history
Origin, location and development
Rewahl was originally a small fishing and farming village. In 1784 there was a half-farmer , an inn, a schoolmaster, 14 fishermen's cottages and 17 campfire sites. Some of the fishermen's cottages belonged to the noble Hoff estate. The parish of Rewahl was parish in the parish of Hoff of the Camminer Synod.
The place is in the midst of fertile fields and gardens on high grassy clay banks. Over time it developed into a simple, modest seaside resort. The water of the Baltic Sea is extremely clean here, the local microclimate is good, the air contains large amounts of iodine and is not polluted. Stairs lead from the steep bank to the wide sandy beach.
In 1896 the narrow-gauge railway from Greifenberg to the seaside resort of Horst was built. The track width was 750 mm up to 1900. After that it was changed to 1000 mm. In 1913 the railway line was extended via Broitz to Treptow an der Rega .
Towards the end of the Second World War , the region was conquered by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 and then - like all of Western Pomerania - placed under Polish administration. There was an immigration from Poles who seized the houses and property of the German civilian population. In the period up to around 1947, the Germans were expelled from their place due to the Bierut decrees . The name of the German village Rewahl was changed to Rewal .
In 1991 and 1996 the southern railway line was closed and in 1999 the fragment of the western line from Pogorzelica (Fischerkaten) to Trzebiatów (Treptow) was closed. After a thorough renovation of the Gryfice – Pogorzelica line, a museum railroad is again operating along the station building, which has also been renovated. There are five train stations of the "Nadmorska Kolej Wąskotorówka" in the municipality of Rewal: Trzęsacz, Rewal, Śliwin, Niechorze and Pogorzelica.
