History
The Teutonic Order had installed an Ordenshof (yard of the order) in Piastoszyn, which became a Starosteivorwerk (outlying estate) in Polish times (1466 - 1772). In 1744 Pawel Rhode used to be Schulz and Oberschulz of Petztin. It is documented, that Franz Lucowicz bought the Starosteivorwerk from Starost Michael Anton Graf Sapiecha in 1753 who gave it to the municipal of Piastoszynlater: He assigned it to Schulz (village major, lat. sculteto) Andreas Behrendt, son of Laurentius Behrendt, and the whole village in Piastoszyn. Andreas Behrendt and his wife Helene Elisabeth Patin from Ciechocin (Deutsch Cekzin) had been acknowledged by King Stanislaus August as Schulz of Piastoszyn during the same year. Andreas Behrendt's successor was his son Anton Berendt, followed by Anton Berendt's son Anton Joseph Behrendt. From 1882 - 1885 Joseph Behrendt was a member of parliament for the electoral district Konitz-Tuchel. His son August Maria Behrendt inherited the commission. He was followed by his sons Maria Leo Behrendt and Johannes Behrendt.
In 1773 Petztin had 202 inhabitants including Schulz Andreas Behrendt. The following farmers were documented: Thomas Klunder, Casimir Schwemin, Paul Scheffts, Lorentz Schreiber, Adam Gehrs, Mattes Weyland, Martin Klinger Lorentz Scheffts, Krüger Johann Weyland, Georg Behrendt, Mattes Goersch and Lorentz Görsch.
