History
Wielin was a fiefdom of the Natzmer family. The first owner mentioned in literature was Claus von Natzmer and it was in 1628. For some time a part of the estate belonged to a fiefdom of Krangen (Krg) owned by Podewils family, yet since 1652 Gerd von Podewils had been selling his shares to Dubslaff von Natzmer.
Around 1780 there was a manor, mill and smithy in Wielin and there lived 7 farmers, a furrier and priest. In 1857 the Natzmers sold their estate to Tressler family for 100 000 thalers. Before the end of the last century the von Clave-Bouhaben family took over the grounds and in 1935 Hugo Lippoldes became the owner of Wielin.
At the beginning of March in 1945 the Russians took up the lands of Pomorze. The people who did not leave the area in time (many people had tried to flee at the last moment, but they were stopped and forced to return) had to resign themselves to the life under occupation.
The last owner of the estate – Hugo Lippoldes, along with the other people from Wielin, was arrested and deported to Russia. He died on 25 April 1945 in Soviet forced-labour camp near Kopeisk in Siberia, around 200 kilometres east of the Ural Mountains. Only two women out of all people from Wielin deported to Russia came back alive. During the Second World War and the turmoil of war there died 35 people from Wielin.
