Witkowo Drugie (German Wittichow (II)) is a village in the municipality of Stargard ( Stargard in Pomerania ) in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship .
Geographical location
Witkowo Drugie lies in Pomerania , about 4.5 kilometers south of the center of Stargard and 34 kilometers southeast of Stettin ( Szczecin ). The Mała Ina ( Lazy Ihna ) flows through the area around the village .
history
The village had in earlier times the area of the Johanniter -Ordensamts Kollin heard the Johanniter Ritter Orden with interruption of the Thirty Years War until its dissolution in 1810 had and the Swedish interregnum as a fief.
In the 19th century it was often assumed that Wittichow was identical to the village of Tihowo , which is mentioned in a document from 1229, with which the Pomeranian Duke Barnim I and his mother, Duchess Miroslawa , who had belonged to the order area since ancient times confirmed possessions. However, that Tihowo is more likely to mean the village of Tychow near Schlawe.
Around the middle of the 18th century there were only 17 farms in Wittichow. On the orders of the last Johanniter master master, Prince Ferdinand of Prussia , the youngest brother of Frederick the Great , an outbuilding that belonged to the area was dismantled in 1769; the associated lands were leased to the Wittichower farmers. As a result of this measure, additional settler sites could be created. Around 1784 in Wittichow there was a windmill, a preacher, a sexton, a free school, 22 full farmers , one half farmer , seven kossaten , an inn, a blacksmith shop and a total of 63 households. Around 1865 there were 20 full farmers, two half farmers and eight Kossäthöfe in the village.
Around 1930, the district of Wittichow had an area of 13.2 km², and there were a total of 82 inhabited houses in two different places of residence in the municipality:
- Schneidersfelde
- Wittichow
The place of residence Schneidersfelde is four kilometers southeast of the place of residence Wittichow. It was created in 1836 as a new Vorwerk by merging a brickworks previously laid out by the Johanniter master craftsman Prince Ferdinand of Prussia with the lands of a purchased Schulzengut.
Until 1945 Wittichow belonged to the district of Pyritz in the province of Pomerania .
Towards the end of the Second World War , the region around Wittichow was defended by the Belgian SS combat group 'Wallonia' until March 2, 1945, which gave up Wittichow on March 3 and withdrew to Stargard. Then Wittichow was occupied by the Soviet Army . After the war, Wittichow became part of Poland as Witkowo Drugie ( Witkowo II ).
