history

Schurow between Stolp (left half of the picture, can be enlarged by clicking) and Lauenburg i. Pom. on a map from 1910.

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1315 in which Waldemar von Brandenburg confirmed the possession of the village as a fief to Casimir Svenzo and his heirs. Between 1274 and 1309 the Swenzonen in the Stolper Land received a total of ten villages, including Schurow, as fiefdoms.

In 1530 Schurow was a fief of the Stojentin family . In 1628 von Wobeser became co-owners of the fiefdom and from 1655 sole fiefdom owners of the village of Schurow. In the 18th century, various families owned individual parts of the Schurow estate until in 1780 Captain Karl Friedrich Wilhelm von Puttkamer bought it as a whole.

To 1784 Schurow had a Vorwerk , a preacher, a sexton, five farmers, two half-farmers, a forge and a wood-keepers home in a total of 21 households.

By decree of the Prussian King, Chamberlain Karl Friedrich Nalencz , from a family of noblemen and lords in New East Prussia , became the owner of Schurow in 1800 . Later Karl Heinrich Ludwig Heyn acquired the estate, which he then bequeathed to his heirs. Leutnant von Below (1884) and Rudolf von Normann (1910) are named as other owners . The latter sells it to the Pomeranian Landgesellschaft , which created 58 settler positions here after the First World War . Some settlements were created north of the place in the direction of Neitzkow (now Polish: Nieckowo) and later called Neu Schurow (Nowe Skórowo).

In 1910, 332 residents were registered in Schurow. Their number increased to 1933 to 512 and was 1939, 474. Until 1945 belonged to Schurow county Stolp in Administrative district Köslin of the Prussian province of Pomerania . The Wobeserhof estate belonged to Schurow as a village .

The community Schurow was the seat of the official and registry office district named after it , into which the places Czierwienz ( Czerwieniec ), Darsow ( Darżewo ) and Vangerske ( Węgierskie ) were incorporated.

Towards the end of the Second World War , Shurov was occupied by Soviet troops on March 9, 1945 and then placed under Polish administration together with all of Western Pomerania. In May and June 1945, Poles took possession of the village and expelled the German residents. Schurow was renamed Skórowo .

Later, 253 villagers displaced from Schurow were identified in the Federal Republic of Germany and 95 in the GDR .

The village is now part of the Gmina Potęgowo in the powiat Słupski in the Pomeranian Voivodeship (1975-1998 Slupsk Voivodeship ). Skórowo now has 253 inhabitants and, as a school authority, is also responsible for Węgierskie ( Vangerske ).
