history

Sorchow east of Stolpmünde on the Baltic Sea (left half of the picture, can be enlarged by clicking) and northeast of Stolp on a map from 1910.

The castle ramparts on a hill promontory on the Wiesental between Sorchow and Lankwitz come from prehistoric times. Sorchow originally consisted of three parts: one part was Janitz 's fiefdom, the other two parts were Bandemer 's fiefdom. It was not until 1780 that Rittmeister Johann Diterich von Janitz united the entire village in his hand.

By 1784 Sorchow had three farms , five farmers and seven kossäts in a total of 21 households.

In 1793 a Braunschweig from Kolberg (today in Polish: Kołobrzeg) is named as the owner of Sorchow and also Brenkenhofsthal (Przybynin) and Papsteinthal. Since 1841 Philipp von Braunschweig was the master of Sorchow, which passed to his eldest son Richard in 1855 , who died in Sorchow in 1884. His son Barnim then took over the property, which in 1905 passed to his son Egon , the last master on Sochow. In 1938 the manor had an operating area of 1249 hectares. In addition to the estate, there were 18 other farms in Sorchow.

In 1910 there were 404 inhabitants registered in Sorchow. Their number was 340 in 1933 and only 316 in 1939.

Until 1945 Sorchow belonged to the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania . The municipal area included the three districts Abbau, Barnimshöhe and Privatforsthaus. At that time Sorchow was also the seat of the official and registry office district of the same name , in which, in addition to Sorchow, the communities Lankwitz (now Polish: Łękwica), Schojow (Zgojewo), Wendisch Buckow (1938–45 Buchenstein , now Bukowa) and Wendisch Silkow (1938–45 Schwerinshöhe) , now Żelkow) were incorporated. District court district was Stolp .

On March 9, 1945, Soviet troops occupied the place without a fight. In June 1945, Poles came to Sorchow and set up an administrative office here after taking possession of all the houses and apartments. The village population was expelled from Sorchow due to the so-called Bierut decrees , the last inhabitants had to leave the place on August 8, 1947. 119 villagers displaced from Sorchow were later identified in the Federal Republic of Germany and 88 in the GDR . Sorchow became the Polish Żoruchowo , which today belongs to Gmina Główczyce in the Powiat Słupski in the Pomeranian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Slupsk Voivodeship ). 574 people now live here.
