Geographical location
The former farming village is located in Western Pomerania , about 13 kilometers west of Stolp , on the edge of a muddy valley that stretches from Bruskowo Wielkie ( Groß Brüskow ) to Pieszcz ( Peest ) in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship and is traversed by the Motzbach ( Moszczeniczka ). Surrounded by arable land, the place borders on a large forest area in the north and the Stolper Motze in the south.
history
According to the historical shape of the village, Swołowo is a large rural village . In 1240 it was owned by the Johanniter and in the 14th century by the von Below . In 1536 the von Schwawe and later Peter von Glasenapp were named as owners. After that, it was under the Stolp office along with other royal villages.
Around 1784 Schwolow had 15 farmers with 1 free school, 3 kossaet , 3 Büdner (including 1 blacksmith), 1 forester and 1 schoolmaster with a total of 25 fire places. With the regulation, the district village became a farming village, which in 1939 had a total of 39 farms and had 342 inhabitants.
Before 1945, the towns of Blockskaten, Krausenkaten and Lüdtkenkaten belonged to Schwolow. The community was part of the administrative and civil registry district Groß Brüskow in the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania . It belonged to the district court district of Stolp.
Towards the end of the Second World War , Schwolow was occupied by the Red Army in March 1945 . A Soviet command post was then set up in the village . In August 1945 Schwolow was placed under Polish administration by the Soviet Union . Then the immigration of Polish civilians began in Schwolow. Schwolow received the Polish place name Swołowo . The local villagers were evicted in 1946 .
The place is now a district of the Gmina Słupsk (rural municipality Słupsk) in the powiat Słupski of the Pomeranian Voivodeship . From 1975 to 1998 it belonged to what was then the Slupsk Voivodeship . The western local border is the border between the Pomeranian Voivodeship and the West Pomeranian Voivodeship . 240 inhabitants live in Swołowo today.
church
Village church
The Schwolower Church was built around 1400 from bricks on field stone masonry. The west tower and the country house are whitewashed. The tower entrance is ogival, and inside there is a flat wooden ceiling over the nave. Before 1945, the furnishings in the church were simple. A six-sided baptismal font made of tin shows simple decorations in the form of flowers on the edge and a representation of the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan in the middle.
The church, previously a Protestant church for over 400 years, was expropriated in 1945 in favor of the Catholic Church. One of the bells of the Schwolower Church is now in the Trinitatis Church in Braunlage .
Parish
Before the local population was expelled in 1945, the residents of Schwolow were all of the Protestant denomination. As an independent parish , Schwolow was incorporated into the parish of Groß Brüskow , to which seven other places belonged. In 1940 the Schwolow parish had 398 parishioners out of 1238 in the entire parish. They belonged to the church district of Stolp-Stadt in the eastern district of the church province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The last German clergyman was Pastor Heinrich Runkel .
Mostly Catholic church members have lived in Swołowo since 1945 . The parish today, together with the parish Bierkowo ( Birkow ), is a subsidiary of the parish Bruskowo Wielkie ( Groß Brüskow ) in the deanery Ustka ( Stolpmünde ) in the diocese of Köslin-Kolberg of the Catholic Church in Poland .
Protestant church members living here now belong to the parish of the Kreuzkirche in Słupsk ( Stolp ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
