history

From prehistoric times to the 13th century

Archaeological traces indicate a settlement as early as Roman times . A fortified settlement was built at the end of the 7th century at the confluence of the Netze and the Warta . At the end of the 9th and beginning of the 10th century , a wall made of earth and wood was built around the place. In 965 the place was completely destroyed by fire, then rebuilt, probably under Prince Boleslaw Chrobry . The fate of total destruction was repeated many times from the 7th to the 15th centuries . Archaeologists have discovered layers of twelve previous settlements. In the 10th century, Santok had a considerable diameter of about 200 meters. In the 11th century a protective castle was built within the settlement, which was replaced in the 14th century by a castle tower measuring 10 × 10 meters.

Medieval watchtower on the Pomeranian border with Poland (restored in 1936).

The first documentary mentions come from the end of the 11th and beginning of the 12th century. The Chronicle of Gallus Anonymus shows that at the end of the 11th century there were two places on the site, a Polish one directly at the fork of the river and a Pomeranian on the north bank of the Warta on the so-called Schlossberg . On this hill there is a medieval watchtower, which today has the function of a lookout tower. In the chronicle, Santok with the name clavem et terris custodiam (watchtower and key of the Polish kingdom) is given great importance. In 1100 the place was known as Santhock and was considered by Polish chroniclers as a strong Pomeranian border fortress ( fortalitum prope Santhock ).

Early 13th century belonged to the place to Wielkopolska to 1234 from Silesia and from 1247 back to Wielkopolska Piast -Fürstentümern. In 1251 Santok was attacked by the Pomeranian Duke Barnim , who was unable to conquer the city. So he built a new settlement on the other side of the Warta. In the middle of the 13th century, the Margraves of Brandenburg became interested in Santok and made claims. These were strengthened by the marriage of the daughter of the Prince of Wielkopolska Konstanze with Konrad , the son of Margrave Johann I , in Santok in 1260. The castellany Santok went to Brandenburg as a dowry . The peace that had been made was very fragile, so that war broke out and the place changed hands again in 1278. When the Polish King Przemysl II died in 1296, the Brandenburgers conquered the place.

1296 to 1945 as part of Brandenburg

With a brief interruption between 1365 and 1370 (death of King Casimir III ), Zantoch remained in Brandenburg from 1296. To make their claims to the place clear, the Poles continued to appoint a castellan of Santok from 1370 until the end of the 18th century . In 1409 the Teutonic Order emphasized to Poland that Santok had always belonged to the Neumark. The rise of the nearby Landsberg an der Warthe (Polish: Gorzów Wielkopolski ) brought a loss of importance for the place. At the beginning of June 1433 the Hussites and Poles began to invade Neumark , on June 4th Zantoch was taken, Landsberg was besieged from June 9th to 15th, the surrounding area of ​​both places was devastated.

In the 18th century, Zantoch consisted of two ownership shares. One part belonged to the property complex of Margrave Friedrich Heinrich von Brandenburg-Schwedt , the remaining part was owned by the Schöning family . During the Seven Years' War , Zantoch was looted, devastated and largely burned down by Russian troops in 1758 . Around 1775 the village was owned by the Schöning and Brandt families .

Zantoch belonged until 1945 to the district of Landsberg (Warthe) in the administrative district of Frankfurt in the province of Brandenburg since 1939. "Mark Brandenburg", the, the German Empire .

Since the Second World War

Towards the end of World War II , Zantoch was occupied by the Red Army on January 20, 1945 . Shortly thereafter, Neumark and Zantoch were effectively placed under Polish administration. In the period that followed, the indigenous population was expelled . Zantoch was renamed Santok .

During an administrative reform, the village was incorporated into the Gorzów Voivodeship in 1975 . After its dissolution, Santok was in the Lebus Voivodeship from 1999 .
