Ryczewo (German Ritzow ) is a former Pomeranian village and since 1961 a district (dzielnica) of Słupsk ( Stolp ) in the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship .
Geographical location and transport links
Ryczewo is located in Western Pomerania , in the north-west of the independent city of Słupsk ( Stolp ), and it is three kilometers to the city center. Here the glacial valley of the Słupia ( Stolpe ) forms a slope from which meadows and moors extend to the west and arable land to the east. In the west of Ryczewo, the state railway line 202 Stargard runs in Pomerania-Gdansk , but the next station is the train station in Słupsk. The east of Ryczewo is crossed by Voivodship Road 213 , which comes from downtown Słupsk and leads to Celbowo ( Celbau ) in Puck ( Putzig ) district. Until 1945 Ritzow was a stop on the small railway line Stolp – Zezenow (now Polish: Cecenowo), from 1933 only to Dargeröse (Dargoleza), the Stolper Bahnen .
history
Ritzow was the third oldest documented village in the Stolp district . In 1240, Duke Swantopolk II of Pomerania sold the village to Chaplain Hermann . Then Ritzow went to the Premonstratensian nunnery in Stolp, which Duke Mestwin II confirmed ownership in 1288. In Prussian times, Ritzo was one of the eighteen royal villages of the Stolper district that were under the Stolp office. It is not known exactly when the village came to the town of Stolp.
Around 1784 there were ten farmers in Ritzow with a free schooling, a kossaten and a schoolmaster with a total of 14 households. In 1939, Ritzow had 39 farms with a community area of 533 hectares and a population of 1005 (in 269 households).
Until 1945, the municipality of Ritzow was the seat of the official and registry office district of the same name and belonged to the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania . District court area was Stolp. The proximity to the city gave Ritzow its character in many ways.
Towards the end of World War II , Ritzow was overrun by Red Army troops on March 8, 1945 . The place was then placed under Polish administration together with the whole of Western Pomerania. A few weeks later the first Poles arrived to seize the houses. The villagers were evicted until 1946 . Ritzow received the Polish name Ryczewo . Between 1945 and 1954 the village was the seat of a Gmina (rural community) named after him and then came to Słupsk as a district in 1961 .
church
Before 1945 the population of Ritzow was predominantly of Protestant denomination. It belonged to the parish of St. Peter's Church in Stolp and was in the church district Stolp-Altstadt in Ostsprengel the ecclesiastical province of Pomerania of the Prussian Union of churches .
Almost without exception, Catholic church members have lived in Ryczewo since 1945 . The parish is still in Słupsk and belongs to the dean's office Slupsk Wschód ( Stolp-Ost ) in the diocese of Köslin-Kolberg of the Catholic Church in Poland . Protestant church members living here are assigned to the parish of the Kreuzkirche in Słupsk in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
