    Tips

    The village was built on a raised area of land on the Putziger Wiek, protected from flooding. As stone crate graves with Pomeranian face urns show, the raised areas of land in the region, the so-called 'Kämpen', were already populated in prehistoric times.

    In 1340, the place was mentioned under the name Swarsow. Graves from pagan times have been found nearby. The village was granted to the mayor Conrad on October 16, 1340 by the Danzig Order Commander Winrich von Kniprode, with 40 acres under Culm law and permission to fish in the lagoon with light equipment for personal use. The privilege was later lost in a fire; therefore, in 1552, King Sigismund II August of Poland issued a largely identical one.

    Through the First Partition of Poland-Lithuania in 1772, western Prussia with the area around Neustadt and Putzig was reunited with the eastern part of the Kingdom of Prussia under Frederick II of Prussia to the extent that these parts had been connected during the time of the Teutonic Order. Schwarzau then belonged to the Kingdom of Prussia. In 1789, Schwarsau was described as a royal village with a Catholic church, a fiefdom and 23 fireplaces (households). In 1845, Schwarzau belonged to the Putzig district and town court.

    In 1919, Schwarzau was assigned to the Putzig district in the Danzig administrative district of the West Prussia province of the German Empire.

    After the end of the First World War, most of the Putzig district, and thus also the village of Schwarzau, had to be ceded to Poland due to the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles for the purpose of establishing the Polish Corridor, with effect from January 20, 1920 and without a referendum. As a result of the invasion of Poland in 1939, the area of the Polish Corridor, which had been annexed in violation of international law, became part of the German Reich, and Schwarzau was incorporated into the Neustadt district in the Reichsgau Danzig-Westpreußen, to which Schwarzau belonged until 1945.

    Towards the end of the Second World War, in the spring of 1945, the Red Army liberated the region. As far as the German villagers had not fled, they were expelled in the following period and replaced by Poles.
