history

Widzino, its form a line village , is one of the oldest recorded known villages of stumbling country. In 1281, Duke Mestwin II of Pomerania donated the village - then called Vidino - to the Belbuck monastery as equipment for the Premonstratensian nunnery in Stolp .

During the Reformation in 1522, Duke Bogislaw X of Pomerania took over the monastery property into his administration. Veddin was then under the Stolp office until 1810 .

In 1784 Veddin had with the mayor ten farmers, two Kossäten , five Büdner (including a blacksmith) and a schoolmaster at a total of 21 fires. Friedrich Rieck bought it in 1853 , and the manor, which lasted 232 hectares, remained in his family until it was relocated in the 1930s.

On May 17, 1939 there were 593 residents in 137 households in Veddin. The village belonged with noblemen Kublitz (Kobylniczka), (royal) Kublitz (Kobylnica), Lossin (Łosino) and Sanskow (Zajączkowo) to the district of Lossin in the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania . The responsible registry office was also located in Lossin. The district court area was Stolp. The parish area was 985 hectares. Veddin was the only place of residence in the community. The last mayor of Veddin was Franz Albrecht .

Towards the end of the Second World War , the Red Army occupied the village on March 7, 1945 . The villagers had previously not been able to leave their place on the country roads, which were completely blocked by refugee routes. The farm became a Russian collective farm. Veddin was handed over to Poland and renamed Widzino . On December 14th and 15th, 1945, the Polish militia picked up the farmers unprepared at 6 a.m. and rounded them up at the village inn. Nobody was allowed to take anything. The farmers had to march from the inn to the freight yard in Stolp. The sick and the old were taken there on wagons. From the freight yard, the villagers were then deported west in cattle wagons .

Later, 291 villagers displaced from Veddin were identified in the FRG and 141 in the GDR .

Widzino is now part of Gmina Kobylnica in the powiat Słupski of the Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Stolp Voivodeship ). Today 535 inhabitants live here.

Since 1945 the inhabitants of Widzino have been predominantly Roman Catholic . The place still belongs ecclesiastically to Kobylnica, where the - now Catholic - parish has its seat. It is located in the deanery Słupsk Zachod ( Stolp-West ) in the Köslin-Kolberg diocese of the Catholic Church in Poland .
