Office of Rügenwalde
The Rügenwalde Office , also Rügenwalder Office , was a geographically coherent historical administrative district outside the urban area of Rügenwalde in Western Pomerania . Towards the end of the 18th century, the Rügenwalder Amt consisted of a total of 52 villages and 14 farms (farms). Although the administrative seat was last in the ducal castle of Rügenwalde, the city of Rügenwalde itself and the property villages Grupenhagen (now in Polish Krupy ), Rußhagen ( Rusko ), Sellen ( Zielnowo ), Schöningswalde ( Sińczyca ), Suckow and Zizow ( Cisowo ) included not to the Rügenwalder office.
The Rügenwalder Amt surrounded the urban area of Rügenwalde in a horseshoe shape. The western border of the administrative district was the later district border Köslin / Schlawe with the 'Gollen', a prominent hill 130 m high (referred to as 'mountain' by the locals). In the east the district bordered on the Stolp district. The southern border was formed by the old trading and military route Köslin - Schlawe - Stolp , the northern border by the southern shore of the Baltic Sea .
Before the Reformation , the Rügenwalder Office consisted of 20 villages. In the course of the Reformation, 26 abbey villages were added that had previously belonged to Buckow Monastery . The Rügenwalde office thus became the largest administrative district of its kind in Western Pomerania. In order to increase the income, the entire office of Rügenwalde was handed over to a general tenant under the government of King Friedrich Wilhelm I in 1723, who also had to perform the duties of a rent master. Unless they were indispensable, the officers were fired. In order to reduce the debt burden, it was decided in 1807 to divide up some of the domains or to sell them to farmers or village communities. New villages such as Neu Järshagen or Neu Kugelwitz emerged .
