Borzysławiec [bɔʐɨˈswavjɛt͡s] (German: Louisenthal)[citation needed] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Goleniów, within Goleniów County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 8 kilometres (5 mi) south-west of Goleniów and 15 km (9 mi) north-east of the regional capital Szczecin.

History

In 1809 August Heinrich von Borgstede, proprietor of the

Lubczyna in 1946) and secretary of the Marcher War and Demesne Chamber, granted larger grounds for the foundation of a new village.[2] The area was former moorland drained in a campaign started at the end of the 18th century. The vast drained lands had been part of the flatlands along the Dammscher See (now Jezioro Dąbskie)
. The village was then founded in 1809 as Louisenthal (later also altered as Luisenthal). A neighbouring newly founded hamlet of Rörchen bore the name Friedrichwilhelmsthal (aka Friedrich-Wilhelmsthal), thus both using the names of the then ruling royal couple.

Many settlers came from Pomeranian

curacy counted 146 souls in 1827.[5]

Louisenthal was laid out in northsouth direction as a long

linear village. The main street was planted with three lines of linden, oaks and chestnut trees. This structure is mostly preserved until today. The village structure is dominated by the Catholic Saints Peter and Paul Church, surrounded by a churchyard used as the cemetery. Louisenthal curacy was elevated to the rank of a parish in 1866.[3]

Later also Lutherans moved to Louisenthal, thus in 1867 the village counted 458 inhabitants, among them 227 Catholics.[2] The Lutherans belonged to the Lutheran parish of Lübzin. Louisenthal consisted of 40 farm homesteads, two handicraft businesses and about 60 buildings forming the agricultural inventory in 1867. The village measured 321 hectares (790 acres) of arable land, of which 103 hectares (250 acres) were used as ploughlands, 195 hectares (480 acres) as meadows and 20 hectares (49 acres) of pasturages.

According to the census of 1 December 1871 there were 451 inhabitants, of which 230 were Lutheran and 221 Catholic.[6] The inhabitants formed 85 households in 39 homesteads, spreading in the linear village and in other small outlying hamlets.[6] These were Dammhorst, Krachtshorst, Langenhorst and Seebudenlake.[2]

In 1901 the municipality of Louisenthal was incorporated into Lübzin.[7] On 2 December 1902 the present Ss. Peter and Paul Church was consecrated, replacing the older structure. As the sole Catholic village in the wide Diaspora of the then prevailingly Lutheran Farther Pomerania the parish then comprised many other villages and towns on the eastern bank of the Oder such as Alt Fanger, Barfußdorf, Birkenwerder, Blankenfelde, Buddendorf, Burow, Daarz, Damerfitz, Diedrichsdorf, Eichenwalde, Franzfelde, Freiheide, Friedrichswalde, Fürstenflagge, Glewitz, Gollnow, Gollnowshagen, Groß Christinenberg, Groß Sophienthal, Großenhagen, Hackenwalde, Hinzendorf, Ihnamünde, Immenthal, Jakobsdorf, Karlsbach, Karlshof, Kattenhof, Klein Christinenberg, Klein Sophienthal, Korkenhagen, Kriewitz, Lübzin, Lüttkenhagen, Marsdorf, Massow, Matzdorf, Münchendorf, Neu Massow, Neuendorf bei Massow, Pflugrade, Priemhausen, Puddenzig, Resehl, Retztow, Rosenow, Rörchen, Schönhagen, Speck, Stevenhagen and Wangeritz. Among the 40,000 overall inhabitants in the Kreis Naugard there were about 400 Catholics in the 1870s.[8] Only in 1930 a second Catholic parish in Naugard district was founded, St. George in Gollnow,[8] taking over about 250 parishioners.[4]

On 1 May 1931 Albert Hirsch (1894–1944) became parish priest at Ss. Peter and Paul in Louisenthal, then counting 127 parishioners.

National Socialism.[4][9]

1945 many village people fled before the invading Soviet forces. The remaining inhabitants were expelled in the course of the ethnic cleansing in June and July 1945, acknowledged in August by the three Allies at the Potsdam Agreement. The village was renamed as Borzysław in 1945, and later as Borzysławiec.
