history

The historical news about the north-south street village is scarce. Around 1300 it is said to have been a princely domination. At that time it was part of the Nemitz fief (now in Polish: Niemica) and owned by the von Ramel family . In 1620 Joachim von Podewils bought two farmers from Söllnitz. At the beginning of the 18th century the village was owned by von Kleist , until 1712 Georg Kaspar von Kleist Söllnitz was sold to Ernst Bogislav von Podewils .

In 1784 Söllnitz had ten fireplaces with six farmers. In 1818 69 people lived here, in 1885 there were already 309, and in 1939 there were 222.

Söllnitz with the associated district Bornsprang (today in Polish: Potók) belonged to the district of Krangen (Krąg), the registry office area Soltikow (Sulechowo) and the district court Schlawe before 1945 . The village was in the district of Schlawe i. Pom. in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania .

At the beginning of March 1945, Red Army troops invaded the Söllnitz area. A few months later, the place was under Polish sovereignty and became a part of the Gmina Malechowo in the Powiat Sławieński of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Köslin Voivodeship ).

church

Before 1945, almost all of the people of Söllnitz were of Protestant denomination. The village did not have its own church, but was affiliated to the parish of Klein Soltikow (Sulechówko), which in turn was part of the parish of Nemitz (Niemica). It belonged to the Rügenwalde parish of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union .

The parish of Klein Soltikow had over 1400 parishioners in 1940 and thus made up 2/3 of the parish of Nemitz. The last German clergyman was Pastor Martin Vossberg.

Since 1945, the inhabitants of Zielica have been predominantly Roman Catholic . Even today Sulechówko is the ecclesiastical center of the place, now raised to its own parish , to which 2530 parishioners belong and to which the subsidiary parishes Niemica ( Nemitz ) and Sierakowo Sławieńskie ( Zirchow ) are assigned. The current parish Sulechówko belongs to the deanery Sławno in the diocese of Köslin-Kolberg of the Catholic Church in Poland .

The few Protestant residents belong to the parish of Koszalin ( Köslin ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
