Sławęcin [swaˈvɛnt͡ɕin] (German: Schlagenthin) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Choszczno, within Choszczno County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 6 kilometres (4 mi) north of Choszczno (Arnswalde) and 57 km (35 mi) south-east of the regional capital Szczecin (Stettin).
Before 1945 the area was part of Germany, and the village's name was Schlagenthin. It belonged to the administrative district of Landkreis Arnswalde of the Province of Pomerania and is located in Farther Pomerania. In documents of the 14th century the village is referred to as Schlawentin.[2] From 1365 to 1752, i.e. for fourhundred years, the village had been a fief of the noble family von Blankensee. Thereafter it was owned by the families von Jagow and von Göllnitz, until in 1829 it was bought by Wilhelm Ferdinand Eben, who passed it on to his son Carl. Thereafter the estate had also other owners.[3] The last owner before 1945 had been Gertrud Otto.[4]
After the end of World War II the district was put together with Farther Pomerania under Polish administration.
