NV Land Guide

Kołobrzeg, one of the oldest towns in Poland, is located on the Parsęta River in the central part of the Polish Baltic coast. The old town of Kołobrzeg was not located where the port is today, but 4 km further upstream on the Parsęta in what is now the village of Budzistowo. The first settlement was founded there in the VIII. century. In the year 1000, Bolesław Chrobry, King of Poland, founded the first bishopric in West Pomerania.

A new town was built on the east side of the Parsęta River, near the coast and a field with many brine springs. In 1255, Kołobrzeg was granted city rights under Lübish law, and at the beginning of the XIV century it became a member of the Hanseatic League. The numerous brine springs on both banks of the Parsęta River, about 1 km from its mouth, formed a solid basis for the economic development of Kołobrzeg. Even today, forty different brine springs and rich deposits of therapeutic mud form the natural basis for the existence and continuous development of a spa complex, whose natural healing properties  of the local brine were discovered in the XIXth century  and led to the first health resorts. In the past, salt obtained from brine was the main product of Kołobrzeg's trade.

Fishing, herring trade and agriculture contributed significantly to the economic development of the town. At the transition to the 16th century, when Kołobrzeg came under Brandenburg rule, the economy experienced a decline. A complete collapse occurred under Prussian rule, when the town was turned into a fortress and systematically destroyed during the wars.

During the Second World War, Kołobrzeg once again played the role of a fortress town and became one of the strongest elements of the so-called Pomeranian Wall - a long line of extremely powerful fortifications built by the Nazis in West Pomerania. The town was liberated after fierce fighting on March 18, 1945. It was the first liberated Polish seaport in the war, so a symbolic ceremony of marriage between Poland and the sea took place on that day.

Today's Kołobrzeg is mainly a well-known spa town with numerous sanatoriums specializing in the treatment of respiratory and circulatory problems, metabolic and endocrinological disorders and diabetes.
