Słupsk [ ˈswupsk ], German Stolp , is a city in the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship and the administrative seat of the district of the same name .
Geographical location
The city is located in Western Pomerania on the banks of the Stolpe (Słupia) river , around 18 kilometers from the Baltic Sea coast at an altitude of 26 meters above sea level, and extends over an area of 43.15 square kilometers.
The neighboring cities of Koszalin (Köslin) in the southwest and Lębork (Lauenburg i. Pom.) In the east are about 70 kilometers and 50 kilometers away, respectively. The distance to Gdansk in the east is about 110 kilometers and to Stettin in the southwest about 190 kilometers.
history
The Stolper Bär , an amber figure that was found near Stolp before 1887, dates back to prehistoric times . It is exhibited in Szczecin today .
In the 9th century, a Kashubian settlement was built on the east bank of the Stolpe River, at a flat ford, and soon afterwards a castle. In old documents, Stolp is written as Ztulp , Slup , Slupz , Ztulpz , Schlupitzk and Schlupz . A village called Slup was mentioned in a document as early as 1013. The name is possibly derived from the Old Slavic word stlŭpŭ for column or stand - that is, from the fish stand in the river, a device for fishing. A castellany, also known as Land Stolp , belonged to the castle. The trade route from Danzig to Stargard led through the ford at Stolp . From the 12th century the settlement was part of the Duchy of Pomerania , ruled by the noble family of the Griffin , which was under Polish influence from 1121, German from 1181 and Danish from 1186 to 1227.
After a sideline of the griffins died out due to the death of Duke Ratibor II and the collapse of Danish supremacy over Pomerania, the Stolper Land and Stolp Castle came into the possession of the Dukes of Pomerania from the Samborid dynasty in 1227 and remained so until its extinction in the male line in 1294. The Duchy of the Samborids had achieved complete independence from Krakow in 1227, after the assassination attempt on Duke Leszek I under Swantopolk II . In 1240, Stolp is mentioned as the location of a certificate from Swantopolk II, in which he exchanged the village of Ritzow in Stolper Land (Latin for dyocesi Zlupensi ) for two horses for his chaplain Hermann . Duke Swantopolk II. Of Pomerania in 1265 gave the town the city charter by Lübischem law . In 1276 merchants and craftsmen from Westphalia and Holstein founded a new settlement on the west bank of the river. Two years later a Dominican monastery was founded. After Duke Mestwin II died in 1294 without leaving a male heir, the Pomeranian succession dispute broke out . Although Pommerellen had shaken off the sovereignty of the Krakow dukes in 1227, Mestwin II had concluded a succession treaty in Kempen in 1282 without consulting the Pomeranian Griffins and without considering earlier contracts with Przemysław II , then Duke of Greater Poland . This led to the fact that after Mestwin II's death, Polish and Bohemian rulers tried to succeed the rulers in Pomerania, one after the other: Przemysław II (1294-1296), Władysław I. Ellenlang (1296-1299 and 1306-1308), and Wenceslaus II. (1299-1305). Wenceslaus III , the successor of Wenceslas II and Polish titular king , awarded the lands of Schlawe and Stolp to the Brandenburg Ascanians in exchange for the Lausitz region and an alliance against Władysław I. Ellenlang. The Brandenburgers had already bought up the liens on these lands from Wizlaw II , Prince of Rügen, in 1277 . After the fatal attack on Wenceslaus III. Władysław I. Ellenlang prevailed again in 1306 as ruler of Pomerania. The Swenzonen , high Pomeranian administrative officials, were previously entrusted with the administration of Pomerania by the kings of Bohemia. These fell out with Władysław I. Ellenlang and declared themselves Brandenburg vassals in 1307. In 1308 the Brandenburg margraves marched on behalf of the Swenzones in Pomerania and tried to enforce their previously acquired rights militarily. But in the same year they were ousted from Danzig and the eastern parts of Pomerania by the Teutonic Knights . But they were able to hold their own in the Land of Stolp. Margrave Waldemar finally entrusted the Swenzonen family with the administration of the land .
In 1309 the Polish Duchy of Pomerania was effectively divided between two German feudal states in the Treaty of Soldin . The western part with the states of Stolp, Schlawe, Rügenwalde and Bütow went to the Brandenburgers, the larger part with the main fortress of Danzig to the Teutonic Order . On September 9, 1310, Stolp's Lübische right granted to the city in 1265 was expanded by Margrave Waldemar and confirmed again in 1313.
