Evangelicals in the 19th and 20th century
pastor Johanes Hiltmann
Lulkowo – cemetery
Pomerania – German minority - Opis:
- Under the Prussian rule, to the twenties of the 20th century the countenance of Lulkowo commune was shaped by German settlers to whom the entire cultivated land, parceled out by the Royal Colonization Commission, belonged. The abovementioned commune was also inhabited by Poles, but their role was limited only to carry out ancillary tasks for rich landowners, and they did not have any real influence on relations existing in Lulkowo. The Evangelical-united parish in Lulkowo was established in 1895. On the 1st of April 1899 the parish obtained autonomy after being a district of the parish in Grębocin, but Evangelicals were not engaged in church life. The reports of the pastor indicate that fact, and the piety of parishioners left much to be desired. The pastor, holding the office in the parish of Lulkowo, also taught at the Evangelical School in Lulkowo, as well as in the mixed classes in Papowo Toruńskie, Ostaszewo and Świerczynki. In Łysomice and Pigża he taught in classes that were exclusively Catholic. The abovementioned information is not unambiguous as it is not known whether the pastor had taught other subjects apart from the religion lessons. The Evangelical German School existed until 1922, when it was closed due to a small number of children and it was replaced by a newly opened Polish primary school. After the year 1920 the number of the faithful in the Evangelical parish fell down to 400 souls and in 1927 it stopped at the level of 160 people. In 1939, before the outbreak of World War II the population of the Evangelical commune reached the level of 214 people. It is estimated that the cemetery was founded in 1897. Still, it is not possible to refer to any source that would provide reliable confirmation of this date. Since in the surroundings of Lulkowo there were no other ce-meteries than the Catholic churchyards in Świerczynki and Papowo Toruńskie and probably none of the Catholic priests would consent to a burial of an Evangelical or secular person or a suicide, it is possible to assume that the community of Lulkowo had to take care of establishing their own necropolis earlier than in 1897. The cemetery was founded by virtue of an administrative decision. The confirmation of this fact can be found in a post-inspection report of the 1904 in which the pastor responds to a question about the funeral without a priest „[…] the owner of the cemetery is the political commune of Lulkowo and for this reason the priest is not able to explain why he was not present at the burial”. The establishment of the cemetery cannot be either connected with a small number of Evangelical inhabitants of Lulkowo. The cemetery was a place of burial for people from other places belonging to the parish in Lulkowo and at this point it has to be remembered that in 1898 the parish was inhabited by 400 people.
