Swarzewo ( German Schwarzau , formerly Schwarsau , Kashubian Swôrzéwò ) is a village in the rural community of Puck ( Putzig ) in the Powiat Pucki ( Putziger district ) of the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship .
Geographical location
The church village is located in the historical West Prussia landscape , west of the Gdansk Bay , on the north bank of the Putziger Wiek , about seven kilometers north of Putzig ( Puck ) and 47 kilometers north of Gdansk .
history
The village was built on an elevation on the Putziger Wiek that was protected from flooding. As grave finds, including old Germanic stone box graves with face urns , prove that the elevations in the region, the so-called 'Kämpen', were already settled in prehistoric times.
In 1340 the place was mentioned under the name Swarsow . Graves from pagan times have been found nearby. The village was awarded to the mayor Conrad on October 16, 1340 by the Danzig order commander Winrich von Kniprode , with 40 hooves according to culmic law and permission to fish in the lagoon with light equipment for personal use. The privilege was later lost in a fire; therefore in 1552 King Sigismund II August of Poland issued a largely identical one.
As a result of the first partition of Poland-Lithuania in 1772, western Prussia with the area around Neustadt and Putzig under Frederick II of Prussia was reunited with the eastern part of the Kingdom of Prussia to the extent that these parts were connected with each other at the time of the Teutonic Order . Schwarzau then belonged to the Kingdom of Prussia . In 1789 Schwarsau is described as a royal village with a Catholic church, a feudal estate and 23 fireplaces (households). In 1845 Schwarzau belonged to the Putzig district and town court.
In 1919 Schwarzau was the county Puck in the administrative district of Gdansk the province of West Prussia of the German Reich assigned.
After the end of the First World War , most of the Putzig district, and thus also the village of Schwarzau, had to be ceded to Poland due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty for the purpose of establishing the Polish Corridor , with effect from January 20, 1920 and without a referendum. The invasion of Poland in 1939 brought the area of the Polish Corridor annexed in violation of international law to the German Reich , and Schwarzau was incorporated into the Neustadt district in the Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia , to which Schwarzau belonged until 1945.
Towards the end of the Second World War , the Red Army liberated the region in the spring of 1945 . Had not fled as far as the German villagers, they were in the period that followed expelled and replaced by Poles.
