history

Rotten used to be an old fiefdom of the Bandemer family . It was shared several times. Already in 1460 Czier was named by Bandemer auf Rotten, in 1493 Claus , in 1523 a Clawes Bandemer tom rotten in the third generation, and in 1569 and 1575 Christoph was enfeoffed with Rotten. Around 1784 there were two farms in Rotten, four farmers, a kossaete on the field mark of the village and the fishermen's apartments Blotky , Drzon and ob de Landen and a total of 13 households on Lake Garda . The village consisted of three parts, most of which were inherited by the Bandemer family. In 1859, the Rotten estate was bought for 44,500 thalers by Wilhelm von Massow , who already owned the Bandsechow, Dresow and Liepen estates and was considered a qualified farmer. The subsequent owners were Adolf von Massow and his son Louis († 1909). After the death of his father, Lieutenant Colonel Ewald von Massow took a year off to manage the Bandsechow, Dresow, Liepen and Rotten estates. He took over the first three goods. Although his brother Gottfried received the Rotten estate in the summer of 1910, Ewald managed all four estates until 1913. After that, the Rotten estate was leased. Due to the economic situation after the First World War , Gottfried von Massow was forced to sell the property to the tenants and the Stolp district settlement cooperative . The Rotten estate was then settled. In the end the village of Rotten was purely a farming and fishing village.

In 1925 there were 14 residential buildings in Rotten. In 1939, 81 people lived in Rotten in 18 households, and the community had a total of 15 farms.

Before 1945 Rotten belonged to the District Schmolsin in county Stolp , administrative region of Pomerania , the province of Pomerania . The parish area was 355 hectares. There were two places of residence in the Rotten municipality:

  • Lotken
  • Rotten

Towards the end of the Second World War , the Red Army occupied the village on March 9, 1945 without a fight. Since Rotten was within the Soviet military restricted area on the Baltic Sea, all residents had to leave the village from April 1st to April 15th. They were housed in Jeseritz. The mayor was arrested by the Soviet troops and later turned over to the Poles. The first Poles came to the village in August 1945 and set up their own administration in September. The villagers were evicted from November 1946 to August 1947 .

Later, 57 villagers displaced from Rotten in the Federal Republic of Germany and 40 in the GDR were identified.

The village now belongs to the Powiat Słupski of the Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Slupsk Voivodeship ).
