Comments

Kołobrzeg is a city in north-western Poland with some 50,000 inhabitants. Kołobrzeg is located on the Parsęta River on the south coast of the Baltic Sea.

During the Early Middle Ages, Slavic Pomeranians founded a settlement at the site of modern Budzistowo. Around the year 1000, when the area was under Polish rule, the stronghold became seat of the Diocese of Kołobrzeg. The city later joined the Hanseatic League.

From 1815, it was part of the Prussian province of Pomerania. During the 19th century a Polish community started to organize itself. As the Nazis took power in Germany, Poles and Jews were discriminated, determined to be subhuman and eventually subjected to genocide. In 1945 Polish and Soviet troops seized the town and it was subsequently attached to Poland, while the remaining German population which had not fled the advancing Red Army was expelled. The town, devastated in the preceding Battle of Kolberg, was rebuilt but lost its status as the regional center to the nearby Koszalin.
