from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ostrowica (German Raumersaue ) is a village in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland . It belongs to the Gmina Pyrzyce (municipality of Pyritz) in the Powiat Pyrzycki (Pyritzer Kreis) .

Geographical location

The village is located in Western Pomerania , about 28 kilometers southeast of Stettin and about 9 kilometers north of the district town of Pyritz .

The village is a street village laid out in a north-south direction, roughly halfway between the Bangastsee in the west and the Madüsee in the east.

The next neighboring town is Giżyn (Giesenthal) , which is a little north in the form of a street village in a west-east direction along the Kattengraben .

history

The village was founded under King Frederick the Great : From 1770, the king had the water level of the Madusees lowered, which gained land and above all dry land. In the course of this, the king had some new settlements ("colonies") built. These include Raumersaue, which was laid out in the Kolbatz office from 1777 on the land west of the Madüsees, called the Madanzig , as well as the neighboring town of Giesenthal to the north . The king chose the place name "Raumersaue" after the later Lieutenant General Karl Albrecht Friedrich von Raumer .

The condition after the establishment of the new village is in Ludwig Wilhelm Brüggemann's detailed description of the current condition of the Royal Prussian Duchy of Western and Western Pomerania (1784): At that time Raumersaue was a "colony, which consists of 15 fireplaces and just as many Dutch families, one of which each owns 75 acres on land. "

Later the colonist positions were divided in many ways. By 1835, 18 positions had been created, 22 positions by 1856 and 32 positions by 1865.

Probably after 1910, the Raumersaue community was merged with the neighboring Giesenthal community to form the Giesenthal-Raumersaue community. Until 1945 Raumersaue belonged as part of the municipality of Giesenthal-Raumersaue to the Pyritz district of the Pomerania province .

After the Second World War , Raumersaue, like all areas east of the Oder-Neisse border , came to Poland. The population was driven out . The village received the Polish place name "Ostrowica".
