Geographical location
Rzeczenica is located in Western Pomerania , about 20 kilometers northwest of the district town of Człuchów ( Schlochau ) on the Polish state road 25 Bobolice ( Bublitz ) - Oleśnica ( Oels ). From this, the Woiwodschaftsstraße 202 branches off in the village to Czarne ( Hammerstein ), while a side street leads from here to Przechlewo ( Prechlau ).
There is no direct train connection. The nearest train station is Czarne ( Hammerstein ) and is 13 kilometers away on route 210 Chojnice ( Konitz ) - Runowo Pomorskie ( Ruhnow ) .
history
Finds from the Middle Bronze Age prove that the place was settled in prehistoric times. 1376 presented Commander Heinrich von Grobitz the nickel Stegers a hand festivals Culm Law and gave him 83 hooves establishing a village.
In 1433 Stegers was badly damaged in a Hussite invasion. A moderately successful amber grave was in operation here until 1865 , and a sawmill, cement factory, dairy and mill were established in the 20th century.
At the beginning of the 1930s, the district of Stegers had an area of 30.5 km², and there were a total of 282 residential buildings in seven different places on the parish grounds:
- Forsthaus Auergrund
- Forsthaus Grunewald
- Moorhof
- New care
- Rosenhof
- Stegers
- Stegersmühle
In 1925, Stegers counted 1,706 inhabitants, who were distributed over 381 households; among them were 1,268 Catholics 438 Protestants.
Before 1945 Stegers belonged to the district of Schlochau , from 1939 to 1945 to the administrative region of Grenzmark Posen-West Prussia in the province of Pomerania .
Towards the end of the Second World War , Stegers was occupied by the Soviet Army on February 25, 1945 . This resulted in a massacre of the civilian population with 40 dead. After the end of the war, Stegers and all of Western Pomerania were placed under Polish administration and renamed Rzeczenica .
After 1945 Rzeczenica was assigned to the southwest of the Słupsk Voivodeship and is located in the powiat Człuchowski. Rzeczenica is part and the official seat of the rural community named after him. Since the administrative reform in 1998 it has belonged to the Pomeranian Voivodeship. Today the place has 1566 inhabitants.

Catholic Church
Before 1945, Stegers was a predominantly Catholic place. In 1925, 74.3% of the population belonged to the Roman Catholic Church. This number increased considerably after 1945.
A first church was mentioned in 1595. In 1876, after the old church was demolished, a new church was built. Today it bears the Polish name Kościół pw. NSPJ i sw. Mikołaja .
As before, Rzeczenica is Steger's parish seat, but today it belongs to the deanery of Czarne ( Hammerstein ) in the diocese of Köslin-Kolberg of the Catholic Church in Poland .
Protestant church
The Protestant church in Stegers was consecrated in 1901. Initially, the Protestant church members from Elsenau (now in Polish: Olszanowo) were parish in the Konitz (Chojnice) parish, whose second pastor, however, had his official residence in Stegers from 1888.
In 1895 the place became an independent parish in the church district Schlochau (Człuchów) of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . In 1907 the places Gotzkau (Gockowo) and Rittersberg (Grodzisko) were incorporated. Pastors here between 1888 and 1945 were: Georg Gottlieb Martin Janke , 1888–1907, Johannes Wilhelm Heinrich Lüpke , 1907–1928, and Friedrich Trömmel , 1930–1945.
Since 1945 the few Protestant church members from Rzeczenica belong to the parish Koszalin ( Köslin ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland . The next place of worship is Szczecinek ( Neustettin ).
