history

Landestreu farmer, born in 1869

The village was founded in 1783 by German settlers as part of the so-called " Josefin colonization " after the settlement patent of Emperor Josef II. On September 17, 1781.

As with all the other newly established villages in Galicia, everything was regulated according to the rules of the Habsburg government - with regard to the layout of the village, the construction of buildings and the administrative acts. Landestreu was laid out as a parallel two-line row settlement , that is, both sides of the street were built on. The two residential streets were only 50 meters apart. Later on, a daughter settlement in Buchenwald was established near the village .

Landestreu belonged to the Kalusch district . It had large and well-tended orchards and it was the only one of all German villages in Galicia to have a water pipe. It served as a cattle trough and was tended by the community itself. Loyal to the country was also known for its salt water springs and a bell foundry that was run by a Geib family for generations. Due to financial difficulties, the family gave them up around the turn of the century and emigrated to America in 1902.

Before 1914, large parts of the German-speaking village population emigrated to Landestreu (renamed MacNutt in 1909 ) in the province of Saskatchewan , Canada , and to the USA. There are crossing documents to Canada from 1907. The last school teacher before the Second World War was Johann Senger; he fell in the war in Eastern Europe.

In 1939 they had to say goodbye after 156 years of German settlement. Due to the German-Soviet border and friendship treaty , the German-born villagers left Landestreu to be resettled in the Reichsgau Wartheland . The farms of the previous Polish owners there were expropriated and the former villagers from Landestreu moved in. After losing the Second World War, many of them fled to the western federal states of the new Germany or to the east, the later GDR.

Religion and parish

During the Galicia period, the villagers were Protestant . The Landestreu branch church belonged to the Ugartsthal rectory of the Evangelical Superintendent of AB Galicia .
