history
Schwerin was an old fiefdom of the noble Wedel family . It was mentioned for the first time in a document from 1346, according to which Wedego von Wedel compared with the Camminer cathedral chapter about the tithe that the cathedral chapter raised in four Wedel estates. District administrator Lupold von Wedel was one of the later owners .
In 1781 the landlord of Schwerin, District Administrator Sebastian Georg von Wedel , received 5,800 Reichstaler amelioration money from the Prussian king at an interest rate of 1 percent. With this money he built a Vorwerk for his estate in the northeast of the manor district on the site of the village Elmershagen, which was abandoned in the 17th century, and a few years later the Vorwerk Schwerinshof in the west of the manor district . When he got into economic difficulties, the vernacular gave his three estates the names "cross, misery and misery". The name “Kreuz”, also in Low German “Krütz”, stuck to the Vorwerk Elmershagen, so that it has been called Kreutz ever since .
In 1827 Henriette von Pfuel , born von Wedel and wealthy widow of the Prussian general Karl Ludwig von Pfuel , who died in 1826 , took over the dilapidated Schwerin estate from her younger brother. Henriette von Pfuel developed the Schwerin estate into a powerful company. One of their measures was the establishment of a small Vorwerk, about 500 meters from the Kreutz Vorwerk, which was given the old place name Elmershagen . The Vorwerk Elmershagen was given up around 1900, but was used as a residential area until 1945. After her death, the Schwerin estate came to her daughter and her husband in 1843, but was taken over again in 1848 by a member of the von Wedel family.
Around 1860 the manor Schwerin, i.e. the manor district , comprised 4932 acres of land, 24 houses and 196 residents. 21 horses, 57 cattle and 949 sheep were kept. In addition, there was the parish village of Schwerin, i.e. the rural rural community , with 701 acres of land, 25 houses and 106 inhabitants. 18 horses, 44 cattle and 198 sheep were kept here. The church was a subsidiary church ("Filia") of the church in Silligsdorf . The Schwerin manor district was later incorporated into the Schwerin rural community.
In 1896 Schwerin became a railway station on the narrow-gauge line Labes – Meesow – Sallmow of the Regenwald Bahnen . The line is closed today.
Until 1945 Schwerin formed a rural community in the Regenwalde district of the Pomerania province . The municipality had 342 inhabitants in 1933 and 303 inhabitants in 1939. In addition to Schwerin, the community also included Elmershagen , Kreutz and Schwerinshof .
In 1945 Schwerin, like all of Western Pomerania, came to Poland. It received the Polish place name "Zwierzynek". The two remaining Vorwerke Kreutz and Schwerinshof fell desolate .
