Przytór

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Przytór (German Pritter ) is a district of Świnoujście (Swinoujscie) in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship . Przytór is located on the peninsula of the same name in the west of the island of Wolin, south of the roads DK 93 and DK 3 . The Stara Świna ( Old Swine ) runs south of the village and Jezioro Wicko Wielkie ( Great Vietziger Lake ) to the east . The place has about 800 inhabitants.

history

Pritter was mentioned in 1339 in a document from the dukes Bogislaw V , Barnim V and Wartislaw V of Pomerania-Wolgast . At that time there was probably a permanent house from which the dukes secured their customs claims on the Swine. During the division of the country in 1372 Pritter remained in the Wolgast part. In the first half of the 15th century, Sophia (1375–1450), daughter of Duke Heinrich the Iron of Holstein, had her widow's residence in Caseburg and Pritter. Then Duke Erich II resided in Pritter until 1458 citizens of Szczecin, probably because of the duty levied here, who destroyed the ducal seat and its court in Ostswine.

Pritter was an official village in which, among other things, a ducal wooden bailiff and a fish pit had their seat. The latter was in charge of fishing in the Szczecin Lagoon and collected the associated taxes and customs on the Swine. After the introduction of the Reformation in Pomerania and the secularization , the place belonged to the office of Wollin. Fishing was the main source of income for the population. The main agricultural activity was cattle breeding.

During the Thirty Years' War Pritter was largely devastated by the imperial troops. After the Greifenhaus died out in 1637, the town and the Wollin office came to the Swedish Governor General Johan Banér , whose heirs ceded the property to the Swedish crown in 1648.

Station building

During the Great Northern War , the islands of Wolin and Usedom came to Prussia . With the expansion of the sea port Świnoujście in the middle and especially in the second half of the 18th century, Büdner and residents were settled in Pritter, who mainly found work in the forest and in the Świnoujście port. In the 19th century Pritter became the most populous rural town on Wollin. The population rose to 1345 inhabitants by 1939.

Reichsstrasse 111 (today DK 3) was passed by the district of Haferhorst . In 1900 Pritter received a train station on the Stettin – Swinemünde route .

During the Second World War, the "Pritter" air defense position was built in the village. It served the air defense of Swinoujscie. The unusual thing about the facility was that the bunkers were given the shape of a residential building and a shed for camouflage. Today the completely preserved position is a small museum of contemporary history.

After the Second World War , Pritter came to Poland and was named Przytór.

Pritter eel

The eel fishing in Pritter was very profitable in the 16th century. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Pritter eels were known far beyond the borders of the Pomeranian province. The spiked smoked eels sold under this name, mainly delivered to Berlin and the provinces of Brandenburg and Silesia , also came from other fishing villages on the Szczecin Lagoon, as the demand could otherwise not be met due to falling catches.
