The historic center of the city was destroyed during the Second World War.

Story

Middle Ages

Kolobrzeg (translated from Polish - "near the coast") is a city that arose on the site of a Slavic fortress. It existed and was the center of the diocese at the time of the ancient Polish state of Bag I and Boleslav the Brave. The first bishop of Kolobrzeg was Rainburn, who was in the retinue of Boleslav's daughter, the wife of Svyatopolk the Accursed, who was arrested by Vladimir and died in prison in Kiev. Reinburn went to Kiev after Boleslav evacuated his troops from Kolobrzeg, which was threatened by the pagans, in 1013. A century later, the city was returned by Boleslav III Crooked-mouth, but retained de facto autonomy and was under strong German influence.

In 1284 Kolobrzeg was admitted to the Hanseatic League; from then until 1945 it was part of the German states (in 1637-1721 as part of Swedish Pomerania) and was known mainly under the German name Kolberg (the Slavic name reconsidered as "cabbage mountain").

Prussian fortress

At the beginning of the Seven Years War, Kohlberg's garrison consisted of only 700 militia (militia) and disabled people. After the battle of Zorndorf, the Russians decided to capture Kohlberg in order to have a safe point for a store of supplies and for communication with the fleet; however, the attempts undertaken for this were unsuccessful until the case was entrusted to P.A.Rumyantsev, who approached her in August 1761, with a detachment of about 15 thousand people. At this time, near Kohlberg, in a fortified camp, there was a Prussian detachment (18 thousand), under the command of the Prince of Württemberg; to assist Rumyantsev, the fleet of Admiral Mishukov arrived from the sea, bringing in up to 7 thousand reinforcements. The siege began on 2 September. At the end of October, the Prince of Württemberg, due to a lack of food, was forced to retire from Kohlberg, but the fortress, thanks to the bravery of the commandant, Colonel Heiden, continued to hold out until December 5 (16) and surrendered only due to lack of supplies.

In the war of 1806-1807, Kohlberg was besieged by the French, under the command of Marshal Victor, but he survived, thanks to the commandant, Major Gneisenau, the bold partisan actions of the legendary officer Ferdinand von Schill and the patriotism of the inhabitants.

Recent history

Since 1873 Kohlberg's fortifications were closed, leaving only the fort and four trenches from the side of the sea. At the end of the 19th century, the city had steam sawmills, a factory of agricultural machinery, an iron foundry, and sources of strong waters of table salt. There were 8 well-adapted bathing establishments, in which mud and steam baths could also be used. “The Encyclopedic Dictionary of Brockhaus and Efron” says about the resort value of Kohlberg in that era: “Kohlberg, being on the seashore, is a good sea bathing station, which allows you to combine the action of brine baths with the invigorating sea air or alternate sea baths with brine baths. Kohlberg is recommended for those with scrofulous, anemic and convalescing after suffering debilitating diseases. "

In 1943-1945, on the orders of Joseph Goebbels, the propaganda film "Kohlberg" by the chief Nazi director Faith Harlan was shot, depicting the defense of the city during the 1806-1807 campaign. thanks to the patriotism of volunteers and partisans. In this superbudget color film, Wehrmacht soldiers recalled from the front were involved as extras. The film was released at the very beginning of 1945, already too late to play any propaganda role; the defeat of Germany was a foregone conclusion, most of the cinemas were destroyed or closed, and the real Kohlberg was taken by Soviet troops shortly after the film appeared on the screens (moreover, 80% of the houses were destroyed during the bloody battles of March 4-18, 1945).

In the same 1945, part of Pomerania with Kolberg was separated from Germany by the decision of the allies, and the city again became Polish Kolobrzeg, being polonized in terms of ethnic composition (most of the Germans died or left the city earlier). In Kolobrzeg, the Polish military repeated the symbolic ritual “Betrothal of Poland to the sea”. In 1950, only 7 thousand people lived in it (compared to the pre-war 30 thousand). Population growth, large-scale construction and restoration of the significance of Kolobrzeg as a resort began only in the 1960s-1970s.

