City of Połczyn-Zdrój ( Bad Polzin )
history
In the 13th century there was already a Wendish settlement in the area of the later Polzin . Benedictine monks settled in its neighborhood at the end of the century , founded a German settlement, and around 1290 the Knights Templar probably built a castle there. At the beginning of the 14th century, the von Zozenow and von Glasenapp families became owners of the place, and Hasso von Wedell acquired the castle in 1320. In 1337 Hasso von Wedel-Polzin was named as a co-owner. The dukes of Pomerania-Wolgast granted Polzin the town charter in 1335 . In 1374 Gerd von Manteuffel took possession of the city. He had a fortification wall built around the city and had the Wardiner and Jagertower Gate built. In the conflict between Pomerania, Poland and the German Order of Knights, Polish mercenaries occupy the Polziner Castle in 1466 . They could only be driven out by Pomeranian Duke Erich II after fierce fighting. There is hardly any news about Polzin from the 16th and 17th centuries. There is only evidence that there was a church in 1418, which is mentioned in 1591 with the name Marienkirche .
Bad Polzin owes its status of a spa to the discovery of a blacksmith in 1688. A blacksmith who had advised a friend who suffered from an ocular infection to relieve his ailment with the milky-cloudy water of a spring that he had discovered near the river Wugger , to treat. After the spring water actually brought relief and the Polziner pastor Joachim Engelke had made this public, the healing spring was visited by many sufferers. Soon they didn't just come from the local area, especially since it turned out that the water also helped with varicose veins. Since Polzin was also situated in a scenic location in the so-called Pomeranian Switzerland, tourism flourished in the 18th century. Even the Prussian Queen Luise was one of the spa guests. The Marien and Victoriabad baths opened in 1854, the Johanniter Hospital opened a year later , and Polzin has also been a mud bath since 1857.
With the commercialization of the spa business in the 18th century, the city became more of a public interest. The mineral springs became the dominant economic factor and tourism increased steadily , with the exception of the war years 1914–1918 . This development was also promoted by the connection to the railway lines to Schivelbein in 1897 and to Bärwalde in 1906. The population rose from 4,500 in 1875 to 6,900 in the last German census in 1939 . In 1938, 127,082 spa guests were counted in Bad Polzin. With the beginning of the Second World War in 1939, however, the city had to stop operating the spa.
On May 1, 1938, the Pomeranian mother and child home of the Nazi race organization Lebensborn was opened in Bad Polzin . The Polzin city administration gave Hitler the Kurhaus Luisenbad , where the home was located until the end of February 1945.
Until 1945 Bad Polzin belonged to the Belgard district in the Köslin administrative district of the Pomerania province of the German Empire .
Towards the end of the Second World War , on Monday, March 5, 1945, Red Army soldiers occupied Bad Polzin. Like all of Western Pomerania , the city was placed under Polish administration by the Soviet Union after the end of the war . The immigration of Polish civilians from areas east of the Curzon Line began . Bad Polzin was renamed Połczyn-Zdrój . Where German citizens had not fled, they were in the period that followed sold .
economy
In Połczyn-Zdrój, the Fuhrmann SA brewery produces various types of beer under the Połczyńskie brand (loosely translated as 'Polziner'). The company refers to the tradition since 1825.

Blazon : "Split in silver, a red bar in front, three vines with blue grapes on a green three-hill at the back."
The bar is the coat of arms of those von Manteuffel , who had rights here as early as the 14th century, the vine testifies to the viticulture in this northern area. The seals known since the 16th century all show the same picture.
