Słonowice ( German Groß Schlönwitz) is a village in the powiat Słupski of the Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland . It belongs to the rural municipality of Kobylnica .

Geographical location

The street village Słonowice is fourteen kilometers southwest of the district town of Słupsk (Stolp) and seventeen kilometers southeast of Sławno (Schlawe) . The villages Dobrzęcino (Dubberzin) and Słonowiczki (Klein Schlönwitz) belong to the village .

Słonowice (Schlönwitz Bahnhof) is a train station on the Piła – Ustka railway line . It is on a side road that branches off from Landesstraße 6 (=  Europastraße 28 ) (formerly Reichsstraße 2 ) at Reblino (Reblin) and leads to Wrząca (Franzen) with a junction via Kczewo (Egsow) and Tychowo ((Wendisch) Tychow) at Voivodship Street 209 .

A stream (Egsower Bach) flows through the place in a north-south direction , which rises at Runowo Sławieńskie (Klein Runow) and later flows into the Bystrzenica (Biesternitz) , a tributary of the Wieprza (Wipper) .

Surname

Groß Schlönwitz, formerly just Schlönwitz , also occurs in the name forms Schlennewitz or Schlönnewitz . There was a place of the same name Schlönwitz in the district of Belgard (Persante) as well as the name Słonowice in today's powiat Białogardzki .

The name is derived either from the Slavic slono (= salty) or from slonce (= sun).

history

The villages of Schlönwitz and Dubberzin belonged to the von Kleist family , who probably took them over from the von Puttkamer family . Around 1840 Mathias von Puttkamer sold the Malchow estate (now in Polish: Malechowo) and bought Kummerzin (Komorczyn), Dubberzin (Dobrzęcino) and Schlönwitz. In 1510 parts were pledged to the von Below family , so that they are called in Schlönwitz until 1549.

In 1655/56 the von Kleist and von Krockow families are again named as owners, the latter probably by marrying into the von Below family. In 1773 the village is wholly owned by the von Krockow family. Around 1840 Waleska Countess von Krockow married Captain Hermann von Blumenthal from Quackenburg (Kwakowo), and the Schlönwitz estate remained in the possession of this family until 1945.

Groß Schlönwitz was burned down by the French during the Napoleonic Wars , then rebuilt. In 1939 the manor house and several stables burned. A reconstruction or new building was destroyed by the outbreak of World War II .

In 1939 there were 404 inhabitants in Groß Schlönwitz who lived in 93 households. In 1818 the village was inhabited by 233 people. The elementary school, located in the middle of the village, was single-class until World War I and was then expanded into two-class.

Until 1945 Groß Schlönwitz belonged to the Franzen district (Wrząca) in the Schlawe district . The last German head of office was Rittmeister a. D. Otto Puttkamer. The registry office was also located in Franzen, and the competent district court was Schlawe (Sławno). Friedrich Hein was mayor of Groß Schlönwitz until he was abducted by the "Red Army" in 1945.

In 1945 the residents fled from the approaching Soviet troops, but were caught up and forced to return. There were numerous shootings and kidnappings. The population was expelled and Groß Schlönwitz came into Polish hands under the name Słonowice. Today it is a village of Gmina Kobylnica (Kublitz) .

Local division until 1945

Before 1945 there were still three living spaces in the Groß Schlönwitz community:

  1. Dubberzin ( Polish Dobrzęcino), manor with farm workers' houses, one kilometer to the west, size: 580 hectares
  2. Schlönwitz (train station) (Słonowice - przystanek kolejowy), two kilometers east of the village, apartments for the station master and four families of railway workers as well as settler and peasant families
  3. Small Schlönwitz formerly (Słonowiczki), three kilometers south-lying farming village, young Schlönwitz called

Parish

Groß Schlönwitz was an independent parish until 1945 , to which almost 98% of the population belonged and to which the villages of Besow (Polish: Bzowo), Dubberzin (Dobrzęcino), Egsow (Kczewo), Friedrichshof (Ciechomice), Klein Franzen (Wrząckie), Klein Runow (Runowo Sławieńskie), Klein Schlönwitz (Słonowiczki) and Kummerzin (Komorczyn) were parish.

The parish of Groß Schlönwitz was in the parish of Schlawe in the church province of Pomerania of the Protestant Church of the Old Prussian Union . The church patronage was last exercised by the landowners of Blumenthal (Groß Schlönwitz) and Wolzüge (Dubberzin). In 1940, 2343 parishioners belonged to the parish.

From 1937 to 1939 the rectory in Groß Schlönwitz was the illegal seminary of the Confessing Church under Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Eberhard Bethge after the Nazi government closed the Finkenwalde seminary near Stettin.

Today Słonowice belongs to the parish of Słupsk (Stolp) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Polish Evangelical-Augsburg Church .

The numerically few Catholic inhabitants of Groß Schlönwitz belonged to the parish in Stolp until 1945.

Today the former Protestant parish church is assigned to the Catholic Church in Poland and serves as a place of worship for the Słonowice Catholics.

Village church

The origins of the former Protestant parish and since 1945 Catholic branch church of St. Stanislaus Kostka (kościół św. Stanisława Kostki) are likely to go back to the 13th and 14th centuries. The bell tower from the 14th century (inscription on the old bell, cast in 1336) still comes from the old building stock. It consists of brickwork with individual walled-in field stones .

The rest of the church building was only built after 1892 in the neo-Gothic style. The Renaissance baptismal font from 1658 and the baroque pulpit are likely to come from the earlier church. The pulpit rests on a praying angel figure on which the four evangelists are depicted with their symbols in rich carving .

The old cemetery of Groß Schlönwitz was on the church property. The grave of Rittmeister Hermann von Blumenthal, who died in 1863, was also located on it.

The new cemetery with a small chapel was a hundred meters north of the town exit on the road to Reblino .