City `s history

The name of the town Kolobrzeg in translation from Polish means "near the coast". This city was formed on the site of the Slavic fortress. Kolobrzeg was the center of the diocese during the time of the ancient Polish state. The first city bishop was Rainburn, who was in the retinue of Boleslav's daughter. After Boleslav evacuated his troops from the city of Kolobrzeg, Rainburn left for Kiev, as he was threatened by the pagans in 1013. After 100 years, the city was returned by Boleslav the third. But it remained autonomous in fact, as it was under the strong influence of Germany.

In 1284, the city was admitted to the Gensean Union, from that time until 1945 it was part of the German state from 1637 to 1721, Kolobrzeg was part of Swedish Pomerania, then it was a famous city called Kolberg.

When the Seven Years' War began, the garrison of the city consisted of 700 people of the people's militia and invalids. After the battle of Zorndorf took place, the Russians decided to conquer the city in order to have a safe point for the stockpile and also a connection with the raft, but their attempts did not succeed until Rumyantsev got down to business, who in 1861 with a detachment of 15,000 people approached to the city. At that time, a Prussian detachment was located near Kolobrzeg, which consisted of 18,000 people. The commander of this detachment was the Prince of Württemberg. To help Rumyantsev from the sea, the arch of Admiral Ushakov arrived, in which seven thousand people arrived for reinforcements. The Siege began on the second of September. A month later, due to a lack of food products, the Prince of Oldenburg was forced to leave the city, but the fortress, thanks to the courage of the commandant Colonel Heyden, continued to hold on until December 16, they surrendered due to a lack of supplies.

From 1806 to 1807, the city was besieged by the French under the command of Marshal Victor, but it survived thanks to the commandant, Major Gneisenau.

In 1873, the fortifications in the city were closed, only the fort and four trenches on the side of the sea remained. At the end of the nineteenth century, Kolobrzeg had steam lismills, factories for agricultural machinery, an iron foundry, and springs of strong waters with table salt. There were adapted bathing establishments in the city, in which it was possible to use mud and steam baths.

In 1945, Joseph Goebbels made a propaganda film called Kohlberg by chief Nazi director Faith Harlan. The film was released at the very beginning of 1945. In the same year, part of Pomerania, together with the city, by the decision of the Allies, separated from Germany and Kolobrzeg, again became a Polish city. In 1960, the growth of the city's population began to increase, as well as construction and its development as a resort town.

The Lontov Tower is a powder tower that is part of the city's medieval defense system. It is considered the only remaining defensive military structure.

The tower was built in the fourteenth century, in the Gothic style. It was originally part of the city wall. In the seventeenth century, when the Thirteen Years' War was ending, the Wallentstein army came to the city, engineers began to modernize the destroyed medieval city wall. The construction of a new defensive fortress began. In 1630 the city was conquered by the Swedes, they continued the construction of this building. During this time, the tower remained intact. In 1653 the Swedes left the city of Kolobrzeg, Frederic Wilhelm decided to give the city a military look and restore it as a fortress city.

At the end of the seventeenth century at the beginning of the eighteenth, many buildings were built around the city fortifications. During the work, the remains of the medieval city walls were demolished, and the Lontov Powder Tower was left intact.

In the thirties, the city gradually began to acquire the status of a health resort. In 1872, Wilhelm was the first to give the order to liquidate the fortress. The tower was reconstructed again without damage. A dormitory was located in the tower for some time, and then a cafe was opened there. Today, the Lontov Tower houses a city office and a travel agency.

This fifteenth century house is built in the Gothic style. It looks like a building with small windows and brick walls without any decorations, once the owners of this house were the wealthy aristocratic Schlieffen family. This is the oldest building in the city, located on a street called Emilia Gerchak, next to more modern buildings. Nowadays, the house is divided into apartments, ordinary townspeople use it for living.

A multi-storey mansion with a large gable roof covered with tiles has been rebuilt and renovated several times during its existence. In the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, the most serious restoration work was carried out. Experts say that during all this time, both externally and internally, the appearance of the house has changed significantly.

After the Second World War, the Jachim Christine Nettelbeck Museum functioned in the house. For almost a hundred years, the mansion belonged to his family, Nettelbeck lived in this house from 1738 to 1824. He was a fairly popular personality in Kolobrzeg. For a long time on Nettelbek he was the local burgomaster, and also led the army of the inhabitants in the battle in 1807, which took place at the Fortress walls.

