Hello,
Below is my translation of the Słownik Geograficzny Krolestwa Polskiego entry for Pławin. Any errors in the translations are completely my own.
Location information:
Current administrative location: Pławin, Gmina Inowrocław, Powiat Inowrocław, Województwo Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Poland.
Administrative location in 1895 (Słownik Geograficzny Krolestwa Polskiego): Plawin, Kreis Inowroclaw, Regierungsbezirk Bromberg, Provinz Posen, Kaiserlich Deutsches Reich.
A dominium located in powiat Inowrocław. It is located about 5 kilometers southeast of Pakość. Pławin belongs to the Kościelec Parish. The post office is located in Jaksice. There are railway stations located about 7 kilometers away in both Inowrocław and Złotniki. Pławin has 4 houses with 113 inhabitants (89 Catholics and 24 Protestants).
The Pławin dominium has an area of land equal to 305.90 hectare (294.40 hectare of farmland, 8.60 hectare of meadows, and 2.90 hectare of unused barren land). The income generated from the land is equal to 5480 marks. Pławin specializes in sheep and cattle breeding, along with sugar beet farming.
The owner is Edmund Mittelstaedt. In 1488, the Bishop of Włocławek, Piotr of Bnin, gave Pławin a seminary in exchange for a tithe (tenth of the dominium’s income). In 1583, Jan Pławiński sat at the head of the Pławin seminary. From documents dating from the 14 century, there possibly could have been a mill located in Pławin, see also the entry for the village of Pławanów (Ryszczew. Kod. Dypł. II, 157). E. Cal.