In 1317 , the Pomeranian Duke Wartislaw IV. Acquired the Brandenburg property of Pomerania, including the town and country of Stolp, from the Griffin family and tied them more closely to the Griffin family. After Stolp became prosperous, the citizens acquired the port of Stolpmünde and the village of Arnshagen in 1337 . Between 1329 and 1388 the city was pledged three times to the Teutonic Order by the Pomeranian dukes Bogislaw V , Barnim IV and Wartislaw V , who had run into financial difficulties due to numerous wars. Because the dukes could not redeem the city, but the residents did not want to live under the rule of the order, the citizens themselves raised the transfer fee of 6,766 silver marks according to Luebisch weight . That was an enormous amount for the time. In 1365 Stolp became a member of the Hanseatic League and in 1368 was granted the right to mint finch's eyes .
In devastating fires of 1395 and 1477, the city burned down except for the town hall, remains of the city fortifications with a few gate towers, the churches and a few houses. In 1478 the plague raged in the city. In 1497 a flood caused great damage. In 1481 Stolp took part in a peace alliance between the Pomeranian and penal cities. In 1507, Duke Bogislaw X. had the Stolper Castle built. The city was repeatedly ravaged by fires and epidemics between 1544 and 1589. Around two thousand people were killed. Years of dispute with the dukes left the city impoverished and forced them to withdraw from the Hanseatic League. In 1630 Stolp was conquered by Sweden in the Thirty Years War . Wallenstein's troops occupied the town in 1637. Swedish troops under General Banner drove it out and completely ruined Stolp. After the end of the war in 1648, Stolp fell to Brandenburg in the Peace of Westphalia, like all of Western Pomerania . In 1655 the city was ravaged again by a fire. In the 17th and 18th centuries, cruel witch trials took place in Stolp. In the winter of 1708/09 there was very strong frost in Western Pomerania, and in February 1709 the Stolpe flooded after heavy rainfall, and the area from the city wall to the old town was flooded.
In 1769 Frederick the Great founded a cadet institute for the Pomeranian nobility in Stolp on the recommendation of his chief finance, war and domain councilor Franz Balthasar Schönberg von Brenkenhoff . The institution, which stood on the corner of Langen Strasse near the castle, was initially only designed for 48 cadets, who were taught, accommodated and fed free of charge. In 1777 the cadet house received extensions; For this purpose, two adjacent town houses were bought and demolished. The number of cadets was then increased to 96 in 1778; in the three-story cadet house was taught in six classes. In 1793, 96 cadets were also trained there. One of the teachers at the school was the well-known topographer and non-fiction author Christian Friedrich Wutstrack . There were also Royal Prussian cadet schools in Berlin , Potsdam , Kulm and, since 1793, in Kalisch . In 1788 Wutstrack founded a public library in Stolp, which contained several thousand volumes. The Wutstrack library was later partially incorporated into the cadet school.
During the Franco-Prussian War between 1806 and 1807, Polish troops formed from insurgents who had invaded Pomerania succeeded in occupying Stolp for a week on February 19 .
From 1807, Stolp was the only such institution in Prussia due to the loss of the cadet institutes in Kulm and Kalisch and the closure of the cadet institute in the Potsdam military orphanage . It was therefore moved to more central Potsdam in 1811; The city used the building in Stolp as a home for the disabled.
After the Prussian administrative reforms after the Congress of Vienna , Stolp belonged to the district of the same name in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania from 1816 and became the seat of the district administration. In 1848 the Stolper shipowners had 25 merchant ships. In 1857 Stolp received a grammar school. In 1862 a gas works was put into operation in Stolp. The Köslin – Stolp railway line was opened in 1869, followed by the extension to Sopot a year later, and the Stolp – Stolpmünde line in 1878 . In 1894 the construction of the circular railway to Rathsdamnitz began. On April 1, 1898, Stolp left the district and formed its own urban district with around 26,000 inhabitants . Construction of the new town hall began in 1899 and was completed with the inauguration on July 4, 1901. At the beginning of the 20th century, Stolp had an old castle, a new town hall, a Bismarck monument , a grammar school connected to the upper secondary school, a fräuleinstift and was the seat of a regional court. In 1910 the Kaiser Wilhelm monument was inaugurated on the town hall forecourt in the presence of the imperial family.
In 1910 Stolp got a tram network with four lines in meter gauge and in 1926 an airfield .
