Rzuszcze (German Ruschütz ) is a village in the municipality of Główczyce in the Powiat Słupski ( Stolp district ) of the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship .

Geographical location

Rzuszcze is located in Western Pomerania , about 33 kilometers northeast of the town of Słupsk ( Stolp ) and five kilometers east of the church village Główczyce ( Glowitz ) in a valley surrounded by hills. The Buchenberg and Ludwigsberg in the south and the Blocksberg in the east belonged to the municipality before 1945.

history

The former manor, which is called Rusche or Rutze in old documents and which was later called Ruschitz and then Ruschütz , was formerly a fief of the Kleist family . In 1499 the Pomeranian Duke Bogislaw X enfeoffed his councilor Jürgen Kleist with Ruschütz, which the brothers Martin and Tetzlaff Puttkamer had bought from members of the Damerow family. The associated village was laid out in the form of a small alley village. In 1717 Joachim Ewald von Kleist was the owner of the village. After his death in 1740, his sons agreed that the eldest son, Lieutenant Franz Casimir von Kleist, would own the village for 12,000 Reichstaler . To 1784 there was a Vorwerk, eight farmers, three in Ruschütz Kossäten , a blacksmith, a schoolmaster and a total of 31 households. At that time, mostly Kashubian was spoken in Ruschütz . Ruschütz used to be the headquarters of the Kashubians in Western Pomerania. The estate was also owned by members of the Kleist family in the 19th century. In 1910 Hans von Kleist is named as the owner of the estate. After his death in 1924 Ewald von Kleist inherited it. He had to sell it in 1930. The estate was settled before the Second World War .

In 1925 there were 34 residential buildings in Ruschütz. In 1939 there were 506 inhabitants living in 109 households and there were 77 farms.

Before 1945 Ruschütz belonged to the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the province of Pomerania . The community area was 1,172 hectares. There were two places of residence in the municipality:

  • Ruschütz
  • Sophienthal

Sophienthal was formerly a Vorwerk. Before 1945 there was a general store and an inn in the village.

Towards the end of the Second World War, Ruschütz was occupied by the Red Army on March 9, 1945 . Prior to this, refugees had arrived from East Prussia . A Soviet command post was established in the village . Numerous villagers were abducted, many of whom never returned. In 1946 a Polish administration was established and Poles occupied the houses and homesteads. Ruschütz was renamed Rzuszcze . In the same year, the eviction began . First the old people and the East Prussian refugees were deported by the Poles. Most of the remaining village population was expelled on July 26, 1947; a few days later. Many Kashubians from West Prussia settled in Ruschütz .

Later 164 villagers displaced from Ruschütz in the Federal Republic of Germany and 181 in the GDR were identified.

In 2006 the village had 308 inhabitants.
