Sieciemin (German: Zitzmin ) is a village in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship . It belongs to the urban and rural municipality Sianów ( Zanow ) in the Koszalin ( Köslin ) district.

Geographical location

The farming village of Sieciemin is located two kilometers south of State Road 6 ( Europastraße 28 ) Stettin - Danzig and can be reached via a dead end road from Kawno ( Kaunow ). The municipal administrative center Sianów ( Zanow ) is twelve kilometers away, and the district town of Koszalin ( Köslin ) is 22 kilometers away. The nearest railway station Wiekowo ( Alt Wieck ) on the Stargard Szczeciński – Gdańsk railway is seven kilometers to the north.

Sieciemin borders on the neighboring communities Karnieszewice ( Karnkewitz ) in the west and Ratajki ( Ratteick ) in the south (like Sieciemin both belong to Gmina Sianów), to Pękanino ( Panknin ) in the north and Kusice ( Kuhtz ) in the east (both belong to Gmina Malechowo ( Malchow) )).

Sieciemin is located on a cleared area in the middle of a large forest area. Until 1945 the German proverb applied to the village: " Zitzmin is surrounded by seven mountains and is embedded ". Of these seven mountains, Góra Górka ( Gherkin Mountain ) is the highest at 83 meters . The stream formerly known as Zillnitz rises at its feet and flows into the Polnica ( Pollnitz ) a few kilometers further west .

history

Citzmyn is mentioned for the first time as a table good at Zanow Castle (now in Polish: Sianów). In the 14th century it was owned by Martin Keuteke de Sanow , who called himself Martinus von Sitzewitze from 1347 . In 1386 Zanow belongs to the Cammin monastery , and in 1483 Duke Bogislaw X. (Pomerania) of Pomerania lends the castle and town of Zanow with the villages of Zitzmin and Kuhtz (Kusice) to his chancellor Jürgen Kleist . At the beginning of the 16th century, Zitzmin came to the Buckow monastery , and after its dissolution to the Rügenwalde (Darłowo) office.

Around 1780 there were 14 farmers, 1 Schulzen, 1 Landkossaten , 2 Büdner and 1 Hirtenkaten in Zitzmin with a total of 18 fireplaces. In 1818 352 people lived here. The population rose to 504 by 1895, but then fell to 434 by 1939.

A devastating fire in 1888/89 almost completely reduced Zitzmin to rubble and ashes. Most of the houses therefore date from the time of reconstruction.

Until 1945 the village with Damerow , Martinshagen and Panknin belonged to the district of Panknin in the district of Schlawe i. Pom. the Prussian province of Pomerania . These communities were also connected to one another through a civil registry. The last German mayor of Zitzmin was Willihard Behnke.

On March 4, 1945, Russian troops marched into the village. The place was cleared and the population initially moved to the Pollnow (Polanów) area. She was only able to return in the summer of 1945 and found an empty and looted village. Like all of Western Pomerania , the place was placed under Polish administration, and it was now named Sieciemin . Immigration from Poland began, mainly from the areas east of the Curzon Line that had fallen to the Soviet Union as part of the “ Westward displacement of Poland ” . The German population was expelled . Under the new Polish name, Zitzmin "changed" from the former district of Schlawe i. Pom. in the administrative district of Köslin to the powiat Koszaliński in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Köslin Voivodeship ). Sieciemin is now part of the urban and rural municipality of Sianów .

Parish

The population of Zitzmin was almost without exception Protestant until 1945 . There was an independent parish here, but it was a subsidiary of the parish of Damerow (Dąbrowa). In 1939 the parish of Zitzmin had 430 parishioners. The last German clergyman was Pastor Hans Meinhof. At that time Zitzmin belonged to the parish of Rügenwalde (Darłowo) of the church province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .

Today the inhabitants of Sieciemin are predominantly Roman Catholic . When the Poles took over the village, the remaining population had to adopt the Catholic faith and Polish first names within a few days. Sieciemin is today a parish village, and the parish of Sieciemin still includes the branch churches Dąbrowa ( Damerow ) and Karnieszewice ( Karnkewitz ) as well as the outstation Pękanino ( Panknin ). The parish of Sieciemin, which has around 1,600 parish members, belongs to the deanery Sławno ( Schlawe ) in the diocese of Koszalin-Kołobrzeg ( Köslin-Kolberg ) of the Catholic Church in Poland . The few Protestant church members are looked after by the Koszalin ( Köslin ) parish in the Pomerania-Greater Poland diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg (i.e. Lutheran) Church in Poland .
