Oleszna, Szczecin
Oleszna is a depopulated part of Szczecin, Poland, situated on the right bank of the Oder river, east of Szczecin Old Town, and south-east of Szczecin-Dąbie. It was known until 1947 by its German name Henningsholm.[1]
It was first mentioned in the 13th century as Hennekenhof or Henskenhof, a property of Kolbatz Abbey, and in the 16th century as Heidereitershof. It acquired the name Henningsholm in the 18th century, possibly after a Pomeranian official. In the late 19th century it was developed as a community of exclusive villas around the mansion known as Schloss Henningsholm.[2]
During the war the Schloss was used by the Luftwaffe.[3] After the war the entire settlement, including the Schloss, was demolished and the building materials sent off for the reconstruction of Warsaw.[2]
