history

Varchmin southwest of the city of Köslin and east of the Baltic Sea city of Kolberg on a map from 1910.

Varchmin is a parish village that used to be a manor belonging to the von Kameke family. Around 1410 Peter von Kameke was the owner of the manor. After that, the estate was continuously owned by the von Kameke family for about half a millennium.

Around the year 1780 there were three outworks in Varchmin , a water mill , a windmill , a brickyard, a preacher, a schoolmaster, seven farmers, five half-farmers , a preacher farmer , two cottages , an inn and 32 fireplaces (households). Around 1870 Albert Maximilian von Kameke was the owner of the estate. During World War II, the National Socialists expropriated the von Kameke family and killed the regime-critical squire Alexander von Kameke in a psychiatric hospital in 1944.

After the region was occupied by the Red Army towards the end of the Second World War , it was placed under Polish administration along with the whole of Western Pomerania. The German town of Varchmin was given the Polish name of Wierzchomino , and immigration from Poland began. The German natives were forced out of their homes and evicted from Varchmin by the local Polish administrative authority until around 1947 .

Village church

The Kordeshagen church dates from the 18th century. After 1945 the previously evangelical church was expropriated in favor of the Catholic Church. This consecrated it on July 15, 1946 and gave it the name of "St. Peter and Paul ”(św. Piotra i Pawła).

Parish

Before 1945 the population of Varchmin was almost without exception Protestant . Varchmin was an old church village. It was not until the 1930s that the parish of Varchmin with the towns of Leistkenhagen, Sarge, Sydowswiese (now Polish: Żydówko) and Varchminshagen (Wierzchominko) was integrated into the parish of Kordeshagen (Dobryzca) as a subsidiary church. It was in the parish of Köslin (Koszalin) of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The parish of Varchmin counted more than 600 parishioners in 1940 out of 2,338 parishioners in the entire parish. The last German clergyman with official residence in Kordeshagen was Pastor Konstantin Sadde .

Since 1945, the population of Wierzchomino has been predominantly Catholic . The village forms an independent parish again, which is, however, a subsidiary of the parish in Dobrzyca ( Kordeshagen ). It belongs to the deanery Mielno ( Großmöllen ) in the diocese of Köslin-Kolberg of the Catholic Church in Poland .

Protestant church members living here are assigned to the parish office "Zum Guten Hirten" in Koszalin ( Köslin ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
