Suchań (German Zachan ) is a small town and seat of a town and country municipality of the same name in the powiat Stargardzki ( Stargard district ) in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship .

Geographical location

The place is located in Hinterpommern am Krebsbach, a tributary of the Ina , about 21 kilometers east of the city of Stargard . State road 10 ( droga krajowa 10 ) Stettin - Bromberg leads through the village .

Houses at the park

A “villa Zukan” is mentioned for the first time in a document from 1269. At that time the Pomeranian Duke Barnim I was in a dispute with the Order of St. John about debt claims against him. The order laid claim to several cities, which also included Zachan. Finally, with the help of Pope, the Johanniter succeeded in getting Zachan into their possession. When Zachan received city rights is uncertain, some sources mention the year 1487. In 1312 they established a Komturitz (administrative seat) there. Also at the end of the 13th century, the lords of Güntersberg had their headquarters in Ravenstein , a current district of Zuchan. In 1545, Zachan changed hands and it was acquired by the court marshal Wolf Borcke . A century later there was another change of ownership when the von Schwerin family acquired Zachan in 1654 . The town belonged to her until 1709. In 1784, Zachan is mentioned in a description of the place as "an open media town belonging to the royal office of Dölitz". It is also said that at that time Zachan had 109 houses, mostly thatched, and 550 inhabitants. In addition to the usual trades, an important linen weaving mill was established.

Until the end of the Thirty Years War , Zachan was under the rule of the Pomeranian dukes. After that, the Pomeranian ruling house died out and Western Pomerania , to which Zachan also belonged, became part of Brandenburg . It was incorporated into the Saatzig district, which became the Saatzig district with the district town of Stargard after the Prussian administrative reform of 1818 . At the beginning of the 20th century there was a Protestant church, a rescue house, a brewery, mills and sawmills in Zachan.

At the end of World War II , the city was 50% destroyed. After the occupation by the Red Army , the city was placed under Polish administration. 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 ” . Subsequently, the German residents of the city of Zachan were evicted by the local Polish administrative authority . Zachan was renamed Suchań .
