history
Until 1295 the region belonged to the Pomeranian dukes. The church in Chmielno was founded by a Damroca from their family, daughter of a Swantopolk ; she spent the last years of her life in the Zuckau monastery , gave the monastery other villages in addition to Chmielno and died there in 1223.
From 1308 to 1466 the village belonged to the Teutonic Order of Prussia . After that, the place came with the division of Prussia into the western part, later also known as the autonomous Prussian Royal Part, which had voluntarily placed itself under the protection of the Polish crown. After the first Polish partition in 1772, the region with Chmielno came to the Kingdom of Prussia . From 1818 to 1920 Chmielno belonged to the Prussian Karthaus district .
After the end of the First World War , most of the Karthaus district, including Chmielno, had to be ceded to Poland in January 1920 for the purpose of establishing the Polish Corridor due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , without a referendum. As a result of the attack on Poland in 1939, the district of Karthaus with Chmielno came to the Reich territory in violation of international law and was now assigned to the administrative district of Danzig in Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia .
Towards the end of the Second World War , the district was occupied by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 . In the summer of 1945, the district with the village of Chmielno was placed under the administration of the People's Republic of Poland by the Soviet occupying power in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement . In the following years the German population was expelled from Chmielno by the local Polish administrative authority .
