history

Bernsdorf southeast of Bütow (right half of the picture, can be enlarged by clicking) and northwest of the village of Stüdnitz on a map from 1910.

Ugoszcz is mentioned by name in a document dated February 3, 1350. In another document dated August 10, 1358, Nikolaus von der Frantz , House Commander of the Teutonic Order of Bütow, gave his faithful Bernhard the village of Bernsdorf with his 46 hooves. The document also includes a pastor and a restaurant. 1372 a mill is mentioned in another hand-held festival. 1387 speaks of the village with a mill and inn. In 1438 the village had 36 Zinshufen, a Schulzen, a mill and an inn. In 1560 there were 16 farmers, six kätner , a miller and an innkeeper in Bernsdorf in addition to the Schulzen . By 1572 the number of interest-bearing hooves in the village sank to 32. In 1596 there were two Schulzen, 18 farmers, eight Kätner, a miller and an innkeeper in Bernsdorf.

During the Thirty Years War , the official village of Bernsdorf was badly affected by arson and requisitions. In 1658 there were only two half-schoolers, three farmers, five kätner and the miller in the village. In particular, the Swedish occupation at Bütow Castle forced the city administration to feed them; the city administration felt compelled to fall back on the farms in the surrounding administrative villages. In the period from 1560 to 1561, the number of families living in Bernsdorf fell from 25 to eleven. After the end of the war, the village gradually recovered. In 1687 there were again two Schulzen, seven farmers, three Kätner, a miller and an innkeeper.

In 1730 the mill burned down. In 1750 Bernsdorf had about 250 inhabitants and 52 families lived there. During the reign of Frederick the Great , political measures were taken to revive the national economy, particularly in Western Pomerania. As part of such a campaign, seven families from Bernsdorf were relocated to other villages in the Bütow district in 1763 and 18 families from Demlin in West Prussia were settled in Bernsdorf.

Around 1784 there were 18 farmers in the village, among whom were two free schools and an innkeeper, a blacksmith, a Roman Catholic parsonage with associated agriculture (parish), on whose grounds two families lived, a Lutheran schoolmaster, a forester and all in all 36 households.

In 1855, 755 inhabitants were counted in Bernsdorf, distributed among 160 families. At that time only a few old people spoke Kashubian in the town .

The Feldmark Bernsdorf has the deeper underground one amber and lignite leading Schluffmergel on. As the village chronicle shows, the amber burial site was leased in 1771. In 1865 the once abundant amber graveyard was abandoned because the amber was only found at depths of over 30 meters and mining with the primitive mining methods used until then was no longer worthwhile.

The border between the municipalities of Bernsdorf and Zerrin changed due to an exchange agreement signed on March 30th and May 3rd, 1859 between the former fiefdom mayor Caspar Diedrich zu Bernsdorf and the Zerrin Forestry District, which concerned two parcels of 17 acres and 96 square rods each .

After a temporary population decline in the second half of the 19th century, in 1925 there were 829 inhabitants in the municipality of Bernsdorf, who lived in 171 households.

In 1930 a Polish school was opened.

Before 1945, Bernsdorf belonged to the district of Bütow in the administrative district of Köslin in the province of Pomerania . The 19.8 km² community area housed a total of three residential spaces:

  • Bernsdorf
  • Forsthaus Grünhof
  • Forest workers' farmstead dismantling Stüdnitz

Main place of residence was Bernsdorf. There were a total of 104 residential buildings in the community.

Towards the end of the Second World War , Bernsdorf was occupied by the Red Army in early March 1945 . Soon afterwards, Bernsdorf was placed under Polish administration, together with Western Pomerania . Bernsdorf was renamed Ugoszcz .

Until 1975 the village belonged to the Slupsk Voivodeship . Today it has about 740 inhabitants.

church

The majority of the villagers present in Bernsdorf before 1945 belonged to the Protestant denomination. Among the 829 inhabitants in 1925 were 600 Protestants, 220 Catholics and one Jew. Bernsdorf was the seat of an evangelical rectory (the regional church). The parishes of Gröbenzin and Reckow were parished into the Protestant parish of Bernsdorf, which is responsible for Protestants.

Bernsdorf was also the seat of a Catholic rectory. The parishes of Gröbenzin, Klonschen, Lonken, Polschen, Adolfsheide, Rudolfswalde, Sommin, Sonnenwalde and Stüdnitz were included in the Catholic parish of Bernsdorf.

The Catholic parish church, which stands on a hill, is a rectangular half-timbered building from 1822 with square partitions. The church, which was restored in 1910/12, has a recessed lattice tower.
