Local history

Zuchen is first mentioned in a document in 1472 as a district of Redel . In later years the village became the property of the Manteuffel family . In 1666 Cono von Redel ( feudal man from Manteuffel- Arnhausen ) and Adrian von Kriesen (feudal man from Glasenapp ) are owners. From 1701 to 1750 Zuchen came into the possession of the von Pfuel family . After that, the owners change frequently until Hugo Splittgerber is the last owner before 1945.

The Friedrichsborn and Hagelbeck farms and the Seeligsfelde colony (Polish: Szeligowo), which later became an independent municipality, belonged to the village of Zuchen . In 1865 280 people lived in 38 households in 19 farm buildings in Zuchen, in 1939 there were still 200 inhabitants in 44 households with a community area of ​​504.5 hectares.

Agriculture and forestry were in the hands of the manor and several farmers. The potato cultivation occupied an excellent position. Most of it was processed in the Redel distillery .

Trade and handicrafts were represented in the village by a roofing, cartwright, mill and turnery as well as tailoring and shoemaking, plus a grocery store and a fish shop.

The last German mayors were August Behnke (until 1929), Richard Bärwalde (1929–1944) and Albert Pauly (1944–1945). Breeding was in the district court area of Bad Polzin , the police duties were carried out by Oberlandjäger Bahr from Brunow .

Until 1945, breeding with Seeligsfelde (1937-1945: Eichfelde) (Szeligowo) and Redel (Redło) belonged to the district of Redel, which was last headed by Emil Marquard, and was in the district of Belgard (Persante) .
