Hackenwalde was founded in the years 1747/1748 based on the order for colonization of this region by king Friedrich II ("the old Fritz").
The colony was first named "in der Butzebinde", with 22 half-farmers, and "auf dem Hohen Horst", with 2 half-farmers. Renamed in 1751 after a minister (von Hack) to "Hakenwald".
First colonists were "Polen and Neumärker", instead of the often used "Pfälzer" from southwest germany. King Friedrich gave the order, that the new colonys should only be gaved to "foreigners", no localnatives.
(see: http://digibib.studienstelleog.de/sdo/sog/KOL.kol-pom-gebhard.pdf)
In 1754 there was a study about the actual development in the new colonys. the names of the first colonists in Hackenwalde were:

Siedlung "in der Butzebinde":
1. Schulze Joh. Christ. Carow, 2. Joh. Carow, 3. Magnus Jordan (becomes farmer in Gollnow; Peter Klietz),
4. Joh. George Größ, 5. Joh. Größ, 6. Heinr. Rodemann, 7. Thomas Carow, 8. Adam Carow,
9. Kurtzweges widow, 10. Peter Bentantz, or Renfranz, 11. Paul Garnetzky, 12. Ludw. Quadens wife,
13. Gottfr. Schröter, 14. Christ. Sachse, 15. Martin Röseler, 16. Christ. Goltze, 17. Hans Garnetzky,
18. Gottfr. Kurtzweg, 19. Martin Schmidt,
20. Siegmund Carow (as miller back to the Neumark; Christ. Wendt).

Auf dem Hohen Horst:
21. Matth. Golcke, 22. Ludwig Röhl.

Population:
1754: altogether 22 farms with approx.100 bis 130 persons.
1820: 335 persons, 66 farms, 50 houses
1843: 615 persons, 100 farms, 65 housesr
1871: 1139 persons, see census data
1905: 838 persons
1925: 810 persons
1939: 713 persons
2000: 352 persons

Census data at the 1.December 1871:
1139 Inhabitants, 582 male, 557 female, 691 localnative, 1138 evangelist, 1 catholic, 0 jews, 310 children under 10 years, of the persons over 10 years 765 can read and write, 55 illiterates, 0 without indication. persons with physical defects: 0 blind ones, 1 deaf-mutes, 3 "stupids and lunatics", 0 are localabsent, altogether 111 residential buildings, 1 living place, 218 family households, 5 single households

Therefore Hackenwalde became one of the bigger villages in the region of Gollnow with more then 1000 persons, though some families left the village in the middle of the 19. century as old-lutherans to america
Old-Lutherans: 95 Old-Lutherans lived in Hackenwalde in the year 1940. In the years 1839-1850 approx. 5000 Old-Lutherans left Pomerania, mainly to America or Australia. A reason was the order of king Friedrich Wilhelm III in year 1817 for a "church-union", denied by the Old-Lutherans, which from there on faced problems in living their religion. America had no strict rules about religion at that time. Additionaly the economic situation in Pomerania was bad these time (1844 and 1846 had very poor harvests). Colonists from germany were able to get good land in america at cheap conditions. That pushed this development. The situation became better with the new king Friedrich Wilhelms IV (king 1840-1858). The King gave a general concession for the "Old-Lutherans, which seperate themself from the common christian church-union.

The area has been settled long before, i heard of found ceramic from 2000 before Christus in Hackenwalde.
In newer centuries the people lived from farming, or having sheeps and selling the wool on the market of Stettin. The farms had surfaces of up to 30 Morgen.
The village was renamed to "Hoza Wola" in 1945 for a short period and then renamed to Krepsko, because of the close river "Krempe" (though the name is "Krampe" as far as i know.....)
The actual buildings today are mainly from the end 19. or beginning 20. century.

New !!!
Pictures of my attendance in October 2004:

Impression:
Hackenwalde was of highest interest for me on my trip, because many of my ancestors come from this village, my father and grandfather were born here (the farm doesn't exist anymore). Hackenwalde was somehow the starting-point of my genealogy-research years ago.
The actual shape of the village:
Actually Hackenwalde has got only 352 inhabitants, e.g. half of the population compared to before the war, and only a third of the year 1871.
In the center stands the former old-lutheran church (meanwhile catholic, of course), the old school and some houses, where i knew the names of the former owners (see pictures). The old school is used as a normal living-house now, but therefore there is the new school in front of it , on the middle of the old central place. The former cemetary on the northern edge of this place has disappeared. There used to be four bakerys in the village before the war (Lass, Robert Berndt, Hans Baum and Walter Schmidt), but i saw neither them, nor other shops.
A bit north was former the part "Hackenwalde Jenseits" north of the Münchenbach (small river). On the left hand stood the big main church, a rumour is, it has been moved to Warschau. The cemetary is destroyed too.
Conclusion: I don't know this village from the time before the war, of course, but i can imagine, that some of the former german inhabitants become a bit sad, when seeing the village today. My grandfather didn't want to visit the village after WW2, he prefered to keep it as it was in his memory. He drawed the village-map at the top of this page for me in 1989, with nearly 100 houses marked with the names of the owners - only from his memory, after 50 years. But for me the visit was exciting and interesting - i wanted to see how and where my ancestors lived, get an impression - not turning back the clock....
Hackenwalde is still one of the bigger villages in the region of Gollnow, and the new school and the children i saw let it still appear more alive then some of the other villages i saw on my journey.
