history

Stone Age finds suggest that people lived in the area of the later Koben as early as 4000 years ago. A stone ax with a shaft hole and a stone hatchet, a flint knife and a scraper were found. Towards the end of the Stone Age, people came from the north who lived in rectangular huts and knew amber as jewelry. The finds were handed over to the State Museum for Prehistory and Early History in Berlin in 1899 .
The village of Chobena was first mentioned in a document in 1238. Around 1300 Magdeburg was granted town charter.
After the Battle of Kunersdorf in 1759, Frederick the Great stayed in Köben Castle. This event, the services to the country, the reforms, and the promotion of the prayer house church were widely recognized by the people of Köben. Frederick the Great granted the Köbenern the construction of a Protestant prayer house , which was completed in 1769. Before that, the services were allowed to be held in the town hall hall.
On January 1, 1820, the assignment was made by Köben from the district Guhrau in the district Steinau . On October 1, 1932, the Steinau and Wohlau districts were merged to form the new Wohlau district. In 1932 Köben had 1500 inhabitants.

On January 21, 1945, the Soviet Army came to the other side of the Odra with its first vehicles. For days, refugees from Lübchen and other eastern villages had been arriving at the ferry to get to the west side of the Oder. The last remaining Köbeners gathered and left the town by cart or on foot. Some families were asked by the Soviet soldiers to return to their hometowns. However, many houses were no longer habitable. In addition, Polish militia had now occupied the place. In the summer of 1945, Köben was placed under Polish administration by the Soviet headquarters. The local Polish administrative authority began to expel the native German population. The final deportation of the last remaining Germans took place on October 23, 1946.
The historic town hall, the Protestant church and a number of houses on the Oder side were demolished around 1960.
