Kołobrzeg - a salt city with an intriguing history

Kołobrzeg is the fourth largest city in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. It plays an important role as a transport hub. It is here Parsenta flows into the Baltic Sea. From the town, it is possible to reach Germany via a sea border crossing. In addition, there is also a complex of harbours: a commercial harbour, the Polish Baltic Shipping, a passenger harbour, a fishing harbour and a yacht harbour.

 

Kolobrzeg - "City of Salt"

 

In the 7th century AD in the northern part of the Salt Island a settlement was established whose inhabitants were engaged in weighing salt. This event gave rise to the town of Kolobrzeg. Salsa Cholbergiensis, as this was the original name of the settlement, soon became extremely famous. As early as the year 1000, the Pope Sylvester II established a bishopric in Kołobrzeg, which had hitherto still been located in Kraków and Wrocław. However, less than a few years later, it collapsed as a result of pagan reaction. In 1107, Boleslaw III the Wrymouth again succeeded in returning the land to Poland.

 

 Thriving developmenthe city of Kolobrzeg

 

Kolobrzeg continued to be vibrant for another century, with work boiling all over the place. The town continued to pride itself on its salt production, and grew rich through herring fishing. It also had the privilege of minting its own coinage. The Slavic population, on the other hand, was severely restricted in their rights in trade and crafts and in holding high positions and practising certain professions. During the 16th century, the whole of the help, including the townspeople of Kołobrzeg adopted the teaching of Martin Luther.

 

 Difficult years of history

 

During the 30-year war, Kolobrzeg was almost completely destroyed. The time of the rule of Brandenburg, later known as Prussia and Germany, began. In 1653, the city was transformed into a fortress.Festung Kolberg", which for a period allowed it to recover somewhat from the ruins, but it was soon hit again by the damage of the 7-year war.
