history

In the early modern period, Balster belonged to the Dramburg district of the Neumark region of the Mark Brandenburg . From 1734, Balster was the seat of the Balster Office , a royal Prussian domain office. In the Prussian administrative reforms after the Congress of Vienna (1816), the district of Dramburg moved from Neumark to the administrative district of Köslin in the province of Pomerania with some border changes . The office of Balster was dissolved around 1840.

Since the 19th century, the Balster manor with the lord of the manor and the rural community Balster with the mayor (or Schulzen) coexisted. In 1910 there were 99 inhabitants in the Balster manor, and 342 in the Balster rural community. Later the manor district was incorporated into the rural community.

Before 1945, Balster formed a rural community in the Dramburg district of the Prussian province of Pomerania. In addition to Balster, the rural community also included the Adolphsruh , Balster Süd railway station and the Forsthaus Gaffel . In 1925 the municipality had 391 inhabitants in 98 households, in 1933 417 inhabitants and in 1939 398 inhabitants.

After the Second World War, Balster, like all of Western Pomerania, came to Poland. The village was given the Polish place name "Biały Zdrój". Today the village forms its own school administration office in the Gmina Kalisz Pomorski (municipality of Kallies) .
