history

Schlackow (formerly also Schlaukow or Schlaukau ) belonged to the Rügenwalde region in the Middle Ages and had to pay the so-called Bischofspfennig to Cammin with the other villages . In 1493 Georg (Jürgen) von Kleist , ducal bailiff in the office of Rügenwalde , received the share from Schlackow. By the middle of the 17th century at the latest, the place had been von Puttkamer 's fiefdom , after that of Bewlow , von Kleist and von Natzmer had previously owned shares. In 1690 all shares were transferred to von Puttkamer .

In 1780, Schlackow had 3 outworks with 4 farmers, 3 cottages , 1 schoolmaster and 3 fishermen's cottages with a total of 17 fireplaces. 175 people lived here in 1818, and their number rose to 335 by 1925.

Gut Schlackow was sold in 1910 by Günther von Puttkamer to Count Wilhelm von Zitzewitz auf Zitzewitz (now in Polish: Sycewice), whose son sold it to the Pomeranian Landgesellschaft in 1937 with the aim of resettlement. In those years, Schlackow had 256 inhabitants.

On March 8, 1945, the Red Army invaded the village. From Christmas 1945 the first Poles took over the farms. In between, Germans were abducted by Russians and Poles to work . At Christmas 1946, all the farmers from Schlackow were driven out , while the farm workers were almost all detained until 1957/58. The Polish administration moved into Schlackow, and the place became part of the Gmina Postomino in the Powiat Sławieński of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Stolp Voivodeship ) under the name Złakowo . 193 residents live here today.

1. Schlackow (train station) , on the Schlawe – Stolpmünde railway line, 1 kilometer south of the village, with two railway-owned houses for employees
