Rowy [ 'rɔvɨ ] ( German Rowe , Kasch . Rowë ) is a Baltic Sea resort in the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship . He belongs to the rural community Ustka ( Stolpmünde ) in the Powiat Słupski ( Stolp district ).

location

Rowy is located in Western Pomerania , on the banks of the Łupawa on a narrow headland between Lake Garda and the Baltic Sea . Rowe was once a remote fishing village in an idyllic location, but Rowy is now a popular tourist excursion and local recreation destination.

The nearest city Ustka is 22 kilometers away in a south-westerly direction, the district town Słupsk (Stolp) is 27 kilometers south and the voivodeship capital Gdansk 150 kilometers south-east. The headland on which Rowy lies can be reached in eight kilometers via Objazda ( Wobesde ). Until 1945, Objazda was also the next train station on the Stolpmünde – Stolp of the Stolper Bahnen . After its closure, the Ustka train station on the Piła – Ustka railway line will be the closest train station.

Place name

When referring to the German place name, Rowe on Lake Garda should not be confused with the village of Rowen (Polish: Równo) located south of Lake Leba (Jezioro Łebsko), which is also in the Stolp district . The name appears in old documents in 1282 as Rou , in 1493 as Roff and also Row . There was a groten Rowe and Lutken Roff .

The Polish form of the name "Rowy" is common in Poland.

history

According to the historical form of the village, the former Rowe was a clustered village . In 1350 the Knight von Bartowitz was enfeoffed with fishing for herring in Rowe. In 1493 it was owned by von Bandemer and from 1553 by von Schwave . Then Rowe came to the royal villages, which were subordinate to the Stolp office, later to the royal office in Schmolsin (now Polish: Smołdzino). There was also a noble part.

By 1784 Rowe had a preacher, a sexton, and 24 royal subjects in a total of 38 households. In 1908/10 Nobleman Rowe (1895 = 85 inhabitants) and Royal Rowe (1895 = 171 inhabitants) were merged to Rowe . In 1910 there were 249 residents here. Their number rose to 277 by 1933 and was 264 in 1939.

Until 1945, the municipality Rowe with the village of Klein Rowe (Rówek) belonged to the district and civil registry district Wobesde (Objazda) in the district court area of Stolp . It was in the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania .

When the Red Army marched in in 1945, the residents of Rowe stayed in the village, along with many East Prussians , some of whom had come here on a trek in 1944. On March 9, 1945 Rowe was occupied by Soviet troops without a fight. Because the place was in the restricted area on the Baltic Sea, the residents had to leave it on March 29. They went to Wobesde (Objazda) and finally found accommodation in Beckel (Wiklino).

In the autumn of 1945 the Poles came, including the Polish military. The displacement of the local residents began. In 1947 three transports went west with the use of police forces. In 1957 there were still a few German fishermen in Rowy who were allowed to stay.

The place called Rowy has been Polish since 1945. Today he is part of the Gmina Ustka in the powiat Słupski in the Pomeranian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Slupsk Voivodeship ). More than three hundred people live in Rowy today.

church

The former Rowe is said to have had its own church as early as 1581 and was mentioned during a church visit in 1590. Later a new half-timbered building was built, probably in 1750. This church stood on a hill high above Lake Garda . It had a tower, which - as a visitation protocol from 1816 says - had to be demolished because of the threat of collapse. A belfry was built in its place. The current church was built in 1843 as a new building. It contains numerous older and valuable items of equipment. The bells were hung in the free-standing belfry. For more than a hundred years this church was a Protestant place of worship. After 1945 it was expropriated in favor of the Catholic Church. Today it is called Kościół Świętych Apostołów Piotra i Pawla ("Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul" / Peter and Paul Church ).

Parish

The Rower parish was replaced in 1581 by the one in Groß Garde (now Polish: Garda Wielka). The villages of Klein Rowe (Rówek) and Schönwalde (Dębina) as well as the branch church Wobesde (Objazda) with old mill (Bałamątek) were assigned to the Protestant parish at that time .

In 1921 there were attempts to move the parish seat from Rowe to Wobesde, but they were unsuccessful.

In 1940 the parish Rowe had 1,322 parishioners, of which 512 belonged to the parish Rowe and 810 to the parish Wobesde. The parish belonged to the church district Stolp-old city in the ecclesiastical province of Pomerania of the Prussian Union of churches . The church patronage was incumbent on the state authorities for Rowe, and on the manor driver for Wobesde .

Mostly Catholic residents have lived in Rowy since 1945 . Today the place is a branch church in the parish Objazda ( Wobesde ), which belongs to the deanery Główczyce ( Glowitz ) in the diocese of Pelplin of the Catholic Church in Poland . Bałamątek ( Old Mill ) and Dębina ( Schönwalde ) are also included.

Evangelical church members living here now belong to the Kreuzkirche parish in Słupsk in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
