history

From the 9th century to 1255 the settlement consisted of a Pomoran castle with a suburbium , which had recently grown to a considerable size and had a total of four churches. Over the centuries, the associated weir system has been rebuilt several times.

The place was first mentioned in writing in the annals of Thietmar von Merseburg in the year 1000 as salsa Cholbergiensis - for example: Salz-Kolberg - in the Gnesen act in connection with the establishment of a short-lived Kolberg diocese under Bishop Reinbern . The region had been conquered by the Polish dukes shortly before, but became independent again as a result of the Pomoran pagan reaction in 1005. Last but not least, the attention of the Polish dukes was also directed towards the Kolberg saltworks, especially since there was no comparable abundance of salt in Poland. In the period from 1108 to 1109 Bolesław III was. Wrymouth successful and was able to take the castle. Subsequently, the castle complex was temporarily owned by a Hungarian nobleman who had married a Polish princess.

The St. John's Church dates back to the time after the successful conversion of the Pomorans to Christianity in the 12th century, the construction of which is dated to the early 13th century. Alt-Kolberg lost its central role during the German settlement in the east through the establishment of the German town Kolberg , which was built a few kilometers downstream near the mouth of the Persante in the Baltic Sea. The castle was converted into a women's monastery. Altstadt (formerly also called Oldenstadt-Kolberg , Alten-Kolberg or Altstadt Kolberg ) continued to exist as a village settlement.

In the 18th century the old town belonged to the royal office of Kolberg in the principality of Cammin . The governor of the Kolberg district had his seat in the old town. Around 1784 there were five cottages in the old town, including the Schulzen , whose houses had been built in a row on the ramparts of the former fortress, and a total of 13 fireplaces (households) including the old town fortress. The Vorwerk is called 'knight-free'.

In the 19th century the place was a manor. Since the 19th century, the manor district of the old town and the rural community of the old town existed side by side until the country community was incorporated into the manor district around 1910. Helenenhöhe was run as a separate living space , where 7 residents were counted around 1910. With the abolition of the manor districts in 1928, the old town was incorporated into the neighboring rural community of Wobrow . Since 1872 the place belonged to the Kolberg-Körlin district .

Towards the end of the Second World War , the region was conquered by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 and then placed under Polish administration together with all of Western Pomerania.

It was not until 1948 that the German old town was renamed Budzistowo . The name Stare Miasto ("Old Town") was given to a new settlement created in the 1930s near the old town.
