Recz ( German Reetz ) is a small town in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship , Powiat Choszczeński ( Arnswalde district ).
Geographical location
The city lies between the western foothills of the Draheimer and Waltzer lake plateaus on the left bank of the river Ihna in the Neumark .
history
During the Slavic settlement, there was a Wendish castle complex at the later site of Recz . In 1294 , the Cistercian nuns built a monastery on the crumbled remains , with the Wendish castle settlement of Kietz in front of it to the south. This village remained independent until 1938 before it was incorporated into Reetz. To the northeast of the monastery, the Ascanians settled immigrants from the west as part of their eastward expansion. In 1296 this place was already mentioned as the city of Reetz. The town church was built between 1340 and 1355. In 1369, the von Wedell aristocratic family , with the help of Hasso (II) von Wedel-Uchtenhagen , received the town initially as a pledge, and one year later as a fief. The family remained rulers of the town until 1810. Polish troops caused severe damage in their campaign against the Teutonic Order in 1410. In the war between the Pomeranian Duke Erich II and the Brandenburg Elector Friedrich II, the Pomeranians attacked the Brandenburg Reetz, which lay directly on the border with Pomerania, and devastated it again.
After the Reformation introduced in Neumark in 1538 , the monastery was given an administrator in 1545 who also headed the Bernstein monastery from around 1550 . It was not until 1552 that the Cisterce was secularized and converted into an electoral domain. During the Thirty Years' War , Reetz was sacked by imperial troops in 1637, and during the Polish-Swedish war, the Polish military leader Stefan Czarniecki occupied the city for a short time. At the beginning of the 18th century, the old ramparts in front of the city wall were leveled and the area was converted into gardens. In 1827 the ruins of the monastery were torn down. In 1859 the Jews had a synagogue .
With the new district division in the Kingdom of Prussia , Reetz was incorporated into the Arnswalde district of Neumark . In 1895 the city was connected to the Kallies – Stolzenhagen railway line. The station was initially two kilometers to the north, but was later incorporated into the urban area through expansion settlements. At that time a weaving mill and the grain, cattle and wool trade were the most important branches of business.
With an administrative reorganization in 1938 in connection with the dissolution of the Grenzmark Posen-West Prussia as a province, Reetz came with the district of Arnswalde to the province of Pomerania in the newly formed administrative district Grenzmark Posen-West Prussia . At the end of the Second World War in February 1945 a German troop unit under General Voigt fought against the Russian advance in the Reetz region. On February 8, 1945 Reetz fell into the hands of the Red Army . Large parts of the old town burned down during the fighting. After the war ended, the city was placed under Polish administration. Then Reetz was renamed Rzeczyca , then Recz Pomorski . The supplement Pomorski was later omitted. Unless the German residents had fled before the end of the war, they were subsequently expelled by the local Polish administrative authorities .
