Membership Benefits:

On this page we would like to offer you information about the purpose of the association, its goals, developments to date, its internal and bilateral German-Polish projects and events.

You can also find out everything you need to know about the Stolper Heimatstuben , which the association runs to collect and exhibit traditional costumes, uniforms, literature, works by well-known painters from the Stolper region, etc. The Heimatstube is also a main contact point for those who are looking for their ancestors in the former and current town and district of Stolp or Gmina and Słupsk County.

Another large part of the information offered is dedicated to the hometowns in the former Stolper districts. In our experience, this part is interesting not only for the residents who were expelled from their homeland in 1945 and their descendants, but also for the current residents who are becoming more and more interested in the history of the places to which they moved, often after their own expulsion regions further east were settled.

Since there is a lot of information available for family research through the work of the home district committees and the association in the area of ​​family reunification after the end of the war, the support of search operations, the acquisition of copies of existing church records and registry office documents, a separate area is also dedicated to this topic.
