history

According to its historical village shape, Wiatrowo was a large rural village . In 1274, Duke Mestwin II of Pomerania awarded the villages of Viatrow and Liepen (now in Polish: Lipno) to the Kolbatz monastery . In 1476 it was a Stojentin fiefdom, in 1690 it passed to Ewald von Puttkamer , and in 1695 to that of Galbrecht .

In 1774 the property came to Christoph von Pirch , who sold it to Wilhelm Leopold von Mitzlaff . To 1784 there was a Vorwerk , four farmers, three Kossäten , a schoolmaster and a total of eleven households.

In 1834 the von Mitzlaffs are still mentioned on Viatrow. After that it had changing owners, the last owner before 1945 was Martin Steifensand .

In 1910 there were 168 inhabitants in Viatrow, in 1933 there were 167, and in 1939 Steinfurt had 198 inhabitants.

Until 1945 Viatrow, which was called Steinfurt from 1938 , was a place in the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania . The two localities of Alter Krug (also called Unter Viatrow ) and Viatrow Gut (also Hohen Viatrow ) belonged to the municipality . It was incorporated into the official and civil registry district Bewersdorf (today Polish: Bobrowniki) and was in the Gendarmerie Hebrondamnitz (Damnica) and in the district court area Stolp (Słupsk).

On March 8, 1945 Steinfurt was occupied by Soviet infantry without a fight. Poles came to the village in the summer of 1945. The population was expelled from mid-May 1947 . Viatrow (or Steinfurt) became Polish under the name Wiatrowo and is now part of Gmina Damnica in Powiat Słupski in the Pomeranian Voivodeship (1975-1998 Stolp Voivodeship ) with 79 inhabitants.

church

Before 1945 the population of Viatrow alias Steinfurt was predominantly Protestant . The village was one of thirteen surrounding villages that belonged to the parish of Dammen (today in Polish: Damno) in the church district of Stolp-Altstadt in the eastern district of the church province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The last German clergyman was Pastor Magnus Erdmann .

After 1945 - with almost all of the Catholic population - the parish connection between Wiatrowo and Damno ( Dammen ) remained. The parish is now incorporated into the Główczyce ( Glowitz ) deanery in the Pelplin diocese of the Catholic Church in Poland . Protestant church members living here belong to the Główczyce ( Glowitz ) branch church of the Kreuzkirche parish in Słupsk ( Stolp ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

school

A schoolmaster was named in Viatrow as early as 1784. In the 1932 one-stage elementary school, 28 children were taught by a teacher. The last German school holder was Richard Knitt .
