History
The region was part of the Medieval Duchy of Pomerania which joined the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation to stay with states of Germany until 1945/1990. During World War II, the German administration operated a forced labour subcamp of the Stalag II-D prisoner-of-war camp in the village.[3]
