Wundichow southeast of Stolp and south of the Pietschker Berg on a map from 1905.

Other forms of name occur: Wunszewe (1376), Wunechow (1601), Wundichow (until 1945).

According to the historical form of the village, Wundichow was a small alley village . In a document from 1376, Jasbow Pirch was enfeoffed with Wundichow, Klein Nossin (now Polish: Nożynko) and Gaffert (Jawory). Wundichow remained in the possession of the von Pirch family for almost 500 years .

Around 1784 there was a Vorwerk in Wundichow , four farmers, two half-farmers , three Kossäts , a smithy, a schoolmaster, on the field of the village the Vorwerk Kartke (or Cartchen) with a total of 13 fireplaces.

In the 19th century, Wundichow became the seat of the von der Marwitz family when Adalbert von der Marwitz on Klein Nossin bought Wundichow from the Pirch family in 1856 and moved his residence to Wundichow. After his death in 1904, Victor von der Marwitz took over the estate and was its last owner until 1945.

The municipality of Wundichow had no associated districts before 1945 and comprised a municipality area of ​​1074 hectares. In 1910 the parish and manor had a total of 338 inhabitants. The number changed to 1933 on 301 and was in 1939 the 310th Wundichow was until 1945 in the southeast of the county Stolp on the border with County Bütow in the administrative district of Koszalin the Prussian province of Pomerania . The last German mayor was Arthur Henke .

Two days before the Red Army marched in on March 9, 1945 , Wundichow had been ordered to evacuate and flee towards Danzig . The trek, however, was overrun by Soviet troops who forced the villagers to return. In the meantime, Wundichow had been occupied by other Russian troops. In the course of 1945 the village was placed under Polish administration together with the whole of Western Pomerania . Subsequently, the local population was based on the so-called Bierut Decrees sold . Only five villagers remained, three of whom soon died. The village of Wundichow was given the Polish name Unichowo . Today the village is part of Gmina Czarna Dąbrówka in the powiat Bytowski in the Pomeranian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Stolp Voivodeship ). In 2011 there were 334 residents here.

At the end of the war, a Russian commandant's office with regional responsibility was set up at the Wundichow estate, including for processing the milk to be delivered here. German women had to milk the cows kept and guarded centrally in Klein Nossin under the supervision of Soviet soldiers. Since the dairy in Wundichow was no longer in operation until the end of the war, the milk was processed with manually operated centrifuges that had been gathered from private households in the region. At the commandant's office there was also a Soviet doctor who, among other things, had to strictly ensure that raped and pregnant German women gave birth to children.
