history

Bomst was probably built around 1000 at a ford through the Faule Obra as a settlement around a fortification. Until 1307 the place was owned by the Pomeranian noble clan of the Swenzonen . In 1319 the city came to Brandenburg , in 1329 to the Silesian Duke Heinrich the Faithful of Glogau , who in 1335 subordinated himself to King John of Bohemia . Władysław II Jagiełło , Polish king since 1386, gave her Magdeburg rights before 1397 . In 1530 Sigismund the Elder renewed the town charter based on the example of the town of Poznan . In addition to the regular old town, the new town was founded in 1652 by Silesian exiles , which quickly grew into the largest district.
In 1656, during the Second Northern War , Bomst was robbed and destroyed by a Swedish army. The Swedes burned the pastor and vicar at a stake . The synagogue was rebuilt in the 18th century. In 1782 the first Protestant church was built. In 1793 Bomst came to Prussia . The inhabitants made their living from cloth and shoemaking and, above all, from growing hops and wine .
Between 1818 and 1938 Bomst was (with interruptions) the seat of the district of Bomst . Until 1945 the city was part of the district of Züllichau-Schwiebus .

Towards the end of the Second World War , in February 1945 , 35 percent of Bomst was destroyed in fighting between the Wehrmacht and the Red Army . The city was occupied by the Red Army and, in the summer of 1945, placed under Polish administration by the Soviet occupying power in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement . Unless the German residents had fled, they were subsequently expelled from Bomst by the local Polish administrative authorities .
1945 to 1950 the place was again a district town . The population increased after the war: in 1946 1284 people lived here, in 1957 there were already 2100.
