history
The former Velsow has only existed as an independent place since 1830, because before that it was a Vorwerk of Wendisch Karstnitz (1938–45 Ramnitz , today in Polish: Karznica). In 1830 Velsow was owned by the von Krockow family , after which it came into the possession of the von Wedel family . In 1862 it was sold to the councilor Alexander von Livonius , after which his son Arthur took over . The last owner was Engelhard Lehmann . After that Velsow was settled.
In 1910 Velsow had 236 inhabitants. Their number was 256 in 1933 and rose to 264 by 1939.
Until 1945 Velsow was a municipality in the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania . It was incorporated into the administrative and civil registry district Wendisch Karstnitz and Ramnitz (Karznica) and belonged to the district court district of Stolp . The last community leader (from 1923) and mayor (from 1935) was farmer Willy Lawrenz , who was only 28 when he took office .
Towards the end of World War II , Velsow was occupied by Soviet troops on March 8, 1945 . A command post was established in Velsow. When the troops left the village at the end of 1945, Wieliszewo was part of Polensm, Velsow was renamed Wieliszewo . The population was deported . The first families were expelled on July 1, 1946. In December 1946, 185 people were expelled from Velsow. This was followed by another expulsion campaign in the spring of 1947.
Later, 146 villagers displaced from Velsow were identified in the FRG and 35 in the GDR .
The village is now a district of Gmina Potęgowo in the powiat Słupski in the Pomeranian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Slupsk Voivodeship ). 202 inhabitants are now registered here.
