The aim of this article is to answer article is an attempt to answer the question about the place of Kosznajderia and its former inhabitants in the contemporary heritage and identity of the part of Pomerania in which the German population of the Roman Catholic denomination lived. The research problem is the Kosznajder identity and heritage in the area of the historical Kosznajderia. It is related to the slogan "Kosznajderia - the phenomenon of identity", which has been strongly present in the regional discourse for several years. The author answers the question of what this phenomenon is all about today and how it is present in the subregion and local communities. She hypothesizes that Kosznajderia and its former inhabitants are an important component of contemporary (sub)regional/local identity in statu nascendi. The heritage of Kosznajderia is a significant element of the identity discourse, in which, first of all, the common features of former residents and the present ones, and the importance of material heritage are emphasized. The research has shown that the agricultural character of these lands and Catholicism are a kind of link between the past and the present. The complex history of this area and its population, including, above all, the difficult Polish-German relations and the breaking of historical, social and cultural continuity after World War II has made contemporary identity processes characterized by specific ambivalences. The author used the methods of field study: interviews (individual and group ones), observations and desk research.

This article attempts to answer the question of the place of Kosznajderia and its former inhabitants in the contemporary heritage and identity of the part of Pomerania in which that German Catholic population lived. For more than a decade, the description of Kosznajderia as a “phenomenon of identity” has had a marked presence in the regional discourse. Based on material collected during field research (interviews, observations, and data analysis), it will be explained what is the state of this phenomenon today and how it is present in the subregion and in local communities. Kosznajderia and its former inhabitants are an important component of the nascent contemporary (sub)regional/local identity. The heritage of Kosznajderia is a significant element of the discourse on identity, in which the main emphasis is on the common features of former and current inhabitants, and the significance of material heritage. The agricultural character of these lands and the presence of Catholicism somehow link the past with the present. Because of the complex history of this area and its population, in particular the difficult Polish–German relations and the breach of historical, social and cultural continuity after the Second World War, contemporary processes related to identity are marked by certain ambivalences.
