Dziemiany

The municipality of Dziemiany, located in the Pomeranian Voivodeship within Kościerzyna County, was established on August 1, 1934. It originally consisted of several village districts, including Dziemiany, Jastrzębie, and Kalisz. The history of the municipality is turbulent, especially during World War II, when it was abolished and its territory was incorporated into the municipality of Lipusz. After the war, the original municipality was restored and became part of the newly created Gdańsk Voivodeship. In the 1950s, the municipality underwent administrative reform, leading to its dissolution in 1954, but it was reestablished in 1973. Dziemiany experienced further administrative changes in the 1970s and 1980s, including a merger with the municipality of Lipusz, and was ultimately reinstated on January 1, 1984. Architecturally, the municipality is known for its rural landscape and traditional buildings that reflect the character of the region. Demographically, in 2017, the population was 4,340, indicating stable growth. The municipality covers an area of 124.97 km², with forested land predominating, which supports biodiversity and nature conservation. There are numerous nature reserves in the area, such as Brzeg Jeziora Cheb and the Wdzydze Landscape Park, which protect local ecosystems. An interesting fact is that the municipality has a well-developed culinary infrastructure, and its residents cultivate local traditions and folklore, contributing to the regional culture. Neighboring municipalities, such as Brusy, Kościerzyna, and Lipusz, together form a local microregion rich in history and traditions. Through its history, architecture, and natural assets, the municipality of Dziemiany serves as an interesting example of rural Poland that preserves its traditions and historical heritage.
