Pictures of my attendance in October 2004:

Eindrücke:
Helgenfeld was another highlight on my trip, because my parents both spent the last years of their childhood here before end of WW2. My both grandfathers bought small houses in this new colony. The short distance to Gollnow, where my grandfather had a job, was and is still a big advantage. Therefore is Helgenfeld the only "village" on my trip, which has much more inhabitants these days then before the war. in the 1980's many new houses were build at the south edge, near the forest, and in the last years many more at west edge, direction Gollnow. The new houses are modern ones with mainly western standard. But even in the "old" part of Helgenfeld, many houses are beeing enhanced or repaired. My impression is, that meanwhile the second or third generation of polish people live here, who see a long-term perspective.
There is a new church (catholic) at the former western edge and a new school. And a small supermarket too.
The train-line from Gollnow to Massow doesn't exist anymore, so the train-station "Kupferhammer" at the main street.
I took some pictures of houses, where before WW2 families lived with names, which i have among my ancestors (Zühlke, Kind, Knuth, etc.). I didn't always asked, because i was short of time. I hope the actual owners are not angry.
