history

In 1267 the place was called Suracowe , 1290 Cirachowa / Cyracowe and 1301 Cirghowe . Before 1945, the Schlawer community of Zirchow consisted of the farming village of Zirchow A (today Sierakowo Sławieński), the Zirchow B manor (today Sierakówko ) and the Zowenschen Mühle (today Sowieński Mlyn). Zirchow A was to the right and left of the street in east-west direction that used to run along the village stream that was later filled in. On the north side of the road stood the former estate and the church, on the south side the farm workers' houses and in the west the original farmhouses.

Prehistoric finds indicate an early settlement. The place was first mentioned in 1267. In 1287, Duke Mestwin II of Pomerania lent the village to Buckow Monastery . In 1590 the place appeared in the parish registers of the parish of Krangen as a farming village owned by the von Podewils auf Krangen, who sold it in 1692. Thereafter, the von Glasenapp (until 1769), von Zastrow (until about 1790) and von Stempel (until 1839) families were owners. The Damerow family managed the estate until 1895. Between 1905 and 1910 the Detlef von Schlieffen estate from Klein Soltikow acquired . At the end of the 19th century, parts of the property were relocated and in 1927 the property was completely relocated. What remained was a remnant the size of a farm.

In 1818 there were 119 inhabitants in Zirchow. Their number rose to 186 by 1895 and to 419 by 1939.

Before 1945 the community of Zirchow belonged to the district and registry office district Ratteick in the district court area of Zanow in the district of Schlawe i. Pom. in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania .

Shortly before the end of World War II , Zirchow was occupied by the Red Army in early March 1945 . From Zirchow B, the landlords (with the exception of the landowner Lodemann ) fled to the north. Together with some residents of Zirchow A they managed to reach the Baltic Sea and finally made their way to West Germany. The German authorities issued an evacuation order for the village on March 2 or 3, 1945, but only part of the population fled on the trek. The trek was then overrun by Soviet troops, who had occupied the village just two hours after the trek started and the villagers who had fled had to return.

After the end of the war, Zirchow was placed under Polish administration together with all of Western Pomerania . Then the expulsion of the German villagers began. The last Germans left the village on April 23, 1947.

Zirchow A was renamed Sierakowo Sławieńskie by the Poles . The village is now part of Gmina Sianów in the Koszaliński powiat of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Koszalin Voivodeship ).

church

Parish

In 1267 Zirchow (Suracowe) is mentioned when the village was assigned to the church at Nemitz . In 1287 it came to the Buckow monastery and appears - after the Reformation - in 1590 as part of the parish of Krangen .

Before 1945 the population was predominantly of Protestant denomination. Zirchow A was an independent parish to which the place Latzig belonged. Zirchow B was part of the parish of Kösternitz . Like Kummerow, Zirchow A was a subsidiary of Krangen and belonged to the Schlawe church district of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . In 1940 the Zirchow parish had 740 parishioners. The last German clergyman was Pastor Wilhelm Vedder (Krangen).

The few Catholic residents belonged to the church in Pollnow. That changed after 1945, when the new residents were predominantly Roman Catholic . The parish of Sierakowo Slawienskie is now part of the Sulechówko (Klein Soltikow) parish in the Sławno (Schlawe) deanery in the Köslin-Kolberg diocese of the Catholic Church in Poland . The parish has been looking after Pastor Józef Bagniewski (Sulechówko) since 2002.

The few Protestant residents are integrated into the Koszalin parish in the Pomerania-Greater Poland diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Village church

After 1945 the medieval church was expropriated from Protestant property in favor of the Catholic Church. A date of foundation is not known, the building was renovated around 1600. In the tower, the windows that were originally closed at the top with a round arch were replaced by smaller rectangular ones.

In the parish of Krangen, the church in Zirchow was the smallest: a simple hall building with a rectangular floor plan, with walls made of field stones and bricks , closed smoothly in the east, and in the west a squat, unstructured, attached tower made of bricks with a low pyramid roof. The interior decoration included a carved altarpiece and an octagonal pulpit.

Parish vicars 1888–1910

Between 1888 and 1910, special parish vicars were installed in Zirchow to better care for the extensive and extensive Krangen parish, but they did not live in a parsonage, but were housed privately or outside of it:

  1. Sprick, 1888-1893
  2. Emil Witte, 1893-1894
  3. Konrad Anton Reinhold Bartusch, 1894–1896
  4. Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Peter, 1896–1899
  5. Johann Friedrich Ernst Gülzow, 1899–1900
  6. Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Waack, 1900–1903
  7. Karl Wilhelm Harnitz, 1903–1906
  8. Gustav Adolf Stolt, 1907–1910

school

An earlier school was southwest of the church on the north side of the village. In 1911 a new school building with two classrooms and two teacher's apartments was built near them on the road to Zirchow B. The old building was sold at the time and was used as a general store until 1945.

The Zirchow school principals have been recorded by name since 1711.
