Sławsko

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sławsko (German name Alt Schlawe , formerly Altenschlawe ) is a village in the rural community Sławno ( Schlawe ) in the Sławno district of the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship .

Geographical location

The farming village of Sławsko ( Alt Schlawe ) is located in Western Pomerania , three kilometers northeast of the district town of Sławno ( Schlawe ). Neighboring places are: in the west and north Sławno , Radosław ( Coccejendorf ), Tokary ( Deutschrode ) and Staniewice ( Stemnitz ), in the east and south Wrześnica ( Freetz ) and Warszkowo ( Alt Warschow ).

In the south of the village there is a meadow on the river Wieprza ( Wipper ) with about 15 meters above sea level, in the north and west arable land, about 30 meters above sea level, and in the east heathland. Shortly after leaving the village in the direction of Staniewice is the so-called Alt Schlawer See .

Place name

The place name is derived from Schlawe Castle, which was built on a raised ground on the left bank of the Wipper in 1186 . Forms of the name are Zlavinia (1186) and Sclawena (1265), then also Alten Schlawe or Alten Schlage . Until 1317, the name Schlawe always referred to the castle, and only then did the newly founded town of Schlawe .

history

The village of Alt Schlawe was built on the site of the former Schlawe Castle, which was first mentioned in 1186 as Zlavinia Castle . It was the seat of the descendants of the Duke Ratibor I of Pomerania . In 1271 Detlev von Schlezen became the first bailiff of the castle, and in 1273 Duke Mestwin II of Pomerania took the castles in the land of Stolp and Schlawe as a fief from the Margrave of Brandenburg .

Since the beginning of the 13th century there was a religious house of the Johanniter in addition to the castle . In 1402 the castle was destroyed by the Schlawe citizens and the name "Alt Schlawe" (Olden Slawe) was mentioned by Duke Bogislaw VIII . The castle elevation, the wall and the moat were leveled at the end of the 19th century.

The oldest farms in the village had been in the family since the 16th century. Around 1780 Altenschlawe was a so-called 'knight-free Vorwerk' with 637 acres of land. With 38 fireplaces (households) the village was one of the largest villages of the Rügenwalder office . In 1818 411 inhabitants lived here, the number of which rose to 1046 by 1895 and was 852 in 1939.

At the beginning of March 1945 the Red Army occupied the village without resistance. When the town of Schlawe was bombarded, the farmsteads and mill in Alt Schlawe went up in flames. From June 1945 the houses and farms were occupied and taken over by Polish and Ukrainian immigrants, who came mainly from areas east of the Curzon Line . The expulsion of the locals began with reference to the so-called Bierut decrees . Many Alt-Schlawer were abducted or could only reach the West at the end of December 1946.

Under the name Sławsko, the village of Alt Schlawe is now part of the Gmina Sławno in the Powiat Sławieński of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship ( Stolp Voivodeship until 1998 ) with 860 inhabitants.

Parish / Parish

Before 1945, the population of Alt Schlawe was without exception of the Protestant denomination. The village was the parish seat for the parish of the same name , to which in addition to the parish Alt Schlawe with Deutschrode (Tokary) also the parishes Freetz (Wrześnica) and Stemnitz (Staniewice) with Wilhelmine (Wilkowice) belonged. In 1940 the entire parish had 2904 parishioners, of whom 970 belonged to the Freetz parish and 954 to the Stemnitz parish. Until 1928 the parish belonged to the parish of Rügenwalde (Darlowo), for Kirchenkreis then Schlawe (Sławno) of the ecclesiastical province of Pomerania of the Prussian Union of churches .

Since 1945, predominantly Roman Catholic residents have lived in Sławsko . The Roman Catholic Church in Poland set up its own parish here on January 24, 1986 , which was assigned to the Sławno deanery in the Köslin-Kolberg diocese . Around 2000 parishioners belong to it, who are spread over a total of four parishes: in addition to the mother church Sławsko, the subsidiary churches Pieszcz ( Peest ), Radosław ( Coccejendorf ) and - as before 1945 - Staniewice ( Stemnitz ). Evangelical church members living here belong to the parish of Koszalin ( Köslin ) or Słupsk ( Stolp ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Parish church

The simple brick church was built as a three-aisled hall church with a large, massive west tower on a hill as early as the 14th century. In 1489 - after the place had lost its importance - it was completed in a simple form. Individual parts such as the window, tower, gable and south entrance were renewed. The large gable roof tower has some interruptions that expand inwards, suggesting that the tower was used for defense purposes.

Before 1945, the three-part Renaissance altar structure, the granite baptismal font and the brass baptismal font with reliefs from 1697 were impressive.

Used as a Protestant church for more than four hundred years, the Alt Schlawer Church was expropriated in favor of the Catholic Church after 1945. On July 22, 1947, it was re-consecrated and named Kósciół św. Piotra i Pawła subordinate to the patronage of St. Peter and Paul .
