history
The Koszalin-Kołobrzeg diocese is a relatively young diocese within the area of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland. Through the Apostolic Constitution Episcoporum Poloniae coetus of June 28, 1972, Pope Paul VI established. the diocese from diocesan areas that until then belonged de jure to the diocese of Berlin or the prelature Schneidemühl , but had been de facto under administrators since September 1945 .
The establishment of a diocese for the Koszalin-Kołobrzeg region ties in with the tradition that Kołobrzeg was already the seat of a bishop named Reinbern in the year 1000 , who held office there for a few years.
