history
Sławęcin is an old church village with a mother church. According to documents from the 14th century, the village used to be called Schlawentin . In the period from at least 1333–1752, for more than 400 years, it was a fief of the Blankensee family. In 1419 the village was destroyed in a military conflict between the Kingdom of Poland and the Teutonic Order . After that, the village was owned by the Jagow and Göllnitz families , who each owned half of it. After a Göllnitz had married the heir to Jagow's estate in 1801, the two halves of the village were reunited to form a single estate. In 1829 the 4,921 acre estate was bought by Wilhelm Ferdinand Eben , who bequeathed it to his son Carl Hermann. In the period 1854–1857, the Eben family built a castle on the estate. The estate later had other owners.
In 1925 the municipality of Schlagenthin had 538 inhabitants, who were spread over 108 households. In 1932, part of the estate was sold and then relocated.
Before 1945 Schlagenthin belonged to the county Arnswalde , which in 1938 by the Province of Brandenburg in Pomerania had been reclassified. The community area was 17.1 km². There were a total of three places of residence in the municipality of Schlagenthin:
- Ebenau
- Schlagenthin
- Schlagenthiner mill
The estate was last owned by Gertrud Otto around 1945 .
Towards the end of the Second World War , Schlagenthin was occupied by the Red Army in early March 1945 . Since the Soviet troops suspected the landowner's husband had carried out an attack on her, he was shot and the castle set on fire over his body and burned to the ground. The villagers were forced to dig trenches by Soviet soldiers. After that they were used as human shields, the Germans positioned upright in the line of fire did not fire the German troops.
After the end of the war, Schlagenthin was placed under Polish administration together with all of Western Pomerania . Then Poles came to the village and occupied the houses and farms. Schlagenthin was renamed Sławęcin .
