History

The village is first mentioned in historical records from 1288. In 1935 [http://stolp-pommern.de/Stolp-Stadt/Flugplaetze-Flieger/stolp-pagel.htm] the construction of an airfield named "Stolp-Reitz" started next to the village (earlier airfield named "Stolp-West" located in the area was built during World War I). Later the airfield became a "Fliegerwaffenschule" (Air Weapons School) for the Luftwaffe, and a number of hangars and other buildings were added. After 1945 the base was used by the Polish Air Force, specifically by the 28 Słupski Pułk Lotnictwa Myśliwskiego (28th Słupsk Fighter Aviation Regiment, disbanded in 1999). It also functioned for a time as a civil airport. At present the airfield is only used by small civil airplanes.