During the Second World War, the mansion, which was considered the symbol of the city, was destroyed. It was restored according to old drawings of the fifteenth century. For this reason, it now looks a little different from what the Schliffin nobles once conceived.

In 1963, the house became the property of a museum complex, which was dedicated to the Polish army. Then only temporary exhibitions were organized. Now the Museum of Polish Weapons is located next to the Schlieffens' house.

The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a 14th century Catholic parish church built in the Gothic style. Today this cathedral is attended by approximately 9000 parishioners. The temple belongs to the diocese of Koszalin-Kolobrzeg.

The exact date of the beginning of the construction of the parish church is unknown. It is believed that the temple was built on the site of the former Church of St. Nicholas. This shrine was first mentioned in 1321. Over the next two centuries, the church was rebuilt, expanded, and also the interior decoration was monitored.

In 1531 the church became Lutheran. Galleries have been set up in order to create more space for the congregation.

In the eighteenth century, the cathedral fell into a very poor state, after which it was renovated. In the spring of 1945, the church was damaged when Soviet troops besieged the town of Kolobrzeg. The nave of the vault collapsed, and the church itself was destroyed due to a strong fire. In the post-war period, the city administration wanted to demolish the ruins of the church, in 1957 it was decided to transfer it to Catholic communion for restoration. In the summer of 1986, Pope John Paul II elevated the church to the status of a minor basilica.

The most valuable object of the temple is a Gothic candlestick, whose height reaches four meters in 1327, and it weighs more than 900 kilograms. Also of great value to the church is the altar made of wood in the fifteenth century.

The Kolobrzeg lighthouse is located on the Polish coast of the Baltic Sea, its height reaches 26 meters. The first lighthouse appeared in the city in 1666. The old lighthouse was lit only when ships were expected to arrive. And only two centuries later a new Lighthouse with constant light appeared. It was an oil lamp suspended eight meters above the sea. This design required about seventy liters of fuel every year. In 1909, a gas lantern was used, which was hung at a height of 25 meters in a brick tower that was just being built.

In 1945, German troops blew up the lighthouse, as it was a hindrance during hostilities. The new lighthouse was built on the foundations of the old Fort near the entrance to the port of Kolobrzeg. In 1981, the lighthouse was overhauled.

Today this Lighthouse is a round red brick tower with a lantern and a double gallery. The lantern is mounted on a lighthouse on 8 columns, it shines at intervals of 2 seconds for 16 nautical miles.

In 2007, a postage stamp was issued with the image of my Kolobrzeg. Tourists often come to the lighthouse, as it is open to the public, and the gallery offers an unforgettable view of the city and the sea.

This is one of the most popular museums in the city. It consists of two branches, one is located on Emilia Gerchak Street, next to the Schlieffens' house it includes several buildings at the same time. But it was this branch that was the central and only one for a long time.

Founded in the Museum of Polish Weapons in 1963, at first its collection was very small and consisted of only a few pieces of heavy weapons, which were displayed in front of the building. Since that time, the collection of exhibits has increased many times, and the exhibition of cars, helicopters, cannons, aircraft, armored personnel carriers has turned into a real open-air museum. Nowadays, if you want to visit this museum, go to Gerchak street there is its main collection.

In the equipped halls there are ancient pikes, men's costumes of medieval warriors. At the permanent exhibitions, you can see collections of firearms, and there are also rare specimens. In separate rooms there are instruments and weapons connected with the sea. Lovers of antique costumes will be able to watch the selection in Excel with interesting, from the accessories that were used at different stages of the Polish army.

Another branch is located in the old palace in Braunschweig. Usually temporary exhibitions are held here, but there are all several permanent halls that are occupied by collections that acquaint everyone with the history of the city and the entire West Pomeranian Voivodeship.

In the port of the city, not far from the lighthouse and the long sea, which is decorated with wooden benches, there is a rather unusual monument called "Poland's betrothal to the sea". In appearance, it looks rather strange, as it resembles a large arch, moreover, of an irregular shape, or a Stele in which the sculptor made a hole. But if you take a closer look, it becomes clear that an artistically beaten banner will come by us.

This monument appeared in the city in honor of one ritual, which was erected in March 1945, just at that time the seaport was freed from the German military, Polish sailors were able to gain control over the Baltic coast. In order to make this event more solemn, the command of the navy organized a theatrical performance, somewhat reminiscent of the rituals in the Middle Ages of the Venetian Republic. Usually a doge in rich clothes went to the middle of the canal and symbolically turned, threw a ring with gems into the water.

