of Porzecze are looked after by the parish office in Koszalin ( Köslin ). It belongs to the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland in the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

school

Until a school building was built in Preetz, lessons were held in the farmers' living rooms. In 1939, 50 children from Preetz and Petershagen attended the school here, which was given a new building at the turn of the 20th century.

It comes from Darłowo and branches off behind Jeżyczki ( Neuenhagen Abbey ) in the direction of Bielkowo ( Beelkow ) on the voivodship road 203 or in the direction of Malechowo ( Malchow ) on the state road 6 (= European road 28 ).
