history

His historic village of shape after Vilgelow was a line village . In 1633 it was owned by members of the Below family as a fief and in 1665 by members of the Woyten family . After that, the manor village passed into the possession of members of the Somnitz family and then to members of the Krockow family . Captain Ernst Ludwig von Below bought it from the Krockows in 1730. To 1784 there was a Vilgelow in Vorwerk , a farmer in the district, a neuangelegtes Vorwerk, with two farmers and a total of five households.

In 1804 the village was owned by Kriminalrat Schulte in Stolp , after which it was owned by Christian Friedrich Schröder until 1859. Several changes of ownership then took place.

In 1910 Vilgelow had 165 inhabitants. Their number rose to 238 by 1933 and was still 203 in 1939.

Until 1945 the community Vilgelow belonged to the administrative and civil registry district Reitz (Redzikowo) in the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin of the Pomeranian province . The parish area was 992 hectares. In addition to Vilgelow, the village of Papritzfelde also belonged to the community . In 1938 the Vilgelow estate was 651.5 hectares in size, of which 518.5 hectares were arable land. The 350 hectare manor Papritzfelde had 329 hectares of arable land. In addition to the two estates, there was no farming property in the community of Vilgelow. The last owner of Gut Vilgelow before 1945 was Margarete von Duisburg , last owner of Gut Papritzfelde Ernst von Duisburg.

Towards the end of the Second World War , on March 9, 1945, Soviet troops occupied the village. In 1957, out of 200 inhabitants, only three to four families are said to have been Poles, the others German, many of them from East Prussia . Vilgelow was renamed Wielogłowy .

Later 91 villagers displaced from Vilgeloe in the FRG and 30 in the GDR were identified.

The village with its 260 inhabitants is now part of the Gmina Damnica in the Powiat Słupski in the Pomeranian Voivodeship (1975 to 1998 Stolp Voivodeship ).

The village Papritzfelde (Paprzyce) on the other hand belonged to the parish Sageritz (Zagórzyca) in the parish of Stolp-Altstadt .