This ceremony was also performed in Kolobrzeg. Among the sailors, a junior officer was chosen; he threw her from the pier with a wedding ring straight into the Baltic Sea. It is about this event that the monument on the Baltic coast reminds, it was created in 1963 in a modern style. It was made according to the project of the sculptor Viktor Tyulkin, who more than once worked on compositions that were dedicated to the martyrdom of the Polish people.

Is it possible to make a wish under the monument? Local residents believe that it will definitely come true.

The releases on the monument, which depict Polish soldiers, symbolize the slaughter of Poles in Pomerania, memorial plaques at the memorial were installed in honor of the victory in World War II

This bronze statue is located near the eromozski park. The project of the monument was developed by the sculptor from Wroclaw Adolf Kogel.

The memorial was created to honor the women who fought in the Polish army for the liberation of their fatherland during World War II, especially in the battle for the town of Kolobrzeg in 1945.

On the pedestal there are two human figures made of bronze: a wounded soldier and a girl in a Polish uniform with a bag that helps an early soldier. An example for this monument was a Stavropol nurse named Evelina. The nurse died in the spring of 1945, during the battle, when she was carrying a wounded soldier from the battlefield. The monument was installed in such a way that at no time of the day sunlight does not fall on the face of the nurse. This was not done by chance, but in order to draw attention to the cruel everyday life of young girls as nurses during the Second World War. You can find out more about this monument on the information plate, which is located next to the monument.

The historic building is located in the very center of Kolobrzeg. Today it houses the city administration, and in the basement there is a cafe, as well as a music club called "Adobe".

It was built in 1829, the project was created by the famous German architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel. The town hall is made in the neo-gothic style. The construction took about four years, in the same place where the medieval town hall once stood. The old building collapsed in 1807, during the siege of the city by Napoleon's army.

The new building was built on the foundations of the old town hall. The building looks very much like a medieval defensive tower with an open inner courtyard. On the main tower we can see the clock and the coat of arms of the city.

From the northeastern part of the Town Hall, architectural details of a medieval building remain, as well as partly the pillar of the sixteenth century. In 1945, when there was a battle in Kolobrzeg, despite the strongest bombing raids, the Town Hall remained intact.

Near the town of Kolobrzeg, in a suburb called Dobrzyca, there is a unique Botanical Garden, which consists of 28 zones. He works throughout the year. The gardens are decorated in Japanese, French, Italian and English style. In this amazing place, it is very good to hold various events, including weddings. Against the background of a rose garden or a pond with red flowers, photo shoots were often held for the most fashionable magazines. And the simple locals do not miss such an excellent opportunity to get beautiful photos.

There is a real heather field, alpine meadows, Japanese parks of stones. But the main feature of the local institution is the gardens, which are associated with the human senses. The garden that affects the eyesight has plants of the same color range, here you can see blue, purple, yellow and red lawns. The garden of smell includes a rose garden of aromatic herbs. There are also hearing gardens that allow a person to enjoy the sound of water and the rustle of grass.

More than 6,000 plant species grow in the Khortulus gardens; this park is constantly expanding and supplemented with the latest exhibitions.

Fort Ustye

This is one of the anchorages of the city fortress, the powerful Fort Ustye was formed on the banks of the Parsenta River, in the place where it flows into the Baltic Sea. It was built in 1774, on the place where there was once an earthen city that was used to defend the city in 1627. During the war, the city authorities were convinced that the earthen structure did not provide reliable protection for the local garrison, so this defense post was demolished and a new stone fort was erected on this site. In the nineteenth century, a Lighthouse was built on this territory.

After the Second World War, the lighthouse was replaced with a new structure, which was not only a landmark for ships, but also a kind of monument to the honor and valor of the soldiers who liberated the city of Kolobrzeg.

After the war, Fort Ustye was restored and is now open to the public. A very interesting element in it is the Brick Rotunda, which was previously used for storing weapons. In one part of the fort there is a cafe where you can taste Polish cuisine. The bastion is fenced off with a beautiful view of the sea. Near the entrance to the fort there are kiosks where you can buy something to remember the town of Kolobrzeg.
