Sińczyca ( German Schöningswalde ) is a village in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland . It belongs to the rural community Darłowo ( Rügenwalde ) in the powiat Sławieński ( Schlawe ).

Geographical location

The farming village of Sińczyca is a train station on the PKP line 418 Korzybie ( Zollbrück ) - Sławno ( Schlawe ) - Darłowo ( Rügenwalde ) . The place near Krupy ( Grupenhagen ) is connected to the voivodship road 205 ( Bobolice ( Bublitz ) - Sławno - Darłowo ) via a strait .

The village lies in a flat undulating landscape at an altitude of about 10 meters above sea level. The Łękawica ( Lankwitz ) runs through the eastern Feldmark from Nowy Jarosław ( Neu Järshagen ) to its confluence with the Wieprza ( Wipper ) near Darłowo. Before that, it takes the Krupianka (the mill ditch ), which forms the northern border to the neighboring town of Krupy ( Grupenhagen ). Other neighboring towns are: in the north also Zielnowo ( Sellen ), in the east Nowy Jarosław ( Neu Järshagen ), in the south Domasławice ( Damshagen ) and in the east Darłowo .

Place name

When it was built, the village was called Neues Dorf or Neuendorf . In 1771 it was named "Schöningswalde" after Hans Friedrich von Schöning (1717–1787), the then President of the Pomeranian War and Domain Chamber .

history

In the middle of the 18th century, the city of Rügenwalde followed - not quite willingly - the request of the Pomeranian War and Domain Chamber to clear their forest and set up a colonist village. The clearing began in 1753, and the first colonists arrived a year later.

The new village was originally designed as a double-sided street village. As early as 1784 Schöningswalde had 12 half-farmers and 1 shepherd's cottage. In 1818 there were 132 inhabitants registered here, the number of which rose to 170 by 1933 and was still 150 in 1939.

Until 1945 the place belonged with the neighboring communities Alt Järshagen , Alt Kugelwitz , Neu Järshagen , Neu Kugelwitz and Sellen to the district Järshagen in the district of Schlawe i. Pom. in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania . Regarding the registry office , Schöningswalde was also oriented towards Järshagen, while the competent district court was in Rügenwalde.

On March 6, 1945, Russian soldiers occupied the village, which was overcrowded with refugees. When a 20-kilometer stretch of coast was cleared, the residents were relocated to Bartin . After the return of the city came under Polish administration, and on August 17, 1946 took place the expulsion of the German population. Schöningswalde was named Sińczyca and is now a district of Gmina Darłowo in the Powiat Sławieński of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship . Today the place is home to 143 residents.

church

Protestant church

Before 1945 the population of Schöningswalde was predominantly of Protestant denomination. The village was parish together with Sellen to Grupenhagen , and the Grupenhagen village church was the church of the Schöningswalder. The parish was in the parish of Rügenwalde in the church province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The last German clergyman was Pastor Johannes Heberlein .

Today Protestant church members are assigned to the parish Koszalin ( Köslin ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Roman Catholic Church

The Polish citizens who have lived in Sińczyca since 1945 are almost without exception Roman Catholic . Krupy is still a parish, but no longer as an independent parish, but as a branch church to the parish Stary Jarosław ( Alt Järshagen ) in the dean's office Darłowo in the diocese of Köslin-Kolberg of the Catholic Church in Poland .

school

The schoolhouse, in which about 20 children were taught, was on the village green until 1945. It originated from the settlement period in the 18th century. The last German teacher was Karl Armann .
