Turowo (German Thurow, Neustettin district ) is a village in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship . It belongs to the Gmina Szczecinek ( rural community Neustettin ) in the Powiat Szczecinecki ( Neustettiner Kreis ).
Geographical location
Turowo is located seven kilometers south of the district town of Szczecinek ( Neustettin ) on the Polish state road 11 (here section of the German Reichsstraße 160 ), which runs from Kołobrzeg ( Kolberg ) via Koszalin ( Köslin ) to Piła ( Schneidemühl ) and on via Posen to Bytom ( Upper Silesia) ( Bytom ) leads. In the village, a side road coming from Wilcze Laski ( Wulfflatzke ) meets the trunk road.
In 1879, the Thurow (Kr. Neustettin) train station (now in Polish: Turowo Pomorskie) was built and since then it has been connected to the Piła – Ustka ( Schneidemühl – Stolpmünde ) railway .
Place name
The German place name Thurow can be found several times in Germany today, while there are ten places in Poland with the name Turowo . The place name Thurow has a reference to aurochs in Wendish, Pomoran "Tur" = aurochs. Taurowo is called in Wendish "aurochs forest".
history
The village of Thurow was commissioned by Duke Barnim IX. Founded by the Neustettiner Hans Mandeke in the years after 1543. On November 15, 1543, the Duke gave him an eternally vacant Schulzenamt with two hooves of land (5–10 ha) on the "desert" Feldmark Thurow with the condition that a farm with a house and barn would be established there within three years. Mandeke should encourage others to settle so that the hooves would be occupied and cultivated over time. The condition for the settlement was that Mandeke should keep a Schulzenklöpfer (Schulzenpferd) at his expense and at the disposal of the office after 10 years of free time. Mandeke became the first village mayor and received permission to open a bar. He put the village of Thurow on 10 farmers with two hooves each.
From 1543 to 1945 Thurow belonged as a German village to the district of Neustettin , which was integrated into the administrative district of Köslin until 1938 and was then reclassified into the newly formed administrative district of Grenzmark Posen-West Prussia .
At that time, the localities of Münchowshof (now in Polish: Miękowo), Forsthaus, Thurowkrug and Wegnershof (Janowo) belonged to the municipality of Thurow . The place itself was an official village and the municipalities Hütten (near Gellin) (Sitno) and Labenz (Łabędź) belonged to its district . District court area was Neustettin .
In 1910 the municipality Thurow had 720 inhabitants. Their number rose to 740 by 1925, was 725 in 1933 and grew to 798 by 1939.
Since 1945, now part Turowo village called as a district ( mayor's office ) to the Polish Gmina Szczecinek in szczecinek county in the province West Pomerania and counts 950 inhabitants.
Thurow registry office
Until 1945, Thurow was an administrative village and the seat of a registry office . Most of the civil status lists from the period between 1874 and 1938 have been preserved and are kept in the registry office 1 in Berlin (center), in the Köslin State Archives (Archiwum Państwowe w Koszalinie) and in the registry office (Urząd Stanu Cywilnego) in Szczecinek.
church
First Thurow belonged to the parish in Neustettin. Going to church in all weathers was long and difficult. The Thurow farmers complained several times and demanded a church for Thurow. In the period from 1602 to 1622 (different dates in different sources) the first chapel was built in the cemetery west of the road to Hütten. When this chapel became too small and dilapidated for the villagers, today's stone church was built in 1847 (Protestant until 1945), initially without a bell tower. The current bell tower (27.70 m high) was built later in 1906.
As a result of the Second World War , the two side galleries disappeared from the church, as did the organ. On August 6, 2012 the church received a new organ, an electronic instrument. It is a donation from Otto Below from Bergfeld in Schleswig-Holstein , son of the former Thurower teacher, cantor and organist Otto Below.
Church / parish
Thurow was an old church village and has remained so to this day. Before 1945 the population of the place was predominantly of Protestant denomination.
In 1940, the Thurow parish had 800 parishioners, had been a branch parish in the parish of St. Nikolai Church in Neustettin and was provided for by the owner of the second parish (former “deacon”). It belonged to the Neustettin parish in the eastern district of the Pomeranian church province of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The church records with the names of the baptized, confirmed, married and deceased from the years between 1788 and 1815 have been preserved from the period before 1945 and are now kept in the State Archives in Koszalin.
Since 1945 there has been an almost exclusively Catholic population in Turowo . The church was expropriated in favor of the Catholic Church and on July 1, 1947 as “St. Joseph's Church ”(Kościół św. Józefa) was rededicated. In 1980, a parish of its own was established in Turowo, to which the parish Wilcze Laski ( Wulfflatzke ) belongs and has almost 2000 parish members. It is in the area of the Deanery Szczecinek in the Diocese of Köslin-Kolberg of the Catholic Church in Poland .
Protestant church members living here now belong to the parish of Koszalin ( Köslin ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland . Szczecinek is a branch church within the parish district.

School and teacher
Turowo has a primary and a middle school , which are housed in a building with a cafeteria. There is a sports field on the school premises. In the early summer of 2016, the primary school in Turowo and the primary school in Westergellersen in the Lüneburg district officially celebrated their ten-year partnership.
Who was the first teacher in the former Thurow has not yet been conclusively researched. The following are proven: Jakob Pögel, who died in 1770, was a schoolmaster for 38 years according to the sources. Christian Lorenz was a teacher and sexton in Thurow until 1827. He was followed by Ferdinand Kleist until 1850. This was followed by Julius Below, who retired in 1894 after a 50-year term in office. His successor as teacher and organist was his son Heinrich Ernst Otto Below in 1894. Günter Reichow was his successor until 1945. The teacher, cantor and organist Otto Below is immortalized on the two church bells - still clearly visible today.
