history

After Neustettin was founded in 1310, the Pomeranian dukes Otto I. , Wartislaw IV. And Barnim III. the boundaries of their territory against the diocese of Cammin , in which the village lake is named as "stagnum sparsce". The village Sparsee, which was only founded about 200 years later, derives its name from the lake. The first written mention of the village dates from 1541. According to the "Extract des Amtes Nigen Stettin", the administrative village of Sparsee pays 13 guilders and 12 shillings in lease to the duke every year . Sparsee was created in 1565 by Klaus von Puttkammer .

Sparsee had 1 Lehnschulzen, 1 Krüger, 1 Lehnmüller, 6 service farmers, 11 off-duty farmers (including 1 lumberjack), 4 new farmers, 6 half-farmers, 4 Kossät (including the sexton), 2 Büdner , 1 blacksmith and 40 fireplaces. In the years 1583, 1594 and 1624 there were repeated border disputes between the neighboring villages of Sparsee, which were each decided and settled by officially brought about settlements.

In 1605, Captain Nicolaus von Puttkammer received permission from the sovereign of Neustettin to build a chapel in Sparsee, under the conditions that the church was to be built from durable material and kept in good condition along with the stalls and that every farmer in the community had the chaplain a large bushel of rye and give the schoolmaster his oats.

In 1579 the plague raged in Sparsee, in 1630 the plague wiped out almost all residents of Sparsee. In 1633, as a result of the Thirty Years' War , Sparsee is occupied by a troop of Swedish horsemen under the command of Grothusens. At the end of the 17th century, the so-called “great fire” devastated half of the village. In 1807, smallpox raged in, killing over 30 children.

Sparsee mill (postcard around 1900)

Sparsee had one of the oldest grinding mills in the Neustettiner area, a water mill (with a submerged gangway) on the Küddow, which was already shown on the Lubin map from 1618. The forced meal guests were the inhabitants of the village Sparsee, the Vorwerke Galow and Brandschäferey as well as the fishing families living on the Vilmsee. In 1713 it was mentioned in a document as one of the 15 mills in the Neustettiner Amt. There was also a sawmill next to the mill, powered by the water wheel. The entire mill was dismantled in the post-war period.

At the beginning of the 1930s, Sparsee was the main place of residence in the former municipality of Sparsee in the Neustettin district in the Pomeranian province. The Sparsee municipality was a regional authority with an area of ​​30.7 km². In addition to this place of residence, there were three other places of residence in the Sparsee municipality : Küterort , Mühle and Rittershausen .

Sparsee was the seat of an evangelical rectory (the regional church). To the evangelical parish Sparsee belonged the communities Briesen, Galow, Neugönne, and Sparsee. In the churchyard there is a memorial stone with the inscription: "Our dead in memory of Sparsee 1997" in German and Polish.
