history

The first mention of the village Zelechoa comes from 1159, when Bishop Adalbert of Pomerania the Usedom Abbey confirmed his possessions. This was followed by mentions in other confirmations of ownership for the monastery, such as Zelechowa in 1168 by Bishop Konrad I , as Zelechoa in 1177 by Duke Bogislaw I and as Celecha in 1179 by Pope Alexander III.

From the 19th century onwards, Züllchow developed into a suburb of Stettin. A remarkable example of upper-class living culture was a villa built in 1809/1810 by the Szczecin merchant Carl Gotthilf Tilebein and his wife Sophie Auguste Tilebein and later expanded; it was destroyed by a bombing raid in 1944.

The Züllchower Anstalten , a diaconal institution , existed from 1831 to 1931 . From 1852 to 1855 Hermann Bleibtreu built the Stettiner Portland Cement Factory in Züllchow , one of the first cement factories in Germany.

The municipality of Züllchow developed into one of the most populous municipalities in the Randow district with up to 9075 inhabitants (1939). In 1939 it was incorporated into the city of Stettin under the Greater Stettin Act . Since then, the history of Züllchow has been part of the history of the city of Szczecin .
