Geographical location

Radosław is located five kilometers north of the district town of Sławno . The place is connected to Sławsko ( Alt Schlawe ) and thus to the Sławno - Postomino ( Pustamin ) road via a three-kilometer road . The Schlawe – Stolpmünde railway line , built in 1911 and dismantled in 1945 , runs eastwards past the village. The station Coccejendorf ("Koccejendorf", Polish: Radosław Sławieńskie) is already in the area of ​​the Sławsko district.

Neighboring communities of Radosław are: in the north Mazów ( Meitzow ) and Wilkowice ( Wilhelmine ), in the east Tokary ( Deutschrode ), in the south Sławsko ( Alt Schlawe ) and in the west Stary Kraków ( Alt Krakow ).

Place name

The village, whose former name was Schwenzenhagen , was named after the Prussian lawyer and legal reformer Samuel Freiherr von Cocceji (1679–1755) (similar to Cocceji-Neudorf (Krzyszyna) and Cocceji-Neuwalde (Krzyszczynka) near Landsberg (Warthe) , today a voivodship Lebus ).

history

In 1354 the noble family of the Swenzonen left the village Swenzenhagen to the town of Schlawe . In 1653 the area is named with usable wood stocks, namely on a map of the field mark Schwentzenhagen , which was probably made due to a dispute between the town of Schlawe and the farmers of the villages of Alt Schlawe and Stemnitz . The law faculty of the University of Wittenberg was involved in the conflict , and only then did Bugslaff Philipp Michaelis , court judge of the King of Sweden , reach a settlement.

In 1749 a colony for twelve families from the Palatinate and the Rhine was created on this field mark . Frederick the Great initiated this. In 1740, Pomerania had only about 300,000 inhabitants on about 506 square miles and was an extremely sparsely populated country. In addition to Coccejendorf, Wilhelmine and Neu Kuddezow in the Schlawe district and other villages in the Köslin district , in the Stolp district and in the Bütow district are on this Way has been settled. The reformed citizens of the Palatinate were hard pressed in their homeland by fanatical Catholics and did not get the protection they expected from their sovereign. The king left the naming of the new settlements to the Pomeranian authorities: Coccejendorf was named after the Prussian legal reformer Samuel von Cocceji , and the nearby village Wilhelmine after the favorite sister of King Wilhelmine of Prussia (1709-1758).

In 1818, 162 people lived in Coccejendorf. Their number rose to 334 in 1885 and was 319 in 1939.

Until 1945 the place belonged to Alt Schlawe (Sławsko) and to the local registry office . District court district was Schlawe . The village was in the district of Schlawe i. Pom. in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania .

On March 9, 1945, the Red Army invaded Coccejendorf. The resident population was abducted and displaced . In June 1945 Polish families took over the farms and the German population was expelled from the village between October 1945 and 1947.

Today Radosław is part of the Gmina Sławno in the powiat Sławieński of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Stolp Voivodeship ).

Local division until 1945

The community of Coccejendorf had no districts before 1945. The residential areas Coccejendorf (train station) and Coccejendorf (forest house) were in the districts of Alt Schlawe and Wilhelmine.

church

Before 1945 the population of Coccejendorf was predominantly of Protestant denomination. The Reformed Palatinate initially belonged to the neighboring Lutheran church in Schlawe . The Reformed court preacher of the castle church in Stolp came over once or twice a year to celebrate the Lord's Supper . After the confessions were united in the Union in 1817 , Coccejendorf remained within the Schlawe parish . It was in the church district of Schlawe in the church province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .

In the middle of the 19th century, many Coccejendorfer felt attracted to the neo-pietist revival movement , the leading head of which was the landowner von Seehof (near Pennekow) Heinrich von Below . At first he preached in his manor in Seehof, then in 1923 his own church was built in Coccejendorf.

Today Radosław is a Catholic branch church of the Sławsko parish. The church was rededicated on March 31, 1946. The village belongs to the deanery Sławno in the diocese of Köslin-Kolberg .

school

The Palatinate settlers had built a half-timbered school, which by 1870 proved to be too small. The Coccejendorfer built a new building, but they had to pay for it on their own as they did not involve the government in the planning and construction. It was a one-class elementary school with room for a second teaching position. About 60 to 70 children from Coccejendorf, Coccejendorf train station and from Waldhof (Warginie) were taught here.