Until the Second World War , Stolp was a garrison location and a commercial town with an important furniture industry, amber processing, machine factories and embroidery. Stolp became known beyond the Pomeranian borders, among other things, through the Camembert Stolper Jungchen, which has been produced there since August 21, 1921 in the cheese dairy of the southern German manufacturer Heinrich Reimund . This soft cheese is now back in the km 25 of Slupsk City Zielin remote (dt. Sellin ) produced.
Around 1930 the district of Stolp had an area of 41.9 square kilometers and there were 2,271 residential buildings in eleven different residential areas in the city area:
- Covering shop
- At the Dornbrink
- Expansion at Gumbin
- Chausseehaus near Neumühl
- Hildebrandtshof
- Wage Mill
- Saint George
- Schützenheim
- Stumble
- Forest hangover
- Fulling Mill
In 1925 there were 41,605 inhabitants in Stolp, who were distributed over 10,921 households.
In 1938 the radio station Stolp was established.
Women pen
In 1288 a Premonstratensian nunnery was founded in Stolp , which was subordinate to the abbot of the Belbuck monastery. After the Reformation in Pomerania, Duke Barnim II moved in the property of the women's monastery in 1669 and allocated certain income to the women of the monastery. This enabled this church institution to continue to exist as a women's foundation.
Parties and elections until 1945
Politically, Stolp was considered a liberal stronghold until the First World War . The Progressive People's Party (FVP) won 43.3% of the vote and the SPD 30.9% in the 1912 Reichstag election . In the Weimar Republic, the picture changed. In the 1924 Reichstag election , 44.3% of the residents of the German National People's Party (DNVP) voted. One reason for this was the feeling of insecurity that arose after Stolp suddenly found itself in a border region due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty and the resulting separation of the Polish Corridor - the new Polish border was only about 50 km away from the city.
Before the National Socialist takeover of power on January 30, 1933, the city parliament of Stolp with 37 seats was composed as follows: 17 civil unity lists, 15 SPD, 2 NSDAP , 1 DDP, 2 others. In the last free Reichstag election in Stolp on November 6, 1932 , 36.1% voted for the NSDAP, 24.4% for the SPD, 23.0% for the DNVP and 7.8% for the KPD.
After the takeover of power, freedom of opinion was no longer guaranteed. Nevertheless, on March 12, 1933, the NSDAP was unable to win a majority in the city parliament with 16 seats, the SPD and the Black-White-Red (KSWR) each won 10 seats. In the Reichstag election on March 5, 1933 , the National Socialists did not receive a majority of votes from Stolp either; 49.5% voted for the NSDAP . With the introduction of the Prussian Municipal Constitutional Law of December 15, 1933 and the German Municipal Code of January 30, 1935, the leader principle was enforced at the municipal level on April 1, 1935 .
In the Reichsbahn repair shop in Stolp there was an external labor camp of the Stutthof concentration camp .
Expulsion and the time after 1945
On March 8, 1945, the Red Army took Stolp without a fight and burned down the city center the following night. The city was placed under the administration of the People's Republic of Poland in April 1945 . She introduced the place name Słupsk for Stolp , drove out the established inhabitants until 1947 and settled the place with Poles .
From 1945 to 1950 Słupsk belonged to the administrative region III ("Pomorze Zachodnie", West Pomerania) formed in March 1945, which from 1946 was called the Szczecin Voivodeship ("Województwo szczecińskie", 1945-1950), then until 1975 to the Koszalin Voivodeship . During the existence of the Slupsk Voivodeship between 1975 and 1998, it was its capital. Since 1998, Slupsk has belonged to the newly formed Pomeranian Voivodeship .
Current condition
Today the city is an industrial center of the region; Agricultural machinery, ship accessories, furniture, confectionery, shoes, household goods and cosmetics are manufactured in the city. Large shopping centers emerged in the periphery. The Słupsk Special Economic Zone in the north of the city has offered tax breaks for companies wishing to settle here for a period of ten years since 1997. Słupsk is also home to many educational institutions. There is a teaching college, a marketing and management college, various high schools and technical colleges. Culturally, Słupsk attracts with many historical buildings, the Central Pomeranian Museum, the city orchestra, a theater, a puppet theater, galleries, libraries and cinemas. Because of its proximity to the Baltic Sea and the seaside resort of Ustka (Stolpmünde) , the city is also a tourist center in summer. The Swepol high-voltage direct current transmission substation has been located near Slupsk since 2000 . 2014, the city was awarded the European Prize awarded for their outstanding efforts to idea of European unification.
